Greetings Sapience,

I have spent much of my time as of late reading over everyone's
scrolls carefully. What I have come up with is a few questions,
to hopefully add a new perceptive to this....

You say there is a "Other", many believe in this "Other", many do
not, why is that?

The answer is more than obvious, but lets get the mind working
for a second here.

Have any of you managed to think that this "Other" is not a
powerful being, not a Higher Deity, not a Dream, not a force,
not a freak of nature..... but that it is nothing more than
yourself?

Just as a note - None of this post has anything to do with
my beliefs because I am in the Order of Peace, I wanted to clear
that up ahead of time, thanks.

Think about this for a moment, we are born, we eat, we sleep,
we preach, we kill, we hunt, we dream, we worship our Patrons,
these are the things we do so that we may survive this life. We
do these things because we feel that life is worth living, but
in the midst of all of this we, in time, create destruction.
We are nothing but destructive beings who feed off of each other,
and every other living thing to be able to keep ourselves alive.
In some eyes this would look like greed, but in our eyes this
is survival, may the fittest win... or the most destructive?
Yet how long can you live if you are ruining the things around
you, in time it will all fall into place, in time there will be
nothing left for you to feed from... what will you do then?

Someone said that this "Other" is scarier than reality, it was
the most frightening thing he had ever seen... couldnt you think
that he was just seeing himself? Look at the things we do people,
Some people exterminate the forest, while those who try and save
it constantly pick the plant life away to nothing. We try to
hold our own beliefs, while those with opposite beliefs try to
conquer ours, when at the exact time we are doing the same to them.
It is a circle, the circle of life, we know no other way then
what has been set forth for us, yet we destroy everything that
was put here by the Divine for us.

I have seen both paths of life, War and Peace, and no matter
which path your walking on, you ruin things along the way. We
are so caught up in ourselves it is unbelievable. How many of
you were seriously ready for something like this to happen? I
can answer that one myself... None, there was no one ready to
stand up for their own actions.

You may say, how could we have been ready? Which I wouldnt know
because I wasnt ready for it myself, I was so wrapped up in greed
trying to survive in my own life, that I didnt pay attention to
what I was doing to the people or things around me, and that is
how everyone is.

Everyone once in awhile you need to open your eyes, because
what you may be seeing, might not really be there, it may be
a figment of thine own imagination, or just a bad dream that
you have yet to awaken from. Though some would say, isnt life
just a bad dream that is so continually you could mistake it
for life?

If there was an "Other" it would make itself known. Yet again
you all may say that it has, by what has happened to you, but
all I see is what is inside of each and everyone one of you,
the "Other" is in your heart, it is your mind, your body, your
soul, and it is ready to take its vengeance, it is coming out,
it is trying to get you to open your eyes and see what you are
doing to yourself and the people around you. I believe that
this other has a name, and it is called Destruction.

Take the blame upon yourself for things that have been
happening to you, and I gurantee that you might begin to
see what is really going on here.... this is life, it is
not fun, it is not a task you can start without finishing,
and destruction will make you finish it.

Blessed Be,
Juniper Mariella Dawyn
