You can say to me, who?
Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together
But when I look ahead up the white road
There is always another one walking beside you
Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded
I do not know whether a man or a woman
-But who is that on the other side of you?

He was hailed as the Most High God, “who holds the universe together.” The people were told, “The god is saved; and for you also will come salvation.” His worshippers ate his sacred body in the form of bread. The temple dedicated to him and the Mother Goddess Cybele stood on Vatican Hill in Rome for six centuries, up to the fourth century ad/ce.
Tolstoy
I found that for people of my circle there were four ways out of the terrible position in which we are all placed. The first was that of ignorance. It consists in not knowing, not understanding, that life is an evil and an absurdity.
