Through the TImes
372 A.D. the “gods” met in a small church in Amlissa, the former Amlys.
“...but in a time when the rectifiers will have rectified the world itself, the incantation must be brought back – lest the bond be severed.”
“Let us go about the teaching of the chant then:
1. recognise,
2. relate,
3. observe,
4. side.
Having forgone the latter for centuries the meaning of the former will be quite different to them from what it is to us now. The recognition will be a recognition of observable deviations from habitual expectation and the relation will be between those. If we are to re-introduce the human effect into that view of the world, we must first lead the recognition back towards the mind that is stirred by a relevance for it and make the relation again about the explanation of that relevance.”
“We shall indeed. That will not however give them pause, for they'll think they know everything about that relevance in the truncated version of reality they'll inhabit then. No view of the world will ever get a hold on a people that doesn't give them all the answers – just like a child thinks most of affirmation – criticism, for the many, is no more than the leisure after the fact. To break out of the procession they're in, they have to bump into the mysterious. Else, even while being led into oblivion, they'll walk along, thinking that's all there is to see.”
“Very well, but no reason to get ahead of ourselves. The mind asks the questions in whose answers it is interested, because they're part of its role. All expectation flows in this bed, being perturbed only by the inreconcilability of uniform growth with an existence that is reflecting itself. Forms emerge so that other forms can emerge, the expectation returns from forcefulness to fertility. Their blindness lies in the denial of what they expect and the nature of expectation itself. They'll refer to evidence and overlook the seat of defining conviction.”
“God does not betray those who rely on his principles. And a man who finds himself in violation of them convicts himself.”
“Which is why man is cautious not to fall for the sin of claiming ground for his fancies.”
“Quite right, and the more particular someone's thoughts are, the more he will shy away from expecting something in particular, for he feels the generality in all expectation. He will be quite at peace with a set of rules, which he can heed to his advantage. And that is precisely why insight alone cannot turn the masses away from their acquired ways.”
“Cannot he, who made the blind see, also make that this one doesn't die.”
“So we teach the impartial and unhinge the partial, the divine judgment bearing only for the former something to behold. They must realise what they expect and they can be made so by means of the narration. However, in the times that we refer to here the narration will have become a mere shadow of its former self, a checklist without transformatory power. To be reminded of their expectation, they must be called out from the midst of the people, they must find themselves separated by a gulf of understanding, which is to be rooted in the fact that they trust God to guide them. It suffices to make them an offer, an offer to view the world as moribund. For if it is, that will stir their expectation and in the process set them aside in understanding.”
“We shall describe those days – it will do. Once a person has understood that he's his expectations' servant, the recognition and relation will fall into their places and as for the siding: it has already happened. However, like this there will only be observation after the siding, since it is only the siding that awakens the awareness that there is something to observe. And without observation every siding is indiscriminatory in nature, that is to say disruptive. That way, of course, there shall at least be enough palpable mystery for the others, but the situation must be mended, an offer in the offer to view the world as moribund has to be made to view oneself as part of an overarching constructive process, so as to guide the eyes back to that in whose name all growth occurs.”
