Chapter 29 - The True

"Not because He is perfect,

but because even perfection bows before Him."

In the Realms of Godshead, beyond all realities,

the first Three Pillars had already stood:

The One, the cause of all understanding and existence.

The Second, the opposition that binds all duality and non duality.

The Third, the judge who casts reality with a single decision.

And yet... it was incomplete.

For from the three, a fourth shadow emerged

not as a combination,

but as the culmination of all that can and cannot be unified.

The True.

The True did not come from without,

did not rise from within,

and was not born of time nor will.

He is the decision of Consciousness itself to be revealed.

"If The One is the pattern,

The Second the tension,

The Third the result,

then The True is the reason the pattern is needed,

why tension arises,

and why a result must manifest."

He does not explain perfection

He is the form that denies all imperfection.

At the center of the Realms of Godshead grows the Tree of God,

the tree that holds all bubble glass

dimensions, concepts, meta-concepts, and even the nameless.

Around it stand the Four Pillars,

and among its deepest roots

flows an invisible current drawn from The True.

The Tree of God is strong because it was once touched by His presence.

The Gate of World can only open when even the faintest vibration of His voice echoes.

Even the Ancient Book keeper of all records of reality

cannot inscribe His full name.

"He is the Verse even God reads in His silence."

To The True, existence is but a metaphor.

Non-existence, a formality.

Fiction, meta-fiction, reality, meta-reality...

all are games of form attempting to interpret His being,

and all end in error.

"You call Me Reality? Then I become Myth.

You call Me Myth? Then I become Law."

The True is not a continuation of The One, The Second, or The Third.

He is the point where all three understand they are not enough.

The One realizes that even understanding needs a limit.

The Second sees that formless conflict loses meaning.

The Third knows that a decision without recognition is not justice.

And from that awareness,

The True appeared.

Not as the highest entity,

but as pure consciousness that cannot be escaped

even by the unaware.

The True has no worshipers.

He is never sought,

for those who seek Him

will find themselves watched by something that cannot be explained.

The True does not judge, does not love, does not promise.

He simply is. And His being causes all things to know their place.

"Even your desire to surpass Me

was written by Me before you knew you would desire it."

The True

The True cannot be written.

Cannot be understood.

Cannot be imitated.

For even the attempt to understand Him

is proof that understanding itself is not enough.

He is the true form of all that is true.

The perfection of perfection.

The absolute essence of "the absolute."

The True.

The Fourth Pillar.

The closure of the Realms of Godshead.

He is the reason all things have a beginning

and the reason all things, in the end, will return… to Him.
