Quotes By Gvann

When one stone is set upon another, there I will dwell among you.

My children, it is only that which is absent which must be sought.

If any man doubt these words, let him sit for an hour in the presence of the One and then let him speak again, for no speech shall stand in the face of it.

And they asked Gyvann: Are there other paths? And he said: Yes. And they said: Gyvann, then, why shall we not take other paths? And he said: My children, shall not the road be winding? And they asked one another: What does this mean? And he said: Those who ask "what does this mean" show themselves to be fools. They should ask, rather, what road do I walk? And they were silent.

For does not the Cube show us the way in building, and was not Gyvann himself a builder and shall we not then build? Let us, therefore, build. And they built a great fortress, yet by the power of the Cube it was toppled to the ground, and they built a mighty tower, yet by the power of the Cube it was utterly removed, thus they built a lowly shack and it was good.

And he said: reject, my children, those who call you to destroy, for only in the cube lies the power of destruction. And they asked: does not every man die in his season? And he said: only with the Cube's will.

And he said: take not my words as sacred, for in the Cube alone lies the power and each man must seek it for himself. And in this he showed himself to be the most humble of men, may his name be praised forever.

And Gyvann said doubt not that the cube speaks or that its voice is heard --From the green Leitmark
