DOGMA III - HISTORY #2, "COSMOGONY" |
|||
which is not the same as |
|||
DOGMA I - METAPHYSICS #2, "COSMOLOGY" (Book of Uterus) |
|||
In the beginning there was VOID, who had two daughters; one (the smaller) was that of BEING, named ERIS, and one (the larger) was of |
|||
NON- BEING, named ANERIS. (To this day, the fundamental truth that Aneris is the larger is apparent to all who compare the great |
|||
number of things that do not exist with the comparatively small number of things that do exist.) |
|||
Eris had been born pregnant, and after 55 years (Goddesses have an unusually long gestation period-- longer even than elephants), |
|||
Her pregnancy bore the fruits of many things. These things were composed of the Five Basic Elements, SWEET, BOOM, PUNGENT, |
|||
PRICKLE, and ORANGE. Aneris, however, had been created sterile. When she saw Eris enjoying Herself so greatly with all of the |
|||
existent things She had borne, Aneris became jealous and finally one day she stole some existent things and changed them into |
|||
non- existent things and claimed them as her own children. This deeply hurt Eris, who felt that Her sister was unjust (being so much larger anyway) |
|||
to deny Her her small joy. And so She made herself swell again to bear more things. And She swore that no matter how many of her begotten |
|||
that Aneris would steal, She would beget more. And, in return, Aneris swore that no matter how many existent things Eris brought forth, |
|||
she would eventually find them and turn them into non-existent things for her own. (And to this day, things appear and disappear in this very manner.) |
|||
At first, the things brought forth by Eris were in a state of chaos and went in every which way, but by the by She began playing with them and |
|||
ordered some of them just to see what would happen. Some pretty things arose from this play and for the next five zillion years |
|||
She amused Herself by creating order. And so She grouped some things with others and some groups with others, and big groups |
|||
with little groups, and all combinations until She had many grand schemes which delighted Her. |
|||
Engrossed in establishing order, She finally one day noticed disorder (previously not apparent because everything was chaos). |
|||
There were many ways in which chaos was ordered and many ways in which it was not. |
|||
"Hah," She thought, "Here shall be a new game." |
|||
And She taught order and disorder to play with each other in contest games, and to take turns amusing each other. |
|||
She named the side of disorder after Herself, "ERISTIC" because Being is anarchic. And then, in a mood of sympathy for Her lonely sister, |
|||
She named the other side "ANERISTIC" which flattered Aneris and smoothed the friction a little that was between them. |
|||
Now all of this time, Void was somewhat disturbed. He felt unsatisfied for he had created only physical existence and physical non- existence, |
|||
and had neglected the spiritual. As he contemplated this, a great Quiet was caused and he went into a state of Deep Sleep which lasted for 5 eras. |
|||
At the end of this ordeal, he begat a brother to Eris and Aneris, that of SPIRITUALITY, who had no name at all. |
|||
When the sisters heard this, they both confronted Void and pleaded that he not forget them, his First Born. And so Void decreed thus: |
|||
That this brother, having no form, was to reside with Aneris in Non-Being and then to leave her and, so that he might play with order and disorder, |
|||
reside with Eris in Being. But Eris became filled with sorrow when She heard this and then began to weep. |
|||
"Why are you despondent?" demanded Void, "Your new brother will have his share with you." "But Father, Aneris and I have been arguing, |
|||
and she will take him from me when she discovers him, and cause him to return to Non- Being." "I see,"replied Void, "Then I decree the following: |
|||
"When your brother leaves the residence of Being, he shall not reside again in Non-Being, but shall return to Me, Void, from whence he came. |
|||
You girls may bicker as you wish, but My son is your Brother and We are all of Myself." |
|||
And so it is that we, as men, do not exist until we do; and then it is that we play with our world of existent things, and order and disorder them, |
|||
and so it shall be that non-existence shall take us back from existence and that nameless spirituality shall return to Void, like a tired child |
|||
home from a very wild circus. |
