Book 2 – The Dreaming

5   The First Mystery

1I am mystery. Mystery is I.
2I am the all and the one.
3I am the unique and the collective.
4I am the is and the is-not.
5I am mortal and immortal.
6I am life and spirit.
7I am existence and non-existence.
8I am the mystery.
9As the ancestors did teach with dreaming,
10A man who rejects mystery, rejects his own being.
11The dreaming is one and is many.
12The deepest mystery is the mystery of itself.
13Mystery is Awareness. Awareness is Mystery.
14Dreaming is Existence. Existence is Dreaming.
152 live, 1 dies. 1 dies to live.
16In order to live, one must die and be reborn a little each day.
17In order to be, one must accept constant change.
18Mystery is Life. Life is Mystery.
19To be spirit and animal in one form,
20No greater example of mystery is this.
21A man who fights the mystery and riddle of dreaming, fights himself.
