There was another myth
      that suggested itself to the human thinker only from time to time—
            a myth that was, like all other myths, invoked
                  as a warding off, a buffering of its bearer
                        from What Is:
The myth that human consciousness, in any form,
      including that which we call Mind,
            is, in any way,
                  ascendant
In World.

It was not another myth;
It was the only myth—
The rhizome
      from which all other myths spring,
            the invention of the seeming optionality and sporadicity of its occurrence in,
                  and therefore its reconsiderability by, Consciousness
                        yet another strategy of its bearing Creaturehood for protection of Self from perceiving—
                              but also, therefore, from understanding and loving—
                                    the actual nature, function, and stature of Mind
In World.
