The All

Imagine a vastness spanning to the ends of your imagination. Try to comprehend the size and complexity of all things, large and small. See, if you can, the oceans of time that have created and destroyed throughout all known eras. You cannot, for humanity has yet to evolve to the point of clarity necessary for the fantastic vision and understanding necessary to comprehend the All.

If I could explain the All, I would be a genius. But I am not. If I could teach you the ways of the All, I would live comfortably in wealth. I cannot. If I were to teach you how to control the mind so that the All may likewise be tapped of strength, you would have power. But I will not.

What I can say, what I will say, what will be said is how the All is in your life, and how the All is your life. It is my hope that we may learn that the end to our lives is the twilight on the dawn of existence, and that all things are of beauty. Perhaps by my writing this, you may learn to gain the enlightenment I do not have.

Us and the Existence

The scope of vision of man is that of a flea attempting to see to Mars by the sight of its own naked eye when compared to the futile efforts of man to envision the All. Its eye cannot possibly encompass all of the detail, nor will its mind rationalize the comparison of age and size. This is because the flea will neither live as long as a planet exists, nor is it equal in dimension.

We are minuscule in the grand scheme of the All. Mechanically speaking, we are as insignificant in person as a grain of sand is to an ocean. We are not the integral part of the All, we are simply a component, or possibly a creation thereof. Life was made by the All, however. This in all of my observance, is an unconscious decision.

Look at your body. Study its mechanisms and intricate workings. We are, as the Christians say, made in God's image. The All is comparable to your body. It creates, destroys, and can be destroyed. You have systems, which are made of organs. They are made of tissue, which are made of cells. Your cells are small, which are made of atoms and they in turn of quarks. We are quarks in the body of the All.

The All has existed for many years. How many, I cannot know. I was created in a time span. The All is apparently timeless. It constantly recreates its body many times and, as a certainty, destroys its body as well.

The All has neither feeling nor emotion. Not on the level that we may experience these things. It simply creates, destroys, and exists. If it does more than this, we do not know what, and presumption would only cloud vision.

Law and Relations

The laws of the universe may be known to you through scientific research and man's developed knowledge. The laws of men likewise may be known through upbringing within a particular society. The law of the All is certainly known as you are created just as certainly as the rest of the animals are -- with imbibed knowledge of survival.

What you do in daily life is a natural response to outside stimuli. Al that is necessary to be known for familial relationships are to be learned from the parents, friends, and enemies. Personal experience is the only universally correct teacher, and that may not be taught.

However, there are three concepts I shall share which are vital, as a carrier of Truth:

1. Be discreet in the sharing of thought.... if others cannot figure it out, perhaps they should not know.
2. Magick is not only a tool, it is a tradition. Like all traditions, guard it.
3. The knowledge of others is not your knowledge. Be open to new innovations, and closed to the damaging thoughts of those who would lie.

Consider that you were created by the All. That you are an animal. What all animals and all living creatures possess is an instinct. An instilled purpose. You have this as well. There is no law higher than instinct.

Consider what we have done as a collective people. This would not be achieved were it not for our instincts. All failures and triumphs are achieved through potential. We do what we are designed for. Do not regret this.

The Return

We experience two absolutes as humans. Birth, and death. Birth is the formation of matter into "us," and death is the breakdown of this matter into its original form.... energy.

The breakdown of our matter, us as individuals, is the Return. Whether conscious or not, we all become a part of the All post-mortem.

The Return may be summarized in an analogy: "If water were to crystallize into its solid state, ice, it would take on individual qualities, size, shape, mass, etc. When the temperature warms this solid state of matter, the ice breaks down and becomes water again. We are ice, and death is the warmth that returns us to our former state."
