THIS IS PHENOMENAL TRUTH!

“God sent an evil spirit”

Read that again. How does that sit with you? Can and will a good and loving God direct evil spirits as part of His divinely purposed orchestrations?

A month ago, I abruptly paused at this truth while reading Judges 9. Two weeks later, I encountered the phrase again when reading 1 Samuel. It’s a direct copy and paste from God’s Word, and it was most assuredly a “Wait … What!?!” moment for me.

“God sent an evil spirit …” Judges 9:23

“An evil spirit sent from the Lord …” 1 Samuel 16:14

“Whenever the spirit from God …” 1 Samuel 16:23

“… an evil spirit sent from God …” 1 Samuel 18:10

“Now an evil spirit sent from the Lord …” 1 Samuel 19:9

As with any scripture, context is essential. What was happening? Who was involved? What was the result? In these scripture verses, God directed the (small “s”) spirit to thwart the plans of the enemy, to obtain justice against an evil act, to incite a change of behavior, and/or to create distance between the person filled with God’s Spirit and a person not in alignment with the plan, purpose and will of God.

Within the context of each scripture verse, the evil spirit was restricted to carrying out specific instructions given by God. The spirit had no free reign, nor could Satan interfere, expand or cancel God’s directives. Imagine that … the father of all lies, the one who seeks to kill, steal and destroy … even Satan’s own minions had (and have) to follow the directives of God. What a tremendous testimony to the sovereign authority of the One who created and still commands all.

Often, we casually assign spiritual warfare to negative challenges and barriers coming against us. We give acknowledgement to the enemy for the circumstances in our lives or the less than desirable behaviors seen in others, that we discern as ungodly. If we are truly honest, we often place God in a box defined by our own understanding.

But what if that box’s walls are limiting our own growth and transformation? What if God is actually the one hardening a heart, as he did to pharaoh? What if God is the one actually allowing the testing and trials, as he did with Job? What if God is the one orchestrating the evil spirit to accomplish his ultimate plan for good in your life?

It's at this point that we have the choice to either lean in or lean out. We have a choice to focus not on the circumstances, but rather on the God who has the sovereign authority to orchestrate every detail for our ultimate good. Leaning in means praying for God-bestowed wisdom and discernment to gain what He intends for us. It’s trusting that regardless of where that evil spirit is taking its orders from, God is the one who has the final and supreme say in the outcomes of our situations.

Joseph epitomized this understanding after having multiple plans for destruction plotted against him by his own brothers. Joseph faced a choice to either lean in or lean out in Genesis 50. He could have harbored bitterness, held grudges, and chosen destruction for his family. “But Joseph said to them, ‘You planned evil against me; God planned it for good to bring about the present result …” Genesis 50:22

In the end, does it really matter if it’s the enemy who brought the evil spirit into your path, or God? What matters is where you focus your eyes and attention because only God has ultimate rule and sovereign authority over all. Anchor yourself on Him. Wait well on Him.

In the dawn’s gilded embrace, where light unfurls its splendor, My brush, akin to a sovereign’s touch, commands the realm of art. Roses ascend in the fervor of wine’s deep allure, Each flourish a testament to our clandestine, opulent bond.

In the still sanctuary of early morn’s twilight, Your essence flourishes in the palace of my thoughts. With each stroke, I conjure not merely roses, But the very spirit of you, the sovereign bloom in my violet domain.

In wine’s sumptuous grasp, my roses pirouette, Their petals, like velvet secrets, sigh against the parchment. I evoke your presence, my muse, with a monarch’s fervor, A delicate, sensual blossom, within this noble frame.

Your image, a siren call, courses through my veins, Each flourish a sonnet, penned in royal crimson. The roses blush with vitality, their essence fills the air, As I trace the contours of your visage, tender and true.

The parchment transforms into a realm, where passion reigns supreme, Each petal, a verse in our regal romance. My fingers, adorned with desire, move with stately grace, Depicting the allure of you, my heart’s eternal enchantment.

In this intimate ballet, where roses and wine converge, Your beauty ascends, a vision of the divine. The violet domain of my heart, forever enshrined, With the delicate, vibrant essence of you, my love, so fine.

In the splendor of this painted reverie, We dance, entwined, in shades both rich and rare. My roses, born of wine and whispered dreams, Bloom eternally, as I capture you, my muse, in this royal affair.

ISLAM 101: Spirituality in Islam: Part 214

Hayah (Life)

Hayah, which can be translated as liveliness and being alive, means that a heart which is already dead because of ignorance, misguidance and disbelief, comes to life through belief, and knowledge and love of God. The verse (6:122), He who was dead (in spirit), and We raised him to life, and set for him a light by which he moves among people without any deviation, makes this point clear.

The scholars of truth regard life as being when one is freed from the imprisonment of the body and corporeality and rises to the level of the life of the heart and spirit. The aspect of this favor which is represented by the master of the creatures, upon him be peace and blessings, who, although an individual, gained universality, can be seen in the verse (42:52), Thus, We have revealed to you from Our (world of) Command (the Qur’an as) a spirit (promising life to the hearts). The aspect which concerns all others who promise life is indicated in the verse (8:24): O you who believe! Respond to God and to the Messenger when the Messenger calls you (in the name of God) to that which gives you life.

The life of the earth, with all its revival and instances of growth and flourishing, is essentially related to the soil and its content, water with its vitality, air and the gases contained in the air. Similarly, true human life is dependent on the knowledge of truth, a strong will-power and endeavor, a sound character and good morals, a deep desire for God’s company, and rejoicing at the awareness of such a great favor. All these together serve as a runway or ramp from which to rise up to the realm where souls fly and reach the eternal life.

The earth derives all its riches from the source described in (16:65): God sends down from (the direction of) the sky a kind of water and therewith revives the earth after its death; in (50:11): We have revived with that water a dead land, and so is coming forth (from the graves); and in (21:30): We have made every living thing from water. Likewise, dead souls exposed to a dearth of faith, and lack of knowledge and of love of God, are revived through belief; they begin to feel what life really means through their knowledge of God, they dive into its depths through love, and attain a full life through resolution, will-power and determination. Then, as long as initiates realize the goal of Follow God’s way of acting[1] under the guidance of the supreme exemplar of good morals, the one who is praised in the verse (68:4), Surely you are of the best morals, they attain God’s company in the infinite air in which they beat their wings, and feel constant gratitude and enthusiasm. When the time is due, they feel so expanded with the rapture of being in God’s Presence that it is as if they transcended the limits of time and space and been favored with the rank, When I love My servant, I become his hearing with which He sees and his sight with which he hears and his hand with which he holds and his feet with which he walks.[2] Their spirits continue, by the Power of the All-Powerful Sovereign, flying toward eternity in the Gardens of Paradise, the Presence of the Lord of the Worlds, and the company of the Most Compassionate of the Compassionate.

In this rank, which is the essence of true life, there is neither death nor decay. Death and decay only occur with respect to the carnal self and corporeality, and there is permanence with respect to the heart, spirit and other spiritual faculties. This permanence is also viewed as “self-annihilation in God” and “subsistence by Him.”

There are three breaths in the life of an initiate who has reached this degree: the breath of fear, the breath of expectation, and the breath of love. As the carnal self fulfils an important mission on behalf of corporeality and the body, fear, expectation, and love are each an important dynamic for the life of the spirit and heart. Always feeling fear and love of Him causes the conscience of the initiate to feel an overflowing pleasure by far greater than what a child feels upon seeking refuge in the arms of the mother who has just chided him. Thinking of Him as the All-Compassionate, All-Loving Lord, and considering the depth of His Mercy, is such a spiritual pleasure that if it were to take on a physical form, it would appear like a Garden of Paradise. Finding or reading His Names on the face of His works, breathing His Attributes on the climate produced by the manifestations of His Attributes, and feeling the pleasure embedded in wonder at the consideration of the relation between His works, Names and Attributes, gives such an indescribable pleasure that only those who have been able to realize this degree of spiritual ascension can feel it.

Those who can most swiftly reach this most precious goal, even though they are unable to feel the grace of this sacred journey at every step, are those who set off by being able to acknowledge their poverty and helplessness before God, and their gratitude and enthusiasm. They know how to become an ocean while each of them is still a drop; they know how to travel among galaxies while each is still a particle, and although they see themselves as nothing, they are able to live in the wheel of existence in accordance with its ultimate goal. They always travel saying, as Ibrahim Haqqi said:

I have attained pride through poverty, And supplicating to the Truth, I always utter, O All-Living, O Self-Subsistent!

They overflow with enthusiasm and gratitude, and are enraptured with the lights of the true life and existence, which are found a step beyond this horizon. Without considering the assertions of some, such as the Unity of Being and the Unity of the Witnessed, they feel the truth of life and existence beyond all conceptions of modality, and say: This life is not sufficient for such an expanse of pleasure.

O God! Guide us to the Straight Path, the path of those whom You have favored. And may God’s peace and blessings be upon the master of the creatures, the means of the life of the two worlds, and upon his family and all of his Companions. [1] Al-Jurjani, al-Ta’rifat, 1:216. [2] Al-Bukhari, “Riqaq,” 38.

*points* you've been talking a lot about ruju lately so let's do fear, guilt, hunt, and secret for him (for that ask meme) >:)

oc asks: not-so-nice edition

Ty so much for giving me an excuse to talk about The Rat™ even if this is very, VERY late... And long. Whoops. This is going under a cut, I think all of your dashes will thank me for that later.

I'll stick to just his Commander verse for this batch!

fear: What is your OC's greatest fear? What do they do when confronted with it? Are they open with their fear, or do they hide it away?

At his core, what Ruju fears most is feeling helpless.

There aren't a lot of times in the present that he's truly cornered, but in his youth it was a lot more obvious; he learned early on just how cruel his peers could be, and how eager they were to circle even the smallest hint of blood in the water. So he stopped showing the world he was scared. He buried it all deep, deep down and put on the air of confidence and aggression worn by so many Inquest because, well, nobody dares to mess with THEM, right? Better to blend in with the sharks than wind up as chum for the real deal.

But helplessness is more complicated than just being cornered in a fight. He's afraid of so much more than that; that his choices won't matter, that everything he's done will be for nothing, that forces he can't control will steamroll it all no matter what he does, that he just plain isn't enough for the role he's trying to fill. That fear only grew more and more as each dragon fell, the next picking up more and more new powers from each one he's taken down. What if he's just making it worse? What if that monstrous version of himself from the Infinity Ball was right-- what if the future really is unavoidable?

What if the one obstacle he'll never be able to surpass is himself?

Ruju doesn't let anyone see the deeper layers of his motivation, though. He pushes harder, fights fiercer, burns brighter. He won't let anyone see him falter. At its worst, it creates a vicious cycle of intense impulsiveness and aggressive independence, rushing past everyone else to reduce the number of variables and just deal with it. His solutions are direct and violent; as long as it works, he doesn't really care what the consequences are. And more importantly, it gives an outlet to his burning need to do something.

It takes a long time and a lot of work for Ruju to start trusting and leaning on others more instead. Even then, though, his most natural instinct is still to bristle like a cornered animal-- and if you jam your hand where it shouldn't be, he might not pause long enough to consider whether you're a friend or a foe. Watch your fingers, he bites.

guilt: What is your OC guilty about? How do they handle their guilt? Do they try to avoid guilt, or do they accept it?

While there's lots of little things-- rude remarks, losing his temper, impulsive choices, and so on-- those he usually apologizes for shortly after. He hates leaving things to fester. Ruju knows himself well enough to recognize that if he doesn't deal with it right then, he'll default to option 2 which isn't particularly great for anybody.

By far Ruju's heaviest guilt is the knowledge he bears of the future, and what he might become for reasons not even he understands. The only person who knows prior to EoD is Zojja-- and he had no more contact with her than anybody else by that point. While he wants to believe that he's fighting to make the world better, there's always a part of him that's afraid the 'Sovereign' was right and the path he's following is going to doom the entirety of Tyria. Ruju hopes that he's making better choices this time, but how can he know for sure?

What if he's just leading all these people right to their doom?

But he handles that just about as well as he handles his guilt about being a notorious college bully: avoidance. He just tries not to think about it, focusing on the future and keeping himself busy and hoping it never comes up again. It doesn't work particularly well, though, once the void finally shows itself-- and at that point he cracks.

Ruju has something that his other, doomed version didn't, though.

When he falters, he has people who care enough to catch him.

And once everything is out in the open, he does confront it; it's a complicated conversation (and one not even Taimi dares to make more than a single jab about) but it does lead to Ruju becoming much more honest moving forward. After all it's not like he can get any worse than THAT, right? 'Possibly causing the apocalypse' is a bit hard to beat.

hunt: Who or what is your OC hunted by? A person, a feeling, a past mistake? Is your OC able to let their guard down, or are they constantly alert?

The shadow looming over Ruju's shoulder has always been his own-- his past and his future. He never really felt its weight until the Infinity Ball showed him one of his potential futures in all its grisly, self-destructive glory, but knowing what he does now? Ruju is keenly aware of his own impulsiveness and is in a constant fight to choose a better path; in more ways than one he really is his own worst enemy.

And if not that, there's his unstable magic to worry about, too. His fiery disposition isn't just in personality; Ruju's power is destructive, and at times it can be a genuine challenge to keep it in check.

But as time progressed and he gained meaningful bonds of trust, learning to lean on his friends and allies... He's gradually come to realize that the best way to keep himself in check is to rely on people who can catch him when he stumbles. Ruju has found exactly the support network that his doomed timeline never had-- and together they ensure that the future he witnessed will never come to pass.

The Doomed Sovereign was wrong; there may be no delaying the future, but that doesn't mean you can't choose how it goes.

By the time the Dragon Cycle ends, he finally knows they've won.

secret: What's one secret your OC never wants anyone to know about them?

There's actually a reason Ruju's magic is so potent and unstable.

His parents worked at the Crucible of Eternity, with his mother being a high-ranking researcher working directly under Kudu. As a refresher crash course: Kudu's whole deal was controlling and weaponizing dragon corruption, with him even applying Branded corruption to HIMSELF so that he could control powerful dragon minions.

His mother wanted to be home more, but her position also required long hours-- so she took to bringing some research materials to her home lab, continuing her studies right under their roof. While she was out, Ruju got into her lab and tried to 'assist' with her research; after all, if all her work was done then she'd have more time to spend with her family, right? But, well, he didn't exactly know what any of this stuff was, or just how dangerous it could be.

The ensuing lab accident destroyed basically all the records they had so far, along with making him deathly ill from exposure to multiple heavily altered strains of dragon corruption. They didn't expect him to survive, let alone make a full recovery seemingly unscathed.

But when he did recover, while Ruju didn't show any obviously visible signs of dragon corruption... He did develop some extremely unusual qualities that they couldn't quite explain. A lot of the top secret research that the asura kept under wraps about dragon minions? They confirmed it from secretly studying him. The biggest breakthroughs were confirmations of dragon minions absorbing magic-- something they directly observed from him accidentally draining nearby power sources and reacting to ambient magic-- and being able to stabilize strains enough for Kudu to weaponize.

Ruju never knew about this until he got into the records at the Crucible of Eternity, though. Zojja saw it too, but they never really talked about it; after all, what was there to say?

And after seeing how the world felt about the sylvari... He decided that there was no way he could EVER tell anyone what he was.

If they couldn't even handle the comparatively stable liberated minions of a dragon, they definitely wouldn't be able to handle a medically inexplicable volatile freak like him. Most running theories in the present are that it has to do with being the Champion of Aurene, and he's certainly not about to tell them otherwise.

#gw2 #guild wars 2 #gw2 asks #gw2 asura #Commander Ruju #my posts #this is VERY late #but thank you so much for the ask!!#i had fun with this #even if i rewrote it like 10 times HDJDHGDH I think I'm satisfied now (even if it's all still REALLY long lmao)#ah well. that's why it's under a readmore #ANYWAY #a lot of this is only relevant to his Commander verse but there's definitely a few things there that are universal #particularly the 'secret' which applies to every timeline :3c #though notably: in his Statics timeline He Has No Idea.

Word Search Tag Game

Thank you for tagging me, @kittynomsdeplume!

The words for me to find are - seek, cherish, wisdom, fault and bruise

Seek - In Love and War, Chapter One. One of my "Thalia has to deal with Cullen and Samson at the same time" fics:

The guard captain snapped to attention. “Which prisoner do you seek, Your Worship?” “Do I really have to say his name?” she snarled. The captain exchanged a quick glance with an underling, then cleared his throat. “General Samson has been confined to the special cells—” That was all she needed to know. Thalia stormed past, into the bowels of the makeshift prison. “No matter how loud he screams, I don’t wish to be disturbed.” The captain hesitated. “Er, Inquisitor, is now really the time to—” Thalia whirled on her heels and glared at him. “Your Commander may be dying as we speak, thanks to that man. Do you intend to stand there and tell me he deserves mercy?”

Cherish - Fleeting. A little bittersweet pre-Revelations Thalia/Blackwall one-shot I wrote for a DADWC fill.

“It pains me when you talk like that,” Thalia mumbled. “Like something bad is definitely going to happen to you.” He tensed against her, and she worried he would extricate himself from her. He had already rejected her once. I’m fond of you, it’s true, but we can’t let this go any further. Her heart beat painfully against her ribcage. Instead, he placed his hands on her back and pulled her into a tight hug. She let out a small breath of surprise, and dared not move, lest she tip him off to his mistake. He pulled back, drawing fingers over her braided bun. He tucked a stray hair behind her ear and swallowed thickly, as if his voice was lodged in his throat. Thalia wanted to reach up, to touch his face, entwine her own fingers in his luxurious beard. Before she could, Blackwall leaned down and pressed his lips to her forehead. “It’s the reality of things,” he said hoarsely. “But I cherish the time we have together, fleeting as it may be.”

Wisdom - But Never a Key. A Pravinquisition-verse fic, featuring Pravin and Cullen tracking down the former Templar Algernon, who tattooed Thalia's face against her will at the Ostwick Circle.

The row of rotting cottages along the Redcliffe docks was notorious for housing degenerates. So went the wisdom of Pravin’s contacts, who eagerly accepted his sovereigns in exchange for the information. If someone like Algernon was to be found, it would be there. Two cloaked figures kept to the torch-lit shadows, the shorter and slighter leading the way. Cullen felt as though his heart might burst out of his chest following behind Pravin. The first two houses were abandoned, containing only damp barrels and the scent of fish. The third gave shelter to a handful of former Templars. They sat on the grimy floor on their bedrolls, passing around contraband lyrium bottles. None answered to Algernon and no one claimed to know him. Cullen was grateful for the hood on his cloak, and that Pravin had insisted they both change into more discreet clothing. He stared at the sunken faces and haunted eyes, and did not want them to know that he felt the pull of the cerulean song as strongly as they did. The fourth house had a collapsed roof and no way to get inside. The fifth possessed a window that glowed dimly with the light of a lantern. When Pravin knocked and called the man’s name, the door opened.

Fault - Kingdom Come, chapter two. Thalia and Thom discuss Cullen's death (implied to be due to a lyrium overdose).

“It isn’t your fault,” he says into the silence. Thalia jerks her head toward him, as if remembering he’s there. She flashes a pained smile. “Isn’t it, though?” “No.” A low anger stirs in his gut. He feels furious at a dead man for doing this to her, struggles to keep his tone civil. “It’s a sickness, as I understand. Like drink. I’ve watched men drown themselves in it.” He thought he might be one of those men, a few times in his life. “It’s different,” she argues. “He was thirteen when they took him. Eighteen when they put the stuff in his hands. He never had a choice.” He’s not sure how to explain that he doesn’t see a difference. Whether the Commander picked up a bottle on a whim or as part of a sanctioned ritual, the results were the same.

Bruise - The Greater Good. One of my fics about Cullen & Samson as Templars in Kirkwall. This is right after a runaway mage got violent with them and had to be subdued.

Samson stepped over the mage’s body, kneeling beside Cullen. “Easy does it now. Slow breaths. You just had the wind knocked out of ya, is all.” He gripped Cullen by the shoulder and helped him sit up. Cullen tried to listen and not let the panic win. With each inhale he seemed able to get more air into his lungs; he felt his pulse, at last, slowing. Samson knelt nearby, keeping silent, waiting him out. “I’m all right,” he whispered shakily. “Sorry.” “’S nothing to apologize for.” Samson inclined his head. “You’ve got a wicked souvenir, though.” Frowning, Cullen followed Samson’s gaze. His breastplate had a scorch mark snaking through it, slashed diagonally through the flaming sword emblem. “Shit.” Cullen let out a desperate, manic laugh. He climbed slowly to his feet, relieved that his armor had absorbed most of the impact and nothing felt broken. He’d probably be bruised for weeks, but it could be worse.

🍃🕊🍃 Salat of Tuesday 🍃🕊🍃

Imam al-Askari (as)

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

All praise be to Allah; and praise is His right, since He deserves it, abundant praise! I seek refuge in Him from the evil of my soul,

“For surely, the soul commands to evil except as my Lord has mercy.”

I seek refuge in Him from the evil of Satan who adds sins to my sin. I seek protection with Him from every wicked tyrant, unjust sovereign, and conquering enemy. O Allah, place me among Your troops, for Your troops—they are the victors, and place me in Your party, for Your party—they are the ones who prosper, and place me among Your friends, for Your friends—no fear shall be upon them, nor shall they experience sorrow.

O Allah, set right for me my religion, for it is the preserving tie of my affair; set right for me my hereafter, for it is the abode of my permanent lodging and to it I flee from the neighborhood of the vile! Make life an increase for me in every good and death an ease for me from every evil!

O Allah, send blessings to Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets and the completion of the number of the envoys, and upon his Household, the good, the pure, and upon his Companions, the distinguished, and give me on Tuesday three things: Leave no sin for me unless You forgive it, no grief unless You take it away, and no enemy unless You repel him! In the name of

“In the name of Allah,”

the best of the Names, In the name of Allah, the Lord of the earth and the heaven, I seek to repulse every hateful thing, the first of which is His anger, and I seek to attract every lovable thing, the first of which is His good pleasure! So, seal me with forgiveness from You, O Patron of beneficence!

🍃 Is reported that whoever offers on Tuesdays a six unit prayer; reciting in each unit Surah al-Fatiha, the last two verses of Surah al-Baqara (i.e. amana al-rassulu), and Surah al-Zalzalah, Almighty Allah will forgive all of his sin as if his mother has just given birth to him.

Rabbi Angela Buchdahl of New York’s Reform Central Synagogue also urged solidarity with the hundreds of thousands of protesters in Israel who have taken to the streets in opposition to their government’s judicial reform plans:

If you care about democratic rights — help preserve the only functional democracy in the Middle East. If you care about the vulnerable — safeguard the sole sanctuary for Jewish refugees in need. If you value Jewish Peoplehood, hear the cries of the other half of our Jewish family and remember: the destiny of Am Yisrael is bound, one to the other.

This young, messy, miraculous Jewish state is the most important, sovereign democratic project of the Jewish people of the last 2000 years.

We cannot walk away. While the task can feel at times, overwhelming, exhausting, Pirke Avot teaches:Iit is not our duty to complete it, only not to abandon it.

In his Rosh Hashanah morning sermon, Rabbi Joshua Davidson of New York’s Reform Congregation Emanu-El reported on his visit to Israel with a group of local rabbis and their conversation with politician Simcha Rothman:

When my turn came to speak, I asked him how he intended to protect the rights of those who don’t align with his politics, Israelis who are not haredi or from the Religious Zionist camp. He responded dismissively: “If you Reformim want to secure your rights, more of you should move to Israel.” Stunningly unaware he was addressing a delegation of Conservative and Orthodox rabbis, too, this chair of the Knesset’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee made painfully clear that his view of law and justice was purely majoritarian. Minority rights be damned.

It was a shattering encounter. One that revealed this coalition cares nothing for me, my Judaism, or my Jewish community. Don’t they know my congregation’s tireless efforts to strengthen American Jewry’s commitment to Israel? Don’t they know we lovingly display Israel’s flag on our bimah? And here my colleagues and I had travelled across an ocean only to get stiff-armed! Oy. Even in Israel, shver tsu zayn a Yid, sometimes it’s hard to be a Jew!

Rabbi Jeffrey Saxe of the Reform Temple Rodeph Shalom in Falls Church, Virginia, addressed congregants who may be reluctant to criticize Israel despite disagreeing with its government’s plans to weaken the power of the country’s judiciary. He took a lesson from the Book of Jonah, read on Yom Kippur:

God teaches us the most important lesson of the Book of Jonah: that criticism must be given as a blessing and not a curse. Especially when a harsh word of warning is needed to bring one back from the edge, it must be offered as a lifeline and not a threat. …. This text challenges us both to recognize when this is needed, and to remember that the commandment in Leviticus to rebuke your neighbor comes just one verse before, paired inextricably, with the commandment to love your neighbor as yourself. Criticism and disagreement must be conducted with love. By fostering and deepening our relationship with Israel, we take a place in the conversation that comes from caring. By acknowledging all sides and their humanity, we model the sensitivity that is needed to raise the level of the discussion. By being part of one of the countless efforts and organizations to help Palestinians, help Jews, build something, and be part of a positive vision, we earn the credibility to say our piece.

NIGHTMARE WEAVER: A Story Veiled in Verse

"NIGHTMARE-WEAVER."

His inner voice resounded like a tempest, beckoning to his demon. With obsidian eyes, he delved into the labyrinthine corridors of his mind, in search of the lingering shadow that plagued him.

Fear did not ensnare Hannibal Lecter, yet an irritation stirred within. He sought the reverberating apparitions that seemed to exist just beyond the grasp of his unyielding dominion.

In due course, everyone must surrender to the embrace of dreams, as consciousness floats away when eyelids meet and the chaos one has entombed begins its gradual awakening.

What sort of dreams dare to venture into the sleep of the most sinister and malevolent souls? What whispered secrets are reserved for their ears alone? What ideals of flawlessness and harmony did the deceiver of minds disrupt?

The demonic entity took form, an embodiment of obscurity and shade, an onrushing tide of blackness reaching forth to ensnare Lecter within its talon-like embrace.

What dreams might bury his crown?

"Nightmare-Weaver," his voice roared, coercing the entity to recoil, then adopt a circumspect stance. His obsidian eyes meticulously traced its motions, a conspicuous exhibition of his mere TOLERANCE of its presence solely for his own advantage. Implicitly, he broadcasted that a flicker of his thought could reduce the entity to ashes should it dare to irk him. Dominance reigned within this realm, a terrain of his psyche, even amid the dominion of his subconscious domain — his personal inferno — for he was the malevolent sovereign who held sway, the MORNINGSTAR BRIGHT, commanding night and day.

And all demons wrought from his own imagination would genuflect before his feet. His gaze was inferno incarnate, aflame with unassailable dominion, causing even the essence of nightmares to tremble in its aftermath.

"Show me all my fears," he proclaimed, his visage honing into focus as he raised his chin, then slowly lowered it, underscoring the weightiness of his decree.

The demon froze mid-stride, its gaze locked with eyes that never deigned to meet its form. Then, in a sudden surge, it lunged toward Lecter, adorned in the visage of Will Graham — eyes blacker than coal, having fully embraced his inky darkness. A blade found its mark, embedding itself within Hannibal’s lower abdomen. Stunned, he stood transfixed, almost ensorcelled by the pain coursing through him, a pain not solely from the blade's cruel penetration but more so from the heart-rending rejection shadowing Will's gaze. From Graham's back unfurled a pair of obsidian butterfly wings, their darkness lustrous yet eerie. Hannibal's hands strained to rise, to seize Will's shoulders, as if to anchor himself amid this surreal storm.

"You thought you could manipulate and control me forever, didn't you, Dr. Lecter?" Will hissed, an almost emotionless cadence underscored by a glimmer of mirth as he taunted the very name of the man. "But I see through your games now," he breathed, his jaw taut, "I understand the darkness within myself, and I'm no longer afraid of it. I don't need you to guide me anymore. You're not the only one who can understand the minds of monsters. And this time, I won't hesitate to expose you for the monster you truly are."

Typically, he harbored no aversion to being labeled a monster; it wasn't an affront, it was merely a truth he acknowledged dispassionately. Yet, when the term passed through Will's lips, it transformed into venom, its implication bearing a weight entirely distinct. This significance, a gift from the exquisite mind he longed to have comprehended him, to have perceived him as he was. And now, here stood Graham, his words festering within Hannibal's heart, igniting a contagion akin to rust spreading from a tarnished blade.

In close physical proximity, yet emotionally distant — Lecter yearned to bridge the gap, to seize hold, but found himself descending to his knees. It wasn't a mortal wound, no impending demise, yet the severity of it coerced his collapse. Will took a backward step, and Hannibal sensed control slipping, the specters of his nightmares chuckling in sinister delight. Jack advanced, binding Hannibal's hands in restraints. No, death wasn't to be his fate. Instead, an existence of seclusion awaited, a lifetime confined within cold walls. A veritable abyss of torment, though paling in comparison to the abyss carved by the blade of Will's betrayal. The wound ran deep, incapacitating, leaving him helpless against the tormenting vision of Jack's restraints.

For a suspended moment, Hannibal persisted upon his knees, a numbness enveloping him. His breath labored deliberately, a rhythm that matched the cadence of his focusing and unfocusing gaze. Within this chasm of struggle, the pace slowed, and with a sharp clarity, his eyes fully regained their focus. It was in the instant his gaze ascended that he surged forth, a swift propulsion of his leg against the ground propelling him upright with the fervor of his amassed strength. The sheer unexpectedness of his action sent the two phantoms recoiling, as if threatened by their own fears. Yet, his mental decree forced them to linger, while the chain of his cuffs looped itself around Jack's throat. The sheer aggression of his might compelled Crawford's body to collide with Hannibal's chest, the chain burrowing beneath the skin, not asphyxiating Jack, but ruthlessly snapping his neck with an almost supernatural force.

Enraged, Hannibal exuded a vitality almost tangible. As the specter of that particular nightmare dissolved into nonexistence and the cuffs vanished from his wrists, his focus transfixed upon Will, his eyes ablaze with a fury so potent that even deities could falter in its midst.

"Nightmare … Weaver," he snarled, his voice low yet keen-edged, each syllable of the entity's name etched as if to carve through the very fabric of the celestial heavens. Spawned from a heart that roared like a wounded lion, his devouring voice clipped Will's wings, shattering the illusion of control. He'd nurtured the caterpillar, murmured words of solace, yet the emerging butterfly defied his grasp. Lecter's rage far transcended the biblical, rendering God's displays of wrath mere trifles in comparison, minor irritations even. Should Will dare to wrench out his heart, the toll would eclipse the soul—a cleaving, a severing, A BLIGHT upon all that he held dear, every strand sustaining his life, every memory that once nourished him, would drip with venomous poison. Hannibal wouldn't stop at everything; he would delve even deeper, beyond the bounds of reckoning to a depth that would bring tears even to the most infernal denizens of hell. He wouldn't merely rend, but meticulously dismantle, while Will stood captive, compelled to witness every agonizing shred. And, he would ensure his survival, a relentless reminder that every fleeting moment, Will's own hand had forged this inferno, selecting the very tableau that would welcome him in that living darkness, A BREATHING NIGHTMARE. A DECEIVER OF LIGHT, Hannibal tailored his creations carefully.

Here stood, the CZAR OF WREATHING DESPAIR.

If denied to Hannibal, he'd deny ALL. No one would possess what he once could. The promise of happiness Lecter held would be forever out of reach. He'd reduce every pillar of sanity to smoldering ruins, a scorched landscape of shattered stability. AKIN TO HELL.

"I perceive YOUR fear," his visage, abruptly radiant with a confidence that could lead a deity to doubt their own supremacy in his vicinity, contorted into a knowing grin. His teeth evoked the image of a wolf baring its array of glistening scalpels, poised to dissect with a silver-tongued bite.

Onward he advanced, a prowling figure, compelling the nightmare to inch backward in gradual retreat. His malevolent countenance seemed to contort further into grotesque forms with each fleeting moment.

Like a creature inescapably ensnared, the demonic intruder sought desperately for an escape, only to find itself cornered. Its gaze ascended in surrender, meeting Hannibal's imposing presence as he loomed over it.

Resting one arm against the wall, his tender eyes lingered upon Will, a delicate caress bestowed upon each contour of his features by an almost affectionate gaze. He was consumed by curiosity, his observation discreet yet devouring, etching every nuance into his memory. Every twitch and glisten of sweat upon the divine canvas of Will's skin was meticulously cataloged in his mind.

Inclining further, he compelled the nightmare to retreat, until escape was a forsaken prospect. Hannibal's lips parted, bestowing their presence upon the quivering threshold that dared not resist him. His jaw shifted with an intentional elegance, a taste of the shape of Will's lips imprinted upon his senses. Then, his tenderness metamorphosed into a dreadful intensity, his lips applying pressure that teetered on the brink of violence, and without hesitation, boldly crossed that line, rending flesh with a savage resolve.

Just as the nightmare's desire to scream reached its crescendo, the fiery sinews, belatedly echoing the urgency of its nerves’ warning, snapped taut. PAIN. In that fraction of time, Lecter's movements were abrupt and precise, his jaws encircling that exquisite porcelain throat, mapping the exact anatomical coordinates of Will's vocal cords with clinical efficiency. The protest was smothered beneath the immensity of his dominant aura, blood instantly spurting forth. Gradually, the pressure escalated, impervious to any writhing or wordless objection, his teeth bore into the delicate flesh, penetrating deep enough to puncture vital points. There was no evasion from his meticulous cognizance, not for Will, nor any SEMBLANCE of him. Every facet of WILL GRAHAM BELONGS TO HANNIBAL, and he would devour him.

In a twisted letter, the ANSWER'S FINAL.

Thus commenced his consumption of the very essence of the nightmare, an eerie symphony of teeth rending through flesh, accompanied by the disconcerting rhythm of blood pooling in the wake of damp squelches. Convulsing limbs ultimately surrendered their last vestiges of resistance, yielding to the embrace of Death. Yet, Hannibal remained resolute, AS THE CANNIBAL INDULGES IN HIS NECTAR, each frenzied bite persevering toward its grim culmination.

Today, the depths of Hell might have witnessed Lucifer's tremor, as even THE MORNINGSTAR dimmed beside A VERSE FROM HANNIBAL LECTER.
