All things ariseth from One by the will of One, and so all things cometh from this subtle process. Fire shineth brightly upon its own vessel, as the heavenly sun’s light filleth up the moon. So cleavest thou sweetly the fire from her source, taking only the light that stretcheth between them. By this means thou mayest win the golden Asioth, and all deficiency shalt be taken from you. Herein is held the power beyond all power, that revealeth the subtle and hideth the known. By Asioth is every world created, for this is the golden gift of eternities. The Divine Gift is an explanation and showing of creation, and how it goes beyond all bounds - The Divine Gift is itself, a literal meaning upon the vast horizons and endless skies, the forever beyond our bounds. Asioth so rarely attained as those who are born, live, and die in their home are forever unenlightened. This deeply reminds me, dear friend, of my time spent elsewhere unto Cathant. In but a few decades spent from Thyra, I saw and observed wonderous things - Battles beyond size I had ever seen, readings which had concepts I could still even struggle to fathom, a language and culture vibrant and vivid, an empire of Jade which allowed me to experience life, in such a short amount of time- oncemore young again. The thought that a continent was filled with cultures and people each unique and colourful, the thought we are but a world of these places, and the planets beyond which glisten in the night sky- the endless treasures of language, currency, ideals, values, artefacts and more- truly, that, is The Divine Gift. Fire of Growth The World was a fruitful womb of red earth: a cage. Below, a white-gold seed, First-Born, became himself. Thus a sapling of Asioth emerged unseen. Lively knowledge was as sunlight upon its leaves. Above was a misty weald of noble grandeur; its spectral branches held fruit of golden fire. The tree of Asioth nourished landless nations, and subjects formed themselves upon its red-gold earth. Thus First-Born won the golden prize of his freedom, escaping captivity by Asioth: growth. The Fire of Growth is representative of the vast riches of the endless seas and skies, the very land we see so often a treasure trove of so much to see. Asioth and it's Divine Gift allowed those upon it's creation to bloom unto a beautiful garden, the likes of which were unseen. The Titan had been nurtured, beginning as but a seed- as the world expanded and it's glory, enriched by the world and it's beauty, natural and artificial, The Titan did grow. The land had nurtured itself as the endless Divine Gift had kept giving, expanding rapidly until The Titan had eventually attained Asioth himself, through it's own making. Thus then, growing itself, and the world around it. Vessel of Grace The World is a blank canvas of white slate: a muse. Above, a red-gold spark, First-Born, creates himself. Thus an outline of Asioth appears unsaid. Timeless insight is as pigment beneath its strokes. Within is a tossing sea of sublime beauty; its buoyant waters fill words like silver vessels. The book of Asioth teaches ageless subjects, and nations name themselves upon its white-gold slate. Now First-Born frees his students of deficiency, inspiring artistry by Asioth: grace. The Vessel of Grace, in tandem with The Fire of Growth- describes then the setting of our seed. The First Born sundered himself, thus the blank, dull, and empty garden was given light. The world growing akin to a forest, the mother tree within it's centre allowing the ground below to cultivate off of it's life. To spread and to flourish, the flora of the world began what would become a rich tapestry of endless treasures beyond our bounds. Though the people which lived within so, this world which was created for them so lustrous and ripe, yet misunderstood the seas and skies which went forever on. They settled, quarreling in their huts, homes, and castles, lobbing the rocks meant for climbing at one another. Poisoning the water with the flora meant for them to understand their mortality. Throwing over the walls the dead meant to taught us the frailty of our nature. The forever-lands which sat unexploited, remained so - forever left to bloom, untouched and untainted by our unenlightened being. It is through Asioth, so rarely attained, through The Titan, that they may yet serve The Divine Gift and it's benevolent purpose. On Asioth The words of the Teacher, Eresar sin Nathemas: The philosophers speak of equal opposites. But bringing these together, nothing results. First and second are neither equal nor opposite. Light is greater than darkness, but there is no light without darkness. There is no first without second. The source begets the river But without the river there is no source Who can say which is greater: that which is first, or that which is last? It is the order that begets them Here is the secret of Asioth: Greater loves lesser; core loves periphery. On Asioth discusses the necessity for all things. This may help discuss the wonder that is everything. Our realm, as far as we may tell, is finite. A limited size, of limited mass. Though, it is perspective which puts this. Understanding what a minute role one plays in it all- and defying that, or perhaps even serving the purpose- no one thing could experience it all. It is our smallness in the scale of all, and the grandness of The Titan that we see truly who is to teach, and who is to learn. Though we may enlighten others, we do not walk the path for them. The endless sea and boundless skies are only by perspective, for our eyes can only see so far, for our ships can only last so long. The words we hear and the people we see may be infinite, yet we can only recognize so many languages, and have only so much time for so many words. It is by this perspective one must come to terms with the true meaning of what it is to be infinite. In a thousand lifetimes, one could never explore or exploit the treasures of our world. No one could see it, experience it, or take it all. It is only by enlightening others we may help solve pieces of this borderless puzzle. It is only through learning that we do achieve Asioth. Parable of The Artisan The Great Titan and Eresar encountered an artisan carving a statue. Eresar asked the artisan what he was carving, who responded “I am carving Asioth.” The Teacher said to him “Your studies have become distracted.” The Titan said nothing, but later asked of Eresar “At what point were his studies distracted?’ The Artisan in this parable had been carving his Asioth. The Teacher Eresar had determined this, perhaps immediately, to be a thing physically depicted. The Teacher had likely forgotten that Asioth is an infinite. It is a meaning and interpretation interpersonal to all. His Asioth was not The Teacher Eresar's. It is later that The Titan had asked The Teacher Eresar his thought- perhaps The Artisan's studies were his carving. Perhaps he was placing it in a perspective familiar to himself, as Asioth is and should be. It is the understanding that we are small individuals. Each of our own distinct walks, experiences, paths - which lead us to understanding and seeing things differently. I would argue The Artisan found Asioth. The Teacher Eresar had needed to re-find his. On Answers Eresar asked his student “Where is the white-gold seed planted?” to which he responded “In the red-gold earth.” The Teacher said “No. Go and re-read the Vessel of Growth” to which the student said “But I have asked you the same question, and that is what you told me.” Eresar asked him “What is your name?” In "On Answers", there is a short back and forth between student, and teacher. The answer is confusing. Asioth is acquiring knowledge and understanding one would otherwise have no exposure or interest in apprehending. Being able to learn what the world offers, The Divine Gift bestowed upon us which we may exploit and understand, to achieve Asioth, and utilize this gift. The Teacher Eresar asked the student this last question- "What is your name?", because the meaning of the studies are interpersonal. The Teacher Eresar is to give example and provide the tapestry, while it is up to the student to interpret. It is not the student's answer to take, it is a question to provoke an answer to give. The Student had attempted to achieve Asioth through another's understanding- which is invalid. Our convictions and beliefs are formed as variably as the tumultuous waves of the endless sea. It is our purpose to maintain inuniformity. It is our purpose to understand life as varied and multi-faceted as it is. For we cannot do it alone. Not one lifetime, not in a thousand. It is thus when The Teacher Eresar asks, "What is your name" - for the only answer, for his answer, was Eresar. Summation Asioth is attained through exploration and the acquiring of understanding, material and immaterial to be claimed as vast riches from beyond our conventional bounds.
