I dug this up from an ancient post (way back in 2003) from old Pope Nag

During the rule of the First Emperor, the philosopher Sun Fei sat down at the base of a tree and meditated. For five days and five nights he sat there, motionless, untill in the fifth night he was rewarded with a vision.
In his vision, Sun Fei saw a golden cage sitting under a star filled sky. In the cage perched a bird of radiant beauty, it's feathers shining even in the dark of night. The door to the golden cage was closed, but unlocked, yet the bird took no heed of the door and instead pecked incessantly at a small mirror hanging in the cage.
If the bird was Man and the sky the World, what was the cage? What meaning had the mirror? The stars? The door?
/me is pleasantly confused
Ancient roots of the Black Iron Prison teachings, FTW.
Goldplated Iron Birdcage. :lulz:
