A fleeting thought

Post » Wed Aug 18, 2010 4:08 pm

Despite CHIM's message of rising above the mythic conflict of Order and Chaos or whatnot, the actual practice of CHIM seems awfully Anuic from what I understand. After all, you are realizing that everything is really all one thing (an Anuic perspective), but maintaining your own individuality at the same time.

Could this be the perfection of Anu? Existing outside of existence. All thought and self erased and isolated at the same time. If so, then what would be the perfection of Padomay? Complete erasure of self through individuality? All thought and self isolated and then erased. Existing as part of a void, while not nullifying that void by existing.


Or am I thinking on too basic a level?

I think CHIM has an important Padomaic element - you have to be able to differentiate yourself from the All, and that's a dividing 'IS NOT' operation. At the same time, the Anuic element unites the I and the All.

CHIM is being the Godhead, both Anu and Padomay combined

Which is neither. All names/possabilities are subordinate to you, and so you are a letter written in uncertainty. Its supposed to be "perfection".

Edit: Sorry Dagon, let me try again. Perfection/Flawlessness is total and all-encompassing, therefore there's no perfection of Anu or Padomay.

Yeah, I thought I was thinking on too low a level. Thanks.

No worries Mehrunes Dagon. You're only just a daedric prince. It was predictable you would ask such a thing :shifty:

Aw, but who's the cutest gentle giant who loves engaging in eastern sophistry?
