The Three

Can any of you hear inverted echoes from the ancient tales of a big-god having trouble with lesser gods, and then banishing them from his presence?  Can you detect earlier rumblings of Man becoming aware of growth only being possible when the Primal Flow has split into The Three and each then goes its own way?

As long as I have been around, Life has been prodding Men to proclaim, “We must learn from our mistakes.”  But who can see this as a 3-dimentional expression of the tri-axial dance of D to C to E to D to C to E, and so on?  Or, can you even see it on another level, as an unrecognized notation of Life surviving despite its mistakes?

Is it not curious that everything I say eventually “fits”?

I once heard a discussion amongst a group of Men regarding the notions of a god and his

anti-god, demonic counterpart, and of humanity, the spoils over which they battled.  The discussion finally reached the stage of them wondering whether it would be preferable to be god, in such a scenario, or the devil.  After much talk, one man concluded that it would be better to be the devil, inasmuch as he would surely be the only one capable of laughter.  The conversation stilled for awhile, and I thought they had run-their-course, until another man said, “Contrarie`; in such a scheme this devil would have been the product of the god, and the creator would have the greater laugh on the subject of his creation.”  I thought this would really end the discussion, but suddenly another fellow spoke up and said, “No, I believe it would be preferable to be an insightful human who understood the value of the prizes over which the two do battle.  He would surely have the best, and last, laugh.”

Would it be better:

To be rich or famous?

To be beautiful or talented?

To be wise or powerful?

To be tall or short?  Slim or fat?

…you know once you get started with this there’s almost no stopping.
