Harmony of Fire and Vessel

Finding Asioth through the Breath of God

By Osar Dovian

Grand is the world which turns around us. Day in and day out, we as fragments of The One are subject to the infinite scope of the tune and song which our world functions. It is naught but a singular rhythm that we are all attuned to. Each breath is but the spark of a roaring blaze to ignite the spirit and bring furnace into the Vessel of the mortal shell. What brilliance can overcome the feeling of being in absolute alignment with the Breath of God? Nothing can overcome the tranquil feeling that comes with that brief touch with that Fated song.

 

Thus the Kendov Do Su'um, who is The Man, can briefly glimpse and feel the brushing lips of Asioth as he comes to understand that his ability to resonate with the world is not a form of measured power, but a path to a deeper understanding and enlightenment of his surroundings. They shall “See the World is to dream a False Dream”¹. This False Dream, illusioned as material given a marvelous language is nothing more than Energy. United though is all the subtle weavings of this vision, for in the end we all Dream of the same Lah which overfills each minute substance which flickers as a birthed flame. It is in the Slen. It is in the Rii. With our breath do we come to “See with eyes unclouded, to see as all is, to see as all is meant to be, without lie, without mystery”¹. 

 

Yet even with such a sight, it is a pale illusion we grant to ourselves to pretend to understand, for the fathomless pits of the Golden Order that breathed before us. We partake in the song which allows the Sun and Moon to orbit the Great Disc. With a touch do we shape the shapeless from one form to another. With a will, do we endow strength upon the strengthless. With a gesture, do we adhere to new laws of physicality, and deny all logical upbringings. These are gestures and masks, for “A man is an Actor, A Man is a Cog,” and “A man is a piece that struggles”² which grasp to see the full picture; thus does he realize that his breathing is naught but an insult to what is God, still he practices anyways knowing he shall never achieve the perfect unity. 

 

Thus, this is how he begins to find his Asioth.

Yet Mortal Man is flawed, for “in the end, orc, elf, man, and dwarf were all blind, for they fought with intent of light onto dark by the great pretenders of the Throne of The Maker”³. They cannot understand that the Maker, perfect, has mastered what Asioth is; and controls the full spectrum of The Perfect Fire and The Perfect Vessel. How can Man burn to sunder what has already been sundered? How can he forge what Perfection has already seen shattered? In the end, he can only grasp the straws of one end of his Asioth, weeping that he cannot reach for the other and hold both the Slen and Rii within at the same time. “A vain attempt, as when Man stands before Asioth, the fool will waste his life”⁴ not realizing that he has already found it by the simple pleasure and joy that he can walk the Path of Fire or the Path of the Vessel, as he must “journey well within what he has been given, and court his blessings,”⁴ few as they are. Weeping that he can taste Red Waters in what meager droplets are left within a vast desert.

 

The Fire is the Spirit, it is the concept that your power is born of the flow of Rii. With it, the Kendov Do Su'um shall dance tunes to see with his unseen Eye. He will float upon the air, realizing that in the illusions of the False World he needs not obey the laws set upon them; for what are the words of a Lie if not to be broken? He will come to possess the will to smother the fires of others, allowing his own to rage. And Man shall come to use his own flame to kindle the hearts of those around him, so they may burn as bright as he.

 

The Vessel is the Body, it is the concept of your power born of the flow of Slen. With it, the Kendov Do Su'um can produce the function of time of when, how, and why he strikes. Barriers no longer stop him, for walls are falsities made to stop his righteous zeal. His body shall become as indestructible as his raging spirit as his flesh shall refuse to bend to the ill words of others. His hands shall bring the penultimate form of destruction upon his foes. 

 

Flawed as it is that he may only see one side of the ever changing faces of the shattered mirror of his Asioth, Man shall "delude himself into thinking he must have both to be sacred”⁵. He will understand deeply that the Fire without the Vessel to hold it shall spill outwards, sputter, and die. He shall realize that a Vessel without Fire to fill it is a hollow shell, devoid of life and meaning. Man shall sway this way and that, wholly dependent upon this avid weakness to clear his mind and accept that he is flawed, but his spiritual and physical failings are good. Since he is flawed, he can search for what he has lost. Woe will be admitted upon his breath that he will lose what fragments he has found when he finds what he has lost. Then he will “Rejoice in his powerlessness, for in his struggle he becomes equal with all.”⁵

 

Although “He has no power, such as I have no power, and the Titan has no Power. Only God has power,”⁵ for man is not breathing his own breath, but instead matches the rhythm which The Divine One sets. Does Man then insult God by tapping into his breath, or does he revere the Creator by bringing to his soul ultimate harmonization? Man seeks Freedom, yet will destroy himself by seeking it. The Kendov Do Su'um must decide for himself if his actions, which shall never be his, are ones of dedication to The One.

 

Thus, this is how he begins to find his Asioth.

End then with an understanding that all Man knows of his Harmony with God is both True and False. He will use such a justification to fill his spirit with Asioth, the Kendov Do Su'um realizes he shall never grasp his love. Content but never content, the Man shall have his “eyes sunken and tongue blackened until there is no more idea of who he is,”⁶ for in his harmony with God he will ultimately unmake the idea of who he is. He is nothing but Lah, and thus he becomes everything that Lah is meant to be (that being the Rii and the Slen). His future is to wither to Ash, and love that his Ash shall give rise to new life which will only wither again, inhaled through the mouth of God to be exhaled as golden sparks to repeat the infinite cycle.
