Descent into flesh, the prison of being, God, Faust, marriage of the soul, and dream

***

I recognized, out of the bright red generative non-occurrence, the descent into flesh, in which by recognizing being, I caused myself and others to exist.

I am the prison of being.

God is life not being what it never was.

Am I not Faust, the sequel? To be tempted by the devil is the first step for man, to tempt god is the next.

How would you describe a dream to someone who never has slept? How would you talk of life to someone who never has lived?

A group of self-exiled wonderers found, washed up on their beach, the survivor of a shipwreck. When he was revived they discovered that he was from 'The tribe who knew the names of things.', so they killed him.

The marriage of the soul occurs by one's descent into the flesh, and one's concurrent ascent into heaven. A person must proceed in both directions.

I have idiosyncratically witnessed the event of being.

Every individual is the most intelligent person on earth, as long as they have the strength to believe in their own vision, and the strength, if necessary, to disbelieve it.
