TWO SEATS
why we are here
Is there a before … before the Big Bang?
Science believes there was moment when sub sub sub sub etc, elements came together. The moment leading indeed to the explosive event.
The come-together colliding moment that is an ever so slight tipping point. The moment, as when a spinning pointed object finally falls to one side, perhaps like a pencil.
To which side it tipped, and how, we do not know precisely. However that it did not fall equally to both sides, is the real point. And of course, an object spinning on a point, if symmetrical on all sides, cannot fall to both sides but just one. Thus began the fundamental “unequal” moment that led to the Big Bang.
The “unequal” that finds no description in modern scientific terms. Otherwise scientists would not have given the metaphor of a pencil spinning on a point.
However can we assign a symbolic means of understanding the “unequal” moment. The simplest way is by the colors of black and white. Black and white which are not equal, but non-existent with the other, thus equal in that sense.
Another way to understand this, and another metaphor I present, is the moment when Jesus is said to have walked on water.
Did Jesus call forth the moment? Or did the moment - and field and stage - call him?
An apt way to look at the beginning before the beginning, given that it evokes the elements, including water. But also its other state, ice.
Yet in the murky Before, it was likely more cold than it was hot. It is the Big Bang that was extremely hot. Yet before that, by the logic of hot-explosion, was it not-hot. In other words, cold.
Thus can we (accurately) speculate that the moment of walking on water, was in fact, the moment of walking on ice.
However again do we ask: was it the stage or person, which came first?
We return to the spinning object on a point — the point and moment so infinitessimally sub sub sub … yet immeasurably vast.
By logic of our modern day scientific understanding is there a degree of pre-determination in the world. Some things are impossible to manifest how we wish. For example, it is not possible to wish oneself to be born in a different set of circumstances for those new circumstances to come true.
However in that immeasurably vast and inscrutable point and moment — the moment before the existence of humans or the earth we live on — did the pencil fall in one direction.
The one direction led to the equal / unequal seen in the matter of most immediate relevance to us, the human race. The unequal / equal nature of the human race.
The human race that has a male and female. The two who are different, but equal in being indispensable to the other. The unequal / equal that is a paradox.
The one direction of the Before, that also led to our unequal / equal earth. Equal in its later implications of anthropology and evolution, i.e., its implications to the human race that later formed upon the earth.
Unequal however, in how the earth itself is distributed in land. The unequal geographic distribution of land across planet earth.
And to state the obvious, land that is the only true livable stage, to support human life.
Thus do we distinguish the Before, and in its unequal / equal founding moment, from current discussions about humans by way of topics of anthropology and evolution (and race). All that distracted from seeing clearly, the true moment, Before.
Before when?
Before the moment often described as Genesis.
Instead, Before the Before, when the pencil fell in one direction. The moment without which, the Universe would not have come to exist.
The pre-universe that would have remained an equal world of infinite possibilities, a perfect field of equidistant points, elements, impulses, infinitum.
However as we know, equidistant and equal is not how the Universe turned out. Nor the earth, nor human beings.
How then, specifically that is, might we understand Before the Before, as it regards humans?
As there are over 9 billion humans on earth today, and billions who came before, must we winnow the matter down to a few. A few, the method to simplify our understanding of things, but the few that also tells us something about the world today.
The few, who breathe life into the unequal / equal, beyond just one example of Jesus on the water. What then, of all the billions and billions who came by way of other lands, other religions, other hemispheres, climates.
The world today, of which a select few humans seem called forth, to materialize our understanding — not just of the pencil which fell in one direction. But into what? The field, in all its points, elements, impulses, infinitum.
The few to whom I refer, in fact, are persons alive today. Persons as predetermined then, as was the one predetermined to arrive at a Sea, and walk upon it.
But to where, and what? The religion that says, from the edge — and bring us to back from it.
The edge, which was never intended to be a mere theoretical end of a long book. The edge, as it relates to long time, which is a singular moment.
The moment, the cumulative one of moments from then to now. From the sub sub sub sub, however now, by means of its related arena, science.
What humans understood through religion, now has its imminent instruments in science. The sub sub sub sub … we many have the unique misfortune, to understand a new way. In other words, the same science which enables us to (correctly) posit a pencil and field, the same science sub sub sub to end all human life, in nuclear weapons.
Thus, the few. The non-theoretical truth of the moment, which is that the world has put such control, of all weapons and instruments, in the hands of a few. The moment, unique in all human history — and in the history of Universe.
The first moment, where we the human race, can peer into the past, and simultaneously future. When did it begin, and what did this mean, for our future?
The few upon whom rest the question: will we continue, as a human race?
The question, if ponderable by all the human race, nevertheless, in unequal / equal manner, in non-theoretical reality, falls into the hands of the very few. The same few who could impact equally however, the human race.
Before the Before, when the pencil fell just in one direction. Yet as equally as was determined that one direction, was then determined what became the unequal earth, of equally important humans thereafter.
The few, to arrive upon unequal lands. The few, to confirm a founding truth: that the pencil fell in one direction.
The one direction, and an impact.
The impact, and coming together of two.
The two, that made an unequal / equal truth, the very one that makes us who we are. The human race that consists of Male and Female.
The human race, existent not just on timeline of earth, but the billions of years, and billions, trillions, exponentials of trillions of elements and dynamics and forces since not just Before, but Before the Before. Before Genesis, when was determined Male and Female.
But what of the Few?
Male and Female, as we know, had no easy path, known by the times after being expelled from Eden. The existence of religion, in its hopes, warnings, prescriptions, consolations, serving as testament to this fact.
The Few that came to represent Male Female in totality, in the times post-Eden. The human race attempting to find its way, in the place of unequal / equal earth.
The Few, representative of a challenge, as simultaneous missionaries and contradictors/objectors.
Missionaries of a founding truth … while doings so on unequal lands, and stage, i.e., Earth. The religions, and histories and empires, telling the story of the same.
The story that is not a theoretical one, taking place from then to now. The story, instead, culminating uniquely, and in real life, as we are living it today.
The world now barreling towards WWIII. The moment science can meet the human hand, in the devastating press of a button.
A point of no return, and all the world that would end right there. Weapons that would impact equally, the human race.
Thus do we return — to impact. The first one, Before the Before.
Before the Before, when two collided. When the pencil fell, and the universe began.
How it fell, as we did not realize until now, the same question posed in Genesis.
The question about the Fall, and expulsion from Eden. The question of how to return.
Thus must we return to the Fall — the one long before the Fall of Genesis.
The inscrutable moment right before the Big Bang. When the pencil fell, because of two.
But which that fell and for whom, we are not quite sure. All we know is that the pencil fell.
Billions, trillions, and sub sub sub and exponential later, Adam who rose.
Adam, from the ground on two feet and legs,
The ground that enabled him to do so — or Adam that enabled himself, regardless. The ground that was mud, and the outcome that could have gone either way.
Adam who knew however, that he was more than muddy ground. There, on the other side of the ground, the far horizon ground. Eastward, where was Eve.
Eve who also stood on two feet and two legs. Eve simultaneous to Adam.
But was there an actual sequence, when one rose first? The mystery that comes down to the nano nano nano sub sub sub. The moment of who rose first — or who fell first.
Adam and Eve, not quite sure of the same. Adam and Eve, who only knew themselves to be simultaneous to the other. The precise sequence they left to be debated, in the histories thereafter.
The debate by religions, theologians, non-believers, atheists, politicians, pundits, laymen. By missionaries and simultaneous contradictors and objectors. The debate that would simultaneously thrill, delight and enrage — and the earth that came to churn and burn for it.
Churn and turn, society, war, civilization and crumble. Yet always, we thought, the ruins from which to begin again. Uniquely however, when such a possibility may never exist again.
When would not exist again, the chance to stumble and fall, and rise again.
Rise upon one truth: the solid ground upon which we stand.
The ground, unequally distributed, since the Earth began. The unequal fact seen in the earth’s geography, and the largest land we observe by it called Eurasia.
Eurasia, remnant of a previous geographic truth, from the times of Earth’s formation. The largest remnant of a time when there was only piece of land on earth, called Pangaea.
The rest of the earth, by deduction, was the state of not-land. The non-land that was the state of water.
The time of Pangaea when humans did not yet begin to exist, including to debate each other about their origins. Pangaea times when the greatest debate was simply the one of Land vs Sea.
Humans, upon their eventual arrival, chose one versus the other. Land over Sea.
Land, upon which Adam rose, and Eve the same.
Yet a long, long time ago, there was only the Fall.
The Fall so great, the pencil and direction became one. And in that same moment, were torn apart.
The two catapulted, in separate directions, across the Universe. The two that have tried to find each other since — the very Universe formed by the journey itself.
The journey of two, and stars, galaxies, neutrons that came of them.
The Universe, in nebulas, supernovae, protons, electrons, gravity, black holes. The two that remained unconcerned who rose or who fell, first.
The two simply undeterred, to find the other.
The Two that began, Before the Before. When time had not yet even begun. When space had not either.
Yet the Two that did not fail to leave their mark. The Two, despite the Universe that conspired against them.
The Universe that sent them to the furthest ends. The Universe that wondered, to what horizon, what far journey, could they endure? The Universe that continued to be formed by the same.
The Universe that perhaps could expand infinitely, wondering the same. The Universe, too, that knew it might reach a point of no return. Thus did the Universe relent.
To acknowledge how it began: by the Fall, and when the journey of Two began.
The Universe, amidst it all and itself, nevertheless knew the inevitable: the Two that would find each other again. Thus did Earth begin to form.
Earth for the two, unconcerned. Who fell, who rose, before or after the other. The two that only knew they did so, on two feet.
Before and after, what we misunderstood in Genesis this whole time. Adam and Eve whom we thought were a matter of sequence, while ignoring the sequence that made Genesis to begin with.
Later thus did another two arrive, to help our understanding.
However of the Two, only one who walked on water.
Why, to signal a journey, and direction — the one of Adam, but also Eve.
Adam who traveled East, to the Garden of Eden.
Eve of Eden, simultaneously moved. A sub sub sub nano moment before .. or was it after? Eve who simply looked West.
Adam and Eve, each aware of the other direction. Each, that is, aware of the other.
The two directions that make the rotation of Earth. The two directions from which come the rise of sun, and rise of night. The direction by which humans came to understand light and dark.
Light and dark, we thought were about good and evil. Instead, are simply the qualities of Day and Night.
But by nature of rotation, is there a true East, and true West? Does the Day really begin in one place, and first?
However a long time ago the pencil that fell in one direction. Today we might ask: towards the night, or the day?
The Two, unconcerned. Each that simply searched for the other.
Thus arrived Pangaea, by way of Earth, formed by its movement. Earth, rotating East to West, and Pangaea that came to be stretched along the same.
East and West, edge to edge, that was the land, Pangaea. Later became, in its largest remnant, Eurasia. Eurasia that retained the key forming, shaping quality of Pangaea.
Edge to edge, Eurasia where occurs the greatest number of sunrise and sunset, in one day.
Eurasia, where would also occur, Jerusalem. And another city, north of Jerusalem called Migdal.
Migdal, located on the north side of the Sea of Galilee, and where was born Mary of Migdal, i.e., Mary Magdalene.
The question thus: why suddenly North, and thus also, South?
The question, since North and South have long been misunderstood.
North that erroneously came to be associated with a moral compass. North which also came to mean “up” and South that came mean “down.” These are incorrect.
North and South are about what they are at their most-North and most-South points.
As you could say, at their True North and true South. These are their locations at the North Pole and South Pole. Both which are very cold.
The poles located at the ends of the rotation axis. The poles thus also creating a hemisphere in which it sits — the hemisphere equal to the hemisphere on the other side.
In between, a distinct dividing line, the Equator.
A non-debatable line by dint of how the axis, poles, hemispheres work, within the motion of rotation.
Contrast to the “line” dividing East and West, of which there is none based on mechanics alone.
However did there come to be a line anyways, though erroneously so. The one assigned in modern human times called Greenwich Meridian.
The line however, that does not speak to a far more ancient truth — of the land of greatest number of sunrises, night rises, sunsets, moon rises, above all other lands. The land, Eurasia.
Eurasia, edge to edge, which does not quite include the island where sits Greenwich Meridian.
However does include a massive nation, wherein also sits the greatest number of such day/night, sun/moon time events, which is Russia. Indeed, Russia the land with the most amount of timezones, on earth.
Thus do we return to the Sea of Galilee — the body of water which had turned to ice.
How so, understood through the history of earth, and how Pangaea came to be, that is, in its location, North. Specifically, in its greatest spanning width, along the polar circle, I.e., near the North Pole.
Jesus, who pointed to the far shore — north. Jesus, not unaware of the direction where was once a landscape where the land could not even be seen.
The land not physically visible, because it was covered in ice. Jesus who pointed to a time we call today the Ice Age.
From it, and the North, also flowed the waters, as glaciers began to retreat. A warming period of the earth that had begun.
Within that time, arrived the first humans.
The flowing waters led to the creation of a river valley in western Eurasia, which deposited into the Black Sea. From this region comes the story of Noah.
Before Noah of course, was Adam. The one who battled not the endless waters of flood, but an earlier battle, which was against the mud.
Adam victorious, and rose from it - yet was forever inseparable from it too. The muds indeed of the later river region known by an annual “flood”. Melting glacier waters in spring mixed with soil, i.e., mud.
Mud, the matter not quite solid, nor entirely liquid.
Mud, neither liquid nor solid, yet humans that rose and formed anyways.
Humans comprised fundamentally of Two.
The two sexes comprised of elements, liquid and solid. Thus did Jesus reach across the water. Thus did Mary reach across too.
However did only Jesus walk upon the water, Jesus, in the direction of North, to make not the point of North per se, except to recognize North, where formed Pangaea.
Including in its widest width. The width in directions East and West, and West and East. The directions of the journeys of Adam and Eve.
Yet again, the East and the West, on mechanics alone, that do not have a distinct dividing line.
However do the mechanics not exist in a theoretical vacuum, when it comes to Earth. Instead, the mechanics of rotating Earth that created Pangaea.
Earth, unique amongst all other planetary objects in that way. Earth, not some mere spinning object of mechanics alone.
The elusive East-West dividing line, not coincidentally, is a matter of sequence.
Which comes first the Day or the Night … and where do we even make that determination in the first place?
Jesus who knew the matter of sequence had to be resolved, a different way. Thus did he turn to the matter of North and South.
North and South, in their true nature, are the matter of cold.
Cold, by which a miraculous stage was made: a solid state formed out of liquid.
Solid and not-solid, not coincidentally, also became the means by which to signify Male and Female. Eve, said to come out of Adam’s rib.
However did Jesus know Eve rose on two feet, Before or after Adam, it mattered not.
Mary of Migdal who stretched her hand across the water. That she did not walk on the water, mattered not. Mary Magdalene, who stood on the shore closest to North.
Jesus and Mary Magdalene both, who stood in awe. The frozen water separating them in distance, but bonding them at the same time.
The bond, and miracle, between. The miracle and truth of a far ancient age - the miracle as evident as Eve.
The Male and Female, each containing elements of both solid and liquid.
Eve, as comprised of bones as Adam, as she had been from her beginning. Eve who rose on two legs by them. Eve who did so simultaneous to Adam — Adam who rose from the mud, inseparable from it thereafter.
Eve who rose too. Eve who stood at the far shore, and edge.
The edge furthest East, where began a great sea.
The Sea, not the one of Galilee, but the one covering rest of the world. The Sea, remnant of the great ancient time when the greatest debate, was the one versus the Land.
The Land Pangaea, later Eurasia — and Eve who stood upon it, in time and space.
On two feet. marking the place both ancient and originating, and remnant thereafter. Eve, inseparable from that fact and place.
Adam and Eve, separate beings, yet commonly inseparable from their time and place. Adam and Eve, commonly inseparable from each other, for that same reason.
Adam and Eve, the Two inseparable for reasns beginning a long time before. Before the Before, before even Genesis had begun.
But what of the Few?
Male and Female, that came to be the human race. In their hopes, warnings, prescriptions, consolations, lived, wrote, forgot, re-wrote, revisited the histories. Societies that rose and fell.
The Few, today, upon whom the world turns.
The world now barreling towards WWIII. The next world war, from which there would be no coming back. No finding our collective way back to Eden, let alone, an Eden at all.
Eden, existing on the edge of the once great land. Today, in exactitude, at the edge of Eurasia, jutting out into the Pacific. The edge, after which the ocean plummets into a deep trench, what today is called the Ring of Fire.
The edge, however, is indeed where Land meets Sea. Not coincidentally, where sits the precipice of war, and the age of Weapons of Mass Destruction. The peninsula where is drawn a line at the 38th parallel, i.e., the Korean War at the Cold War.
Uncoincidentally, there at the 38th parallel, are the muddy flats at the delta of the main river cutting across the Korean peninsula. There where General MacArthur tried to make a “muddy mark”, in the event called the Battle of Incheon.
Yet Eve who stood at the edge and looked West. Eve, who rose on two feet and did not make her West. Eve who knew the mudd remembered Mary Magdalene, on the North edge — the directions of vast icy sheets, i.e., glaciers.
Eve who knew the melt of melts where stood Adam, on two feet.
From mud to mud, came to be defined a great land, within the larger land Pangaea.
Where would come to be defined the span of the largest nation of earth today, Russia.
Yet what of The Few?
The Few, lost souls, trying to find their way back. To when a table almost gathered in full, yet wars and histories that came between.*
Today, they are the few, who know the war at the heart of all other wars. The one more important than the one between the Allied and Axis powers in the mid 20th century.
The war more important than between the Unionists and Confederates in the mid 19th century.
Or the New World settlers and British redcoats in the late 18th century.
Instead, the war over the beginnings, about Adam and Eve.
*A war presaged in the Middle Ages, in the 13th century. The war fought on two fronts: in Western Pangaea (Crusades) and Eastern Pangaea (Mongolian invasions).
The war in turn, a result of the war over the very area where glacier melted, and became the Black Sea. The war, not-coincidentally, seen in today’s conflict between Russia and the Ukraine.
The war, as we fail to be told, have their geographic basis in the northwest glacial fields of Russia, There where Russian history began — and thus also, the history of Kiev.
There from which flow the waters of glacial melt, making historic riverbanks of mud. The muds that deterred all from Alexander the Macedon to Julius Caesar to Napoleon. The muds that set the stage for the latter’s infamous retreat and defeat.
Adam, whom they all tried to emulate and signify themselves to be.
Adam who rose where others could not. Eve, who rose in the East.
Eve, from the edge of the land today called Eurasia. From the peninsula jutting out into the Great Sea, called today Korea.
Eve who foresaw all the other waters that would try to be signified, the same. From seas and lakes and rivers, where would be debated Origins.
From the Ganges and waters melting from the Himalayans.
From the Red Sea to the Nile, to the Lake now called Victoria.
From the Mediterranean where Greeks and Romans would toil by gods of fury and thunder.
From waters plied by great ships claimed new empires. From rivers called today Hudson, Mississippi, Missouri, and empty into a churning stormy Gulf.
From tropical wetlands, and rivers Amazonian. Through jungle heading southward, and to where the air and terrain turned cold once again.
Eve, who saw the entire turn of the world.
Rotation, East to West. Eve who would not have done been able to do so without Adam.
Who came to know this later, are The Few.
Today, not coincidentally, the ones around whom the world’s core events, turn. Those upon whom converge the next step. What next step, in a world falling apart?
The next step, futile unless going back to the beginning, first. The beginning, from which comes the debate over Adam and Eve.
The answer, as we find, that is not about to be about nationality, culture, religion. The answer that is not about anthropology and race.
Thus The Few, who converged upon this moment, to recognize this fact. The Few, given that the most of human society disagreed.
The Few, that recognized directions East and West, and West and East.
East and West, West and East, shaping the land-span of greatest number of sunrises and nightrises. The same land where, not coincidentally, came to take center stage of the Cold War. The war measured in nuclear warheads.
Edge to edge, the great span along the Arctic circle, that came to be the general boundaries of Russia. South of this span where also came to occur China and the Koreas.
The United States on the other side of the Pacific, the largest remnant waters, from times of Land vs Sea.
The U.S., the nation founded by European settlers. But as we have not realized this whole time, the nation formed to try establish itself as the supreme continent, over all other land of earth. What it lacked in Pangaea history, i.e., geologic rotational history, it sought to compensate for in weapons.
The truth understood by the European settlers, in their aspirations from the moment they settled there — the aspirations not incorporating the native peoples, to land inspired by and cohesively working with and beside them.
Instead, a land modeled after Western Europe, including in its symbols, heroes, anti-heroes, nemeses. Out of this symbolism did George Washington come to call the eastern city New York, the American seat of empire.
New York, named after York England where took place the battle that made Constantine, the Great. Similarly, York Virginia where George Washington made sure to win the Revolutionary War. By these is understood nearly all else of the US, in the nation it became.
Yet Eve who stood at the edge, from another time and place.
Adam, who stood on the other edge, and knew the same.
The Few who would be destined arrive, in agreement.
The Few, from nations all around the world, not just America. The Few, to recognize, and represent, the world as not being centered around a English battle alone. The battle from which was claimed the throne of Christianity thereafter.
The Few, thus, destined to gather around a new table.
In fact, the original table, lost along the way. The Few, to materialize it again.
The table, in Russian, is called STOHL.
The table, nevertheless transcending place and language, except to confirm the once Pangaea land. The table confirming the land within, mud to mud.
The creatures of free will, that choose their journeys, East to West, or West to East.
The creatures, rising not to claim the superiority of one race another. The Two who did not exist for that reason.
The table gathering, to confirm the true reason. The reason, Why, they began at all.
The Two, around whom the table forms.
The Two today, born in the nations at greatest nuclear odds against the other.
The Two, therefore, of the most difficult journey, to fill their seats.
Eden, on the edge of a vastly spanning land, East to West.
The land of the greatest number of sunrises and sunset, and moon rises, on Earth. The land as unique as the Earth upon which it was shaped and formed.
The land, and stage, to understand Adam and Eve, in what they truly signify.
The Male and Female of no known sequence, in who walked or rose first. Neither sex, more or less “first” than the other. The truth as evident as the sun rises in the morning, and sets at night.
Eve, who made that point, from where she stood.
Eve who looked West. There, where Adam looked East, to Eden.
Eden that would not ultimately make sense without him. Eve otherwise a desert, from which would come no human race.
Later, where formed Galilee, in a desert. Neither Galilee nor the desert, where would easily come the answer — as to how, or why, Jesus walked on the water.
Eden, a desert without him.
Thus did Jesus reach out. Thus did Mary Magdalene reach out too.
Jesus and Mary of Magdalene as unique the Earth upon which they were born.
Earth, for Two that had been drifting for too long.
Earth that enabled them to arrive. Earth created for that very reason, and unique in that fact.
Earth, unique amongst all other planetary objects in that way. Earth, not some mere spinning object of mechanics alone.
Earth only where formed, Male and Female. Each a bit solid, each a bit liquid too, in bones, flesh, blood. Each, in their proportions, composition, indispensable to the other.
But why on Land, and not Sea?
The Sea, where humans would not have formed a ribcage. The Sea, where they would not have formed their spine, and legs and arms, to walk the ground, and steady themselves upright.
Land which lent to their steps, gravity and weight.
The Sea, by contrast, which buoyed them, to be softened and mellowed. The Sea, that humans would not become mere bluntness, and thud.
The Sea that enabled us to float, and glide - including on the Sea where Jesus performed a miracle.
Jesus and Mary Magdalene who both saw the miracle it was: when the water turned solid.
The miracle as evident as Eve — the miracle as evident as flesh and blood — and also, bone.
Jesus and Mary Magdalene, as unique as the Earth upon which they were born. Each, comprised of components, solid and liquid.
Each, equal and unequal to each other, by those components. Each sex incapable of existing without the other, by the same.
The Two, the creatures upright on two legs, the journey, one foot in front of the other. Each step, a labor in its own right, to navigate gravity, and weight.
Their steps, and labors, as creatures no longer drifting across the Universe, from then to now.
From Before the Before, when there was no earth, no land, no solid matter, nor any matter at all.
Genesis Day One alludes to this, describing a time lacking material form.
Day Two, that separated the waters from the waters.
Day Three when Eden began. Day Three, coming after Day Two — after the waters had separated. Only then did a miracle form.
The solid state, out of liquid.
The solid ground of Eden. Only then could humans appear.
Yet Eden too, that they had to leave. The Fall of humankind, attributed this whole time to Eve.
To a single moment, with an apple.
The moment, we never thought to consider, if we understood incorrectly.
The tree that was not presented to Eve, alone.
Adam was at the tree, too. Adam, that wished to pick the apple too. If not, he would not have so quickly named Eve. Adam, feeling guilty for what he meant to do, too.
Adam who named a sequence, when there was not a sequence before.
And in that moment, the Fall. The knowledge, thus, not the knowledge we thought this whole itme.
Instead, the knowledge we were never supposed to have, which is simply the one we can never figure out. The impossibility of knowing sequence, in the time and place, Before the Before.
Before the Before when the pencil that fell … or was it the direction that drew the pencil to it?
The mystery without which there would no Genesis from which to “begin”.
Begin, and beginnings, the message we missed this whole time. Begin, not as a mere literary device to have a place to start.
Instead beginning, as the fundamental means of examining everything along the way. Beginning, the matter that did not end at Genesis.
The Fall, therefore, triggered not by a terrible knowledge. Instead by the impossible one and the claim to have the knowledge, of who came first.
Who rose first. Who, the “first” sex.
Yet Jesus who walked upon the water - and Mary Magdalene who reached to him, at the same time.
Each, towards the other, out of a sea of many. One, out of many land journeys, they might take.
Earth, and Pangaea, made for that reason.
For one, out of a field of plenty. From it, only one land that was made.
The one land, to choose another. And equally, for the other to do the same.
To choose one direction — and thus the pencil. And the direction that drew the pencil to it.
Why, out of a field of many, for the simplest of reasons.
Mary Magdalene, from the other side of the ice.
Jesus who reached out in return. To change what Adam said.
Jesus, to tell the knowledge, unknowable.
The knowledge unknown by questions, when, where or how.
After all: why the night sky is to begin with. And why the sun that came before or after?
Why the question that could take us to the beginning of time.
Before the Before, and then ask it again. The questions not of how, when, where — but why.
The why, of why we are here.
The Two who knew the answer: to find the other. Why?
The answer, as true then as it is now. Theanswer, timeless, unchanging, this whole time.
Why we are here.
The answer is Love.
Love is the answer.
