[!] As you peruse further down the scroll, you continue to unlock the author's secrets on his studies and writings of the soul. The writings below depict the journey along a celestial river of souls and heavenly and hellish realms of existence - described by the Author as 'The Soul Stream'




 

Soul Stream: The Celestial River

'Imagine a great thunderstorm; its rains pour out from the clouds, the hands of our creator. The water builds in a great lake, the result of creation. Yet water cannot remain forever. Some will be burned by the sun or consumed by beings at the lakes edge. Much, most, will flow to rivers mighty and small as their time in the lake passes - those rivers are the soul stream ' 

 

- Saneyir Melphestaus , The 4th Lecture, SA 105

The author charts the stream as a network of celestial bodies and places, that follow no specific linear path. Observant readers would note well known Aengul and Daemonic realms, as well as many others simply labeled ‘unknown’. 

 

The Journey of the Soul

 

Every being of creation is attached to the soul stream. The great and vast basin of this stream is the mortal realm, from which all souls are poured forth into its flow. For some, like Aenguls and Daemons and other Deific beings, the stream flows both towards and away from this basin. 

 

For living beings of the mortal realm, the Soul stream flows in only one direction. Many perils await a soul on the stream and once set upon its path, only the foolish and the damned attempt to swim against its currents. 

 

The stream exists physically within the void, but one cannot taste or touch it - though it can be felt as a cool and pallid sensation of the body. For those who have had a 'near-death experience', they may have briefly touched the stream in a fleeting moment. The stream is not linear, it carries a shape that we cannot understand - there is an entrance but we know of no end. 


 

The Journey

The  journey on the stream begins at death. They drift like flotsam aimlessly along the current, helpless to alter their path. Their spirit takes a shape that mirrors their life;  these shapes are impossible for one to comprehend, much as one can visualize what an angry or depressed or joyful spirit may appear as. These shapes do matter, much as  a simple child's puzzle: certain shapes do not fit through certain gateways. These gates are the entrance to realms benevolent and otherwise. Pacts of the soul made with beings infernal and aengulic alter the soul in a way that only allow them to drift into their realms - a price paid in the mortal realm.

 

All descendant-kind once shared a similar shape to their soul, but as the brothers were altered - so were their children.  So too were new realms and realities created along the stream to match these new shapes, such as the seven skies for the Valah. 

 

The Curse

When Iblees afflicted his curse upon the Mali people, he fractured their soul into its tripartite pieces.  The result of this is that a Mali soul floats endlessly after death, becoming the very fabric of the stream itself. A Mali that is not mended is struck upon this path of nothingness upon their death. The gates into the elven afterlife were made impossible for Elfkin to enter, and so this realm disintegrated - if there was ever a realm set aside for them in ages past it has long been erased from reality. 


 

The Gift of Responsibility - The Guardians at the Door

When Malin was given the secrets to ascension to the heavens, he used his vast power to create Malin'or. Malin'or served a dual purpose along the celestial soul stream. It was not a resting place for souls, like other realms, but a Kingdom with responsibility to the living. The greatest of Elfkind would take up for a seat in Malin'or alongside Malin - aiding descendant kind in life against the Daemon and that which would seek to claim descendant souls for malicious purpose. Malin'or also serves as the origin of Malin’s mantle - a figurative dam along the soul stream which blunts the downward flow of Aengul and Daemonic powers into the mortal realm. The Pantheon of Malin’or struggles ceaselessly to preserve the mantle, focusing its attention on the preservation of the mortal realm. No longer would such powers tread freely amongst descendant kind, only paths created by living mortals could bring these beings into reality.

You again pause to consider what it is you have read, shall you put this scroll down once and for all...or continue reading.
