Ego - Vanity of Vanities
In the beginning there was ego
and vanity was everything. Eccl. 1.2
Ego manifested
from that magical moment
when the first hominid saw himself
as a separate reflective entity
Sharing then took on
a super-natural dimension
that went far beyond
the natural reflex
Ego saw itself
as the Great Provider
and enjoyed power through dividing
and sharing the hunt
So it was through vanity
that Man lifted himself
above all other creatures
and saw the Face of God

Except that Man did not lift himself above the creatures...God did - Gen 1v28 God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground"
-through 'vanity'....I do believe man then hid himself from the face of God.............
