Strange are those of bones and blood, and strange their hearts and minds follow the idle path of little time and call it great - at least once in a while.
They need a year to walk, 2 yeasr to speak, 25 years to think, and it is not enough a life time making them wise. They sail an proud ships through waters of challenge and waste, nutshells on much to big oceans, thirsty waters of softness but hard in taking lifes, and the human cries and keeps on struggeling and challenging and sailing. And often he does lose his soul entering the realm of forgetting where he finds himself exposed to time that runs fast and appears as enemy.
Humans are doomed to forget and to run and to die, and they bear inside almost nothing worth to remember. And they fade away long before they disappear, and they spit on their boats having become nasty with torn up sails, and they feel a mighty rage inside, for they have hated long periods in their life and felt a loss of something they refused to understand.
And God loves them anyway and wanted them as vessels to live in in in order to experience himself in manyfold kinds and levels and times and conditions. God must love the broken and dark depths, he must be obsessed in searching for light and in shadow land. The clearest climax of conscience must be a haunting shadow being acknowledged as presence of light...
It is the chill of darkness that can force to look for warm sun rays and a fire place where all eyes can rest. The human becomes calm and can feel peace. Then he is sharing his bread and wine, and his stories being told are from heroes and adventures and beasts of the big sea.
And then he gets courage and feels like a king. He has left the land of forgetting for a while, but forgetting goes deep. It makes humans angry once in a while because they have forgotten, and someone must be guilty. It takes only a short time their "Hosannah!" is changing to "Crucify him!". Forgetting and rage makes the friend from the fire place an enemy. Humans can deeply love but also kill someone. Rage and anger are distorted forms of love...
The battle of evermore is often reloaded. This makes the Led Zeppelin song so interesting. Many see in the lyrics a reference to Tolkin`s "Lord of the rings", which is good to understand. And there are biblical references as well. The song is on a drama humans have always part. Humans are doomed to be drama entities, for drama is the battle of antagonisms and thus expression of duality.
It is not duality being a real treat. It is rather the belief of overcoming duality which is quite impossible. By trying to overcome it, there appears the real threat, for then humans have chosen to deny duality. And each real thing a human is about to deny becomes a demon which will knock on the door one day. And such demon is coming as a threat.
Transcending duality is something different than overcoming, it allows it`s existence by letting it flow and go. Duality is real in a sense that is is God`s ways to let antagonisms engage and struggle. Deep in the ground of being all is one, but dualism is the way of experiencing it. It belongs to the game and can not be missed. It is supposed to be a constant obstacle to humans...
And similar is transcending anger. It will not work simply overcoming it - it is impossible and not necessary. But transcending it is a way of letting duality work. The man forcing anger is not an enemy, but a tool of duality - he challenges to look deeper and to let finally go.
