Ia and the Gate

When Ia stood on the far side of the Gate, he was purified and pristine, unmarred by blights upon his spirit and unburdened by trappings of the flesh, and so he would remain even despite and after treating with others who were mottled, flawed, and weak. The path he had taken now stood closed and barred to return passage, but this did not daunt him.

When Ia met the first traveler along his path, they could not communicate, for Ia did not speak the traveler's language nor did the traveler speak Ia's. So he devised a means of communication and could thereafter pass the message he bore on to this and other travelers, and they understood.

When Ia was set upon by some few with the desire to claim Ia's sole possession for themselves, Ia engaged them and revealed to them the truth which lay well-hidden behind their decision, and they were humbled at its sight.

When Ia set forth to spread his revelations, he could go in no direction but forward, and he was unafraid and unworried, for Ia had long ago purged these and other intrusive emotions. He would not allow mysteries to remain mysteries, nor tolerate possibilities to remain possibilities, nor permit the Wheel to remain stagnant and unchanging.

Cast away all flawed and half-finished burdens and blessings, and shed notions which constrain and constrict, and walk the Wheel freely.
