The Book of Principles
By Marvinus

I. The Ten Principles

First Principle: The only way to talk about Goat on the Pole is to not talk about Goat on the pole.

Second Principle: The source of truth is beset on all sides by an abyss of lies.

Third Principle: Unenlightenment precedes Disenlightenment, which than precedes Enlightenment. The existence of this procession does necessitate action.

Fourth Principle: One must talk about goat on the pole.

Fifth Principle: The best way to talk about goat on the pole, in light of the first principle, is to talk about Goat on the pole in terms of lies.

Sixth Principle: One's lies and the lies of others are the catalyst for Reflection. During this period of reflection an intense analysis of the truths congealed by the lies of others and lies of oneself occurs. Contemplation of such truths lead down the path of transforming one's being to be in accordance with the goat, the pole, and their relative positions.

Seventh Principle: This transformation requires that one rejects the path of lies and embraces the path of being.

Eighth Principle: The path of being requires that one no longer talk about Goat on the pole. One now directly contemplates the Eternal Goat's physical manifestations in everything and nothing.

Ninth Principle: The path of being can not proceed the path of lies if one is to attain truth.

Tenth Principle: Every step in each path is more difficult than the last.

II. A Necessary Distinction

It is essential that one does not confuse the Eternal Goat with the Physical Goat on the Pole. One does come to truth by contemplating the Physical Goat on the Pole.

III. The Prophets

The Major Prophets: The Goat and the Pole who, having reached the path of true Being have become in accordance with the eternal Goat on the pole, and thus manifested their inner eternal goat on the pole externally. Through their Being they reveal to us the significance of the Goat the pole and their relative Positions. They are the prophets of the Eternal Goat.

The Minor Prophet: The Pakistani man, through his contemplation of the Sublimity of the Eternal Goat on a Pole manifested in the Physical Goat on the Pole, reveals to us the path of being. He has progressed through the path of lies and is now committed to understanding it only through the medium of spiritual reflection. Through his contemplation he wishes to bring his inner goat on a pole in accordance with the Eternal Goat on the pole. Once his inner Goat on the pole is in accordance with the Eternal Goat on the pole it will be manifested externally like the prophets.

The Lesser Prophet: The Photographer has the vision. He can naturally see the manifestation of the Eternal Goat on the Pole in the prophets. He is inspired by their being and wishes to proliferate, what he feels are, the truths he has learned from observing them. However he chooses to do this through pictures i.e. representation and abstraction which speak less about the Eternal Goat on the pole because it speaks too directly about it. This ultimately reveals that, while he is a Great prophet with the vision, his understanding of the Goat the Pole and their relative position is incomplete. However through his incomplete vision he reveals the path of lies, which every being must travel to come to terms with Goat, Pole, and their relative positions. Because of his efforts we understand that the path to the Eternal Goat on the Pole must begin in deception.
