For fast writing, we took a stick dipped in water and wrote in the dust. Later, we chiseled it into tablets of stone. This was not as hard as you think, but it took time. | + | ==Session== |

Then I was bent over the tablets for many long hours. I was entirely dedicated to preserving words. | | "All day long, I was bent over my tasks.

| "The trick was to let the words flow through from ear to hand directly, without thinking about the meaning, in order to go fast enough. You know this trick already, I believe. I’m not telling you anything new. Although the position of a scribe was somewhat lowly, the Pharaoh needed me and others like me, to turn his great words to stone and give them immortality. | | "The trick was to let the words flow through from ear to hand directly, without thinking about the meaning, in order to go fast enough.

Only a tiny fraction remains. Even stone can turn to dust. So you see, you must spend your time on soul development. Only soul development lasts forever. You are not perfect as a scribe, as I was nearly perfect, but you have done well. I will return." | + | "Oh, but when I survey the world I see that great, great numbers of them have been lost.
