Once upon a time there was an unassuming man who discovered some
extraordinary ideas.
He wrote about his ideas and many felt them to be of importance to an ailing
world. Many were those who drew together from all over the globe to discuss
and explore his ideas further, for they could see here was something
available to everyone, something clear and illuminating without any pretence
to the esoteric, freely given and openly stated.
But there was one who was watching...
The other had also wrote of ideas, but these ideas were not his own, they
were the fruits of others work. The other gathered much of what had been said
before him and called it his own and was thus regarded as knowledgeable by
some, and esoteric by others. His language was difficult to penetrate and
long on new words. His name was mediated and travelled far into many tongues.
Soon, all would know who's head the razor boy belonged to.
But there was something missing?
Something more to be prized for his own above all he had been garnered
before.
Silently and in hidden anticipation, the other watched and waited for the
first to die - it would not be long. Then, he would sneak like a thief in the
night, not before! and silently appropriate for his own ends that which he
could never truly claim as his own. But with the help of his accomplice, he
would have his prize...
