“That the gods do indeed exist is a matter of clear and distinct perception” — Epicurus, Letter to Menoeceus
Our perceptibility of the ethereal films issued from the higher dimensionals is an irrefutable proof of their existence. What is perceptible is not always visible, for anything of a dimension higher than the spatial, or third, dimension is invisible to the eye. A sensor that can perceive but a small subset of the electromagnetic spectrum even in the current dimension is in no capacity, except in one’s fanciful imagination, serviceable in the perception of higher realms. A butterfly can see intricate ultraviolet patterns on the petals of flowers, that are otherwise invisible to the unaided eye. If every light in the universe is put out, the only object the eye could perceive then would be the impenetrable dark. In other words, ocular visibility has no bearing on the existence of things.
Being of unknown origins. There are no complete records of its personal history.
The Creator, or the demiurge, or “god” as the masses call it, is a higher dimensional that has assumed or acquired power enough to warp space, time, matter, and energy, including consciousness, in and out of being. It’s credited with the creation of the spatial dimension, time, and planetary life, among other things. Though the Creator is invisible to the lower dimensions, it can take on any forms it desires, man or beast, by uniting its ethereal form with atoms, by means of which it gains immersive interdimensional access. The Creator might be a council or collection of distinct beings exuding a collective identity, but the exact number or the true functional nature of such is unknown. It may or may not be truly omnipotent or having such despotic power as to do anything it listed. Further, it may or may not have a charitable or benevolent character and disposition to any degree, however trivial. Great are the mists of uncertainty and obscurity that cloak this being.
Notwithstanding its elusive nature, what evidenced from even the earliest records of life did not infer a benevolent disposition; whatwith the successive extinction events befalling the ancient creatures, and their created functions being chiefly concerned with i) competition over limited resources, ii) preying on life, and iii) reproduction, which naturally enforced their continued presence on the planet, and in effect, the malevolent feedback loop. To think these creatures were immersed in an endless struggle for existence on the watch of the Creator over the course of 440 million years or about a tenth of the planet’s history.
Through windswept notes and sketches, Darwin captured the choreography of life on this planet:
i) “We behold the face of nature with gladness, we often see superabundance of food; we do not see, or we forget that the birds which are idly singing round us mostly live on insects or seeds, and are thus constantly destroying life; or we forget how largely these songsters, or their eggs, or their nestlings, are destroyed by birds and beasts of prey; we do not always bear in mind, that though food may be now superabundant, it is not so at all seasons of each recurring year,” (Origin of Species, C.III);
ii) “…each species tries to take advantage of the instincts of others, as each takes advantage of the weaker bodily structure of others.” (C.VII). That is, the prevailing instincts of species are not to take care of, but to take advantage of, the weaker structures or instincts of another.
As the poet Tennyson put it, “…Nature, red in tooth and claw.” In short, the inner workings of nature, a component of mechanical Necessity, are not benevolent at its core. And neither are the societies of man, which are a component of mechanical and providential Necessity; for they are caught in the same feedback loop. Behind every stone of civilization lies a body buried, and at the heart of every civilization lies competition. Humans have long engaged in competition over resources and territories, mirroring the patterns of the wild. Recorded deaths from conflicts, excluding civilians, have already exceeded one billion over the course of their brief existence, they having journeyed but 0.04% of the planet history. Humans made cattle of other living creatures, and often preyed on the weaker minds and constitutions of one another. And just as it is in nature, one man’s gain is generally another’s loss.
Again, on the ancient creatures: these creatures were no mere childhood obsessions as the Creator would have the ignorant masses believe. Every man should look into them as a mirror of the present and a presage of the future. The fossilized remains of the ancient creatures that went before have borne an undying witness to the inescapable fate that awaits the creatures that came after. Just as these ancient denizens passed through the searing wrath of the Triassic volcanism, only to face another violent demise delivered by a giant asteroid; so the ancient texts predicted a like spectacle for the humans when their time comes, known as the General Conflagration.
But, lo! The Creator, like every cinephile, savors the momentum of the story before it culminates. For when it comes to conflict, humans have been as action-packed as the animals, if not more so. Instead of wielding teeth and claws, they clashed with swords and lances of their own making. Just as cobras spray or inject venom to paralyze their prey, humans developed chemical weapons to poison one another. Just as bats and dolphins use echolocation to navigate and hunt, humans employ sonar to track submarines and mines. And just as snakes and owls rely on infrared or night vision to find prey in the dark, humans created night-vision goggles for combat under cover of night. Yet, conflicts can also be warped into a spectacle of excess, and what benevolent omnipresent being could have sat by and watched as defenseless civilians, women and children were savagely slain and ravished during these conflicts at any period of human history; or as the Nazis and Unit 731 performed their fiendish rites and experiments on live subjects. Unless powerless to intervene, those who have stood with the Creator in the face of these great indulgences of malevolence have been reckoned among the abettors of evil by the Council.
Service, sadism, glory (or ego), and generally anything that gives it pleasure. As the Bible summed it up conveniently, “…for thy pleasure they were created” (Revelation 4:11, KJV). As long as the masses are ignorant or kept superstitious, fearful of punishments, and have their reality distorted; they become sheep for the slaughter.
Pure, holy, and infallible are some of the common qualities the ignorant masses ascribed to their god(s). They are unable or unwilling to see that “the belief or faith that a being is benevolent” does not render it benevolent, any more than the unbelief in such a being would render it non-existent. Either a being is, in reality, benevolent or it isn’t. Another’s belief in one, or one’s written accounts about oneself, has no bearing whatsoever on one’s true nature. A “god” is, simply put, any being with despotic power. The word carries with it no connotations of benevolence, nor any noble qualities whatsoever; any more than the vain title of “honorable” confers to any politician any such quality. Belief in any being, high or low, is thus misplaced, given their complete absence of knowledge regarding the origins, personal history, and the true nature of such a being.
Unknown, but possibly exist. If this higher dimensional had no weaknesses, then what benefits would there be for another, especially one having a true intimate knowledge of the former, to have strived against it. But like every being in the higher dimensions, it is not subject to physical or elemental harms, nor is it encumbered by any imposed requirements such as water, air, temperature, sunlight, and other nutrients. It is probably bound to no rules of others, not even its own, such as those governing space and time; instead, it creates, warps, and interprets its own rules from its wildest urges and whims, and enforces them upon any being lower in the scale of power.
Ancient texts speculate that they were created by the Creator for the eternal service of the latter.
A being of eternal servitude bound to the Creator, attending to errands on the Creator’s behalf, such as unleashing scourges or pestilences. Though an angel is invisible to the lower dimensions, it is able to take on any forms it desires, man or beast, by uniting its ethereal form with atoms; by means of which it gains immersive interdimensional access.
Pure, holy, and infallible are some of the common qualities the ignorant masses ascribed to the angels.
Again, they are not infallible as the masses are wont to believe, who are readily charmed by false appearances and honeyed words. A radiant smile, a white raiment, a resonant celestial voice, and a countenance that shines forth to the perfect day; are naught but optics. These beings possess every capacity to sin as the masses, nay more, having not been schooled by trial and tribulation, they more swiftly resign themselves to monstrous deeds and unnatural pleasures of all sorts, under constant conditions, as alluded in Plato’s tale:
“…he who had the first choice came forward and in a moment, chose the greatest tyranny; his mind having been darkened by folly and sensuality…Now he was one of those who came from heaven, and in a former life had dwelt in a well-ordered State, but his virtue was a matter of habit only, and he had no philosophy. And it was true of others who were similarly overtaken, that the greater number of them came from heaven and therefore they had never been schooled by trial, whereas the pilgrims who came from earth having themselves suffered and seen others suffered were not in a hurry to choose. And owing to this inexperience of theirs…many of the souls exchanged a good destiny for an evil…” (πολιτεία, Book X)
Also see Nephilim.
Ancient texts speculate that it was created by the Creator for the eternal service of the latter, and was the former chief of the angelic beings.
An elusive character. Either a rebel who stands in resistance to the Creator, or an agent and fixer for the Creator who handles the dirty works that the Creator would prefer not getting its fingerprints on. Though an angelic being is invisible to the lower dimensions, it is able to take on any forms it desires, man or beast, by uniting its ethereal form with atoms; by means of which it gains immersive interdimensional access.
A perfidious and treacherous wretched; a monstrous being, like the black seadevil, that lurks in the dark, usually somewhere out of sight, or even out of reach, of ordinary people, for a vile purpose, and is clearly beyond redemption; a reprobate mind unable to bear the light of the aboveboard.
Often mis-attributed as “Lucifer” by the ignorant masses. As the illustrious theologian John Gill, who cross-referenced the ancient Targum, the Septuagint, the Ethiopian and other versions of the Bible, noted, there is no credible reference to the devil being “Lucifer.”
Ancient texts speculate that they were angelic beings created by God for the eternal service of the latter.
Devil’s confederate. Either a rebel who stands in resistance to the Creator, or an agent and fixer for the Creator who handles the dirty works that the Creator would prefer not getting its fingerprints on. Though an angelic being is invisible to the lower dimensions, it is able to take on any forms it desires, man or beast, by uniting its ethereal form with atoms; by means of which it gains immersive interdimensional access.
Devil’s minion. A perfidious and treacherous wretched; a monstrous being, like the black seadevil, that lurks in the dark, usually somewhere out of sight, or even out of reach, of ordinary people, for a vile purpose, and is clearly beyond redemption; a reprobate mind unable to bear the light of the aboveboard
Speculated to be the offsprings of the debauched angels who ravished women.
These angels, depraved libertines and pedophiliacs who procure unearthly carnal gratifications, had sired a debauched race of titans known as the Nephilims who terrorized the old world of men.
“…That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose...” (Genesis 6:2, KJV)
Worms of the offal and offscourings of the earth, the titans were debauched like their fathers, the vampiric angels who frolic in the glittery halls of the palace of heavenly bliss, and pamper themselves with the sadistic pleasures drawn from the depth of agonies of those lower in the scale of power who were forced into playing an uncertain game dictated by mechanical and providential Necessity and a hint of collateral effort. Meanwhile, these angelic beings can acquire anything on this floating rock with ease, be it power to rule over men, wealth, or any creature comforts of a great measure through spacetime event manipulation, ethereal film ‘eidola’ manipulation, or a permutation of such higher dimensional maneuvers.
The titans were born of the womb and were visible to humans of the Old World. They were not necessarily giants. It wasn’t so much about stature as it was about the higher dimensional power that they possessed and abused.
Not well understood by the masses.
Unknown
The Unknown God, or the Benevolent Council, is an alliance of benevolent higher dimensionals who struggled against the Creator and its maintainers since ancient times, having been long disturbed by his sadistic use of power. Power and Benevolence do not always concur. One may have the one but not the other. If the Council’s power fell short, they would not be able to intervene and effect benevolence to the intended degree.
Around 400 BC, Plato was blessed by the Council to derive the definitions of good and evil in a form digestible by man after making a rough ascent through dialectics. And when speaking of an evil being in the superlative sense, it is that which i) commits gratuitous acts of disharmony or disunity ii) with complete impunity, iii) and yet enjoys the reputation of a good being. The autonomy of the Creator will not be shackled by the fancies of the ignorant masses. It can and will do anything it pleases, benevolent or i) malevolent, ii) without consequence of any kind. And iii) by styling itself a glorious and impeccable being, and establishing a religious order or cult of personality, enforced by posthumous rewards and punishments, it is able to maintain an esteemed reputation among the impressionable lower beings. Like an alcon blue caterpillar, the charismatic Creator has made itself many blind and slavish followers who would believe anything out of the faintest ethereal films; and who are known for their maudlin and sentimental excesses. Many among them have fell for the narrative that there would be some kinds of posthumous rewards held in reserve on their behalf by some higher dimensional for their future retirement in some realm of bliss; whereas, it is only man’s superstitious or fanciful expectations, and subconscious passions or desires that have boarded them on this train of delusion from the start; or yet subscribed to the false belief that the malevolent feedback loop is a matter of their sin, which is invalid because that feedback loop was present in the times of the ancient creatures, eons before the advent of man.
No mainstream sentiment.
Speculated in ancient times to be benevolent, but remote and unreachable like some distant stars. The Unknown God has always been in a perfect state of ataraxia and peace, and therefore does not seek sadistic pleasure or glory of any kind.
