For shadows, there is no time save this time, no
space save this space, no motion save this motion. It is abstracted from all
truth, yet is not without it. But, it’s also not impossible to think (if this
is an ideal shadow) that the opposite, or something else is also true, since it
is all one. With shadows, there is no opposite, neither darkness nor light. So man
took refuge in the Tree of Knowledge, and knew shadow and light, truth and
falsehood, good and evil, when God called out to him: “Adam, where are you?”
