chuuni is what im going for.... commentary on the stagnation of exoteric theology ig.

The firsts sages spoke thus,
with gesture and metaphor, symbol and allegory,
guidance and trepidation, knowledge and embodiment.
They spoke of their worldly matters, illuminated, full of revelation and insight.
So then their disciples spoke thus,
plunged into the depths of the world by the sages,
having received a transmission, of the illuminated world before them
exalted the great masters and their teachings thus.
So that the first priests then spoke thus,
having bore witness to the miracles of the great masters,
seeking their wisdom, they turned to their disciples, and exalted them thus:
"O ye wise sages, taught by wiser sages, deliver unto us wisdom beyond us".
And by this, looked to the sages for wisdom,
rather than the understanding of worldly illumination,
transcribing and studying their words with ardour and rigour,
fanatically shaven, their flesh laid bear to the heavens thus.
So then, the next priests spoke thus,
"Wise and blessed men, we heed thy words, thy teaching, thy doctrine".
"By it's dogma we shall live, it's illuminated nature unquestionable."
"Oh men, blessed by the wisdom of the heavens toward which you face."
And the people, having witnessed the faith of generations, fell into their own faith.
So then, the last priests spoke thus,
"The subtle and sublime sacred truths are hard to understand."
"Only through great prayer, devotion, and sacrifice might they be approached."
And the people, having witnessed the faith of generations, questioned the priests not.
The priests now became our clergy, masters and teachers of a withdrawn order,
beyond the life of the lay, beyond the comprehension
of the truths once lived by the first sages.
No longer understood their doctrine, and awaited their messiah thus.
In turn, messiah came and spoke thus,
"Seek not your scriptures, burn them as if they were impure tinder".
And the messiah was reviled by the people, and by the clergy,
to be cast away as a blasphemer, touched by deviltry.
And the clergy in turn, appointed a proper divine emissary,
and by his flesh he would bring decrees from heaven down into the world,
so that living scriptures might return to the world,
in countless revisions and curations,
talmuds, gospels, and sutras,
yet drafted forth by the isolated and detached,
they filled with faraway spirit and delusion thus.
Now before us are the preachers, speaking thus,
of madness and damnation, of heavens and salvation.
They have lost themselves in another world, and through them,
the ashes of a once illuminating fire, are smeared in the eyes of the lay,
in the eyes of the next preachers to speak thus.
