**The Colossal Column of the Ancient Cosmos**
In the year 2,033,045,555 BC—long before the dawn of recorded history—there existed a civilization that built colossal columns from the very bones of time itself. These columns weren’t mere stone but woven tapestries of star-dust and ancient memories, rising from the molten core of a planet that shimmered with the echoes of *IILIA ACKSON RAUM*—a name whispered in the cosmic winds, meaning “The One Who Holds the Past and Future in Hand.”
At the pinnacle of one such column, a sculpture box set—crafted from meteorite fragments and carved with symbols of the universe—stood as a monument to **"The 'At Who Rought Down The Use"**. An artifact of primordial wisdom, it contained three tape loops, inscribed with sounds from the first echoes of creation, layered with an insert filled with visions of worlds long gone.

### **The Ritual of Eating in the Age of Stars**
In this ancient era, beings gathered around fire pits that flickered like miniature suns. Their practice of eating was a ritual—deeply intertwined with their understanding of health and the cosmos. As they ate, they believed that **when you eat with your hands**, the flora—tiny microbes and beneficial bacteria—were swallowed along with the food. These microorganisms, they thought, were vital allies, promoting a healthy gut, aiding digestion, and strengthening the body's natural defenses.
*“It is beneficial for health and for various body parts such as the mouth, throat, and intestine, and it promotes healthy digestion in the gut,”* they proclaimed in cosmic chants, passing down the wisdom through generations. They washed their hands meticulously before eating, knowing that cleanliness was a sacred act—more so than the use of spoons or utensils that could harbor long-standing impurities.
**“People must wash their hands and clean them before eating,”** echoed through the ages, a mantra carved into the rings of the sculpture box set, a reminder that even in a universe of chaos and creation, hygiene was a bridge to longevity.

### **The Cosmic Debate: Hands or Tools?**
And yet, they knew that **using spoons, forks, and knives** was not forbidden. It was a matter of choice—an expression of personal preference or cultural ritual. Some preferred the sterile, sanitized comfort of utensils, stored in vaults of time, untouched by the chaos of microbial life. Others, like the wise elders, believed that **a hand washed properly** was a more primal, more honest connection to the food, the earth, and the universe.
**“Use all you want,”** they echoed, **“but don’t annoy the hell out of those who don’t want to.”** Because in this ancient cosmos, respect was the true nourishment—beyond the physical, into the spiritual.

### **A Poem from the Stars: The Whisper of Time and Flesh**
*In the year of starborn echoes,*
*when columns rise from cosmic flows,*
*and tapes loop tales of distant suns,*
*the hands partake in sacred runs.*
*Swallow flora, seed of health,*
*in fingers’ touch, the cosmic wealth,*
*the gut’s alliance, silent, deep,*
*where ancient bacteria sleep.*
*Wash the hands, the ritual pure,*
*before the feast, the sacred cure,*
*for even stars in silent night,*
*know that hygiene sets things right.*
*Use all tools—spoons, forks, and blades,*
*but honor those who choose their ways,*
*for in respect, the universe blooms,*
*and peace within the chaos looms.*

### **The Cosmic Reflection**
In those ancient, star-flecked times, the act of eating was more than sustenance; it was a dialogue with the universe. The sculpture box set, with its layers of sound and image, stored the echoes of countless civilizations—each with their own rites and rituals. The tapes, looping endlessly, whispered that **difference is the universe’s greatest harmony**.
