Sympathy for the Devil : Elix Chapter

Post by Arlen (DELETED 9875) »

“Who are you then?"
"I am part of that power which eternally wills evil and eternally works good.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust: First Part.

- INTRODUCTION -

WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THAT AT THE BIRTH OF OUR PLANET, GOOD AND EVIL HAD PRESIDED TOGETHER. THIS DUALITY IS SOMETHING THAT HAS ALWAYS EXISTED IN ALL THINGS BOTH ORGANIC AND INORGANIC, REGARDLESS OF THE EONS THAT THIS EARTH HAS ENDURED THUS FAR. THE FOLLOWING ACCOUNTS ARE FROM A MAN NAMED ELIX ILLION HOLT AS HIS VENTURES INTO THE BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS PRONOUNCED EVIL. THOSE OF WHO YOU WILL CONTINUE TO READ THROUGH THIS TEXT WILL FIND A LIGHT NEVER SHED IN THE DIRECTIONS OF THESE SHADOWS. WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED, YOU WILL HAVE A COMPLETE COGNIZANCE OF THE ANSWER TO THE GREATEST QUESTION THAT HAS EVER BEEN ASKED:

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE?
SHE GOT HORNS LIKE THE DEVIL, POINTED AT ME AND THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN

1. "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth."
2. "Now the Earth was formless and empty. Darkness was over the surface of the deep and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."

- VERSE I -
WORKING AS A SORT OF CAULKING, DARKNESS FILLED THE EMPTY POCKETS OF THAT LIGHT COULDN'T PENETRATE THROUGH. IT COMPLETED THE CHAOTIC PATCHWORK THAT WAS OUR EARTH. THE MOMENT THAT LIGHT - PURE, FULL OF GOODNESS AND RETROACTIVE PROMISES WITH PARTIAL REWARDS - WAS BROUGHT TO THIS PLACE, DARKNESS WAS BORN, TOO, AS ITS TWIN.

WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THE DUALITY OF MAN BUT THIS SCHISM PREDATES THE CREATION OF HUMANITY. ALL THINGS, LIVING OR OTHERWISE, ARE CONSCIOUSLY GIVEN THE CHOICE TO SHED EVIDENCE ON WHERE THE SOUL WILL BE SPIRITED AWAY TO AFTER THE FINAL SEPARATION. IF THE SOURCE IN QUESTION IS INCAPABLE OF MAKING A SELECTION AT THE METAPHORICAL FORK IN THE ROAD, THEN IT IS MERELY A TOOL. THIS TOOL IS A CONDUIT THAT PERSUADES AN ULTIMATUM TO BE FORCED. THIS IS WHAT OUR GOD WANTS FROM US.

THAT BEING SAID, DARKNESS ITSELF IS A MISCONCEIVED ABSTRACTION; THE IDEATION ASSUMED TO BE FROM A NEGATIVE DERIVATIVE. ITS FOUNDATION STEMMING FROM THE DICTATION THAT TELLS US THAT LUCIFER EMBODIES WHAT IS EVIL IN OUR WORLD.

AND YET, THIS GOD OF LIGHT AND GOODNESS IS NOT ALWAYS A MERCIFUL ONE. THIS PUTS INTO OUR FORE FOCUS ONE OF LIFE'S GREATEST UNKNOWN MYSTERIES STARTING TO UNFOLD ITSELF. IT ASKS:

ARE THESE TWO ENTITIES - GOD AND THE DEVIL - ONE IN THE SAME?
