In all these ways, it turns out that the binary of reasoned settling-out language and poetic declaration so essential to the structure of Authenticity is also disclosed as an intrinsic hermeneutical continuity. Poetry, lit from within by a mythic luminosity, has been a natural vehicle for putting forward such alogical and metaconceptual lore. At the same time, the philosophical principles rooted in such poetic expression are also given rigorous voice in Authenticity. Their interaction is isomorphic to the way that reasoning and open awareness are both part of that text and part of the overall makeup of any given practitioner.

Moreover, the text is about to release the reader into the colophon, which, whether originally part of the work or not, opens a third kind of discursive space. Now that the picture of Authenticity's metaphysical and scriptural origins has been divulged, tales of the text's material production and transmission will for the first time place the work in a temporal, geographical, and culturalhistorical framework. To probe the stories of the colophon is to find ourselves in a matrix of occult, mythic, and historical narratives, all of them claiming authority in relation to Authenticity.
