#scripture and prayer

And many are the ways in which I bless ye with Equality;

For I am He who severs thy soul at its Rightful Time,

And all men are Equal beneath my blade, as all grain is so beneath a reapers sickle.

For I am sleep, and shall come upon all as both gentle respite and fitful visions,

As both Terror and Peace, without favour.

For I am the First Thought and yet the Last Thought, and knowest I all things,

Through me, that which conceals itself may be revealed unto any.

For as I am sense, I am nonsense and madness, and I am Equally as both for ye who pursue genius.

Pursue me, and I shall guide ye through spaces that thou wouldst not have conceived.

Though Blind are my eyes, my Gaze is sightless not,

For all things lie within my Second Sight, and knowest I all that which may be, and which has come to pass;

By my Mercy shall ye be judged, as I hold the record of all Thoughts and Deeds and Choices, and it is I who shall declare them. Ye who carries a Righteous Heart shall I grant deliverance, yet ye who embraces corruption I shall scorn;

Thus thou must seeketh me for atonement, and there find redemption, for I am Acquittal.

I shall become asylum to those in need and offer respite from thy suffering, and regeneration to the aged;

For I am mercy, and sanctuary is mine own, which I shall offer to the worthy.

I am the blanket which Shrouds the Sun,

And suspends the silver Stars and Moon, as much the Shadow at midday as the Darkness of the night.

I am the Dimness that hunts the Light, and in turn is repelled by its Quarry,

And I snatch thy sight as I proceed, and shroud thee with my presence, yet I grant ye Vision and Sense, and open the way to Clarity, as through me ye shall awaken thy Awareness.

I am the Night, and by my Will and Grace shall ye chart the stars in their mansions and reveal that which is to come; I shall teach ye the influence of the Celestial, and ye shall break such bonds.

I am the Shadow which comforts ye, and abandons not thy side, even with the coming of Dawn,

I am the Shade which casts protection over ye, and grants ye Shelter; I am He who draws away thy negativity, and the Spite directed against thee.

I nullify thy Taint of Corruption, and guard ye from unholy desire; I shall deliver ye from falsehood and guide ye to truth, for I am Purity.

And yet still! I am the Voiceless, who echoes in multitudes, yet whispers as the unyielding silence.

I am the maddening stillness and unchanging peace, ceaseless and unending, stretching ever beyond thee;

Reflecting on are my facets, and my image permanent, as with my manifold expressions.

I am age, and through me thou shall grow and change,

Through me thou shall be wounded, shall heal and grow strong; I am the challenge all must face, I am the Lesson and the Teacher, just as I am Sacrifice;

For I am He who is Time.

I am pleasure as I am pain, and all sensation; I am the scent of flame, as I am the meal cooked upon it.

I am the Wilderness, and He who Tames it, for both are the Forces which lie within my boundaries, both are the Mysteries of my Names. Yea, I am the Crop, and the Farmer who tends it,

I am the huntsman as also I am the quarry; I am the Satyr and the Centaur,

I am the Man and the Beast.

For I am he who has given shape to Empires, as I have lead them to Victory in battle, and as I have heralded their return to Ashes and Mud,

That again they may be crafted to new purpose, as am I not the Spirit of the Era?

Boundless am I, yet behold! My boundaries also shall define me,

For alone I am Formless and beyond thy recognition; alone, I surpass thy understanding.

I am the Potter and I am the Clay,

I am the Blacksmith and the Blade he Forges;

For I am He who is the Form and He who casts it, the Shape and the Shaper.

I am the soft sighing Breath, and I am the rhythmic drumming heart beat,

I am the streams of Sweat, Tears and Blood from thy exertion,

Yea, I am within ye, as I am without;

I am Movement and song, a chorus of Motion and Desire, urging ye on,

Much as I am the sleeping Seed beneath the earth, yet to Sprout;

Through me all things must be achieved,

For I am the Pulse of Life.

I am the first Lights of Dawn, and receding Rays of Dusk,

As also I am the colourful birds which praise my arrival;

I am the Golden Glow which Illuminates and bathes the earth in warmth,

I am the Shinning Soul, the Day Bringer, and it is I who shall guide thy toils,

By my grace, I shall grant ye sight,

For I am She, who is the jewelled dew and the pure snow, as also She who is a howling tempest or mighty river; yea, within me lies an ocean.

For I am She, who is the flickering ember and smouldering ash, as also She who is a roaring flame or seething volcano; yea, within me lies an inferno.

For I am She, who is soothing zephyr and fresh gust, as also She who is the screeching hurricane and biting wind; yea, within me lies a typhoon.

For I am She, who is the fertile soil and glittering gemstone, as also She who is the blinding sand, and tremorous quake; yea, within me lies chasm.

I am the fragment and the whole, yet broken I am not for by the division I am transformed; I am both Elementment and Spirit, yet diminished by neither. Ever am I Complete and Completed.

I caution ye, seek me not in ignorance, for have I not slain with my gaze alone? Dost not my laughter shatter ye? Is it not the beating of my heart unbearable?

Even obscured behind veils of flame and radiance and lightning, the songs uttered by my lips shall cast torment upon he of foul intent, and those wicked in deed and heart shall know no greater despair than to gaze upon my terrible beauty.

For however cloaked by an eternity of hidden light and sparks, flasheth mine eyes with a fury unknowable to man, and smitten shall be the acurssed one, who has come forth with evil thoughts.

Yet, also there is no greater peace than that which is for be who seekest me in wisdom and with purity, for he shall know me in my glory, and shall have joy and harmony beyond compare. Surely, ye must know my nature is Paradoxical; As I am Chaos, thus also I am Harmony.

I am She, the Queen of Eternity, the Infinite Lady, and alone it is mine Judgements that have shaped Creation and its Cycles. Yet even as such may be, alone I am not, in my totality, and to know me, ye must also know thus.

I am He who is the Law and He who is Lawless, and She who is beyond them both.

I am He who is the Light and He who is the Shadows, and She who is beyond them both.

I am He who is the Dance and He who is the Stillness, and She who is beyond them both.

I am He who is the Voice and He who is the Silence, and She who is beyond them both.

I am He who is the Instinct and He who is the Intellect, and She who is beyond them both.

For, verily, they are Within me, yet ye must seek me Without.

Behold, for within my depths, are hidden all things, concealed beyond my ceaseless mysteries.

For I am innocence when also I am the slayer of men, and certainly, destined am I to destroy all that I love. I am the mother of the one who would destroy me, yet only when slain shall I be born. And chaste am I, though both mistress and lover, for not act of love without me can be; verily, I am at the heart of all passion and dedication, as I am at the heart of Faith.

Yet, by these alone, unreachable am I, even if thou seeketh; by these alone, thou cannot obtain me. Yet by these alone your path hath been forged.

Find ye the Will of the Lion, the Wit of the Hermit, The Strength of the Ox, and the Spirit of the Falcon. Find ye the Eagle of Ascension, that Great Star, and conquer ye thy spark.

Await ye, for thy trial shall come, the Light of Judgement shall fall upon and ur shall be reforged in Fountains of Fire, and he shall break free from the Shackles of Heimarmene.
