Ascension by Julian-Faylona on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

And from our miry existence, from our eons of tribulations and strife, of wasting and degeneracy, let us partake of the blackened waters of Infinite. Thus the veil be lifted from our eyes with visions of symmetry/order and of high geometries of all things sacred, of all things hidden, and of all things with power. We are the Hierarchy (Those Who Ascend)*. We are the shaper of thoughts and dreams, of reality and unreality. We have freed ourselves from the shackles/bonds of existence, and all shall be made known/revealed to us.

And I, shall wield the Staff/Instrument**. From it shall flow the powers/force of Infinite. And with it pierce the curtains of the cosmos/planar***, that we may see and walk/pass through them, to deliver us from the depths, and lead us into geometry/paradise****. The stars shall fall prostrate before us. _We are the eternal fire in the dying/waning of the light. For I am the Lord who wields the sky/space and rule over the sea/ground.

-A passage from the Book of Apotheosis, Chapter 1, as divined and interpreted by the Second Envoy-

Footnote:

* It must be noted that "Hierarchy" is not the true name of these society of beings. It is merely a weak but near satisfactory translation from their sacred texts. In truth, the name cannot be properly spoken by a human tongue. As with the names of the 21 Hierarchs. One would require an extra set of senses that is unavailable to human physiology.

** An allusion to an Instrument of Power wielded by the Archemperor. It is believed that this instrument posses actual power other than simply being a symbol of rule. Further study needed.

*** This concept is unknown in human understanding of physics, thus this word cannot be properly translated as there is no equivalent in our total sphere of knowledge.

**** This term is extremely difficult to translate. It is far too abstract to be put in human terms.
