Empyrean Truth

-
Among the Aethons, one of the great Cosmic Aspects is Truth.
To the Aethons, Truth is not limited to that which is perceived with the senses, or that which is reached with pure rational deduction. Their Truth is mystical. As one of the Aspects, Truth emanates directly from the unknowable Source, and as such, is transcendent. It is perennially revealed - and as long as there is time, it can never be fully known.
The Empyrean idea of Truth is that of the revelation of Cosmic Order, which is equated with a gestalt Cosmic Will. Truth fills existence with Purpose.
The Aethons believe that though this Purpose is diverse in emanation, it is singular at its core.
The Aethons know that Truth is both a Cosmic Absolute, and a personal revelation, and therefore a personal quest - for each Aethon to discover their own purpose - their own lot of Truth, so to speak.

The Dawn II

Akaon tried to channel the fire that burned within him, giving shape to the innummerable hopes and dreams contained within his being. He created perfection effortlessly, each creation better to the one before, and yet, it was all futile. For all his power, everything was to him as a passing plaything was to a child – an inconsequential triviality, whilst Akaon yearned for the profound, the unknown, that over which he had no mastery. So in his solitude, Akaon begun to despair, for what was to some the ultimate liberty, the ability to do all they willed, also became their prison. What meaning was there in existence if all was preordained in a certain manner, if all that came to pass was already perfect, or happened exactly as they willed it? And then the eternity that encompassed him acquired substance, and from nothing, something came to pass. A second impossibility occurred, one that had come to balance the first. A being unfolded from the darkness, a wondr...

The Concept of Empyrean

-

So what is "Empyrean"? Empyrean derives from the Medieval Latin empyreus, an adaptation of the Ancient Greek ἔμπυρος empyrus "in or on the fire", which when ascribed to a person describes someone who is "of fire" or "contains fire". Empyrean has been used in ancient and medieval times to describe the higher realms of heaven where everything is divine fire. In our context, an Empyrean (sometimes also referred to as an "Incarnate") is an Aethon who has incarnated as a human. Therefore in that context we are actually talking about empyrean humans, but that is needless semantics. So what is an Aethon, then? The word Aethon is also ancient greek in origin. It translates as "fiery" or "burning" and has the same root as Aether which is, in other words, the quintessence of heaven. An Aethon could be a being of the flame of heaven, or someone who burns with that flame. In our context, an Aethon is very...

Arandor - An Age of Defiance

-
Image
Mankind fell. It toppled from its high-perched seat, where it once gazed upon the universe with boundless ambition. Now tyrant-gods reign in gigantic citadels, whilst free men and women have turned into subjugated worshipers, or survive as marauding mutants, daring the new perils of the warped wilderness and the red desolation. This is the Age of the Fall. Six Tyrants now rule over thousands of Chosen, and millions of human slaves, worshipers and sacrificial victims. Together they are known as the Hexad, and are agreed upon as the official and only religion of Arandor. The Hexad have designated themselves as gods, bestowing gifts upon their chosen, rescuing their faithful from their tremendous ire, and punishing all other gods, seen as false. For a thousand years they’ve reigned, destroying all knowledge of the past, and completely rewriting the world’s history to suit them. They are fickle, whimsical gods. They are cruel, sadistic beings. But who can d...
