Chapter 1688: Bonds, Connection
Each and every one figures in his life that is connected to him seem to flash by in his mind. Some of them he remembers very vividly. Some are people who he just met briefly
And then he could see it
he could sense this invisible power that is intertwining himself with all of these people that he had met. Some are dead and some are still alive.
Some have bene cut and some have been untangled. Some are still tangled and tied tightly
It did not exist just now. It has always existed. The only difference is that, before he could not see it clearly.
Now, he could see it clearly.
And that makes a whole world of difference.
What is it that he sees and senses?
Not memories.
Not feeling.
But cause and effect.
“Cause and effect” he mutters.
Tap!
Tap!
Tap!
There is the rain that is still falling. And Azief eyes look at the droplet of rain that is falling on him. If he wanted to, this drizzle of rain would not fall on his body
It would be repelled and his body would be free from the wetness.
But he did not do that. Instead, he lets the rain pelt his body.
Each droplet of rain seems so insignificant to anyone in the world but as Azief look at these falling droplet of rain he could not help but understand something.
Each of these droplets also have cause and effect but because they are not living beings these cause and effect is a result of Karma.
Someone does something and something is affected.
A rain here and there, bring waters, bring life, causes floods, causes lakes, causes rivers, causes things to happen.
Life blooms, plants take it, the land dissolves, water is one of the causes.
This is chaos, this is life. And with existence, come chaos. Without existence, without life, everything in in order.
It is not only the understanding of the cause and effect but also the understanding of order and chaos.
Precisely because he now have the two avatars, one of harmony and one of chaos inside him, this is probably the reason why suddenly this insight about order and chaos come to him
“I am living among mortal, I am mortal, so how could I escape cause and effect?” he thought to himself.
At first he just sigh. This is simply his thought. But then as the time seems to not move, Azief thinks again
Now, this is no longer a thought
But a question
The question is simple.
How could he escape cause and effect?
The answer is just a whisper at first until it turns into an obsession. In just a few second, Azief who simply accepted that this is the state of cause and effect suddenly become obsessed about getting the answer to this question
“This thing has never bene invisible to me” Azief thought to himself. He had senses it before He had seen it during his “talk” with the Creator.
He saw how things are connected. How certain things have certain effects. How certain deeds affect destiny and fate
There is probability. There is coincidence. But when coincidences are accumulated, it turns into destiny and fate.
This could not be quantifiable. It could not be measured. And it moves according to some invisible whims.
Scientist would find it hard to believe. Because they could not see everything. Their thoughts and even their capabilities is confined into earthly existence.
Soul…is something even harder for them to believe.
Azief thought of the Order of Thinkers. He did not speak with a lot of them but he did speak to his Keeper of the Palace.
And that Keeper of his has many friends. Many of them are also members of the Order of Thinkers.
And there is something that his Keeper had noticed. These people in the Order of Thinkers, before the Fall, are mainly scientist, educated people who do research in universities or in some research lab of governments.
They know the secrets of the world through observation and conjecture. All based on the laws of the world that they thought would never change. That everything has something constant
about it.
There is rule and law to it. And no matter how improbably certain things are, it could be explain by some rule of phenomenon.
There is no Gods in the sky hurling lightning bolts and there is no demon below the earth that shakes the pillars of the world.
There is no darkness entity that could swallow worlds and there is no being that could wipe
out stars.
Energy has rules and laws. And even after the Fall, some of the application of the energy could
be make sense of
But then, there is magic.
And that turns it all around.
Hence, magic is something they find hard to wrap their heads around.
Some system of magic has some logic in it. Transmuting certain elements to another and amplify its properties and its power still has some basic operations of logic and could be
rationalized.
But when they touches upon magic that is intangible, dark magic, a world where words have powers, intention has value, and emotions fuels the magic, it is something that these scientists have a hard time understanding.
How do you measure the strength of one emotion if one’s emotion determine the strength and potency of magic?
How do you measure the strength of one soul? How do you measure determination? Spirit?
Will?
This is like cause and effect. It is like Karma. Sometimes you don’t even notices it and cause and effect is on you.
It was never invisible to him since he reaches Disk Formation and even more so when he enters Divine Comprehension level.
However, it is faint. It is subtle. It is blurry. And it is hard to see
But it is only now, after reaching Essence Creation, he felt it so strongly. And he sees it clearly.
Of course, there is also the pressure of the Heavens that is bearing down on him that causes him not be able to see it clearly in the past.
Even more so, now.
And even though he is acknowledged, the Heavenly Will still think that he is some kind of a menace and with the few powers left that it could spare, the Heavenly Will exercise its control and tries to pressure him
He always sense sit and he always knows that it is there. But now, feeling it so intensely, he could not help but think of many things and understand many things
And when he understand certain things, he could also understand his own Grand Path. His
path converges with cause and effect
And his path…..what path is it?
Freedom.
Then freedom from cause and effect is what?
Should….he thought of something and he frowned.
“What….where should I go?” he seems to be asking himself the question.
He had entered a state of enlightenment. He had seen death. Strares at it. And he even died
once. Though that death was brief, he did die.
A spear in his chest. Two times actually. One is at that Evolver world where he got the All- Source fragments and apply it to his Laws
The other one is when he got speared and saved by Katarina. At that time, he relay thought he
would die.
And he also see many people dies.
Some of which he remembers. And when he remember these people, his heart moved
Some dies for their ideals.
Some dies because of their own action.
Some dies because of the so called “coincidence”
Some dies for him.
Some dies because of him.
Some dies because of themselves.
Seeing death and seeing cause and effect.
And seeing people die, all of these people dying for their own belief, whether that belief is
bad or not, there is a will in it.
A kind of determination that transcend life and death. Those who die for this will, bruns
brightly.
Because they put gains and losses behind, they put winning and losing behind and all that they ask, is to walk their path, win or lose, live or death
These good and bad death, affected his mortal state of mind.
You can’t put down things you didn’t lift. Since you lift it, you can put it down, throw it away
or smash it.
But without the act of lifting it, none of the other actions could be completed
Since there is no cause, there is no effect.
But certain being is without causation.
Azief also understood this.
But he is not trying to understand these beings without causation
What he is trying to understand is the cause and effect that he had already forged.
Azief feel all of these feeling because he experienced all of this.
And experiencing all of this creates bond.
And bond is cause and effect.
Those who lives in seclusion does not feel that he is in the world of cause and effect.
But one day, if this person who secluded himself goes out and meet people, and when they
were about to die, all of his experience in the world would flash through his mind.
This is cause and effect. This is bonds. This is connection.
