Was
written long before the time men rose to their feet. It was the
language of the
Universe, that was left to de discovered. It encompassed the
sense of the Absolute, of the Divinity,
the Pulse of the Universe.
This Absoluteness contained the perishable and
the imperishable, Time and its Absence, for Time
is just an earthly measure.
Light and darkness, the notion of good and that
of evil, of positive and negative energies.
It was a legacy to men to understand and find the
way that lead them to understand what Harmony has always
been, unchanged.
At that time, two sacred smiths existed - a man
and a woman, living one above the Equator and
another below it - to whom were given the secrets of the earth,
of the metals within, and those of the elements.
They were initiated into the rites and alchemic
processes of transforming iron into steel.
All this was done before the waters rose and submerged the
Earth and with it, two swords were forged that were then lost.
These swords were the ancestors of all weapons, and
embodied all the principles.
When the waters rose, the male smith was able to carve
a hole in a tree trunk and inserted the sword wrapped in layers of
foliage and covered the hole with more wood in hope that it would
fluctuate, and so be saved.
The female smith, living in a desert, excavated a hole
in the ground, covered the hole with rocks, placed the sword
inside and covered it with as many stones and rocks as she could.
Then the waters came, covered the entire land, and a big
silence reigned.
A
long time passed. It was never known nor told how long the
earth was submerged. Then the waters began to subside.
Man begun again his journey towards the dawn of knowledge.
The Earth was reborn and strange caves appeared in some
shores.
Everything was new as no one of the descendants of the few
survivors could know what was before. There were no records and
oral tradition was confusing.
However, the North was still where it always has been,
as well as the South, and East and West.
Fire was kept through the Deluge, as well as some very
ancient scattered knowledge.
Time passed, or perhaps Man passed through Time, and
from earlier tribes, more evolved social organization forms
emerged and the Eastern Lands kingdoms were born and
empires rose while the concepts that provided over the origins of
the Universe, the rules of harmony were by then known to
mankind. However, few abided by them.
THE FINDINGS
In the Koto Period, a farmer living in the Island known
as Kyushu, begun to dig a well.
As he dug, he found it very strange that after some 4 feet
deep, the color of the earth changed into a dark coal like color.
He shrugged his shoulders and continued to dig until he hit a
level of stone.
