#in the god creation plan

[dreampearls]

please let them meet

when the god was made in the image of a man who infiltrated the mind of said god and in doing so made himself intertwined with the form that god took while also being the cause of that form creating a infinite feedback loop of what caused the god and his creator to evoke the very image of the death the creator feared through the form of an animal representing that concept, and the god has faint, undeniably human characteristics given to him by his creator while his creator retained none of it. fuck

I feel like The Father and Hell both understand and experience love in all the worst ways.

The Father sought to create a life form that would follow and love him unconditionally. It wasn't enough that he had a great cosmic kingdom of angels who are unquestioningly loyal, no, he needed something that knew suffering and mortality and the threat of oblivion, and would still find love at the end; love for him above all else. But after numerous implied failures at that, in his desperation, he instead created the threat of eternal damnation to force them to love him in order avert that fate. Lucifer's words must have been like a splash of cold water, but by the time he realized sheer magnitude of suffering he had unintentionally set into motion, it was too late. He could not destroy Hell; he could not stop the cycle of violence.

That guilt drove him to seek a death that, from the looks of it, eluded him in spite of the hollowness consuming him. And now he is... somewhere, helpless to stop his experiments from consuming one another and themselves in a glorious show of blood and violence.

And then there's Hell itself, who seems to recognize love as an act of violence and cruelty. It is something that derives joy only from the suffering of other living creatures. God gave it so many toys to hurt and break and reform, and Mankind gave it new ones. Why would it understand love as anything but? It gave Minos a facsimile of the son he is most ashamed of, and delighted when he cast it, once more, into a labyrinth. Gabriel flattened all the souls within it's confines beneath his heel and gave those that did bend false hopes.

Now there's V1, tearing its way through the remaining layers and creating a spectacle of violence like nothing Hell has ever witnessed before. How could it not love them all for all the entertainment they've provided?

But deep within its recesses, hidden away from the eyes of Heaven, there was a Gutterman. A machine built for war, who eventually came to love that which it gave it life at the cost of their own. Enough to give the human welded within their coffin the mercy that both Heaven and Hell had denied them; enough to write a single love letter to them, even knowing that it would never be read by its intended recipient.

So, as things turn out, you /can/ teach a machine to love. And they will understand and experience it more sincerely than God or Hell ever could.

do you ever think about how aziraphale fell in love with crowley because of his love for the earth; and crowley falls in love with the earth because of his love for aziraphale?

i think about it often actually.

God scattered the nations at Babel..

We can see the amazing similarities between the nations and cultures, which shows a common connection. Not by evolution do people who have never seen each other, create such similar architecture, worship similar gods, have similar traditions etc. The odds of that would be staggering. People didn't share a common ancestor such as taught in evolution, but they did share a common past and the same Creator. The evidence is there. And the Bible backs it up.

So in ur book it is implied, though not explicitly stated that when Lucifer fell to the earth, he lighted up in flames and the impact he made on landing killed all the “beasts” that lived on the earth (when i read i assumed were the dinosaurs)

Fun fact: the Chicxulub asteroid that killed the dinos landed in Mexico, specifically in the Yucatan Peninsula, where it left a crater of about 111-125 miles in diameter. Damn. Lucifer fell hard.

Kinda odd tho, his fall effectively wiped out the life on earth, making way for God’s newest creation, which is mankind. Could it be that this was all premeditated? 🤔

Yup!! He killed the dinosaurs!!! Fun fact: my agent thought that was absolutely hysterical ans I still think it's the silliest thing in the book. Everytime I remember it, I literally laugh aabhsjsj

Also I'm actually well aware of that! I've studied Mesoamerica quite a bit and the crater is actually fairy important to the geography of the Yucatan peninsula and, by virtue of that, the ancient Maya civilization. Because of this, I like to say Lucifer would live in the Yucatan in modern times, though it doesn't really make much sense hahaha

Lastly, I do think it was premeditated, but in the way everything was premeditated. I think there's dual forces in God of premeditation and free will; and I think it's similar in the way humans crave both spontaneity and fixed plans/routines. (On that note, I think God is a bit like an artist/writer in having a plan, but it keeps changing right before your eyes. You had plans for your characters, but now they seem to be doing their own thing.) But I think God knew Lucifer would fall and knew he'd make humans. And he knew the first would lead to the second.

This is a big theological puzzle that I can't solve, but maybe my little thoughts will give you some insight asjslsjs I'm sorry if I've only come across as confusing

Still unwell about Rilke and PH

I love the dark hours of my being.

My mind deepens into them.

There I can find, as in old letters,

the days of my life, already lived,

and held like a legend, and understood.

Then the knowing comes: I can open

to another life that's wide and timeless.

So I am sometimes like a tree

rustling over a gravesite

and making real the dream

of the one its living roots

embrace:

a dream once lost

among sorrows and songs.

One feels inclined to say that the intention that man should be 'happy' is not included in the plan of 'Creation.'

Personal, death tw

My friend who was killed made the news? Its so bizarre to see her name in the news for this reason. She was always brilliant so her name should have been in the news for something like building new rocket parts or rovers for nasa like she'd always dreamed of, googling her name shouldn't lead to articles about her death or them arresting the guy who hit her or him trying to get out on bail and maybe flee the country. Right now I'm just trying to support her family in their strive for justice, while also dealing with my emotions, and it's all just feels so bizarre. No one tells you how bizarre grief can feel. She deserved so much better than this.

But thank you so much to everyone for your condolences and prayers, I truly appreciate it!
