The Possession of a Witness

                  Todays lesson is on the "Eye of God," that horrible symbol of war. The eye of god is a blind talisman, and a sign of protection against the evil "Eye of Envy." In many of the Old World cultures, looking at someone intently without an introduction is a violation of space. (Don't look at me!)

                  Everything that can be seen is sacred. Don't be afraid to look briefly. (But be afraid of what you may see.) We are all supposedly Children of God under protective custody, whether we believe or not. I could demystify the traditions of "Reading" by extricating the origins of our shared modern science from the "Sins of our Fathers," only to realize that I am now up to my eyeballs in the Symbols of Faith. Not what I wanted. And now you too are a witness to a temporal vision. The reality of life is not convenient or comfortable. My greed for a light of consciousness has made me gross. Bottoms fall out, there is no bottom to hit anymore. The world goes on in a tenuous dream. Feet are flying, the winds howl, truth is not always beautiful, we need each other's help now, to understand why beauty is never in the eye of just beholder alone.

                 So holy are the methods for stopping time, that when that Eye of God opens the world disappears. The dream ends and all The Possessions of the Witness go back into the void from where all emerged. We have all heard the stories before, but do we understand? Close your eyes, shut the doors, the words don't make sense anyways. We can dream tomorrow, that it all will all be over soon anyways. Everything inevitably comes down to, "The Possession of a Witness."
