The Holy One, Spirit, self-contained and all alone, wished to become conscious of itself and thus, split itself in two. The Other emerged and by creating the Other, Spirit had a means to become conscious of itself, achieving the original intention. Consciousness was created. The First Deviation From The Holy One whom many know as ‘The Creator,’  or simply, ‘God,’ emerged from Spirit, and from then on, his story of creation continues to evolve.

Remember, The Creator was all alone, only conscious of being.

Nothing existed but The Creator; the absolute, divine being, all-powerful and all-knowing.

He held an intention, but hadn’t acted upon it yet, finding himself in a state of non-action, stagnation. So, The Creator decided to act; he decided to create a little game, yet unfortunately there was one major issue.

There was no one to play the game with.

So he created a beautiful goddess, Illusion, just for the purpose of his enjoyment, his happiness. For Love.

Once Illusion existed and The Creator told her the purpose of her existence, she breathed,

“Alright, then let’s play the most beautiful, exciting, delightful game - you just have to promise me one thing.”

“And, what is that one thing?”

“You must promise me that you’ll do whatever I tell you to do.”

The Creator agreed.

And so, following her instructions, he made all of Creation.

Remember The Beginning, when The Creator made the heavens and the earth.

The earth was formless and empty, darkness lingered over the surface of the deep and The Creator there hovered.

And thus, it began with The Word. The Creator said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. The Creator saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. The Creator called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” Remember the First Day.

With The Word, The Creator said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water, to separate the deep.” Thus, The Creator made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. The Creator called the vault “heaven.” Remember the Second Day.

With The Word, The Creator said, “Let the water under the heaven be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” The Creator called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” The Creator saw that it was good. Then The Creator said, “Let the land produce plant-life: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit and seed within, according to their various kinds.” And the land produced plant-life: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed according to their kinds. The Creator saw that it was good. Remember the Third Day.

With The Word, The Creator said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them give light on the earth.” The Creator created two great lights—the greater light known as The Sun, to govern the day and the lesser light known as The Moon, to govern the night. The Creator placed them in the vault of heaven to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. Stars were then placed in the heavens. The Creator saw that it was good. Remember the Fourth Day.

With The Word, The Creator said, “Let the water flow with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the heavens.” So, The Creator created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water flows and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. The Creator saw that it was good. The Creator blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” Remember the Fifth Day.

With The Word, The Creator said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” The Creator created the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. The Creator saw that it was good. Then The Creator said, “Let us make Man in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So The Creator created Man in his own image, in the image of The Creator he created them; they were known as male and female. The Creator blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Then The Creator said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so. The Creator saw all that he had created, and it was very good. Remember the Sixth Day.

Thus, the heavens and the earth were completed in all their grandiosity; complete in all their glory. Remember the Seventh Day, The Creator had finished the work he intended on doing; so he rested from all his work. Then The Creator blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creation.

After the creation of the heavens and the earth, of light and dark, of the plants and animals, of male and female, years passed, and, after the children of men had increased in those days, beautiful, healthy daughters walked the land.

Illusion continued,

“How magnificent is this world of mine you created? Ahh, yes; it is so beautiful!”

And it was so. The Creator had created the world of Illusion, a direct representation of the desires of Illusion herself, made manifest.

The Garden of Eden - Nature.

But, Illusion was bored of it as it stood, and so she asked The Creator for more.

“I want you to take Man and make him more intelligent, give him awareness - give him light - so that he can appreciate your creation.”

Illusion, to start the game, told The Creator to place himself inside the heart of each man and that it would be her job in stopping each one from remembering who and what they are. In doing so, listening to Illusion, The Creator instilled a specific quality within the sons of heaven, lust, so that Man can be given light.

And it was so. As above, so below.

The angels, the sons of the heavens, saw and lusted after the humans, and said one to another: “Behold, we will choose wives from among the children of men, and will create for ourselves children. What it would be to create, just as The Creator!”

Then they all swore together, and bound themselves mutually by a curse, and thus, they fell.

They fell from grace.

They. We. I. Our us, fell from grace.

Being human is being a man of light, of knowledge, holding the ability to choose, to remember who he is and the ability to create what he can be. He was given the gift of Free Will, that in opposition of, Divine Will.

Man, once in harmony with Nature, following the will of the Divine and appreciating the beauty and bounty of the world that had been created for him, grew in knowledge and began to feel the temptation of lust, pride, and self-reliance. Man thus departed from Nature, becoming an alien.

Man began his journey away from Eden through his conceit that he would "become as The Creator; to become God." Yet, as soon as he left the Divine Plan for the forbidden knowledge of creation, his stated objective became the ‘repair of the world’ through the intervention and imposition of human knowledge - the very lustful and conceited device that caused the fall from grace in the first place. Man saw himself as separate and, inevitably, above Nature, though always quick to identify himself as Nature's savior.

Yet remember, the creation of the world was a divine act, and everything that was created was good. However, it was over time, through the introduction of knowledge, that humans began to stray. They became lost, and as they strayed from the path of righteousness, it can be seen that they began to question the Divine Will.

The Holy One became a distant memory, and so they began to worship various gods, engaging in practices that were previously forbidden by The Creator; destruction and fear became commonplace. The chaos and conflict that arose after humans fell from grace was a direct result of their rebellion against the Divine Will. By turning away from the guidance and teachings of The Creator, humans had disrupted the natural order of the universe and brought about suffering and destruction. Humans fought against each other and against the forces of nature, and the world was no longer the paradise that it had once been. Earthquakes, floods, and other disasters struck with increasing frequency, causing even more death and destruction.

The Creator was disappointed and saddened by the actions of its creations, but it did not abandon them. He was always present in the world, observing the actions of Man and offering guidance and help when needed. Despite the chaos and conflict that had arisen after the fall from grace, there was still hope. Illusion kept winning the game, but she could only prevail for so long.

Understand, The Origins of The Fallen is one of betrayal and rebellion against Divine Will. It is a story of the consequences of turning away from the path of righteousness and of the ongoing struggle to find the way back to the grace of the Divine.
