<p>The world we live in is infinitely more complex and much more interesting than most people believe. Unfortunately, in our choice to disbelieve in the natural powers of the universe, we are making it more and more bland and uninteresting. Magick (yes with a K), is one of the things we gave up in service of religion and the social order at a high cost for ourselves.</p>
<p>To begin with, let us delve deeper into a true understanding of magick. It is the conscious manipulation of energy through the human mind. If we look closer at things, we can see that everything is eventually made of energy. If the object you want to manipulate is made of energy, you are made of energy, and the air between you and that object is made of energy, then why can&#8217;t we influence one energy with another through more energy. Well, we actually can, but it does require a tremendous amount of concentration, which needs a lot of time and effort to cultivate.</p>
<p>It is ironic how the religion that most fights against magick is the one in which magick is praised under another name: miracles. When a person heals the sick without a medical procedure we rush to call it a miracle and name him a saint. But what has that person done be it before or after his death? This &#8220;saint&#8221; has effectively manipulated energy through the power of his consciousness. So, in effect, he performed magick.</p>
<p>If we study the lives of saints and mages, we can deduce that we need three things to be able to do magick/miracles:</p>
<p>1- Belief: Saints and mages believed in their own power and in their own ability to do things. Regardless of what their background belief is, it all boils down to believing in the higher power, whether they call it god, energy, angels, etc&#8230; It doesn&#8217;t matter what they believe in as long as they believe.</p>
<p>2- Energy: Belief alone is not enough if you don&#8217;t have the energy to do it. Saints and mages always performed prayer or meditation rituals in order to increase their energy. Eventually, when they had enough, they could do what they wanted.</p>
<p>3- Wisdom: If you had the belief and the energy, you could perform magick which would probably do more harm than good. Energy is directly connected to karma. If a saint had the power to heal all the sick, he might be harming a great number of them who are sick for a reason beyond physical. Through sickness, people are often dealing with past karma or learning new and important life lessons. By healing them prematurely, the mage may have inadvertently set that person&#8217;s life off course. This is why a saint or a mage are more known for their wisdom than for their magick.</p>
<p>In conclusion, magick and miracles are just different names for the same thing. The reason why we&#8217;re not seeing magick more often in the world is because most mages are extremely wise people who only use magick when absolutely needed. However, by being aware of it, each person is able to perform small acts of magick such as cleansing and energizing places and people.</p>

Unfortunately, many people either stopped there and went back to being more negative than before while others took it to the extreme and gambled away their life savings.</p>
<p>As valuable as it is to be positive, it is only the tip of the iceberg of the real message of affirmations and achieving your goals. In my book &#8220;<a href="http://charbeltadros.com/books/7-secrets-to-get-your-prayers-answered/">7 Secrets to Get your Prayers Answered</a>,&#8221; I discussed how prayer without action is useless, if not counterproductive. It is not enough to be positive and look at the bright side of things, but we must also put in the work needed to achieve our goals.</p>
<p>On the other hand, it is also important to acknowledge and recognize the presence of malevolence and negativity. Even if every person in the world started thinking positively, someone&#8217;s positive is another&#8217;s negative. An undertaker&#8217;s positive affirmation is for more people to die, and a doctor&#8217;s positive is for more people to be sick. While this seems negative to us, it is definitely positive to them.</p>
<p>This is why you shouldn&#8217;t be stupid. An experienced gambler can easily manipulate the minds of naive gamblers to get them to bet higher under the guise of being positive so he can rake up his gains. So don&#8217;t be naive. Recognize that there are people out there who do mean you harm, but don&#8217;t be paranoid about them. Ensure your safety and backup plan at all times before you take a risk. I know that most big businessmen talk about taking big risks and all, but it&#8217;s easy to take a risk when you have nothing to lose (or when you have a million dollars to fall back on). And when you look at the big picture, more big risks end up in big failures than in big success.</p>
<p>In conclusion, I&#8217;m not encouraging anyone to be negative, but to be realistic with a sprinkle of positivity. If you can afford to lose it, gamble it; otherwise, hold on and wait for a better opportunity. And remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is a scam, so don&#8217;t fall for it.</p>

<p>Before you read this, make sure to check out previous texts <a href="http://charbeltadros.com/allpatheism/">here</a>. </p>



<p>The four elements of earth, water, wind and fire are neutral parts of existence. They are neither good nor evil, yet they can be used for either. Moreover, good and evil do not exist per se, for what actually exists are order and chaos; however, these two are neither good nor evil themselves in the human definition. Too much of one and too little of another is what can be considered evil. People often mistake order with good and chaos with evil, although these are just as neutral of the elements, for the elements are borne of them. </p>



<p>The Yin Yang symbol is perhaps the best illustration of the principles of order and chaos. If one overcomes the other, the other is borne again from the vanquisher. What separates between order and chaos in the Yin Yang is a curved line and not a straight one; this is to reaffirm that the only true balance between these forces is the lack thereof. Each force is always attempting to take a bit more of the other, and this is what keeps both forces active. If either of the forces becomes content, the other will devour it.  Therefore, the only balance that can exist is a healthy dose of both forces. </p>



<p>While these two forces manifest themselves in nature through the elements, they also manifest themselves through people through their elemental personalities. Some personality combinations are more prone to one force than another; for example, a person who has high levels of fire and wind personalities is more easily influenced by chaos, while a person whith high levels of water and earth sways more towards order. People in whom these imbalances are manifested are agents of chaos and order respectively, and the higher levels of each personality they have in them, the more dangerous they are for the general balance of the world. </p>



<p>In order to diminish the agents of order and chaos&#8217; effect on the general balance, angels and Allpatheists can pair up agents of order with agents of chaos and make them work together.  If they work together long enough &#8211; even if they are coaxed into it &#8211; the temperaments of one will eventually rub off on another which will diminish the high levels in both through promoting the emergence of the missing elements in each. In doing so, more angels can be created. </p>



<p>On the other hand, if left to their own means, agents of order will band with other agents of order and the same goes for agents of chaos, and this is detrimental for the general balance. This has been seen many times thourghout history: the communist era was a collaboration between many agents of order, while the Nazi era was a collaboration between agents of chaos. Each of these eras called upon the intervention of many angels in an avatar capacity to inject the opposite of the force being abused.</p>



<p>In conclusion, agents of order and agents of chaos are the opposite of angels, and they need to be identified and managed by angels before causing imbalances that call upon the intervention of avatars. </p>

<p>Schools nowadays are full of anti-bullying campaigns and trying to teach kids to be nice to one another. While this may work sometimes, it fails miserably most of the time.</p>
<p>But why does it fail?</p>
<p>To answer this question, we should first try to understand the bully. In general, a bully is usually a person who is trying to hide and/or externalize personal perceived defects (such as issues at home or learning difficulties) by intimidating those around him, through threat of violence, to become more like him and less successful.</p>
<p>Schools nowadays teach students to see and understand the bully in this way: as a weak person trying to express himself in the only way he knows. However, when the victims do understand this ans try to approach it in the non-violent way by somehow bringing up this weakness to the bully, they end up getting beat up even worse. In such a case, even if the bully had never intended to actually use violence, he would be even more tempted to do so because his weakness is now threatened to be uncovered.</p>
<p>While it is important to teach bullying victims how to understand the bully, they should also be taught how to be tough. They need to be taught how to protect themselves if the need arises, and they also need to learn how to avoid putting themselves in vulnerable situations.</p>
<p>However, as things are now with schools trying to avoid violence, even in self defense, all they are doing is empowering the bully who may or may not be getting punished by the “authority” and weakening the victim who is forbidden from learning how to protect himself.</p>
<p>This is why we should not only teach our students restraint, but also self defense. Otherwise, they will grow up to be weak and broken adults. And we are seeing more and more of this in the new generation of young adults&#8230;</p>

<p>Before reading this, make sure you read parts <a href="http://charbeltadros.com/shattered-gods-a-new-vision-of-creation/">1</a> and <a href="http://charbeltadros.com/shattered-gods-chronicles-2-angels-of-the-world/">2</a> also.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="451" height="680" src="http://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/avatar.jpg" alt="avatar" class="wp-image-981" title="Shattered Gods Chronicles #3: when avatars move" srcset="https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/avatar.jpg 451w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/avatar-199x300.jpg 199w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/avatar-265x400.jpg 265w" sizes="(max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px" /></figure></div>



<p>The existence of angels in the world is very important, for they tackle community problems before they become world issues. However, these small world imbalances may not always be solved by the angels, or they may be too big for them. When elemental imbalances become too much to handle they evolve into catastrophic proportions of order versus chaos. In these instances, the solution is out of the angels&#8217; hands and into the avatars&#8217;.</p>



<p>Avatars come in many shapes, sizes and configurations. While some religions believe that an avatar is one person who is the incarnation of a god, <a href="http://charbeltadros.com/allpatheism-the-core-tenets/">Allpatheism </a>believes that an avatar isn&#8217;t always just one person. Sometimes, avatars are groups or coalitions of angels working together to restore balance to the world. Usually, only one of the angels in this group becomes famous; however, upon further studying the biography and works of this individual, it becomes clear that they wouldn&#8217;t have reached far on their own without the support of a select group of angels around them. </p>



<p>Most avatars that we know of such as Krishna, Rama, Buddha, Jesus, and many others never worked alone; they were always surrounded by disciples who believed in their teachings and worked for their cause. Without the support of the disciples (who are actually angels coming together), the perceived avatar wouldn&#8217;t have been able to get too far. Therefore, the avatar is actually the group and not the individual. </p>



<p>This would make more sense on a spiritual level since angels have higher balanced levels of energies from all four gods. Once they come together, these energies amplify beyond the sum total of each angel&#8217;s energy, and with enough of it concentrated in a single place, change happens. </p>



<p>No one knows when avatars come; moreover, the world as we know it now is becoming bigger on some fronts and smaller on others. Our consciousness is expanding beyond our solar system while our connection with those around us is becoming faster. Technology is reshaping our world and our very configuration, and archaic religions are becoming obsolete as they reflect the spiritual, physical and emotional needs of an age that is quickly vanishing. It is now evident that the next avatar will have a wider reach and a faster connection with people. With today&#8217;s technology, the avatar group of angels will be bigger and more powerful than ever before, and it will perform feats similar to the gods&#8217; because of the concentration and the amplification of the energies of all these angels. </p>



<p>The advent of the avatar is preceeded by many signs; however, the most important one of all is general unrest in the world. With agents of order and agents of chaos having reached high places in the world, the pendulum is quickly swinging between extreme order and extreme chaos every day. The angels are doing everything they can to restabilise the world, but it&#8217;s becoming more and more difficult. Eventually, they will come together as the next avatar. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/allpatheism.jpg" alt="allpatheism" class="wp-image-915" width="404" height="399" title="The Allpatheist Guide to Finding and Aiding Angels" srcset="https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/allpatheism.jpg 745w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/allpatheism-300x296.jpg 300w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/allpatheism-405x400.jpg 405w" sizes="(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px" /></figure></div>



<p>Allpatheists know that, while the purpose of life is its enjoyment, each Allpatheist has a sacred duty to locate angels within their communities and lend them any assistance possible. In addition to this, Allpatheists know that the capacity to help the angel they find will never ask them to go beyond their personal capabilities. They should never severely inconvenience themselves just to assist the angels, for that goes against the trend of the universe. As an Allpatheist, you need to know full well that whatever the angels need on their missions is well within your power; otherwise, you may call upon the aid of others &#8211; Allpatheists or not &#8211; within your network who may be able to offer that aid. In all cases, Allpatheists will never use force or guile in order to help angels, for these actions will incur more karma than they resolve. Allpatheists always act with honesty and a light touch.</p>



<p>In order to locate angels, Allpatheists simply live their normal lives within the communities where they find themselves. While doing that, Allpatheists &#8211; just like other people &#8211; may meet new people every day. When the Allpatheist&#8217;s skills match the needs of an angel, the universe will make them cross paths. As humans, Allpatheists are prone to make mistakes and may misidentify angels, but if the four angelic signs are located, the chances of incorrect identification are diminished. The four angelic signs are, as with everything else, connected to the four elements, and they are the following:</p>



<p>1- The first sign that you are in the presence of an angel is usually an unexplainable attraction to a candidate-angel&#8217;s character, along with an inner drive to be a part of whatever they are doing. </p>



<p>2- After inquiring further into the candidate-angel&#8217;s mission, the Allpatheist will be able to identify at least one way in which he can assist without having to go out of his way too much or inconveniencing himself and his family.</p>



<p>3- The candidate-angel will already have taken practical and observable steps in working on his mission. The mission should not just be a rough draft but an actual work in progress.</p>



<p>4- While having enough knowledge about his mission, the angel will also have humility and a sense of innocence around them. This is called the <a href="http://charbeltadros.com/the-mark-of-wisdom/">Mark of Wisdom</a>. </p>



<p>Once Allpatheists have been able to identify and observe these four signs clearly in a candidate-angel, then this person is almost surely an angel, and it is the Allpatheist&#8217;s duty to lend whatever assistance is possible. This assistance may take many forms including supplying missing knowlege, using the Allpatheist&#8217;s skills in accomplishing the angel&#8217;s goals, drawing upon the Allpatheist network for assistance, and introducing the angel to people who may be able to help whether they are Allpatheists or not. Each angel&#8217;s mission is different and may call upon more than what is listed above; however, one rule remains standing: the Allpatheist shall never severely inconvenience himself for the angel&#8217;s mission. </p>



<p>While assisting in an angel&#8217;s mission, Allpatheists need to always be aware of their egos and never get too involved in the angel&#8217;s mission; otherwise, it may become corrupted and cease to be the angel&#8217;s mission. An Allpatheist is there as a mentor or an advisor but never as a leader, for that is the angel&#8217;s job. </p>



<p>In the end, while working with angels, Allpatheists will never try to recruit the angels to Allpatheism; however, when angels do ask why they are getting this assistance for free, Allpatheists can explain what our path is. Afterwards, if an angel would like to become an Allpatheist, they are welcome but never forced. </p>

<p>This is the question that has baffled &#8211; and keeps baffling &#8211; billions of people worldwide. Almost every adult, from whatever race, gender, religion or political affiliation has wondered about why we exist. However, in the end, almost all of us agree that we will never know 100%, and the purpose of life will remain a mystery. On the other hand, there always is a chance that it&#8217;s all just a random coincidence.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s talking about life in general&#8230;</p>
<p>Your life is a different matter altogether. It is YOUR life for a reason; you make your choices and decisions&#8230;you also decide your purpose.</p>
<p>Many people live their lives without passion and without purpose, and that&#8217;s a very sad thing to see. Others live with a purpose which is not their own: they major in things they don&#8217;t like and marry people they don&#8217;t know simply because they have fully trusted another person to decide the purpose of their life, and this is even worse to behold.</p>
<p>What each one of us needs to do is to choose what to believe in and to decide what we want our life to mean for us and for the people around us. If it makes you happy to believe in a god, then by all means believe. If it makes you happy to believe there is a higher purpose, believe it. If it makes you happy to believe in reincarnation, go for it. In the end, the universe will keep moving whether or not you believe it is. In the grand scheme of things, you may either be an insignificant spec of dust floating around aimlessly in space, or you may be a driving force without which the universe will cease to exist.</p>
<p>But how can you know which one you are?</p>
<p>YOU decide.</p>

Thus, it had to create another. But it couldn’t do so, for it was everything. So, it broke itself into two. They called themselves Ahriman and Lucifer.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-164 alignright" src="http://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Ahriman-230x300.jpg" alt="Ahriman" width="230" height="300" title="Shattered Gods Chronicles #1: a new vision of creation" srcset="https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Ahriman-230x300.jpg 230w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Ahriman-307x400.jpg 307w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Ahriman-100x130.jpg 100w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Ahriman-150x196.jpg 150w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Ahriman-200x261.jpg 200w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Ahriman-300x391.jpg 300w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Ahriman-450x587.jpg 450w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Ahriman.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px" />Ahriman, in his obsession with order, created the universe in his image. It was made of complete and utter order. Not a speck of dust moved without his knowledge, yet he grew tired of it. That’s when Lucifer, in his witty and rebellious attitude, started nudging things here and there: a planet thrown off course, a star suddenly brightened, a black hole opens. Ahriman loved Lucifer’s games, but he feared and couldn’t handle the chaos, so he would always reset the course of whatever Lucifer nudged. And it was so for eons and eons. Lucifer creates chaos, and Ahriman creates order anew. But they grew tired and bored, so they each broke themselves into two.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-164 alignleft" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DrSWgw488cE/VX7vc9Y1YOI/AAAAAAAADA0/CBvRCimdniw/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/Lucifer%2527s_Heresy_large.jpg" alt="Lucifer%2527s Heresy large" width="230" height="300" title="Shattered Gods Chronicles #1: a new vision of creation"></p>
<p>Ahriman’s order and fear broke into Gaia and Aqua. Gaia, though wise, was plagued with grief, while Aqua, though patient, was ruled by fear. Gaia always criticized and judged the other gods. She also counselled them in their grief, but she could never overcome her own grief, for she was grief itself. On the other hand, Aqua always did his work meticulously, but he was always afraid of limitations. He feared being dependent on the other gods, but he couldn’t help it, for he was fear.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-165 alignright" src="http://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gaia___desktopography_2012_by_bosslogic-d5j53kx-300x188.jpg" alt="gaia desktopography 2012 by bosslogic d5j53kx" width="300" height="188" title="Shattered Gods Chronicles #1: a new vision of creation" srcset="https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gaia___desktopography_2012_by_bosslogic-d5j53kx-300x188.jpg 300w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gaia___desktopography_2012_by_bosslogic-d5j53kx-768x480.jpg 768w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gaia___desktopography_2012_by_bosslogic-d5j53kx-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gaia___desktopography_2012_by_bosslogic-d5j53kx-800x500.jpg 800w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gaia___desktopography_2012_by_bosslogic-d5j53kx-640x400.jpg 640w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gaia___desktopography_2012_by_bosslogic-d5j53kx-100x63.jpg 100w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gaia___desktopography_2012_by_bosslogic-d5j53kx-150x94.jpg 150w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gaia___desktopography_2012_by_bosslogic-d5j53kx-200x125.jpg 200w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gaia___desktopography_2012_by_bosslogic-d5j53kx-450x281.jpg 450w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gaia___desktopography_2012_by_bosslogic-d5j53kx-600x375.jpg 600w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gaia___desktopography_2012_by_bosslogic-d5j53kx-900x563.jpg 900w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gaia___desktopography_2012_by_bosslogic-d5j53kx.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p>Lucifer’s chaos and rebelliousness broke into Agni and Vayu. Agni, though charismatic, was prone to bouts of anger and destruction. Whenever things didn’t go his way, he would lash out and destroy them. He couldn’t control his anger, for he was anger. Meanwhile, Vayu, though happy and loved by all the others, was ruled by envy. She wanted all the love and attention for herself and couldn’t bear it when the other gods were good to one another. She would manipulate and sow distrust among her siblings so that they all loved only her. And she couldn’t control it, for she was envy.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-166 alignleft" src="http://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Poseidon_Neptune_Greek_God_Art_10-300x225.jpg" alt="Poseidon Neptune Greek God Art 10" width="300" height="225" title="Shattered Gods Chronicles #1: a new vision of creation" srcset="https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Poseidon_Neptune_Greek_God_Art_10-300x225.jpg 300w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Poseidon_Neptune_Greek_God_Art_10-768x576.jpg 768w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Poseidon_Neptune_Greek_God_Art_10.jpg 800w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Poseidon_Neptune_Greek_God_Art_10-533x400.jpg 533w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Poseidon_Neptune_Greek_God_Art_10-100x75.jpg 100w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Poseidon_Neptune_Greek_God_Art_10-150x113.jpg 150w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Poseidon_Neptune_Greek_God_Art_10-200x150.jpg 200w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Poseidon_Neptune_Greek_God_Art_10-450x338.jpg 450w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Poseidon_Neptune_Greek_God_Art_10-600x450.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p>But despite all their differences, the four gods had one thing in common. They loved one another fiercely. Eventually, though they remained as separate entities, they paired up: Gaia with Vayu and Agni with Aqua, and they bore children. Their children were a mixture of their characters. They had a variety of powers themselves, but not as powerful as their parents’. As time went on, these children had children of their own, and more and more hybrid beings with a mixture of all four characters emerged. However, as the number of children grew, the powers of the four gods diminished, but they realized that their consciousness was expanding. Their original souls had shattered and spread through their children and grandchildren. As time progressed, the powers of the original gods were so diluted that they had become negligible. Eventually, Gaia, Aqua, Agni and Vayu all disappeared, yet their consciousness remained and kept on expanding. When the last remnants of the old gods dispersed in humans and other conscious beings, a void appeared in their stead. And it was called death.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-167 alignright" src="http://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/fire-300x171.jpg" alt="fire" width="300" height="171" title="Shattered Gods Chronicles #1: a new vision of creation" srcset="https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/fire-300x171.jpg 300w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/fire-100x57.jpg 100w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/fire-150x86.jpg 150w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/fire-200x114.jpg 200w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/fire.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p>Death started calling back all the fragments of the original gods back to itself. However, as these humans continued to procreate, all the collected fragments were reborn in different people. They did not reincarnate as a whole, but as a combination of fragments. In this order of chaos, sometimes more than one fragment from the same older soul reincarnated in the same new soul. When enough fragments of the same old soul reincarnated in the same new soul, this new soul could remember its past life and learn from it. In addition to that, fragments of old souls sometimes recognized their counterparts in other people. When this happened, they truly became soulmates, and the love borne between them changed the course of history on countless occasions.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-168 alignleft" src="http://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/vayu-dev--300x200.jpg" alt="vayu dev" width="300" height="200" title="Shattered Gods Chronicles #1: a new vision of creation" srcset="https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/vayu-dev--300x200.jpg 300w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/vayu-dev--768x511.jpg 768w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/vayu-dev-.jpg 1024w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/vayu-dev--800x532.jpg 800w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/vayu-dev--601x400.jpg 601w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/vayu-dev--100x67.jpg 100w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/vayu-dev--150x100.jpg 150w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/vayu-dev--200x133.jpg 200w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/vayu-dev--450x299.jpg 450w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/vayu-dev--600x399.jpg 600w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/vayu-dev--900x599.jpg 900w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p>Thus, the true history of creation is finally revealed. It is not a history of blood and war, but of love and brotherhood. For in all their endeavors, all souls, old and renewed, are looking for one thing and one thing only: love.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-169 alignright" src="http://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/black-hole_650x400_61462536640-300x185.jpg" alt="black hole 650x400 61462536640" width="300" height="185" title="Shattered Gods Chronicles #1: a new vision of creation" srcset="https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/black-hole_650x400_61462536640-300x185.jpg 300w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/black-hole_650x400_61462536640.jpg 650w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/black-hole_650x400_61462536640-100x62.jpg 100w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/black-hole_650x400_61462536640-150x92.jpg 150w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/black-hole_650x400_61462536640-200x123.jpg 200w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/black-hole_650x400_61462536640-450x277.jpg 450w, https://charbeltadros.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/black-hole_650x400_61462536640-600x369.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
