Transient, Sustained and Eternal

[Sacred Fool]

For someone who so likes poetic expression, that is rather literal of you.

  
Ha ha.  Yeah, well, perhaps I have more than a single tool in my tool box?  Also, fyi, touchstones are very much in contemporary use in pawn shops.

Anyhow, on this little item, here's my guess.  I think you're reading "feel the magnetic pull" as an appositive when Ra is actually adding two different thoughts together; viz., dig into this stuff seriously (a) as one who seeks truth which passes the sniff test and (2) as one who wishes to surrender to the consequential tides of blind trust which may carry you through the keyhole and into a strange new landscape.  (I made that florid for your benefit, old fellow.)
