The soul-creation event described in the last article definitely looked real, which poses a question: is that how it always works, or is it an exception? Also, if it’s an exception, what other ways are there?

Let’s get the obvious out of the way: the Gods already existed at that point, and there was a whole history behind them, which means this is not the first generation of souls.

Is creation of souls a thing that happens only when a localised presence of dharma weakens the veil between the Relative and the Absolute to the point where new souls precipitate from the space itself; I don’t know. Honestly, before I saw this myself, or relived the memory of seeing it myself, I didn’t know it’s a thing, and if you asked me, I would have said that it’s possible but I don’t know how likely it is. Obviously, the major Gods like the four described are the very peak of Creation and they have reality-bending, or -breaking, properties. If they manifest the Creation itself, you can imagine that all kinds of extreme phenomena are possible when they are together and they do things that invoke and concentrate their essence and powers. If they disapprove of something, it tends to disappear from existence. If they strongly approve of something, it tends to get magnified and brought into prominence. I described their interaction in human terms and translated them to human language, but those beings are not human. I don’t think I have words that properly convey the order of magnitude. Also, they can feel very human if they want to, more human than any human being has a right to be, but they are arbiters of reality; faces, persons and names of the Nameless, Unmanifested Absolute. The Christians will envision God in form of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, one God with three persons, and I will envision Him as the unmanifested, impersonal, all-encompassing Absolute on one side of the veil, and those two married couples on the Relative side, four persons that are One True God. I don’t think there’s even a question of which one of them is greater – they are all The Supreme God, who doesn’t seem to be an atheist, and seems to find purpose and fulfilment in worship of other persons of God, because worship is how you speak truth about the pinnacle of Reality. To speak of Them in terms other than worship is to slander them, and that is a sin. Sin kills souls.

I know some feminist-minded people are asking why didn’t the women say anything. Well, first of all, unlike the feminists, who are all weak, evil and mentally ill, the Goddesses are omnipotent and immensely “together” in a mental sense. When God is praising your husband, you don’t interrupt, you don’t interfere, and you don’t add to perfection. When your husband is praising God, you don’t interrupt, you don’t interfere, and you don’t add to perfection. If you have nothing to say, you don’t speak out of insecurity just to hear your own voice and let others know that you exist, because you fear that otherwise they would forget. One can’t forget the huge concentration of God-stuff that wields reality out of nothing, creates time and space, or alters reality in order to focus, magnify or diminish realities, beings and destinies. The Goddesses feel like women, but they also feel like powers of such magnitude that reality breaks in their presence and normal beings can’t even think in terms of what they truly are. When brahman (a term for the highest of truths) is spoken, a Goddess smiles and nods, thus affirming it and making it grow. When untruth, malediction or slander is spoken, a Goddess frowns, thus opposing and rejecting it, and reality changes to destroy the evil and cancel it out of existence. That’s the thing with omnipotence: if you like something, it becomes and grows. If you don’t like something, it goes away. Only the weak and insecure need to make lots of noise, that ends up amounting to nothing. Finally, the Goddesses are wives. The more a human woman approaches dharma in her life, the more she can identify with how a Goddess feels about her husband, what her priorities are, and how she perceives herself and her role. The more a human woman goes insane and evil, the more she would have a problem with it. Basically, to even think in a way that approaches feminism is to insult a Goddess, and that doesn’t end well for you, to put it mildly, since a Goddess makes such things go away. If you’re a Goddess, the only thing that matters in the whole world is your Lord. You are his; his power, his glory, his magnificence. To be submissive to him is to have meaning and purpose. The only way to be truly yourself is to be his. So, when he is praised by God, you are so happy you couldn’t speak even if there were anything to say. When your husband is praised, your feeling of self is magnified and your true being is pure happiness. That’s what being a Goddess means. You are the Power and Glory of God. When a God is praised by God, his Power and Glory are magnified. When a God is praised by a lesser being, however, that lesser being’s reality, self-ness, truth, power and glory are magnified; the God remains unchanged. That answers the question of godless people who ask what does an omnipotent God get out of having humans worship him? The answer is: absolutely nothing; the humans, however, stand to gain absolutely everything. They can become real, eternal, meaningful and glorious, finding their true self and purpose. The only thing that actually affects a God is truth spoken about him or her by another God.

So, as it appears, Gods seem to “reproduce” by praising each other’s greatness to the point where the veil between the Absolute and Relative realities starts to falter. Are those new souls children of the Gods? In a way, probably, but not in a human way. They are also their brothers and sisters, born out of the Absolute. Human analogies don’t hold here.

However, souls seem to be created also in other, less glorious ways, and in this world the physical incarnation itself seems to aggregate karmic substance in ways that seem to persist and you get “smoky” astral stuff that looks like some kind of a soul, but I’m not actually sure it qualifies, unless it passes an initiation where it becomes of eternity. Those things are complicated and it’s very hard to say that they work in a certain way, because there’s so much diversity in how it all takes place. So, I’ll just shrug and state the obvious: Satan came to exist somehow, and honestly, he didn’t look like one of those sparks created in the mutual respect and worship of the Great Lords and Ladies of Creation. He looked like a maggot that would try to bite their foot in spite. He looked like someone who would frown at the concept of them praising each other, finding it disgusting and degrading, because he wouldn’t bow before anyone or praise anyone: that would be so cringy and degrading. He would want to verbally degrade others and see them humiliated and cowering before him, feeling terrible while he feels empowered by being able to make them feel terrible.

You see how easily you sympathise with him, and how much like him you are? That’s not an accident; that’s your spiritual emptiness manifesting its symptoms, the way it did for him. Spiritual fulness speaks in language of devotion, belonging and worship. Emptiness speaks in terms of power dynamics.
