The prophet is not diverted by illusions of past, present and future. The
     fixity of language determines such linear distinctions. Prophets hold a key to
     the lock in a language. The mechanical image remains only an image to them.
     This is not a mechanical universe. The linear progression of events is imposed
     by the observer. Cause and effect? That's not it at all. The prophet utters
     fateful words. You glimpse a thing "destined to occur." But the prophetic
     instant releases something of infinite portent and power. The universe
     undergoes a ghostly shift. Thus, the wise prophet conceals actuality behind
     shimmering labels. The uninitiated then believe the prophetic language is
     ambiguous. The listener distrusts the prophetic messenger. Instinct tells
     you how the utterance blunts the power of such words. The best prophets
     lead you up to the curtain and let you peer through for yourself.
