The Fall is the Absurd – Gold Traded for Lead - (270)

The Precious for the Worthless

If we analyse any type of spiritual, ethical, moral or psychological fall we see this very common theme: that of giving up the precious for the worthless and what’s more the worthless that brings us bitterness.


It is as if when we fall we trade precious gold for worthless heavy, burdensome lead.



Association with Lower Levels of Being

Something else that is very characteristic to the fall is that before eh fall there is an association with people of a lower level of Being. The association is partial but when the fall is complete the association becomes full and painful, before the fall it was not so painful. It would be better if it were then people probably would not fall.


Conclusion

This seems to be a very common tend or characteristic of any fall, , especially with the ego we always give up reality, life, clarity, consciousness, peace, intelligence for the bitterness, blindness and inferior emotions of the ego.

End (270).
