The Time Before Shape

The Maelstrom Of Primaeval Reality
Era beginning/end

Darkness there was at first, by darkness hidden; Without distinctive marks, this all was water; That which, becoming, by the void was covered; That One by force of heat came into being. Who really knows? Who will here proclaim it? Whence was it produced? Whence is this creation? Gods came afterwards, with the creation of this universe. Who then knows whence it has arisen? Whether God's will created it, or whether He was mute. Perhaps it formed itself, or perhaps it did not. Only He who is its overseer in highest heaven knows, Only He knows, or perhaps He does not know. — Nasadiya Sukta, Rigveda 10:129-6

I am the Queen, the gatherer-up of treasures, most thoughtful, first of those who merit worship. Thus gods have established me in many places with many homes to enter and abide in. Through me alone all eat the food that feeds them, – each man who sees, breathes, hears the word outspoken. They know it not, yet I reside in the essence of the Universe. Hear, one and all, the truth as I declare it. I, verily, myself announce and utter the word that gods and men alike shall welcome. I make the man I love exceedingly mighty, make him nourished, a sage, and one who knows Brahman. I bend the bow for Rudra, that his arrow may strike, and slay the hater of devotion. I rouse and order battle for the people, I created Earth and Heaven and reside as their Inner Controller. On the world's summit I bring forth sky the Father: my home is in the waters, in the ocean as Mother. Thence I pervade all existing creatures, as their Inner Supreme Self, and manifest them with my body. I created all worlds at my will, without any higher being, and permeate and dwell within them. The eternal and infinite consciousness is I, it is my greatness dwelling in everything. — Devi Sukta, Rigveda 10.125.3 – 10.125.8

Extinction

As long as there is attachment to things that are unstable, unreliable, changing and impermanent, there will be suffering – when they change, when they cease to be what we want them to be. (...) If craving is the cause of suffering, then the cessation of suffering will surely follow from the complete fading away and ceasing of that very craving: its abandoning, relinquishing, releasing, letting go. — Rupert Gethin, On The Four Noble Truths

The humes ever skew hist'ry's weave. With haste they move through too short lives. Driven to err by base desires, t'ward waste and wasting on they run. Undying, we light the path for the wayward sons of Man. Oft did we pass judg'ment on them so that [the world] might endure. Eternal, we are hist'ry's stewards, to set the course and keep it true. The chosen is our hand, our fist, to let live some and crush the rest. – Gerun, FFXII part 37

Now as a man is like this or like that, According as he acts and according as he behaves, so will he be; A man of good acts will become good, a man of bad acts, bad; He becomes pure by pure deeds, bad by bad deeds; And here they say that a person consists of desires, And as is his desire, so is his will; And as is his will, so is his deed; And whatever deed he does, that he will reap. — Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, 7th Century BCE

Any technological advance can be dangerous. Fire was dangerous from the start, and so (even more so) was speech―and both are still dangerous to this day―but human beings would not be human without them. ―Isaac Asimov

When the serpent breathed the poison of his pride, the desire to be as God, into the hearts of our first parents, that they too fell from their high estate into all the wretchedness in which man is now sunk. In heaven and earth, pride, self-exaltation, is the gate and the birth, and the curse, of hell. ― Andrew Murray, Humility

Disbandment

My father, behold, the enemy's ships came. My cities were burned, and they did evil in my country. Does not my father know that all of my troops and chariots are in the Hatti and all of my ships ate in the land of Lucca? The country is abandoned to itself. Know, my father, that much damage has been inflicted upon us. — Ammurapi to Alashiya, in the last days of Ugarit
