So…the void has Questioned you, in your waking moments, and now the ethereal.
Good. I worry greatly about those who go too long without asking these vital questions regarding our base selves. Those who cease questioning the darkness, who simply accept the environs we operate in, often find themselves acclimated as creatures of that darkness over time.
In all such matters, we look to our Faith. However, in this case, ecumenical scholarship is in it’s infancy. In most any conceivable aspect of normal life, one is hard-pressed to encounter some situation in which scripture does not provide some foresight. So many have come before, and we borrow that Wisdom, gleaned from experience, or divine revelation, in turn.
But for those who traverse the Wetgrave, the particulars of the realms upon which we have encroached are not mapped out before us; the greatest theologians of our time are scrambling to decipher the underlying axioms of a brutal reality unthinkable scant centuries ago, and to give that truth the proper context and clarity that we possess in other avenues of our lives.
There are no forefathers from whom to glean insight, no steeped tradition guided by light, no painstakingly meditated path.
We, the driven Faithful, compelled to take these unsafe and unfortold steps in service of that which we hold dear to us, have found ourselves on the bleeding edge of Truth.
For some, this would invite the very tendrils of fear and madness that erode the foundations of Faith.
The Base, the Carnal, the Unclean, would look upon such a state in bemusement and reproach.
We must pay such twisted souls no heed.
Whereas before, we could rely on the strict guidance of what came before, we are now the explorers of a new horizon. Our Faith is not a closely guarded road upon which we must tread with trepidation; that path lies behind, it’s lessons and strengths passed on to us. Our Faith is now a torch, of blinding radiance, to pierce the unfathomable void before us. All that has come before, the countless sacrifices, mistakes, and triumphs combined that make up What We Are, we must now wield upon a dark path full of questions and unenviable realities.
Fear is understandable. We tread where angels alone have long held solemn guardianship, but remember we do so in His Name, and for His Glory.
“And those who embrace his love
Shall be saved by his grace
For we are his shepherds in the darkness
His Angels of Mercy.”
I am glad you question. The answers will not be granted simply, no easy victories await on this road.
Know, however, that you do not walk it alone.
