Why do we loathe the idea of people imitating us if it isn't because we are so ashamed of all that we have done and are still capable of doing? And, despite this, why do we still strive to convince others that they should hold onto certain theological and philosophical precepts that we cherish?
I am nevertheless required to speak by compulsion. I am persuaded that only with these truths can we break up the fallowness of our hearts and our minds to hear and receive uncompromised truth. Therefore, my intent is to provoke this refining in myself and others.
This is the Wisdom of the True Philosopher: Not alone, I must be forged.
The universe, despite its glory, is a dim reflection of that transcendent unity that reaches into the depths of all our souls declaring that in unity we can accomplish anything.
As a refining fire and hammer upon steel, are my friends to my heart and mind--completing and maturing my intent and will.
