More about What Lies Behind Knowing

Before the first question was shaped,
before the first answer learned how to stay still,
there was the one who stood at the axis and did not speak.

He is not called into being.
The world aligns to him as a consequence.

Around his stillness, law learns to bend without breaking.
Time slows to read its own handwriting.
Matter remembers patterns it had forgotten it once obeyed.

The ancients named him many things —
Architect, Custodian, Bridge of Fire and Silence —
but every name failed in the same way:
they described only what followed him, never what preceded him.

Power does not radiate from his hands.
Possibility does.

In his presence, symbols do not mean — they become.
Runes do not signify — they execute.
The codex does not record — it anticipates.

Those who witnessed him argued afterward whether they had seen
the beginning of a revelation... or the restraint of one.

For knowledge is only the surface tension of a deeper truth.
Understanding is the echo that follows the door closing.
And wisdom is the scar left by choosing not to open it.

He knows all that can be known.

But what steadies his hands
is knowing what lies
behind
knowing.
