God in all things, all things in God
I am a human. My body and identity are whole, a united being. When I talk about myself I am referring to the sum of my parts, which are greater than themselves.
But I am composed of smaller living beings. Inside me there are bacteria, and fungi. There are mites living on my face. My body is composed of individual cells. My organs carry out unique roles in my bodily ecosystem. My heart is alive. My stomach is alive. My brain is alive.
God, the Dao, the Universe, are whole the way I am whole. They are also composed of smaller parts. Everything exists in a fractal relationship to itself.
So to me there is little distinction between monotheism and polytheism. It's just what aspect of existence you are choosing to emphasize in a moment. Universal truth can be accessed in the worship of the spirit of a single river, and appreciation for the spirits of all things can be accessed in the worship of God as a single entity.
If God and the Universe are the same, and they exist as a single body, then worshipping the heart (or a lesser deity) is simply a focused appreciation of the whole. We would not understand or appreciate the meaning of a heart, if it did not exist in a broader context. What is the function of a heart, if not to pump blood to other places throughout the whole body? And what is the function of lungs, if not to provide oxygen for the blood pumped by the heart? Meaning arises and is defined through relationships.
Am I God to my cells? Do they worship me as the sum of their creation and existence? Do they know that I am in them, as much as they are in me?
And do I worship God or the Dao as the sum of my creation and existence with a community of others? Do I know that God is in me, as much as I am in God?
#god as in higher truth#god as in dao#god as in the way of life and death#it's fun to be embedded in the web of all things

As I'm replaying Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 and Dragon Age: Inquisition, I'm going to use the conversation toolkit each time and in each area that Elven is used in the series.
I've already found several bits of elven that are not on the wiki at all. And for many of the text that never had a translation before, there are translations in the localization comments.
I did a poll on twitter asking people if they thought this was good enough evidence to update the elven wiki, and got a 99% yes answer, so I updated the dragon age elven wiki, with an explanation in the /talk section. (Anyone can open Origins dialogue tree files in the DA Toolkit and see that these translated comments are in their own version of Origins)
All of this to say, we finally can say we know the canon words for "mother" and "no" and "brother" and "sister" in elven in Dragon Age. And several new long phrases.
Ghostly Boy in the Lair of the Undead in Dragon Age: Origins
"Mamae? Mamae na mara san…" VO/Localization Comment: the young boy is crying pitifully, he asks "mah-MAY?" in a hopeful manner and then says "mah-MAY nah-MAH-rah san" hoplessly (as if saying "mother is gone")
"Mamae! Mamae, se vara sal!" VO/Localization Comment: phonetically: mah-MAY! mah-MAY! suh VAH-rah sawl! he is calling out for his mother as he says this, crying pitifully
"Mamae! Mamae! Mamae!" VO/Localization Comment: The child begins calling out in a strange language for someone. He begins to sob uncontrollably and shouts louder. "mah-MAY" = mother
shade in the Lair of the Undead in Dragon Age: Origins
"Ma halani! Se vara lassa'val! Nae mal!" VO/Localization Comment: the elf is caling for help, terrified, and then screams and calls on her gods to save her. phonetic breakdown: mah hah-LAWN-ee! suh VARE-ah luh-suh-VAHL! nay mahl! The last phrase "nay mahl" should be shrieked in terror as the elf turns and run
ghostly elf in the Lair of the Undead in Dragon Age: Origins
"Viran se lan'aan? Ir annala for ros…" VO/Localization Comment: "Who are you? I cannot see you…" veer-AHN suh lah-NAWN? Eer ah-NAH-lah fohr rohs… said hesitantly -- she cannot quite make out the player
"Nae! Ga rahn s'dael! Ga rahn!" VO/Localization Comment: "No! Get away from me! Get away!" Nay! Gah rawn suh-DALE! Gah rawn! Suddenly realizes that the player is an enemy, terrified, backed into a corner
"Ir emah'la shal! Ir emah'la shal!" VO/Localization Comment: "I will kill you! I will kill you!" eer ay-MAY-la shahl! eer ay-MAY-la shahl! she turns on the player in terror, savagely attacking him (combat begins)
#Dragon Age#Dragon Age: Origins#playing DAO#elf hell#inquisition spelunking#this is how I'm replaying Dragon Age#there's also a mention of Mythal being a god of vengeance in the comments too .... hmmm
