One Tethered by Both

The practical n' mystical squabbled.

Each thought humans had to choose.

Each sought to be the dominant one;

Humanity's main inner guiding voice.

The mystical claimed, "Highest logic!"

The practical claimed, "Real results."

Around n' round they dizzily spun;

Gathered followers, bolstered ranks.

Till one tethered by both arrived;

Blending the two streams as one.

He discovered their shared soul.

He found it behind "highest logic".

What lay beyond its mountains?

A meta mystical terrain of prelogic.

The prelogical makes no sense,

For it transcends making sense.

From here, prophecy emerged,

From here, came forth scripture.

A new mysticism was identified,

A flow from a vastly higher level,

One which supports paradoxes,

Coexistence of opposite streams.

Often one needs to reach higher,

To reach lower n' all in between.
