The Church, Chaos, Darkness, and the Truth

Greetings Bride of War,

I find it interesting that You need to proselytize in order to spread
Your version of the Truth. For indeed, Your brand of religion is simply
a version of the substantial reality underlying all existence (and
non-existence for that matter.) Chaos is a way to find the Truth but it
is not the only way.

Is there any realm of any other god or goddess that inspires mortals so?
I can name many. In fact, I would venture to state that ALL of Us
inspire Our followers thus. If We were not capable of such inspiration,
Our various Orders AS THE MORTALS OF SAPIENCE KNOW IT would cease to
exist. But then, Creation is vast... Mortals, I think, make the error
that this world is the only one upon which We Gods manifest Ourselves.
The world is much larger than this continent, this universe is much
larger than this world and the multiverse is much larger than this
universe... but does the chain of Being stop there? Only We Gods know
for sure...

I think, though, Your post was an attempt to convince the mortals that
Chaos was the only way to arrive at the Truth. I am here to say that it
is not. Darkness is also a way to the Truth, as is the realm of Dreams,
the Moon... War... even Light. Mortals were given free will so that they
can decide WHICH path they choose to take to the Truth. We Gods can
attempt to influence the mortals to follow OUR path until purple
elephants fly across the skies of Arcadia, but in the end they will find
the Truth. Just as We have found the Truth, so shall they...

There are many paths that one can take to reach the summit of a
mountain. You can begin your journey by wandering haphazardly along the
various paths for all eternity, perhaps reaching the summit by chance
alone. You can begin the journey by seeking out one who has traveled all
the paths and is able to tutor, guide and mentor you along your journey.
What path do you choose?

The last I have to say about this topic is this: When the student is
ready, the teacher will appear.

Go in Darkness,
Lord Twilight Trismegistus
