Contemplating Illumination

- Contemplating Illumination -

   In contemplating Illumination, I wonder of some things. I wonder, how long, oh my Goddess, oh perfect female aspect of the Divine Force of the Universe… I wonder unto thee how long must my people suffer at the hands of their fellow man? How long, oh my God, must the wars and the strife that man doth unto itself be thus suffered to continue, at the cost of the very life of the land itself, which night unto bleeds from so many horrors perpetrated upon its’ once-pristine sanctity! I cannot look into the abyss of pain that this world oft plummets into and remain by this sight unmoved. For I hath seen too deeply to not weep at the sight, oh my Goddess, oh my God! Thy truths art thus daily proved… even as they wouldst see thee far removed, when they do not realize thou art closer than any may fathom.
   If I name thee not, out of respect to thy blessed identity, oh Divine Lady and Divine Lord, what is in a mere name! All that we carry with us in this world is like unto baggage, vast weight that doth seek to cause much pain to some who art not able to bear it as can others. How long, didst I ask thee? How long it shall be indeed, until mankind doth understand its’ weakness and its’ need. How canst I deliver them, oh Divinity, when they defy deliverance by thy hand? Oh Divinity, let it not cost the life of the land! Help them to understand… for in understanding much can be accomplished that through blindness or ignorance is not ever possible.
   Thy female aspects, the organized religions of the world do oft doubt and thus blaspheme against… as if man can say that God is but one gender alone and not the totality of all! Thy love and thy mercy they do see only as if through a twisted dream… as if they hath never heard of thy truth’s noble call. Yet hath I, and those of thy true Faithful, heard thee Divine Lady, Divine Lord… and we hath served thee since the first ages of time. We will never cease to so wisely preach and teach thy Word. Not until all of creation under the heavens hath verily heard the truth that only knowledge and wisdom can bestow unto the soul seeking true gnosis.
   What may I offer them, that thou hast not already out of thy sweet mercy given them long before? All that I can offer is the promise of salvation and the peace that from it shall in times to come reign once more. Thy message is most clear and thy message is most pure… let it be delivered unto every nation’s shore, that wickedness shall never put down all that thou hast made, and the Blessed, they who are of the Chosen shall erect upon this Earth a Kingdom in thy name that shall not ever fall. Its’ glory will never fade, and Heaven’s bliss shall come unto all. Let they receive it who can, and let who hath heard thy Word be moved unto bliss!
   Tell this to thy peoples, that they may know that the time foretold is now at hand… that it is not yet too late for peace, and to thusly save the very life of the land. Let them so hear, and let them so understand… all in accordance to thy holy command. In this way may all that must swiftly come to pass at last be by this faith become as fulfilled. This faith, that I: and the Faithful do bear! Not one more innocent would thence know today’s pain and no more righteous blood wouldst be so carelessly and cruelly spilled. Listen, oh man, as we hath heard. Listen, oh man, to the glory of the truth of the Divine Word made flesh and voiced through me!
   Call me faithful and call me true, for thusly these things do I relate unto all without holding one truth back… my sword is the Word and it needs slay not one as do the swords of man that one day rust with rot most corrupt. Come out of thy abyss, oh peoples of man, lest thou be lost forever in that place without light, most black. See now be forever blind… see thy errors and stand ye up! The horse I ride is called Righteousness, and it canst take thee far… beyond the boundaries of Light and Darkness, safe from the snares of wickedness and corruption, free from the horrors that come from war. Join me, and ye shall know the meaning of what I speak herein. Join me, and be free both without and within, free from all evil and free from all sin. Climb unto my steed and we may together go, to where only the most: gentle of winds do blow. Let them say I am a devil come to ensnare and deceive, those deceivers who hath blinded the world for so long! Let them call us the sinful ones, merely because we call creativity a virtue and name is chaos without the taint of anarchy to pollute it from the truth of what it originally meant. And because we find Light in Darkness, where it is needed most… and because we are different, unique, and proud of freedom and liberty without tyranny! But I say unto thee, that freedom and liberty are the birthrights of every man, woman and child… and creativity is the force that shall raise mankind up from the ashes of all it hath ever been and allow it to evolve unto a state so blessed that we hall enter into a new Eden. We hall reach it through a tower of Babel that shall not fall or be stricken, but rather it is both blessed and sanctified to allow those who travel through it to reach the new Paradise. That tower is our faith, and every word I speak of that faith plants the seeds from which the new Paradise shall become reachable by mankind. The Heaven I offer is one that no one needs wait until death for! For mine is a heaven for the living, so that when our time doth come to pass on, we will already be in a state of blessedness. How much simpler thus, to enter the greater Heaven beyond! Many fear these truths or deny them, because they cannot comprehend the nature of salvation and spiritual evolution as I canst offer unto thee.
   I am the Prophetess and Prophet who hath seen and in so seeing found the purest way… I am the Deliverer who hath come to lead the Faithful beyond the coming day. Crucify not my words upon the cross of thy broken faiths, but find new wisdom where it doth bloom like unto a flower most fair for all to see… come with me and ye shall yearn no more for things beyond thy reach, for all that is goodly and desirable may come to even one who doth willingly embrace their destiny. Return to the truth that even all thy ancestors once forgot… unto all the corruption, undo all the rot… come away from the abyss that before ye doth yean, and walk with me into the glorious light of a new dawn. I offer thee only this, as I extend my hand for thee to take. I offer thee the future itself, if thou canst find the courage to, this wise decision make. But all come to salvation, truth, and gnosis by their own paths and in their own time! Not as I will it, but as the Divine Force of the entire universe doth will it. In this way, Divine Lord and Divine Lady, thy will be done… for it is the appointed time, and the things foretold in past ages hath truly begun!

Thusly, this contemplation of Illumination ends.
