Chapter 1

Lilith is born

The broken word or a twisted universe

I love this beautiful dark-haired girl. And she can not, will not, should not, dare not love me. But with all that’s known to me,

I would pull the moon from its orbit

And crush it with hand and fist, to bits.

I would break and crush it with these hands

I would pour a mountain of moondust upon your feet

I will scream and yell or screech and howl before the master of the universe.

Looking upon, she, that is the most beautiful

Flower in an ocean of night stars.

You can not and will not, you should not

And may not press your hand against my cheek

Run your tears down my chest.

Breaking your heart onto my soul.

Bending away to your will, as i cast away my freedom

Like the moon.

I stand out of the reach of your mortal self and in the infinite shadow of your beautiful light.

Title: gabriella

Evil: as deep as the waters of the earth

As shallow as a puddle

In every shadow of man

In the tears of the weak

Evil is the collections of weakness

Evil lives in the tender touch of mother

In the arms of the strong

Across the backs of the weak

In the hands of the knight as

He finds himself polishing his on armor

Evil stands in the smile of the righteous

Men.

The foundation of faith

Lets began at the time of a young solar system.

The great planet marduk shines like a beacon in the blackness of space. The solar system was turning and the large stones in the cool void were spinning with the chaos that comes from youth. This supergiant of a planet boiled and baked from its depths to its surface. It’s surface changes as a continuous wave. It moved as the great dragon which filled the sky its upper atmosphere was filled with broken clouds of black ash and smoke. The great beast of the solar system was graced with 30 small satellites and 11 moons. Time passed as it has been known to do and the great planet shook as waves of pain collided with sol our bright shining star. Chaos took hold of the solar system as the once-great planet crumble apart. Fire streaked across the solar system and for a short time turned black to light and back to black.

Sol was kit by great burning stone and its mass was increased 7 fold which caused the great planet to spread itself within the solar systems. The small objects pushed out into the depths of space as others nested across the solar system.

Let jump forward about 1 million yr., the creator of all looked down upon the sol system and took notice of the tiny third rock from the sun. So you’ve heard the story how he cooled the earth and condensed the mist of the sky and made earth firm and water abundant. God created life across the face of the earth

And he knew it was good

So this is where our understanding of the bible become rounded off, there one school of thought that thinks that man has been on this planet for a little over 8ooo yrs. And others believe that we’ve been here for 100’s of thousands of years. We know that god made dinosaurs and that they date back millions of years.

The idea that any of these numbers hold any truth to who we are and how we got here are impossible to prove. If we round off the truth to this world or the solar system that this planet has nested in then we truly know nothing of worth. It does not matter how deep we drill or dig, we can not reconstruct the truths of the past.

As for those who believe that human life began 8000 yrs ago, please explain written languages that test older than 8000 yrs. The cave paintings that date back 100 thousand yrs. Or the handprints on cave walls that date back even older.

Remember that if you round off your existence then you’re excepting a usable lie.

The monkey in use all

Faith is the ability to hold firm to the concept of a higher being. That the rights and rituals developed to allow us to have balance in our conduct or faith.

We are the children of god and we were made in his image.

Science has given a description of the first man and woman that cause theologians to give argument over the creation of man. The church in most cases needs creation to be a round peg that fits in a round hole. Proof not needed, stated as blind faith.

Scientist, having dug deep beneath the surface of the earth and found solid undeniable proof. This evolution of bones that construct a clear view of our time on this planet.

Adam and eve would seem to have been two small monkeys like humanoids that were the foundation for all mankind.

The question is how many humans did god create, or does adam and eve mean, many ???

These questions have no answers and in truth, there’s no reason to have any answers. I say, what we see is truth enough for us to believe in one’s self. And if you have faith in god then the rest should not matter.

This is my simple application for faith as i know it today.

Yes, i believe in eden or better said, home, as you can know it. We crouched next to the earth always attentive to the vibrations of the darkened forest floor. Timidly waiting to climb into the leaves of the trees where they slept during the dark of night.

We don’t know how long they live like this but we do know they survived with their limited brains and weak forms. They, over thousands of years, began to understand the place they lived. This place, home, had grown too small as their numbers had spread themselves across the forest floor. Food was being depleted faster as the gathering seasons past and the people grow. They were forced to change the structure of their village as parts of them migrated to other parts of the forest. Thousands of years after that they were divided by habits and food stock and a greater amount of sunlight,

Once upon a time, a man stepped to the edge of the great forest. He stood there many days before, waiting thinking with fear and apprehension freezing his developing brain. His sleeve of wives and children, old ones and hunters stood back in the dark forest.

Let call the leader adam, and his first wife eve and also we might call his followers (legions),. Understand that as the leader he knew he could only lead those who could follow. Day by day his legion moved closer toward the light, and one day adam felt a small hand grasping his own. Eve looked over at adam and crouched next to her mate.

She could, for the first time in her life, feel the radiating plus of the sun. Day by day his legion grows nearer to adams side and even the young ones have ventured into the shadow of the elders.

I would love to tell you that this was the beginning of modern man, but i’d be lying. But for the first time in man’s history, we proved that there was something greater than ourselves. The sun and the moon hung above us in the sky. It assured us that is was there forever. We measured our days and nights by its rising and setting. It warmed our flesh and provided light in a once night.

As eve placed her hand into the light of day, she could fill its burning rays against her skin. She could fill the warmth climbing up her hand to her arm and her cold body began to beat faster. Her cheeks felt h and her chest was as well. That was one day of many.

Adam stood in the edge of the shadow. He moved his hand toward the light. Adam felt eve’s hand take him, and she pulled him into the light. Eve smiled at him as he sank back into the darkness of the forest. Eve stood there alone in the light and for the first time she felt sorrow in her heart.

Adam turned away that night as eve approached him. He turned way and grunted angrily. He motioned for eve to leave and then cribed a young girl from a group of females standing by the base of their sleeping tree. He forced her to the ground and mounted her as his new bride.

Eve felt the pain of betrail as her days as queen came to a end.

With stick and stone eve was forced from her home, her land, and her people. Adam lifted his new bride and called her eve as was the nature of the culture of this tribe.

As eve moved through the trees and was forced away by large and small tribes, she grew weak in the darkness of the forest. Eve walked to the north of her home with the east alway on her left and came upon a village near the edge of the forest. The tribe was unusually quiet as she made her way to the center of the village. Eve found that many lay dieing and dead. There where no men on guard and there where on screeches from the women to warn the men of outsiders among them. The place near the edge of the forest felt very cold and the air was fresh with the smell of rotting flesh.

Eve knew of this as these stories had been told to her by a village elder. She danced for eve and pointed to painting on a stonewall. The earth boiled up death and the water ran hot and fowl.

The earth had turned against them and the water which they drank stank of sulfur.

Eve began to shout and gront and scream as a beast, she wailed until a young boy emerged from the trees on the right side of the village. Soon, more young girls and boys came to eve. Eve danced and the young followed her every step’ soon they where miles from their home and that’s when eve found a great tree that the sun shone thru it enough to warm the earth above its roots.

Fit to lead, she

Eve took control of this tribe and soon her people found themselves standing in the sunlight. The spearfishing had become a game as all could be seen in the bright light of the day. Fish seemed to jump on the spear, and the tribe soon had more dried fish and fruit than one could have ever hoped for this time. After eves many feet, she woke one morn and found many bundles of the tall grass stacked around her body. The skulls of a male and a female ancestor were placed on poles at her side and the tribe had bowed the knee before her. They brought her dried fruit and fish and the fowl of the sky. The bird was cooked over stone with fire beneath. They began to sing a name and they sang the name lilith. Lilith took the hand of a young man and then a young girl and she took them as husband and wife. Lilith knew them that morning, and that night thr tribe eat and drank until they all knew each other. Many months later lilith and her tribe bore the gift of children. The children of lilith wear not as the other, by way of their great strength and size. Her children ruled over the others and soon they were a force among their people.

Lilith would walk the night and lay upon a certain hillside as she watched the tiny fireflies twinkling high in the night sky.

She would sleep on some of those nights, it would be the sleep that was unnatural to the world. There where nights that she would awaken in a space that was not a place. She would find herself free of the vibrations of the earth. She would fill the weight of the world released from her tiny form. Lilith finally awoke in this place, but she could not move her body in this space. Welded to the air around her, and trapped by the light. Lilith felt the room fill with the small creatures that lived in this space. They worked their magic on the flesh of lilith. They sliced her arms off and pull her chest open as they studied every cell in her body. They shone a soft green light on her open flesh. Liliths form grow in mass and stature. That which was small had become huge and heavy. That which was short is now tall and muscled. Lilith held the form of a human goddess. As the lights changed color in the small room, lilith grow in power and the five element of life was amplified 20 fold in every cell in her body.

Some time had past and lilith awoke next to a hill overlooking her village. Months had passed as the leaves of the trees had begun to die.

As her new form glided down the hill, she found herself standing next to a small stream. As lilith looked upon her reflection in the water, she smiled at her powerful form.

Lilith walked into her village and her people ran from her and some summoned the men of the village. Lilith made no attempt to to startle her tribe. She watched as there new leader and his soldiers filled into the center of the village. They looked upon her and shook the tips of there spears at her.

Lilith saw her husband, of course, she had taken all the men to her bed. But this one had been the warm body which she held close, most nights.

He screamed at the tale woman and trust his spear forward and she looked at him and laughed at his effort.

One of the elder girls looked up at lilith and soon she was at her feet on her knees. Slowly they became aware that there mother and leader, had returned and they took there place beneath her feet.

All but four young men stood before her and was not going to give up the powerful positions they had inherited.

Lilith knew that the power they had taken, had poisoned their souls. Lilith saw pride and greed in her children. As she pounded their flash against the rock and ground, she knew that she would have to take their lives. She could not see her actions and she could not no her true nature, but as she drank every last of their blood, but as a goddess she had become a monster, as with, all monsters.

Lilith had no remorse or regret for her actions that day. She did feel the eyes of her people burning against her flesh. She felt fear, vibrating in the village. From that day on she had to rule them with an iron fist. Her people were lead to a place were the soil gleemered in the light of the day.
