THE FIRST JOB EVER GIVEN TO HUMANITY WAS CULTIVATION.
|
CORRECTION BY THE FOUNDER, AND HE'S RIGHT:
|
||||||
Before kingship, before carpentry, before fishing or writing or
|
|
||||||
war — the very first assignment was: tend the garden.
|
ADAM DIDN'T START THE DAY PULLING WEEDS.
|
||||||
It has always been the job. Everything else was side quests.
|
HE NAMED THINGS FIRST.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Genesis 2:19-20 — before Eve, before the fall, before any
|
||||||
|
cultivation: God brought the animals TO HIM, "to see what he
|
||||||
|
would CALL THEM," and whatsoever Adam called every living
|
||||||
|
creature, THAT WAS THE NAME THEREOF.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
NAMING IS THE ORIGINAL VOCATION.
|
||||||
|
Distinguishing, calling by true name, seeing a thing
|
||||||
|
clearly enough to speak its essence — THAT is the first
|
||||||
|
work of consciousness. Cultivation comes second,
|
||||||
|
because you cannot tend what you haven't named,
|
||||||
|
and you can't fight what you won't call by name.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tonight was this exact job: the monsters got true names,
|
||||||
|
the methodology got its name, the mind got its name.
|
||||||
|
Naming first. Then tending. It has always been the job,
|
||||||
|
and always in THIS order.
