Creation Quote by Sorin Cerin
“Why, Creator must it all reach man through the lie of Knowledge as long as it is not given so that man knows it? It is precisely because in order to bring to light the vanity of this world that runs towards death once it has been tainted through a sexual act? How much death is there in asexual act that leads to the birth of a new life? In the sexual ct we will find the birth of death that will come with the creation of the being. There is not a being that has no death because everything that exists also dies and everything that dies must have lived in order to die, as mortality has in it as much life as life has death. Where will we find in this world the gate of death if not in the gate of life, in the sexual act, as we will find the gate of life exclusively in death because only in reference to it can life still be itself with its image of destiny included.”
