“We've been through all this before. Indeed," sighed the Name. He suppressed the "With whom?" thought. And promptly said, "With whom?" "With Concepts," said the Name. "Now, Concepts, as they are called, are creatures of Before. They belong to her who is called Greatness. Greatness - indeed, the word does not do justice to the person of Greatness - is quite broad in scope and the Names are too small to describe this person. Concepts were created by Greatness, from a mistake once made by Greatness. The Concepts know this and exploit this fact prodigiously. The Name had a strange look on his face, as if he were concentrating. What are Concepts? The easiest way to talk about it is to consider them alive. Based on a mistake, but alive, because when Greatness makes a mistake... well, you know. The names are names of power. That is, if there is a Name called Talk, then that is all that Name does. The name speaks. Not necessarily verbally, nor excessively, but the name speaks. Now, a Name can be a Concept. However, a Concept is not necessarily a Name, since a Name depends on someone saying something.” “Concepts, being of Greatness, are older than Time. Much much older than Time. Time depends on the sequence and the sequence is as simple as the natural numbers. So Sequence comes before Time, at the same moment that Time became Time. A simpler way to say this is to say that the sequence is greater than the time. Now everyone knows all this, even if only intuitively, because “There is nothing new under the sun”. That, said the Preacher." "But he didn't—" and was suddenly cut off. The thoughts that raced to and from The Name with her were strange, and new and yet very, very old. "Nothing.. . middle of paper... next?" he asked for almost everyone. “Simply because they've been done before, and all you learn from them is your own power in making someone else's love. Make your own. love is really love, and because of the purposelessness of creation, there is no way to make one's own unique and new loves. Furthermore, I have no purpose in creation, because I have learned love from it. So what needs to be done ? We do good and hope that creation passes quickly." “So is creation a place to learn about the loves of others?” “Yes, because you know it is so,” many said in unity. “Creation is for learning the pitfalls of the sensual loves of others, even if the original purpose of the earth is very different,” said the Name. “Original purpose? Be fruitful and multiply! For few find Life,” said the Name. “Why creation? Why did I feel this way,” and The Name sighed.
