Things in here seem to have itself passed into Otherworld, so lets get things going again since this is a topic close to my conscience all the time... Can anybody tell me where the following prose comes from and possibly when (more or less) it was written? I died as mineral and became a plant, I died as plant and rose to animal, I died as an animal and I was man. Why should I fear? When was I ever less by dying? Yet once more I shall die as man, to soar In the blessed Realm; but even from godhood I must pass on... Also, there seem to be some sort of symbol which illustrates above...? What is it?
