One of Many

Doubts of ownership.

As the weather shifts to cooler temperatures, we shift into another mode, ourself. I suppose, upon reflection, that there is a sense of foreboding in both main seasons: as such, Las Vegas really only has a summer and winter, with autumn and spring only the intermission between each. The summer brings one set of memories to the surface, and the winter, another set. Spring and autumn held their own rituals as well, but these times signal for us a time for preparation. We must refocus and hone our skills anew in the interest of keeping up appearances. Each year is difficult, each dark holiday and anniversay unpleasant, but we do know that each year it fails to kill us, and in that there is hope.

On another note, security was breached the other evening when James--small James--broke down and told the fiance about one of the rituals. The Shadows are ever-present, even now, and I write this with great anxiety. However, I also write this in the hopes that if Tannah were correct, we may recieve further feedback.

Years ago there was a ritual performed in which our soul was promised to the Hidden God. It was sealed and unbroken. It was also done in such a way that even if we were to break free, it would still be only a borrowed soul, on our part, as after that moment it was no longer ours. I will not delve into the details of this ceremony for reasons, again, of inner security.

Tannah told us that biblicaly, no one but God can have our soul. He says this is illustrated in John, 10:28-30.

28) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30) I and my Father are one.

No man, yes. But another god?

Then that brings into question, again, our faith. If we are truly Christian, then we believe in One True Living God. We also believe that any other spirits or so-called dieties would be the creation of this One God, and therefore we would also believe that the creation cannot be more powerful than the Creator. Furthermore, that these demons or would-be dieties only have any conceivable power to those who believe in those powers. For instance, a demon cannot harm someone who is not open to it.

Why then, these doubts? The fear of the Shadows, who are the minions of this Hidden God. If we fear the Shadows, then we fear this Hidden God. And if we fear this Hidden God and believe He has our soul, then we do not believe in the power of our God. This has caused an immense struggle within us. This faith crisis grows increasingly darker.
