The Decree of EGO (part 1)
Thousands of years ago, the first man discovered how to make fire. he was probably burned at the steak he had taught his brothers how to build. He was considered an evildoer who had dealt with a demon mankind dreaded. But thereafter men had fire to keep them warm, to light their homes, to cook their food. He had left them a gift they had not conceived and Lifted Darkness off the earth.
Centuries later, the first man invented the wheel. He was probably torn at the rack he had taught his brothers how to build. He was considered a transgressor who ventured into forbidden territory. But thereafter, men could travel past any horizon. He had left them a gift they had not conceived and opened the roads of the world.
That man, the un-submissive and the first stands at the opening of every legend mankind has ever recorded about it's beginning.
Prometheus was chained to a rock and torn by vultures - because he had stolen the fire of the gods. Adam was condemned to suffer - because he had eaten the fruit from the tree of knowledge.
Whatever the legend, somewhere in the shadows of it's memory, mankind knew that it's glory began with one, and that one paid for his courage.
Throughout centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own VISION. Their goals differed but they all had this in common : that their step was was first, their vision UN-borrowed, and the response they received - Hatred.
The great creators - the thinkers, the scientists, the philosophers, the inventors - stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every new invention was denounced.
The first motor was considered foolish. The power-loom was considered vicious. The airplane was considered impossible. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of un-borrowed vision went ahead.
They Fought, They Suffered, They Paid. BUT THEY WON.
No Creator was ever prompted by a desire to serve his brothers, for his brothers had rejected the gift he offered, and that gift destroyed the slothful routine of their lives.
His truth was his only motive. His own truth, and his own work to achieve it in his own way. A symphony, a book,a philosophy, an engine, or an airplane or a building - that was his goal and his life. NOT those who heard, who read, believed, operated, flew or inhabited the thing he had created. The creation, not it's users. The creation, not the benefits others derived from it.
The Creation that gave form to his truth. He held that truth Above All Things and Against All Men.
