A New Creation myth, Part Two:

Continuing now with the theoretical creation myth, we shall begin at the point of the second sacrifice. Remember, the Great Star has just been broken apart into infinite pieces of matter in which to create the material universe. These infinite atoms, in about 100 different types, now swirl outward in clusters of new stars, and galaxies, and planets, and moons.

8. The universe is born! The children of GOD cry out in joy at the wonder of his creation, for it is a most magnificent sight. The multitude of shapes, colors, patterns and play of light in darkness are as the most beautiful work of art ever conceived. It moves, it changes, it grows and transforms, but it is not yet life as he has imagined it. Ages of time pass, and the desire for more looms within the vast mind of GOD. And so it comes to pass that life is brought to the earth, the planet he has chosen for it to begin upon, for this world he did create to nurture life.

9. And he did make to exist millions of different species of life. Each was part of a great plan that each would depend upon all, and the many should exist as one. Life feeds upon life. Nothing was wasted. Everything had its place. All these new creations were independent of the creator, and of each other. Each had a will of its own and a desire to live and reproduce. The order of the natural earth that was created was a wonder to behold. The earth rose up into mountains, to be washed away into the bottom of the seas, to expose fresh land and new materials constantly. The seas rose up into the sky to become rains, and rivers, to wash the earth clean of unwanted debris. The cycles of the seasons and the elements were continually in motion, providing the optimum conditions for life to prosper.

10. And the flora and fauna did prosper and multiply. Ages of time again passed, and GOD did watch his creation and the drama that he had made was full of wonder and precision. It was a paragon of perfection, yet only the children of GOD could know how glorious it was. Neither the plants, nor the animals, nor the birds or fish, nor any of his tremendous accomplishments of living creation could know of him who had created them. He had an ego to be fed that was not yet filled.

11. The LORD did have his many children, his immaterial angels, that did praise and give unto him glory, but they knew no challenge for they knew him for who and what he was. Even though he had created them with the free will to oppose him, they knew of him and no other. In his great power he wanted praise from those who had more of a challenge to make such a choice, so he created human beings. These were creations that would have more than just the bodies of animals, they would have imaginations that could know of GOD. They would have power and intelligence that would make them rulers of all the world, for they would have the ability to imagine things which they could not see. Animals could imagine anything that was a part of the natural world of the material. Humans would be able to imagine this too, as well as that which they had never seen in reality.

12. And so GOD created Human Beings in his own image. Male and female he did create them, as with all other animal life upon the earth. Then did GOD say unto Adam that he should obey no other than the LORD, and he should follow his will and direction. And he said then unto the woman Eve, that she should likewise obey no other than Adam, her husband, and should follow his will and direction. Then he did set them out into the world to live and prosper.

13. The man, Adam did then set about to name all of the things upon the earth as GOD had also told him that he should do, and he did go about through the garden, with his wife Eve, and give names to all that he saw therein.

14. Adam, being full of the spirit of the LORD did proceed about this task with zest, for the LORD had so tasked him to do so. Now Eve was inclined to tarry at each new thing as they went, as Adam named it and gave unto her the name to remember. She did begin to fall further and further behind the man as they went. Upon one such occasion, she did not follow Adam for such a time that he did need to go back and find where she was.

15. When Adam did find Eve, she was turned away from him, and upon all fours as an animal so that she could smell a certain flower that had distracted her. Now Adam had never before seen her this way, and he became filled with a desire for her that did distract him away from his task of naming. He then went over to her and was upon her. And the serpent was with him, and did straighten with his desire and enter into her.

16. As was Adam so engaged with his mate, he did hear the voice of the LORD then, calling for him, but he answered not. Again did GOD call for him, yet Adam did not answer, and he bade Eve that she should not answer either. And, together then, they hid themselves from the LORD until Adam had spilled his seed into her womb.

17. Then they hid themselves with shame, for they knew then that they had disobeyed GOD. And when GOD did find them, he knew what they had done, and his anger waxed against them both. And first he did condemn Eve, for she was to follow and obey Adam and she did not, but did lead him to follow her. Then did he condemn Adam, for he set to follow Eve and was then tempted to put his desire for her before the will of the LORD.

18. And GOD did command that they should be naked no more, for the man hath not the power to resist her temptations. And he did then curse Eve for acting like unto an animal, and said that for so being, the firstborn son of that union should be like unto an animal because of that sin. And he did then cast them both out of the garden.

19. Now there was argument between GOD and his mate, for she saw no evil in what Eve had done, and did not agree that the man and woman should be so punished. But the LORD was adamant in his decision, and accepted not any change in his will. And the GODDESS did veil her animosity and submit to him.

20. It did come to pass years later that the family of Adam and Eve was large and growing, and they did build great temples and altars unto the LORD, and did praise him by day and night. And the GODDESS approached the LORD and asked why she was not honored, for she was the mother of all creation, and it was not right that she should not be known unto them that dwelleth upon the earth as well. And he rebuked her and put her back. He had created her as well as the rest of the universe. It was all his idea, and none of it could have come about if he had not decided it should not be so. The world was his creation alone, and these people were also his alone, and she had no place to interfere with his will. This argument went on for some time, but the result was always the same. The animosity for the LORD grew within her. Hatred began to grow in her as well. The GODDESS did seethe in her own thoughts and began to conspire against the LORD.

21. She had seen once how the first man was tempted away from GOD without any intentions at all. The very nature of this material world that they had created was more potent than any thought or spirit. The senses and sensations were enough to overpower even the most dedicated of the faithful. The spirit of GOD was in his words and his works. He was intangible to them, and had to be reached through the windows of the soul. Her essence was in every real thing around them. She had an advantage here in this material world, and it was only a matter of time before she began to use it. If he would not give her the least amount of credit for her part in creation, then she would take it herself, and even more.

22. And she worked her will in secret against him. She set desire in the women, with whom she shared an affinity, that they would tempt their mates away from the LORD. She did bring about cold, rain, snow, lightning, and wind, to distract the people away from their faith. She brought hunger, pain, disease, and suffering, to strain the belief in GOD that the people had. And the LORD did discover her plan, and her secret works, and he confronted her with his accusations. The heavens did shake with the bitter arguments that ensued. Many of the angels which were also her children did side with her, and the battle raged for some time. Then did the LORD cast out the GODDESS from heaven, and the rebellious angels with her, and they took up abode upon the earth.

23. Then did GOD alone command from on high, and the Holy angels that were faithful to him. But the GODDESS was now among men, and it was here she held the most power, though she no longer stood at the side of the LORD. And she continued to war against him and to corrupt the people away from him. It seemed as though he did not stand a chance, for he could do little to stop the plagues and curses which she brought out of the earth upon those who did not accept her rule. She taught them fear, greed, envy, lust, and conquest. . She taught them science and sorcery. She gave them weapons and tactics. She taught them war and slavery. In a very short time, she had corrupted the entire civilization of humanity, and the world was exhalted in wickedness.

24. The LORD did yet speak through the remaining few that held their faith true to him. And he did demand, and command, and threaten to destroy everything. The prophets proclaimed that the LORD held everlasting salvation for the faithful, while only eternal damnation awaited those who followed the devil. (which she was now called) But this had little impact upon the masses. She had told them that they were no different than any other animal, and that this life was all they would have ever. She told them they must live now, and live for themselves, or this world shall only be hell for them. As they believed her, they did sell out their very souls, and the light of GOD did grow dim upon the world.

25. And he did then instruct his faithful servant Noah to build the ark and save the righteous from his wrath. Then he flooded the world to eliminate the wickedness that she had caused to become of his wonderful creation. But when the waters receded, and civilization began to grow again, so did she begin again to take his glory away from him. And GOD did begin to contemplate the situation, and what he might do to overcome this curse that she had placed upon his creations. He saw that the material world was far too absorbing for his spirit to control. She had the advantage. There was not enough impact through dreams, visions, or prophets to bind the people to his will. He would have to resort to other means, but he had no desire to destroy the world again.

26. Then did GOD resolve to give unto the devil the material world, but he would keep his faithful few aside, and protect them from her curses. And so it was until these too began to drift into evil ways. The only thing left to do was to make another sacrifice. He would allow the devil enough power to destroy herself and all of her followers in time. For their way was of the individual, and with everything and everyone divided apart, they would eventually dissolve into the nothing from which they came. So he did return to earth in the flesh to teach his way and the requirements for salvation. He sent to the world his son, Jesus Christ, to preach the truth and gather the righteous to return home to heaven.
