No occupation either, but something given And taken, in a lifetime’s death in love, Ardour and selflessness and self surrender. 32 time and time again To reach the timeless, said Plato, you must go up. ” The process is not one-way, but reciprocal. Translated into our metaphor: we must descend into Plato’s cave and then return, creating new worlds on the way up.

It involves a round trip into the primitive temporalities of the mind. He must begin by violating the law of some creator or another and thus be damned to go back into the cave. But remaining there is death. He must turn around and come out into a world that will be different because of the journey he has taken. He must begin as Lot’s wife and return as Galatea.

Prototemporal umwelts were born out of atemporal chaos when some of the light energy began to take particulate form. In our own day, in the atemporal ocean of pure light, we find vast regions of gas and dust.
