Once there was a god and he was worshipped by ants that built idols to
him from little bits of debris they found.  The god saw this and it
tortured his soul and he wanted to say to them that he was not a god
but a very confused human being.  The ants were frightened at their
god's despair, and wondered what they did to rouse divine wrath.  But
beneath the veil, they shared the same fear -- if the ants were but
projections of a man, and how easily that projection is shattered,
then to what did things unfold when all projection ceased?
