CG Entry 2 The God of this World
Truly, truly the darkness in men is inescapable. Because man is a sentient capable of deciding which paths he will take, he will always be saddled with the responsibility of choosing between light and darkness, life and death. A blessing and a curse is this free will you are endowed with and even more. The ability to choose also affects space and time so that your decisions change the environment for those that follow you in life. If you do not understand this then come sit by me Every Man and learn how your predecessor’s actions made the world that you now live in.
The world of men is now run by the Overlord Avarice. Know this, Avarice is a hypocrite and at every turn puts on the mask of progress. His reign began at that moment when men began to cultivate the land and establish sedentary societies. It began with the priests of the gods, the first of the Magi. They were entrusted with the faith of the people and behold, there arose those that abused this trust and set up societies for their own gain. Riches and power was the cup offered to them by the daemon Avarice and some drank insatiably. These priests set up Rulers and Kings that shared their worship of Avarice and together they established the power structure that exists even until today. So it followed that war after war was waged by the super naturals that worshipped Avarice. Millions suffered and died, whole generations lost in the build up of today’s world and with each passing generation, Avarice grew stronger and its worshippers more fervent. The Greedy of today have grown more cunning than their ancestors. They dilute themselves and every other in to believing that Avarice is in fact progress without which we could not continue to thrive. Convinced that Greed is good, they marshal forth proofs of how societies owe their progress to the Greedy. Liars! Diluted servants of Hell! Do you pretend to convince men that they are set free by accepting the crumbs that fall off your table! Do you convince men that by handing them a shovel and telling them to dig you a foundation for your building that you have brought heavenly progress? Hear me servants of the Daemon Avarice, Your master is from the state of Hell and Hell beckons its own to return to it! You are in grave peril for you are playing host to that which seeks death. For the Heaven bound, life begets life through one’s death. For the Hell bound, death begets death through one’s life. Every Man speaks in reply saying, “I look within and perceive that this present situation is unavoidable. It is a natural function in me to give in to Avarice since having a little more will always make me feel more secure. The words of No Man may ring true, yet they fall far short of satisfying me! “I want to see proof and then I will believe you” replies Every Man. Do you wish to see proof? Look to your children. You will see that your offspring have no sense of value, material or otherwise. The more they get the more they crave. Your family relationships are bonded by the material objects you supply them. It is your money that your children desire, not you! Do you not sense this? Family bonds should come from the eternals of Love, Trust, Honor and Loyalty and not from the cheap replacements you offer, no matter how expensive?
Rise Every Man above the natural, to Heaven itself. Be filled with the medicine of Generosity! Practice it. Give to those less fortunate in the sight of your children. Teach them how to go without so that others less fortunate may have. In doing so, you are not only curing yourself, but you will be inoculating your children and your children’s children against the disease of Avarice. I place before you as further proof those called generous by this world. The richest man in your world will set up a foundation and give away billions of his dollars to others and he is lauded for his actions. Do you understand that though this is exemplary, he by holy definition is the least of the generous? Because he has billions, he can afford to give billions and not suffer want or need. Generous are those that give from what they cannot afford to give! Generous are those that give away what they need for themselves! These are the working class faithful who give from their meager pay. These are the Spirit filled who give of their time to care for their neighbor less fortunate. These are the youth who speak out and stand in defense of those who are defenseless. Men judge generosity by how much the donor gives. Heaven judges generosity by how much the donor cannot give, but does so nonetheless. No Man asks you, Everyman,
Do you have a surplus of money?
Do you have a surplus of time?
Do you have a surplus of talent?
Give and you will be blessed by men.
No Man asks you, Every Man,
Do you have very little money?
Do you have very little time?
Do you have very little talent?
GIVE AND YOU WILL BE BLESSED BY HEAVEN ITSELF.
This is a promise from that which is incorruptible. HEAVEN IS BOUND TO THOSE THAT ARE BOUND TO HEAVEN.
