The 36 Lessons of Vivec: Sermon Negative One

Post » Sat Dec 29, 2012 7:28 pm

This is the Third of the Velothi which has begun its journey through the MYRIAD stars and landed itself EAST, far east, farther east than any stars could ever wound, yet star-wounded regardless.

It finds itself in a place wherein to its mind the DRAGON coils wildly around himself and his partner, the SERPENT, who frantically spazzes every which way, including those ways which cannot be gone.

Of course this is just the rationale of the nomad lost, using the words of its world to describe what such is not.

The Third makes its way and it crosses its own path a number of times equal to the walking ways in a span of time measuring that number of Akas, though subjectively hours.

Through its journey it passes within many of the realms made to be from the dead, ever shifting.

In these it meets many who in totality would regail upon it a tale of those who are made to be prisoner within their own worlds, and yet break free and find themselves gods.

And it is inspired by these tales, and seeks its own way to be free from its WORLD-PRISON, though it does not yet know it already is.

It memorizes the SACRED OBJECTS which it would name thus: That-Which-Brings-Forth-Blankness, That-Which-Carves-Knowledge, That-Which-Reads-Empty-Words, That-Which-Records-Material.

It finds its own realm in the paradoxes, its own memories of its own lands, and remembers the sacred objects.

Bowing to each and utilizing each in turn it begins to turn the key on the lock of its imagined prison and with one final fifth bow towards the Glowing-Blankness-That-Consumes and a somersault the key is turned and its position changed.

It now finds itself in a place wherein to its mind the Dragon and Serpent lie straight and orthogonal.

And so it can make its way and journey, though harrowing and difficult, to find the APOCRYPHAL DREAMER and wake him up.

More keys are found and made to unlock multitudes, wherein it can, in time, see all.

It finds what it sees wanting, and so it continues, and when the Apocryphal Dreamer is awoken, the Third Chooses to die.

But both know the true meaning of this, that to die in the proper fashion is to ASCEND.

And so the Third rises and is named as LORD OF STARS, and god, who would bring the Light of the light of its aspect upon the world.

This done it makes its way once again, retracing its steps backwards exactly, and when it finds itself just outside the world it makes the proper motions of the bones and reaches out from its egg all its limbs and features.

The ending of the words is not quite ALMSIVI.
