The Veiled Tale

The beginning and the end are just the same

We return where we were born to the Celestial Spheres

To the formless void above which the face of God lingers

To the primordial cosmos where no stars shine

In principio erat Verbum et Verbum erat apud Deum et Deus erat Verbum

God was alone in the nothingness he was also nothing, but

A thought - he thought of himself, so he came to be an idea

Entwined in itself like the snake that bites its own tail

So God became the word and the word was with him

There was no time as time stood still

An infinity has passed every second

Terra autem erat inanis et vacua et tenebrae

Super faciem abyssi et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas

Then God thought of matter and matter came to be

He severed the arid land from the sea

He painted soil with will to consecrate

For belief has power to create

Impure matter so constrained and so imperfect

Incapable cannot reflect God

Frail dimensions insufficient for the pattern

That’s why matter and idea had to be torn

Separated by a veil not to be penetrated

Impervious for mortal eyes

Et lux in tenebris lucet et tenebrae eam non conprehenderunt

And so it came to pass that God was also split in two

The demiurge, or logos and the Primum Movens

Sic transit gloria mundi

The creation was done parallel

The logos created the ideas

And the prime mover has done

Its best to mirror them

Logos: Planting soul seeds

Prime Mover: Planting star seeds

And then they both watched

How their cosmos grew

Then God thought of matter and matter came to be

He severed the arid land from the sea

He painted soil with will to consecrate

For belief has power to create
