The Book of None
21:1. And it came to pass that the creator of all things heard the pleas of the pinnacle fauna of Tsai and revealed to the founders, that there existed, beyond the event horizon, in the first quadrant of the fifth universe, at its most equidistant edge, a peculiar creature, a paradox of creative innovation, the most conflicted yet intellectually nimble of all of God's pinnacle fauna.
21:2. To such, the Creator had, through the exercise of agency, made accessible the fruit of opposition, and in partaking thereof, the creature added to the yang of instinct, the ying of reason.
21:3. And behold, unto this creature, the creator had foreordained and had endowed within it, the capacity and the calling to bring into balance the Anagram and to restore the propagation of the Chartosi.
21:4. Yet behold, the Creator beseeched, and by admonition warned, that the creature's strength was equally its weakness; for behold, the schism of these divergent intelligences made this most peculiar of all God's pinnacle beings prone to rebel against reason and worship raw ritual and cold convention; or to revile against instinct and regal inflexible intellectualism and unbounded learning, devoid of wisdom and restraint.
21:5. Furthermore, the Creator warned, the creature could also reject both reason and instinct to devolve into a schizophrenic existence of malcontent and dissonance; to thereby deny the power of order and organization and the liberation of intuition and spontaneity; and to fall speedily upon the path of dark oblivion with its woe of death and damnation, of non-existence and nothingness.
21:6. Yet, in the end, the Creator left to the Founders, the decision to set the creature upon the path of it and our destiny, whether for good or for evil, whether for salvation or rebounding renewal in a future in which God, in his wisdom, would not yet reveal.
