Chapter 41 - The legacy

Chapter 41

The dichotomy of angels and demons, often portrayed as polar opposites, can be viewed as two sides of the same coin. It's something that humans forget; we keep our feeble and simple minded thought that these two beings were two separate entities. The holy book that mankind has been reading and following for centuries has ingrained this belief in us, leading to a narrow perspective on the complexity of good and evil. However, a deeper understanding reveals that angels and demons may not be as different as we once thought, blurring the lines between light and darkness.

Beings of pure energy and intention, they both possess the ability to influence and guide humanity in ways that are not always easily distinguishable. Ultimately, it is up to us to look beyond the traditional distinction and recognize the interconnectedness of these celestial beings in our lives. These beings are divided into three orders, from the highest, called Seraphim, to the lowest called simply angels.

Humanity has heard numerous stories and tales of these beings in many books and religious texts, each offering a unique perspective on their nature and purpose. Despite the diversity of beliefs surrounding celestial beings, one common thread remains: their presence in our lives serves as a source of comfort, guidance, and inspiration.

Nobody neither questioned nor took the liberty to truly delve into the complexities of these beings. They were depicted as beings of light. And they are the silent protectors of every living creature on this planet. Stories that have been passed down through generations often highlight the benevolent and protective nature of celestial beings, instilling a sense of awe and reverence in those who hear them. These stories remind us of the interconnectedness between the physical world and the spiritual realm, offering hope and solace in times of uncertainty.

While the story of the demons was filled with darkness, fear, and death, the total opposite of an angel, mankind was so blind to accepting the fact that demons were angelic beings who had fallen from grace. This misunderstanding led to a deep-rooted fear and distrust of demons, perpetuating their negative reputation throughout history.

However, just like angels, demons also have the potential for redemption and transformation, teaching us valuable lessons about forgiveness and second chances. The only sin they committed was to question God's will, as they saw humans as more favored by their creator and given the freedom to make choices, unlike them, who were confined to the will of their master.,

A simple thought or question about the will of God was enough to cast them out of heaven. And roam the human realm, gaining physical form, because God chose not to destroy his creations, with this act of mercy allowing them to continue existing as fallen angels, forever seeking redemption and forgiveness. But many fallen angels were consumed with greed as they felt freedom and wished to remain in control of their own destinies. This eternal struggle between free will and divine authority continues to shape the fate of these fallen beings as they navigate the complexities of their existence in a constant battle between their desires and their ultimate purpose.

This story serves as a reminder of the consequences of questioning divine authority and the importance of humility in accepting God's will. Death was not allowed to touch them; they were condemned to live forever in exile. Yet, despite their punishment, a few still longed for redemption and a chance to be forgiven by their creator.

The gods of life and death are the same but separate entities, each with their own domain and responsibilities. It was very difficult for humans to understand and comprehend; having a god that has the personality of an ordinary human was a concept that challenged their beliefs and perceptions. No mortal being would agree to this; those who wrote the holy books desperately wrote information to blind mankind and redirect their belief in just accepting what they wrote. In monotheistic belief systems, God is usually viewed as the supreme omnipotent being, creator, and principal object of faith. In polytheistic belief systems, a god is a spirit or being believed to have created or controlled some part of the universe or life, for which such a deity is often worshipped.

But all these were created and manufactured by mortal beings to gain some understanding and control over the unknown forces of the world. The concept of a higher power, or deity, serves as a way for humans to make sense of their existence and find meaning in their lives.

In this pursuit, the idea of a divine being or higher power emerges as a comforting presence, offering not only answers to existential questions but also a sense of purpose and direction. For many, belief in a deity fosters a moral compass, guiding actions and behaviors through a structured set of values often associated with religious teachings. This connection to a higher power can instill hope, particularly during challenging times, as individuals often turn to their faith for solace and understanding.

Furthermore, the rituals and communal aspects of spirituality can cultivate a sense of belonging and shared identity, allowing people to bond over common beliefs and practices that transcend individual experiences. In a world rife with uncertainty, the notion of a deity provides a stable anchor, inviting individuals to look beyond their immediate circumstances and consider a greater narrative that ties their lives to something larger.

Whether through the lens of organized religion or personal spirituality, the quest for meaning often leads individuals to explore the divine, ultimately shaping their worldview and influencing their relationships with others and the universe itself. Thus, the concept of a higher power not only addresses existential inquiries but also serves as a profound source of inspiration, resilience, and connection in the human experience, illustrating our inherent desire to seek out significance in our lives amidst the chaos and unpredictability of existence.

this wasn't proven to be true; we just accepted it as a fact.

But in this reality, angels and demons were the same. The only difference was that demons are no longer following the will of God, and these beings were the symbol of evil while angels are still bound to the will and are the symbol of good.

In this way, the idea of a higher power can be seen as a reflection of our own internal struggles and conflicts between good and evil, highlighting the complexity of human nature. It challenges us to confront our own beliefs and values, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

These creatures were in a never-ending state of conflict because they both wanted to establish the validity of their choices.

This eternal battle between angels and demons serves as a metaphor for the constant struggle between light and darkness within each individual. It reminds us that we have the power to choose which side we align ourselves with.

But we forget that all these so called theories were based on human perception and that reality is often much more complex and nuanced than we realize. Our perceptions can be clouded by bias and limited understanding, leading us to oversimplify the complexities of the world around us.
