Everything that aims at affecting man is tainted with a crude sentiment of death. And it is to seek a true, purer sentiment of this kind that the hermits took refuge in the desert, that negation of history which they rightly compared to the angels, since—they maintained—both were unaware of sin and the Fall into the realm of time. The desert, in fact, provides the image of duration translated into coexistence: a motionless flow, a metamorphosis bewitched by space. The solitary retires there less to expand his solitude and enrich his absence than to produce within himself the tonality of death. In order to hear this tonality we must institute a desert within ourselves … If we succeed, certain harmonies flow through our blood, our veins dilate, our secrets and our resources appear upon the surface of ourselves where desire and disgust, horror and rapture mingle in obscure and luminous festivity.

Emile Cioran

I'm currently studying early monasticism, and it veers between being extremely boring and extremely fascinating. Most of it (so far) seems to either be about disputes over obscure doctrine, or slightly fanatical people who did nothing but fast and pray. But then you come across passages like this:

"At its core, the Manichaean theology proclaimed a cosmic dualism. The present world, in Mani's view, is a war-torn frontier land, a temporary buffer state, created from the great cosmic clash between the Kingdoms of Light and Darkness. Like earlier Gnostic theorists, Mani preached an intricate mythology, a cosmogonic drama of divine emanations and cosmic powers: Primal Man, the great Builder, the Third Messenger, the Maid of Light, the Prince of Darkness, and the Instinct of Death. The tale of their upperworldly battles and deceptions explains the wretched state of the present universe, its corruption and heartache."*

Now, tell me that doesn't sound like the most kick-ass mythology ever.
