Father Reason, by Rumi

astronomydvd

The universe is a form of divine law,

your reasonable father.

When you feel ungrateful to him,

the shapes of the world seem mean and ugly.

(this and upcoming images from drwcampbell )

Make peace with that father, the elegant patterning,

and every experience will fill will immediacy.

Because I love this, I am never bored.

Beauty constantly wells up, a noise of springwater

in my ear and in my inner being.

Tree limbs rise and fall like the ecstatic arms

of those who have submitted to the mystical life.

Leaf sounds talk together like poets

making fresh metaphors.  The green felt cover slips,

and we get a flash of the mirror underneath.

Think how it will be when the whole thing

is pulled away!  I tell you only one thousandth

of what I see, because there's so much doubt everywhere.

The conventional opinion of this poetry is,

it shows great optimism for the future.

But Father Reason says,

No need to announce the future!

This now is it.

This.

Your deepest need and desire 

is satisfied by the moment's energy

here in your hand.

(pakistantimes)

No, Well, Probably Three

hiya

now in the last entry, 

I contemplated how a given channelling body

can channel more than one personality,

probably three,

maybe more.

I know I have at least three who are 

pretty damned strong.

Are any of them me?

(insert my name as it is known on this earthly plane, which,

quite frankly, 

just isn't that important.)

No.

Not a single damned one of them can claim that name.

They are all other spirits

working through my

earthly avatar

and the difference

between me

and you

is that I acknowledge

that not one single aspect

of the combination of forces

that exist within me 

is dominant:

they are all equal,

and their primary job

on earth is to find a way

whereby they can function 

as equals.

The only way is by using the mind,

that tool in our Avatar

that we were given,

which has the power

to balance our disparate differences.

( templeton-cambridge )

I mean, honestly, why not?

It seems the most economical way to do it, after all.

Imagine all the fragmented,

fractured 

personalities that resulted

from the shattering of the glass

at the beginning of time

-- that nasty old reflecting surface, that mirror --

(to understand this more, please see my earlier entries on the mirror

and palindromes)

We've gone through time

piecing them together,

trying to find the perfect balance --

(each couple, indeed, could be channeling

up to at least eight personalities,

maybe more,

that have to be absolutely in harmony

in order for the couple

to be happy.)

I'm going back to non-italics:

if you can,

read these sections first,

then go back to the italics,

because that's how my mind works:

So, imagine this:

our bodies are avatars =

containers that carry

the multiple dimensions

of the aspect

of God

which is perfect.

It's funny, because

in the movie 

Avatar

there was only one 

person

per

avatar;

however,

don't you think that,

given the expense of the technology,

and given

the rise in group think

in our society 

even Americans would see the logic

of putting more than one personality 

into on avatar --

that's right:

if the USofA

developed the technology

of the avatar and decided

(as in the movie)

to get to know

another nation or creation,

you'd be damned sure you wouldn't get

an avatar to yourself:

it's neither cost conscious, 

nor effective.

Indeed, folks working
in avatars
would have to learn to work together,
in small groups
wherein the personalities all
have different,
complimentary
strengths.
That would make maximum use of the technology.

 . . . . . 

I mean, seriously,

how many space flights had 

only one man on board?

( spaceflight.nasa )

And for the ones that did only have one man,

did they get very far?

( nasa.gov )

This is not to say that we don't need those rebels,

those daredevils who dare

to go first,

but when it comes right down to getting bigger jobs done,

yes, even America has come to realize

you need more than one.

(  columbia  )

(NO!

I'm not being a communist:

just look at it; 

we - the USofA - are very clearly promoting

the group:

 (Google meeting pods designed after Antarctic expedition igloos

found at:

jonathan fields.com )

in-class presentations,

working environments,

everything ----is moving

towards privileging

groups over individuals

so why do we get so upset

over the idea of

a government that acknowledges

that the health of the group

is at least as important as the health

of the individual?

Huh?

Or a government style that feels that

promoting collective solutions

can be more productive than

individual solutions?

I went off track to point out that,

one of the primary flaws in 

the logic of the American system is that

it places far too much importance

on the individual, even as it is

acknowledging, more and more

that the best solutions are

collective solutions.

Very rarely do we experience

 a genius, 

and I'm about to propose an explanation

as to why that so rarely happens:

( wcotrim )

So imagine this:

Imagine that when we are not in our bodies,

we are in another form -

a spiritual form,

that is nearly perfect,

except for the fact that it

was kind of broken

at the beginning of time.

That's right,

the entity we embody 

when we are not in our bodies

is not God;

it is the representation of God

and it was created

at the beginning of time, 

and

it was kind of broken,

by God, who (if you remember

my earlier entries, on the Creation,

etc. . . .follow the key words)

in a moment of weakness,

had the crazy idea

that He wanted

to create something that was exactly

the same

as Him.

 ( Marassasclass )

That's right:

why the hell did God

want to create something in his own likeness

If he was everything?

I mean:

seriously, folks,

if God is everything

he has no fucking reason

to want to create

something

beyond himself.

come on!

Let's be serious, 

now.

but he did

And the reason why God felt the desire

to see himself,

was because:

He is Everything.

And part of everything is:

desire,

lust,

greed,

jealousy,

power,

subserviance,

dominance

desire

desire

desire

desire

So at the moment when God experienced

a preponderance of Desire,

(because God, being God, goes in cycles,

trying out the various aspects

of everything

at regular intervals)

He produced Us.

So He could look at Us.

Because we are all

part of Him.

We, combined,

are the mirror image

of God,

which -

don't forget 

- is Everything.

Humankind is the
ongoing experimen
to reproduce
the perfect mix
that is God
so we can get back to the task
of reflecting God's greatness
back to God;
indeed
we can get back to the task of being God.

So each human entity
is a combination

of the parts of Him,
but only a limited combination

because

each one of us is limited

in  the qualities we can hold

because we're holding our qualities

in physical containers,

and the physical

is not infinite.

(  completelysmitten )

So please read my entries on tikkun, Kabbalah, and Creation --

I can't explain again everything in them.

Anyway:

imagine this:

at the moment of creation

God broke the mirror,

or whatever the object was

that He intended to view himself in

because, shit,

that mirror had the task of 

reflecting 

infinity,

and,

well,

any created substance

does not match the power

of Everything.

So the mirror broke,

into bits and pieces

that got named at that moment

of creation;

humans are part of that

rubble,

and our task ever since then

has been:

to put it back together again;

to reproduce

the perfect

combination

of all the elements

and rejoin

God,

which is everything,

again.

This is a problem

and a challenge,

because

the inherent aspect

of all life

all creation

is that it is 

individualized

specified

separate.

In fact,

we had to gain

a more specific

sense of our selves,

our specific identities

before we could

merge again

into being

God.

( blackcommenter )

That's what the beauty of America

is.

One of my former husbands said

that America is nothing but

a great experiment

(oh, I know he's not the first to say it)

a great attempt to 

ignore difference, but of course

that's proving to be impossible:

the biggest problem in America today

is that we just can't tolerate

difference.

But to be American,

following the original tenents

of America

is to be

tolerant,

forgiving,

respectful.

( DecOfInd )

Anyway,

America was the first step 

in the evolution of the collective mind

to combine the parts of the broken vessel

on a collective level. 

But perhaps it was too early?

No, I think not --

( sulekha )

At the beginning of time,

when God created Man,

he produced Avatars,

recognizing that the Avatars

cannot contain just one piece

of God,

because if the Avatars

contained just one piece

of God,

they would simply sustain the problem,

the problem being

that God was not Everything

as long as Part of Everything

was Us.

US

The United States of America --

That place where States -

geographical boundaries

retain an individual identity

when the real essence

of the founding fathers' documents

was Union.

If the United States of America

could realize that

it is one country

that is responsible for

all  of its citizens

no matter what

their race, religion,

color, or code,

then the United States of America

could

be the model for the rest of the World.

But the danger, is, this:

we can't do it while also retaining

our stubborn hold on believing 

in the validity of the individual.

We literally have to lose

our Egos

and love one another

Now isn't that the craziest thing

you've ever heard in your life?

. . . . this is not the miracle.

The miracle is this:

if we suddenly,

by some 

insane

balance of all the elements,

all our disparate parts

Fell In Love

with each other,

which means:

loving the black man

loving the white man

loving the Asian man

loving the Muslim man

loving the man who

loves the man;

loving

the woman who loves

the woman because she sees

the woman understands, in a way

that no man can understand

because the Man Is The Mirror

In every couple, we have the reproduction

of the two halves of God -- the women

gets the horrible task of being the more powerful

creative half,

the Man, oh the sad sad Man,

has to recognize that his task

is, well, functional:

the Man is the Mirror,

the object God produced

so God Could See God--Self.

But it gets more challenging still:
if you can acknowledge the premise

that each couple reenacts the creative impulse,

the moment of desire when God wanted to see 

Herself

and if you acknowledge the idea that

the mirror broke

because it was not up to the job,

and WE are the pieces of the mirror

and OUR TASK is to use this earth

+

our earthly avatars

+

all the elements the earth gives us

in order to find

the perfect balance that brings us back to

God

well, hell, if you're still with me,

bless your heart,

If you can acknowledge all of that,

well, then you might see why

it is essential that all these avatars

(AKA: our bodies)

cannot just contain 

(ie: channel)

one personality

To be more efficient,

the avatars

should contain at least three, maybe

even four

of the elements of God,

and if

within that avatar

those elements find a way 

to have balance,

well, 

then,

that avatar,

which we know as a human personality

would be said to have attained a level of self-awareness

that is genius:

genius is when, in fact, a human entity represents

a successful experiment

a successful combining

of the disparate parts

of the pieces of a mirror

that was intended to have the power

to mirror the Almighty.

If you take that the next step then,

what is Love?

Love is the capacity for one human being

who has found a sincere balance 

between the elements he/she is channeling

to absolutely forgive, desire, and respect

another individual who has done the same.

Perfect Love

is when each individual is capable of looking beyond

terrific differences

anyway --

I am channeling at least three personalities,

and one of them is most definitely

Makropoulos --

at least one other

loves the idea of Makropoulos

and wants to play along,

and another does too

but she's the personality

who, to date, has always 

been a Company Girl.

There might be

another one in there,

and I think she's a slut.

The thing is:

the other three are so

darned strong,
and

we're working so hard
at just getting
along.

Three In One

1.

(from rtjones  - nice blog )

The human being, is in essence

the representation of the three of God's most ineffable,

most unmanifestable

aspects

Our bodies, don't forget, are just really the vehicles

that those three aspects live in

while living on 

planet earth.  

At the time of Creation

(the First Fall)

it was found

by the Almighty

slightly by accident

that he could better represent himself

in his constituent parts

than he could as a whole

because

to represent himself as a whole

would be to represent

the Everything

Twice

and that's just impossible.

Because Everything Cannot Be doubled.  

So the only way he could create

the Everything

was to create the Nothing

because

the Everything and the Nothing

contain the same things

at the same time.

Because in order for their to be

No Thing

You have to know the

Every Thing

2.

It's the place of the double negative,

the place of the palindrome:

The place where the left and the right meet

Where the mirror image meets

that which is reflected.

We look up into space, and we see No Thing

Because during the time we occupy our bodies

we contain Every Thing;

when we move to the realm of the everything

these bodies are nothing.

It's funny:

we think our soul mates

are people just like us;

when in fact it makes the most sense

for a soul mate to be a mirror

opposite.

(2a. - read through 3, read 2a, then return to 2a;

read through 2, 2a, and 3 and then whatever. . . )

3.

Let me please get back to the point I began with:

every individual human

embodies

the three most ineffible aspects of God,

and remember, as I said

a couple days ago,

the reason our bodies are so damned beautiful

is because

he loves these aspects of himself

the most.

We are the most sacred, because we are the closest to No Thing

The three most unrepresentable aspect of God

that we are obliged

to contain within us

are imitated within each on of us -

in our personalities.

They are:

God the Creator

God the Father or Ruler

God the Child

Thus, each one of us has at least these three aspects

of our personalities.

2a.

And wouldn't it be interesting

if our soul mate shared one 

essential aspect - the Child -

but was the exact opposite 

of OurSelves in one or two

of our other aspect??????

Then, when we meet back

in heaven, for lack of a

better word, we know we

would be everything.

EVERYTHING

both the positive & the negative;

we would be perfect.

A soul that has reached the end of its human path,

in terms of reincarnation, is generally a very lonely

soul, because they have reached a point in their 

evolution where they know the biggest challenge they

could give to themselves on this earthly plan

would be to make their earthly double

their exact opposite,

with one

qualification:

they would

share the

same Child,

because

the child

is the essence of our earthly, heavenly being.

4. 

I was talking to my sister tonight.

She was telling me about her old

childhood friend, who I'll simply call

OldFriend.  OldFriend was always a bit

of a rebel. She ran away from home

at 16; left home for Alaska at 19 or so.

I don't know middle years, because

my sister lost contact.  Somewhere in

there, OldFriend met a man (Oh, I should

mention, OldFriend was always a knock-out;

her voluptuous body always made me shudder

and feel inadequate.  But OldFriend had troubles

with men, as we all do.  Anyway, OldFriend met

a man, a foreign man.  She married him;

they produced three daughters, with the help

of a test-tube. OldFriend lives with the man, her 

husband and the father of her three daughters who look

nothing alike, sometimes.  Other times, she's running.

Away from something, towards something; who knows.

She bring her girls with her,  Right now they're doing it

in an RV.  OldFriend showed up at my sister's house; the 

girls are now around 14, and they've been home-schooled for

the past 4-5 years.  Clueless.  (so sis says)  And angry; they

all wear their hair really short and don't bathe much.  One of them seemed to really

like my sister, and smiled and was kind to her.  And thanked

her for lunch, for a walk, for hospitality.  The other two refused

all kindness.  They did not speak or look at her.  Of the three, one is more 

mannish; one has a few learning disabilities (she's the one who

liked my sister); one is I-Don't-Remember-What, but she was

different. As sister told me about them, and their stand-offish

yet happy-to-see-you mother, I said, "her daughters are the three

primary aspects of OldFriend, and only one of them likes you."

Sister laughed, because she knew I was right.  There was a a part of

OldFriend who always liked being with my fussy sister, but most of the time,

OldFriend didn't want to have much to do with her.  I remember that from our

childhood.

Using my equation from above, about how each of us are imitating the three most

ineffable aspects of God in ourselves, one might venture to guess that 

OldFriend's three personalities, embodied so fully in her daughters

are the Father, which is a wanderlust, the Creator, who may be the girl who likes 

my sister, and the Child is the other, who 

my sister said was the nasty girl.  But the girl who likes 

my sister may also be the Child, because my sister is an Eternal Child.

We each have these Three Aspects, 

but in some of us, one of the aspects

is more pronounced than the other. 

We all have an element of the Father,

the ruler; we all have an element of

the Creator; we all have an element

of the Child.

To find someone who is completely compatible is so difficult,

because a completely compatible person has to be compatible

in all three of these areas.  We can have friends,

like my sister and OldFriend, who we like to see some

of the time, but we'd rather not see Most of the Time,

because two out of three of their essential aspects

are different from our own.

The core of all of these three aspects, for each human,

is the Child, because we are all

children of God at our core.

We are born perfect, and it is society

that fashions the Father aspect in all of us

--

this is called the process of socialization

(by the way, that comes right after the mirror stage)

--

The Father aspect in us is what Freud called 

The SuperEgo, that element of the tripartite

personality that enforces and controls the other two

more primordial urges.  The SuperEgo

makes us able to "pass" in society.

Psychologically, we gained the Super-Ego

when we ate that damned apple. The

SuperEgo, that Third Part of our

personality that God didn't want

us to have was the part that made

us the Maker of Laws;

(For the Disciple John who was giving us

his version of the New Testament, the Testament

inspired by the word of Jesus,

In the beginning was the Word

That Gospel should go first;

because it is the most accurate.

That Gospel readjusts the time frame we

use when reading the story; 

the beginning

of the New Testament should acknowledge

that after the fall of man,  a new time began,

and it was a time in which hu-mans had the capacity

to make their own laws.

The beginning of time as we know it, 

began when Hu-mans

were expelled from the Garden

For

Before that, 

we were

Creator

and Child --

yes,

we imitated the

Creator who is God

but we were all

his children

We were not him.

If we can find our inner child,

we will also find our creative spirit

at the same time, because those two aspects

are at the core of our being.  

As long as we have bodies, though,

the best way to live in society

is as a responsible child,

a child who recognizes that as long as we live

in this World After the Fall,

we have to also follow some rules.

When all humans begin to see that

perhaps we'll start on our path

back to the garden.

(I have to end this with this funny word list link,

because they made me think of palindromes

The Fall before the Fall, According to Makropoulos

1.

(from QueenofDenial )

So.

I was going to write more about

america,

and instead I found myself back on the topic of Creation, Re-Creation, and the Fall.

I realized tonight that what humans gained or lost

at the Fall 

had as much to do with the emotions

and the soul

as it did with the mind.

This is all because there was a Fall before the Fall.

(Hold tight now, this is a bit of an

intellectual roller coaster that's coming up,

and it would help to read earlier entries

on the Fall

at some point)

2.

There was a Fall before the Fall

(from: curitiba-brazil )

 It was, fundamentally, the result of God's little

Mirror Stage

;

it was the stage at which God held up a mirror

so God could see Godself.

The pure mirror that he held up

had no conscience

no sense of self;

the mirror needed God

to show it how to shine well enough

that it would succeed in reflecting

to God

his face.

The problem is:

the mirror broke,

because nothing could sustain

the power of the face of God

Nothing - not even the mirror that he produced for the purpose of reflecting himself - could be that great

because no-one-thing

can be the equivalent of God

 The mirror broke into a million shimmering pieces;

it broke into the various elements

that we now call

the heavens and the earth.

And each sparkling aspect 

of that broken mirror functioned

- in the garden -

to reflect some aspect

of the face of God back to him.

curiously,

it was easier for the Parts of the Mirror

to reflect the entirety of God

than it was for the Whole.

In essence, the parts had a capacity that was greater than the whole,

when it came to the divine mirror.

3.

(this is not the first time I've used this image.  Its source

can be found at the time of its original use.) 

. . . . And God love those pieces of the mirror that composed the garden,

those various features that we know as earth.

But he loved that one feature called

"hu-man"

the most because the

hu-man

represents the mind and soul of God --

the massive Mind of God --

shattered in pieces.

That's what we're here for:

to be the Mind of God

in a landscape where all our 

fellow

living things

reflect other aspect of his being.

Our bodies, then, are just avatars,

the sole function of which

is to give an earthly home

for our minds:

as Hamlet said:

our bodies are machines

The problem with hu-manity is this,

in a nutshell:

Adam and Eve ate the apple

and

Adam and Eve saw their bodies,

and realized their bodies

were the most

beautiful creatures

in the garden

(from lebanonart )

You may be wondering why God
would want to house his Perfect, Eternal Mind
in such Hot Bodies?

Well, hello:
it's because He thought his Mind was
his hottest feature,
so he opted to house that
aspect of himself
in the hottest apparatus he could devise.

So, even if we're not Everything,
hu-mans happen to be
the part of Everything
that
Everything thought
was his sexiest part.


4.
In other words
:
God has many parts
and they all serve different functions,
like the parts of any given body
serves different functions.

If the shattered, shimmering image of God's body
is made visual in the natural world, then
say, for instance,
a pig represents a particular
function in the body of God,
and so does a tree.  Even
a flea reflects some aspect of God
truly.
God is mostly the thing
that we see as water - a glorious velvety substance,
and when you put the sun to it,
you produce
a mirror.

(thus, to drink water is the ultimate communion)


5.
But, back to the glimmering 
parts of the mirror which are
required to reflect back to God
Himself:
and Hu-mans 
are the parts that reflect the mind and the soul,
those insubstantial elements that house
love -- the beating heart of God.


Yes, it is our job as humans
to represent the unrepresentable;
we are the vanishing point,
the site of the palindrome:


containing the mind
in a fragile, beautiful vessel
called a body.

(also from lebanonart )


And God loves his mind
so much
that he made these fragile vessels 
in the likeness of himself:


each one of our bodies contains
an imitation of
every aspect of the universe
(think humours from medieval times: they weren't so far off the mark)
and he packaged all those elements with German precision,
into a beautiful, well designed fleshy vehicle
of two types - male & female,
so our vehicles could keep the mind alive


Before the Fall, Adam and Eve didn't care one iota about their bodies,
because they were too busy
being the Mind of God.


They really didn't care if anything happened to their bodies
because they knew their bodies
were just vessels designed
to contain
the Mind of God.


When they ate that apple,
they saw those bodies, 
which are actually designed a bit like a Porsche,
and they got a little
distracted.


They lost their minds.


*


Unfortunately, if humans 
get a little too obsessed 
with their bodies,
to the point where they
lose their minds,
they lose their fundamental reason
for being on earth.


So honestly, why would earth want to keep humans around?


The earth is capable of producing 
another form capable of containing
mind and soul;
perhaps humans have even done it for the earth:
the internet,
that technology that was developed
to imitate and extend
the mind.


Everything on it has the power to endure . . . . 

An Abuser is. . .

1.
An abuser is a one who has been abused.
It is a one who has been held in violent positions
and had violent things done to them.
.  .  . . .things that tore away at the very core of their being.

And if the core of the abuser's being is good,
(which most likely it is,
because all humans are essentially
good)
So if the core of their being is good,
the abuser will hide the abuses they commit,
because they understand
what goodness truly is.

And sometimes they get angry at goodness, and want to do
horrible things to it
because the abuser's good core has been abused
and he wants everyone to be as bad
as he or she
perceive
himself or herself
to be.

That is the logic of an abuser.
It's hard for us to understand
that his intents have
always been good.

Always grounded in the good.

How much an abuser can or will abuse is directly proportionate to how much
the abuser has been abused.

So if the abuser has been damaged
torn to his very core
by the abuse of another,

he doesn't even remember
what goodness is.
He has to imitate it
and hope
he gets it right.


2
After living as many centuries as I have,
I know this well,
for I am a woman.  And
most women
spend a large portion of their lives
involved
with abusers.  Abusers masquerading as men
and scared to death that someone will find out

that 
they were abused.
Because to be abused is to NOT be treated as
human.
To be abused is to NOT
be treated as equal.
To be abused is
NOT
to be treated
as an equal part,
NOT
to be treated
at all
but rather to be insulted
to be ignored
to be
or perhaps
not to be

That is what it is
to be abused.

And only someone who has had that script
committed to their bodies,
committed to their brains
could in turn abuse with such intensity,
could abuse so much
that they would like to kill.
For killing is the response
to the ultimate abuse.
In other words:
if one has been
so abused
that they wanted to die
they will abuse til
their victim wants to die
or until
they are
dead.

3.
So think of it this way
like a palindrome,
and our bodies
are the template
for our thoughts
and our souls.

And the actions
that are performed
on our bodies
are the actions that
are inscribed onto our souls

which are the vessels of thought.
Thought is the matter that is produced
when the body and the soul
intersect.

Thoughts guide our bodies.



Now this is a huge logical chain that you really have to be following with me.
The way I'm writing this is so
antithetical to the way
a person should write on the internet. 

So if you've been with me this long
and you still understand, I wonder
 if that means you would say I'm smart

Or am I crazy?  Am I walking so close to the edges
of my brain that I've produced another reality
completely?  Isn't that what it is,
to be crazy?  To live so fully in another
reality, that you don't realize any more that
it isn't real?

Is that crazy?

It's kind of strange because I see another palindrome
in that too.   And this one is pushing outwards
because the brain has two sides, you see.
And at the center of the brain
is a thin shimmering line
that is a mirror.

A mirror is a technology
(and an old one at that)
that imitates the mirror in
our minds.

at the center of our minds
is a primoridal mirror
that helps
us witness
the continual repetition
of god's initial encounter
with god's self. 
or rather, it helps
us witness
the continual repetition
of the initial encounter between
God's two halves.

And it will keep functioning that way
until we recognize that
that is in fact
what we are supposed to be doing.

At the fall of man
we were torn asunder.

Our downfall was that we wanted
to see ourselves.

Our reparation comes when we recognize
that this is true.

Let me tell you the story
of the Fall of Man,
according to Makropoulos:

(that by the way, is the blog entry that precedes this one, and I beg you to refer to it to maybe even help you understand this one.)

When God saw himself, we saw the physical form of
the woman, which is by far the more beautiful
half of humanity, because she has the responsibility
of imitating god
she has the responsibility of
imitating
the creator
she is the face
 of the creator

woman is the creative force

the ALL

that you see and desire to see;

the man IS the mirror,

the one with

the capacity to reflect

half of

God.


In addition

. . . . the man is also

The Other Half

of God,

the element he produced so

He could

reproduce himself.


This is not to put down

men

or mirrors,


but rather it is to make it clear that

the male half

has a few different functions:

it helps the female half

see how extraordinarily beautiful

she

that is . . . the beautiful thing that is God

is. 



But also,
since god is imperfect as long as she is divided
and looking at herself,
it was most efficient to produce a mirroring device
that had two functions.


God does, after all, have a little German in him; she is quite economical in design concepts.

So the mirror also had the physical capacity to reproduce the disparate body that was once

the double of God,

until the two of them figured out

what the hell is going on.

Why are you over there

and me over here?

And why am I

a woman?

why am I

Makropolous,

why was I

chosen


to live


this



long



?



Because I have to tell this tale.
