Sounds to me like it's about God. God as the universe.
Everything comes from the one.
Old ___ to the one.
By the one.
For the one.
This ___ things have been born from this single thing by adoption.
We all come from the Universe (or god created us),
It's all created "by the One", (a concept we are all familiar with)
its created "for the One" (this sound like the idea that all consciousnesses are like the eyes of god exploring itself, or as Bill Hicks put it "we
are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively") in other words, we exist so that the ONE the All Thing, might be able to perceive and
know itself.
Finally, all sub-things are simply a part of the big single thing, the being of the universe. I suppose the "adoption" bit is like saying we are born
from it but our mothers also, so each thing is born from its greater thing (the small rock from the bigger rock it broke off of) but while we are born
from these things, we are also all born of the greater being of the universe which takes us as its own. Though I'd need to know more about the
original language used to get the correct sense of the word adoption.
Thanks again Cuervo!
