tractatus 2

With regards to virtue, one must turn from the Beloved to the Theophile. In the absence of the Beloved, one finds mankind to be the Divinity among the beasts. One must serve the Revelation of the Beloved, but, when the Beloved shrouds himself for deception or for roth, those who once sought the Divinity are to turn towards the Testimony. In the absence of the eldest, fatherhood falls to the next; succeeding the bruise of the sunset, one lives by the light of the crescent. Without the Beloved, the race of Man resorts to himself.
