Part 1 - Life Under the Sun: Oracle 1
Enlightenment and Renewal
Miles don’t matter,
Neither does time.
Infinity can be found in a single space, but is so diverse that it will never be repeated, only reimagined—unconstrained by what we now know as natural law,
The physical plane is simply one realm of many that in this moment we perceive more easily than the rest,
And aging is nothing more than the current progression, which marks the present bend, in an eternal stream flowing ever onward to an unknown shore.
The fruit of enlightenment is not tasted only by those who believe, but a belief in the truth from which it grows is required to be nourished by its nectar, or else be cut off like a dead limb--
For no bad thing can possibly persist, and no good thing will ever be lost.
No good thing will ever be lost.

Do the waters of life gather inside of you, or are you a broken reservoir that refuses to be filled?
Have you repaired your walls, but let filth collect on your shore and in your depths?
Purge it out if you can, but to those who are weak, fear not. For there will come a day when all will be made new, when every willing soul will be cleansed.
But to those who refuse to leave their dry and solitary lands, there will come a fire to burn the air and reclaim all breath.
Then, when the light departs and the flames are extinguished nothing will be left that was rejected, and all that remains will be, simply, oblivion--
An endless night, never again to be interrupted by the light of day.
____________________
And within the darkness there will be found:
Anger with nothing to rage against,
Lust without anything to desire,
Pride with no thing to honor it,
Fear with no place to hide,
Souls devoid of life,
Death with no victim to claim,
The soundless scream that never ceases,
Despair fully realized.
____________________
And what dwells within the well-watered lands of undying light will be equally foreign:
Joy without sorrow to dampen it,
Passion with no selfishness to betray it,
Humility that puts no life above another,
Peace that is perfect and complete,
Souls shining brighter than the stars,
Life without death,
The song of all creation singing in perfect harmony,
Love that never fails.

Oh wanderer! On which side of the horizon will you find your rest, when the night is separated from the day?
Neither does time.
