Plates 16-17 Lyrics
The Giants who formed this world into its sensual existence and now seem to live in it in chains, are in truth, the causes of its life & the sources of all activity; but the chains are, the cunning of weak and tame minds, which have power to resist energy, according to the proverb, the weak in courage is strong in cunning
Thus one portion of being, is the Prolific, the other, the Devouring: to the devourer it seems as if the producer was in his chains, but it is not so; he only takes portions of existence and fancies that the whole
But the Prolific would cease to be Prolific unless the Devourer as a sea recieved the excess of his delights
Some will say, Is not God alone the Prolific? I answer, God only Acts & Is, in existing beings or Men
These two classes of men are always upon earth, & they should be enemies; whoever tries to reconcile them seeks to destroy existence
Religion is an endeavour to reconcile the two

Note. Jesus Christ did not wish to unit but to seperate them, as in the Parable of sheep and goats! & he says I came not to send Peace but a Sword
Messiah or Satan or Tempter was formerly thought to be one of the Antediluvians who are our Energies
