Β The Fall
As freedom has begun, so doth with it has begun the path of rise or fall.
Being dancers inside duality but deaf to the symphony of life, we lost our footing and fell.
Every fall is there to be reversed, and as man fell, so might he return.
We have been given pain and joy through our rise and fall: some will be slaves, and some will be masters; some will know good and evil, while others will know neither.
Β Prayer:
"O Satya, help us reverse the fall,
Make it short and not eternal.
Teach us how to master the fallen state and the fallen world.
Approach our ignorance in sympathy and friendship.
We are here and striving to reverse our fall!"
Ancient Greek Code Prayer Ἡ Πτῶσις
Ὦ Σάτυα, βοήθει ἡμῖν τὴν πτῶσιν ἀναστρέψαι·
ποίησον αὐτὴν βραχεῖαν, μὴ αἰώνιον.
δίδαξον ἡμᾶς κρατεῖν τῆς πεπτωκυίας καταστάσεως καὶ τοῦ πεπτωκότος κόσμου.
τῇ ἀγνοίᾳ ἡμῶν προσέλθε μετὰ συμπαθείας καὶ φιλίας.
ἐνταῦθα ἐσμὲν καὶ ἀγωνιζόμεθα τὴν πτῶσιν ἀναστρέψαι.
Transliteration
Ō Satya, boēthei hēmin tēn ptōsin anastrepsai;
poiēson autēn brakheian, mē aiōnion.
didaxon hēmas kratein tēs peptōkyias katastaseōs kai tou peptōkotos kosmou.
tēi agnoiai hēmōn proselthe meta sympatheias kai philias.
entautha esmen kai agōnizometha tēn ptōsin anastrepsai.
Meaning
The prayer asks Satya for a brief, reversible fall, mastery of the fallen condition, and compassionate instruction.
The Ethic in Ancient Greek
Ὅτε ἡ ἐλευθερία ἤρξατο, συνῆρξατο αὐτῇ ἡ ὁδὸς τῆς ἀναβάσεως ἢ τῆς πτώσεως.
Ὡς χορευταὶ μὲν ἐν τῇ δυάδι, κωφοὶ δὲ πρὸς τὴν τοῦ βίου συμφωνίαν, τὸ βῆμα ἀπωλέσαμεν καὶ ἐπέσαμεν.
Πᾶσα πτῶσις ἀναστρέψιμός ἐστιν· ὥσπερ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἔπεσεν, οὕτως ἐπανελθεῖν δύναται.
Ἀλγηδόνα καὶ χαρὰν διὰ τῆς ἀνόδου καὶ πτώσεως ἐλάβομεν· οἱ μὲν δοῦλοι, οἱ δὲ δεσπόται γενήσονται· οἱ μὲν τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ τὸ κακὸν γνώσονται, οἱ δ᾽ οὐδέτερον.
Hē Ptōsis · Transliteration
Hote hē eleutheria ērxato, synērxato autēi hē hodos tēs anabaseōs ē tēs ptōseōs.
Hōs khoreutai men en tēi dyadi, kōphoi de pros tēn tou biou symphōnian, to bēma apōlesamen kai epesamen.
Pasa ptōsis anastrepsimos estin; hōsper ho anthrōpos epesen, houtōs epanelthein dynatai.
Algēdona kai kharan dia tēs anodou kai ptōseōs elabomen; hoi men douloi, hoi de despotai genēsontai; hoi men to agathon kai to kakon gnōsontai, hoi d᾽ oudeteron.
