Without a Worry in the World

Life was so much easier without a worry in the World. For it is only in this World that we have worries to dog our thinking, and cast doubts before we ever begin.

Heaven does not abide any kind of self lament, or tedious nag - and even with the greatest cares of all, they are manifest through love and purpose, and never defined by worry.

Worry is insatiable - it erodes the future ere it begins.

Miracles & Murmur

Willem van Mieris 

“What am I to do now?” the desperate man [Brother Theo] entreated.

“Go back to your vespers and give a prayer of thanks” - replied the sophisticated Monk somewhat heartlessly.

“But Brother, you do not understand.”

However it was no use, as Murmur had already gone - as was his want to leave straight away after a healing.

By all appearances this act had become no more than flinging mud from his sandal, as he found these miracles in his later years bewilderingly tiresome.

Heaven can Wait

Brother Theo was not an impious man, but rather, it could be said, that he was acutely dutiful - reprimanding himself unforgivingly for every infraction and untoward slip, continuously. For it was, that he sought the Heavenly reward far more than life itself.

His suicide was not really impetuous, for he had been preparing for it, for this, for most of his life.

When Murmur had discovered him, Theo’s neck was displaced, and his head faced the East, whilst his body faced the West.

In just minutes the deceased man was revived.

Murmur was no longer young himself, and as such, had witnessed so many resurrections he had lost count of them. He literally thought nothing of it.

But to the soul he had ‘saved’ it was an entirely different matter.

The Dracula Principle

"And, (and here is the evility to recognize) it would [the serpent], and does, eat its very own in order to stay alive.

"It is verily the Dracula principle, one which holds contempt for every creature considered frail or beneath them, dismissing their existence mercilessly, as no more than sustenance or sacrifice for their own ends.

"Those who have given over to this reptilian coldness can be recognized in this World as being faithful to only one, and self-serving at the core.

"They may lie very well, professing altruism, or mimicking charity, yet they are but two faced forgeries.

"In truth, their own arrogance draws them into the serpent’s hole, as they justify harm to even they of their own kind. Thus the Dragon devours its own tail - the ultimate self fulfilment - closed to all else within an infinite cycle of self love and acquisition.

"Cannibalism is universally unworkable. It is a practice that comes from the invert worlds - and make no mistake, it is pure evil."

Circle of Endless Cycle

The great Lion raised its paw and pointed to an invisible wall where a motif appeared there before them. It was of a dragon that had become a circle, eating its own tail.

“See the Ouroboros. Do you know what it represents to many?”

“Infinity” came the reply.

“Yes. And its imagery is apt - for the Dragon lives on.

"Firstly, this circle of endless cycle, represents a continuum of the same i.e. a constant death of sorts - an enduring world that refuses to break down or give way, one that clings to its own existence … a Luciferic sphere, that does not seek or tolerate change … wishing only to maintain that which it already is."

Infinity times Two

"There is not just one type of infinity my child - but two. I shall explain to you now the very mystery and truth about good and evil.

"Yes, it can be told: one from the other. One is not the same as the other, as evil might have it … the principles of good and evil are indeed very clear, when you know them.

"And, equally, there are two ways of infinity."

Ouroboros Serpent

Vlad would hold his inner gaze on this Serpent for hours at a time.

Later in life he despised all who he considered to be less than he. Weakness, he perceived, was a sign of unholiness. The weak did not conform to God.

In his alignment to the unnamed one, Vlad walked a lonely path - for no other came close to his private and personal elevation. He hid well this secret alliance. His certifiable smugness. This extreme and inverted egotism. He took his own counsel, and agreed with himself, that Vlad, and only Vlad, was worthy of the highest prize.
