>Maybe that reversion to the simple 'Be' is the idea of union with The One/The Good... ?
There is this idea that I can not divest myself of which goes like this: Regression is the secret to Progression. Much like a caterpillar which abandons crawling in favor of the cocoon, it seeks this purpose for an even greater principle. The Initial Principle (movement in the form crawling) regresses into dormancy, but this is done for the Purpose of the Final Principle (movement in the form of flying). The Platonic Forms abandon Permanence for Eternity, but for what purpose, I do not know.
