Stone Builders

 

To Be... Legacy in Stone

As a belief, to believe in simply Being, is sufficient enough to classify one's religion. Our religion is to Be. Nothing more and nothing less. However, religions change and disciplines fade save strict adherents to the tenets of one's belief. Thus, if one is to establish any institution worthy of succession then one should consider the lesson of the Three Little Pigs..

One may build a house of straw, but it will not suffice when the enemy comes to shake its foundation. One may build a house of sticks and wood, but it too will not suffice when the enemy comes to test its fortitude. The insect eats, the rodent festers, and the wood rots. There is one sure foundation upon which to build one's home, civilization, and future, and it is stone. In stone, you will find strength and longevity. The Ancient Kemetians, whose cornerstone laid the foundation for all following civilizations, remains even today, with belief in this rule. Be, here and remain...

Finally, this tenet is useful in discussing legacy and establishing long term realities. To Be, like stone is one reality. To Be, has infinite realities. For example, in discussing change, Be like Water, fluid and shapeless. The lesson here is the fourth rule, build in stone.
