THE MIND IS A
MODERN POINT OF VIEW
The sluiceway was opened, and the waters inundated
the city - old buildings crumbled and hundreds were killed.
Why this occurred, no one really knew. The civil authorities
blamed the military men, and they, in turn, blamed the
mayor's minions. Substandard experimentation with
governmental funds. Or something like that.
And then not long after, it was said instead to be
the work of God, or some God anyway. The random
Cardinal, coming down from his broken cathedral in
dripping rags, said simply that he would 'have to check'
before commenting. 'After all, God's not really been
around here for a very long time; why would he
re-enter now, and in this manner?' The big brass
went along with that. 'We note this absence of God in
oh so many things; that void will be filled at once
by the King. He will rewrite this episode, and you
will learn in this manner : this idea of 'Mind' is a
modern thing. Reality is essentially empty.'
