"Void, Nihilism, Nullum, Vacuum, That which has a name but no material presence, That which is but a concept; yet a foundation, A theorem - a proposition of the deluded, He who was ever there, Ever present, omnipotent, omniscient, yet not omnipresent. Inexistent, yet all that exists..." The first verse from a series of poems I wrote to try and decode the insane ramblings inside my mind. Written about 4 years ago as I came to form my own path. The full poem is very is quite long, and there are many more pages of different poems describing the 3 Prime Stages of Existence. This describes the first stage, and the last, which are Void. The cycle as I have theorised goes as follows: Void > Delusion > Void. The current stage we are in is the delusion, and when we pass we re-enter the void. To channel and praise the void through us reminds us of our insignificance. However this doesn't have to be sad. To accept this is the most important stage in the decoding of the delusion. We ARE insignificant, yet within resides the entirety of existence. Which, in of itself is insignificant. To give things value is to delve further into the delusion. We, the creators and preceptors, must realise our very nature, as this is the first step to attaining the Black Flame of Knowledge. I've once heard my beliefs be referred to as "Glorifed, enchanced Nihilism and Solipsism". This, is actually quite accurate. I have given a purpose to that which defeats purpose through the purpose of decoding and defeating reality. A paradoxical thought, no? The Black Sun is Rising, Greet the New Age, Brothers and Sisters. -SynodicOracle
