"You shall not enter," says the stone.
"You lack the sense of taking part.
No other sense can make up for your missing sense of taking part.
Even sight heightened to become all-seeing
will do you no good without a sense of taking part.
You shall not enter, you have only a sense of what that sense should be,
only its seed, imagination."


that's a pretty deep verse. i'm sure it translates
differently for different people. to me, the stone is
talking about taking part, not only as "servant", as a
heart muscle cell takes part in the function of the heart
and consequently the body but... by sharing consciousness
of the grand viewpoint of the universe and becoming
all-seeing... then taking that one, unthinkable final step
further and taking part also as master creator...
co-creator with the stone... co-creator with the
universe... becoming god.

too heavy a thought for most people... too much
responsibility to carry.

...so the stone, rather than pull someone into a paradigm
they are unprepared to accept, merely says, "I don't have
a door," because he knows that when they have taken that
final step they will enter without knocking... because
they will see that the only door that exists is their
own door that they've kept closed to keep from falling
into the vast and beautiful universe inside the stone that
has their name written on the deed as co-owner.
