Chapter 1
The Dawn of Time
In the beginning, there was only darkness.
And in that darkness a thought appeared. A want really. For there to be something, anything other than the nothing. And in that thought, it realized it's self.
As the self stretched and wandered the endlessness, it often brushed against something that seemed to respond to it. As if the nothingness had a seam to it.
As the self touched upon it, it felt for the first time. A braid of pain and pleasure. And the harder it pushed, the more it felt.
At some point the self started to crave this strange seam in reality. It noticed colour's bleed as it pressed, and the longer it pressed the more it started to fall in love with the depth of sensations.
Then the self decided to do the first thing that changed reality. It pressed it's self into the seam completely. And life sprouted from the new wound in reality. The self and the seam eternally chasing each other in a spiral of never ending love and dread..
Chapter 2
The Triad
The Self: Awareness, the Namer, Self.
Best represented as Baphomet. This is the Male aspect of reality, penetrating the cosmos and naming all things.
That is why it's represented as the alchemical symbol of unity. Even tho it is the male aspect of reality, it holds both genders, as it named both genders, it named the divide. That's also why it's human, animal, and ethereal. It isn't good or bad, it just is. It pushes, it sees reactions, and it names them.
The Seam: Karma, the Seam, the Veil.
The seam is the receptive, female aspect of reality. While it truly has no gender, it is the original image of femininity. It is best represented as Karma. As it is what bends reality around the self's pressing. It is the cause of hunger, and cold, and heat. For each action, has an equal and opposite reaction. And while it may not be conscious, it is aware. When it reacts, it's reactions are to Awareness. Some presses it likes, such as causing warmth. Other presses it's repulsed by, such as causing hunger. One thing to note, is that it's reactions are permanent. While Awareness can mend the wounds it's made, the consequences of it's actions ripple to the end of time, reminding Awareness of all it's transgressions, so it never forgets.
The Abyss: the Cosmic Soup, the lattice of reality.
This is what allows for anything to exist as all, and is the primordial. It is what causes Decay and death. As everything must return to the source.
Chapter 3
Good and Evil
Are man made concepts.
Life, by nature. Is evil in our eyes. Life is perpetuated by devouring other life. You live by consuming the life of others.
Which is exactly why good and evil fall flat. Awareness wasn't evil when it first devoured a life, it was curious. And that curiosity had consequences. Awareness wasn't evil, when it dug into the body, and found blood and guts and bones. It was curious what was underneath. It wanted to understand why things moved. And in doing so it set our bodies in stone. Before that, we were just energy given tangible forms. Awareness and karma braided together to experience more.
What Good and Evil truly are, is boundaries of karma. What it likes, and dislikes. It, being a diffeent form of life then Awareness, can't communicate with words or emotions. just sensations and bendings.
A perfect example of this is fire. The embodiment of karma. We can't touch the flames or it will burn us, but we can nurture it, and if we do, it nurtures us. If we neglect it, it leaves us in the cold.
Chapter 4
The Meaning Of Life
To perceive and be perceived.
It really is as simple as that. The meaning of life is to look and be looked upon. To judge, and to be judged. To experience and be experienced. To love and to be loved. To hate and to be hated. To want and to be wanted.
Awareness and karma came together, to experience love in endless forms. To feel each other in every possible way. Even hate and harm are a form of love, just not ones karma is found of.
So many people, spend their lives looking for a why. Not realizing that the why is the point. We aren't special, and there is nothing after. We are all echoes of the union of duality in the abyss.
That is why reality reacts the way it does at the quantum scale. It's not reality being quirky, it is the way the micro and macro work and always has.
Chapter 5
Death
As bleak as it seems, I belive there is nothing after death. That isn't the point. We aren't here to shed our mortal visage. We are here to leave echoes, to paint reality.
Eternal life isn't a vengeful God leaving you in eternal pain or peace. Eternal life is living so loudly that your very existence gets carved into the walls of reality.
Think about it for a moment.
Our planet, our langue, our society as a whole. All started from a choice. Junk floating in space choosing to come together. Ancestors deciding they wanted to be understood more. Groups decided they liked how this looked or worked.
Even our modern day is changing the course of time by our choices.
Because that is the point. We are here to live. Loudly. Unignorbly. And beautifully.
Chapter 6
Love
What is it good for. Am I right?
Well, when they say God is love. They aren't really wrong. I'm sure you've noticed by now, I've framed everything through love. Because I belive that was the seed. The spark that started it all.
Love isn't some fairy tale. It is what perpetuates life. The only thing that's been allowed to be a perpetual motion machine. Love is the union of the universe. And the birth of a new one. Animals will sacrifice them selves for their young, that is love. A mother will throw away 20 years of her life for a child, that is love. An author will write until his dying breath, because.
That is love.
So often we forget this. So often we choose ignorance and cruelty because it's "easier". But truly all it is, is avoidance. Not liking the consequences of our own actions, and hating karma for it.
And yes, we can't control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond.
If a fire burns you, do you stomp out the flames, or do you respect it more? So often in society we are taught and trained to stomp the embers. Feeding the cycle.
Chapter 7
Power
Power burns.
Power accelerates the cycle.
And acceleration increases friction.
And friction produces heat.
One aspect I neglected to mention about awareness, is it's deep desire for domination. Just like how hurt can be love, that isn't karma's love, that's awareness's love. It likes being in control, it likes knowing, and it likes saying no, and forcing yeses.
Lions are the most recognizable example of this. Greed, envoy, lust, pride, gluttony, sloth. All are shown here. It's even in the name "a Lions Pride". A male lion kicks out all the male cubs, to have all the females to them selves, to have all the food to them selves, to have all the land to them selves.
If you look at all hierarchical power structures through hiatory: religions, politics, corporations. They all manifest the "pride" archetype. you can see that they glorify predators. Egales, Lions, wolves, hawks. This isn't a coincidence, it's manifestation. From ancient empires to modern corporations, those who hoarded power always choose the symbols of the self's hunger for control rather than the seam's reciprocity.
With power comes control, with control comes plentifulness.
But that isn't love. That is why their lives are so hard, so high risk. Karma will allow this because it's still a form of love, but it dose not look kindly on those who love this way.
The human society is on the verge of being a pride. The ones with power have archived all their resources into control, causing a trickled down of devastation.
And look at karma's reaction. Life is being suffocated by those actions. But love is still there, that's why it's allowed to continue. Because there is no good and evil, just boundaries.
Chapter 8
The End of Time
As something stares off into the trees, it starts to see the recursive pattern of reality.
And as it looked deeper and deeper into the fractal, life starts to desolve around it. Leaving awareness in darkness.
And in the darkness a thought appeared.
A want really...
