...Humpty Dumpty had a great fall and scattered into fragments. All the kings horsemen and all the kings men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again. Will you piece yourself together again, from division to the undivided? Or will you seek for the kings men and his horse men to do or give you what they can't, for just like Humpty Dumpty whom no man could fix dwelt in perpetual division by looking to others to fix what was his to complete, will you rectify what can only be done within yourself by yourself?

I suppose later they depicted Humpty Dumpty as an egg in pictures because it fit the nursery rhyme's riddle. Humpty Dumpty was slang for a clumsy person, but I suppose they figured an egg would be more fitting. To be honest, an egg has an greater esoteric value. At least that is my opinion.

Heh I never mentioned egg in my question. The aspect that I am looking at is his fall and that no one could put him back together again. Shalom.

Both. I'm using past information gathered from 'kings' and 'horses men' but I'm the one who has to go through the information and find out what works and what doesn't to put myself together...not again, exactly. I'd like it to be better than before.

Thank you for your suggestion, however once again the comparison of the great fall of egg or person in the fable of Humpty Dumpty is erroneous. It is neither, but is the false idea of the ego. The fall may be looked at as a jump into the unknown by the mind. All the Kings powers could not reconstruct what is no more. Nor could any lost identity cling to shadows of what one was imagined.
Something new can not come from something old. The new is the Resurrection into Enlightenment and merger into the whole. Seek and you shall not find. knock and Grace will descend and shower upon you.
Keep up the good work. I have been waiting for you.

Humpty Dumpty became a nickname for a extensive cannon that sat on a rugged wall side protecting the fort. The cannon fired and went over the sting and became demolished while it hit the floor. The kings adult males arrived and deemed it ineffective as a results of fact it became unrepairable. it relatively is the real tale in the back of the nursery rhyme.

My view - all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again - but the King can! I can't fix and restore the fragments, but God can. David mentioned this in Psalm 23:3 - "He (meaning God) restoreth my soul."
Through Jesus we can be made new, have our broken hearts healed, be set free and comforted!
(II Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature; old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new." See also Isaiah 61:1 - 3.)

What I want to know is who first got the idea that Humpty Dumpty was an egg? Nowhere in the poem does it say this!

I really like & agree with Asha's answer, but think it is a process for most people to get to that point. First I looked to what was outside of me to try to fix what I thought was broken. Then, I realized that no one outside of me could fix me, I had to fix myself. Thus my journey of self discovery began. Eventually I came to the place of knowing that what was real in me could never be damaged or broken, allowing me to once again look at what I perceived others with new eyes. It is a true that in reality we are all one & unbroken no matter how we seem to fall, it is entirely different thing to really know & live this truth. It took me lots of searching & attempt at mending to find it. Thanks!

Great question!!
I see it as if the power for "fixing" things is really withing us, but we tend to trust others to help us, because we tend to feel sorry about ourselves. "Poor me" kind of thought. When we realize "wait a minute, I can do something by myself", the power turns on and everything happens. I really believe we have this power inside of us, especially because we were made the image of God, consequently we have power that we don't even know we have.
Peace!

If he was an egg why send horses to try and repair him? Surely the lack of opposable thumbs and having hooves......

I went in my room and I said ..
Jesus I am a sinner.
I believe You died on the cross For my sins.
Please forgive my sins.
Jesus come into my heart
And all of the sudden Jesus fill me with so much peace&love.
I couldnt even believe anyone could love me that much.
He also put it in my heart that I was saved and would live forever with Him.
Now I have a loving personal relationship with Jesus.
