[h3][color=fff200]"The word: Consume."[/color][/h3]

[color=fff200][b]"It’s origins, like our good friend Mr Duchamp, come from France, with heavy influence from the Roman Empire prior.  [i]'Consumer'[/i]."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"...and not as in 'one who consumes'."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"'[i]Consumer[/i]', as I just explained so eloquently, can be broken down to it’s Latin parts."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"[i]'Con-'[/i]  For 'altogether' or 'all in one bunch' or something of that ilk, and the verb [i]'sumere'[/i]… 'to take up'.  As in '[i]sumo[/i]', 'I take up'.  '[i]Sumis[/i]', 'You, individually, take up'.  '[i]Sumit[/i]', 'He, she or it takes up'.  '[i]Sumimus[/i]', 'We take--”[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"You know what..?  Sorry.  I tend to get carried away with my Latin.  Beautiful language.  It has a mathematical precision…  But back to the point at hand."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"You might be asking yourself at this point, 'Well, yes.  To consume means just that.  To lay waste and devour the whole thing.'  Perhaps you are even drawn to the phrase 'to have one’s cake and eat it too' which deals with this nature of consumption, perhaps more aptly the phrase should be 'to eat one’s cake and have it too', but we needn't delve into the inaccuracies and inadaquacies of man here and now.  The main point I'm making is that the sentiment generally being expressed in modern times is that some things are a digital 'either/or' situation and that if you consume a thing you can not still have the item with you to use again later."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"But there is a reason why before the Latin used it in a sense of 'to take up'..."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"Understand that many early civilizations often dealt with the nature of cannibalism as a cultural tradition.  Understandably, to many members of modern civilizations - say, Jack Russell for instance as a particularly pertinent example - the thought of which may leave something of a bad taste in the mouth..."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"But to these people cannibalism can serve a somewhat respectful cause.  To many early tribes it would be unthinkable to allow a relative to be lost without a trace.  Without a morsel to be found for his descendants.  This is because many of these early civilizations believed that in the consumption of the flesh, attributes of the deceased can be passed on to the eater.  Whether this be some concept of a “soul” or merely the admirable attributes of the deceased - such as, say, desirable hunting or gathering traits, keen eyesight, the ability to wage war or defend the tribe.  A relative, or occasionally a member of a foreign tribe, all taken up completely, for the benefit of the consumer."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"Again, not the frenchman DuChamp..."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"Having a little something to do with the path to the next world myself, I feel qualified to inform you of the role of consumption for those seeking safe travels between worlds."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"But I’ll try to remain humble, however much that means for one of my station.  Sometimes, for a god, attempts at humility are themselves a condescension..."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"Again we’ll consider Khonshu, and the role of one such as him.  To aid those traversing worlds beyond this mortal coil.  You may remember I mentioned previously how he would capture and kill other gods for the benefit of those travellers."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"To immortals such as gods, death is often a very fickle thing and seldom means the end."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"Particularly beyond your mortal world in the cosmos of the Othervoid and Overvoid."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"The attributes of a god become valuable commodities in these worlds.  And for gods capable of rejuvenation and resurrection, the cost of having the eyes and will of Horus, the mind of the mighty Thoth, the dignity of Osiris, the aesthetics of Hathor or the radiance of Ra himself are largely inconvenience."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"So we see that consumption is not always negative, nor an ends of itself.  Sometimes it can be it’s own means."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200][b]"Of course sometimes that is still the case...  Take it from a god of the moon and one who is familiar with Ammut..."[/b][/color]
