The Three Materials

The Three Materials 
of which reality is creation, 
are the Intelligence - as distinct 
from the Mind and Heart, the 
human Heart and Mind, and 

the human being, together with all 
gross appurtenances of spacetime, 
mere material and accident,
evanescent, transcendent
energies of the type 
catalogued elsewhere - you,
too, fall within this class. 

It was to begin with that these 
things, the Three Materials 
operated on each other, and 
finally we began to see clearly 

the relation between them. All
Three, revealed to us spurling 
out between us like a bet, or 
a dare - one you can't lose 

without winning some auxiliary 
prize. For what are the glories 
of philosophy? What the austere 
caprices and triumphs of science? 
Which are the arts and which 
the humanities? Truly, we 

do not know.

Focus on the Three Materials.
These at least are sure. Sure, 
and everlasting. Sure.
