Chapter Fifty Four: The Signs of the Occult

First, let no one rule your mind or body.

Take special care that your thoughts

remain unfettered... . Give men your ear,

but not your heart. Show respect for those

in power, but don't follow them blindly.

Judge with logic and reason, but comment not.

Consider none your superior

whatever their rank or station in life.

Treat all fairly, or they will seek revenge.

Be careful with your money.

Hold fast to your beliefs, and others will listen.

Christopher Paolini, Eragon

Referring directly to the real Dynamics of the Vampires and Werewolves, and a little Outer Space, to wit:

The Chancellor of the Constitution (a government official in another book about the Ministry of Space and how the Galactic Siege came to be) was staring blindly towards the mirror that captures perfectly his handsome features. He is still the Prince Charming, the same person who fell in love with Princess Cinderella on first sight; he was still the same man who would see through Cinderella's delicate demeanor, which was enough for him to judge the purity and goodness of her loving heart. He is still the gallant prince of the chivalric order, and nothing will ever change that infinite truth.

But the recent visit of Lucifer the Devil was a cause of concern for him because that means he is going to do the will of his evil plan again. He knew that Satan was trying to expedite the plans that he have made with his Legion, to arrive at the desired location as soon as possible. It is not in the nature of a Demon to be patient, as much as an evil thought quickly corrupts the conscience of a weak and frail human mind.

This time, the Devil's visit was about the consistent efforts in the important task of the Relics' discovery (those preserved remains of Adam and Eve); what that means is that Lucifer wanted to corrupt how reality is experienced by humankind by deliberately altering the mind's notion of right and wrong that ascribe values to the different forms of moral acts. He wanted the truth to be dressed as a fault, as much as he wanted to alter the substance of the falsehood into a thing to be desired and needed.

He quite knew of the fact about the coldness in The Village, The North Pole, and has seen attributions to a Tale about the Magic of Christmas. These were the kind of stories that are most prized in the world of Fantasy (a setting where Vampires and Werewolves came from, obviously), notwithstanding the experience attributed to its meaning and existence. It was the solemn belief that all stories are true, and the magic simply lies in our ability to believe them in order for it to become fully real and alive, ready to be experienced.

Along these lines of belief are the concept of the potential love that rests in every object of creation, and in some places it was firmly believed to be the most solemn prophecy written in the Book of Genesis. None of these things have come only to be put into the test, and such ardent quest be fulfilled without courageously facing the reality of the peril of death.

As much as the potential love remained kept and stagnant within the agents throughout the years, the evil corruption that stained creation from the very beginning was starting to do its work; that while love was the most powerful force in the world that resides in all things created, once this love was gradually destroyed by the habit of corrupted ways, the power from this love becomes one of the ingredients of the seamless propagation of the occult.

But this process is not as easy as the description above, for no one realizes yet how the Devil quickly moves to gain power to deceive creation by dimming the light that must remain lighted throughout the universe, and to expire the salt that preserves all the goodness and values, ultimately to be summarized in the three theological virtues of love, of faith, and of hope.

The signs of the occult are already appearing within the midst of those who must face the wrath of the Devil and his Legions of Demons. One must prepare himself in the battle of holiness and darkness, but these preparations may be sabotaged with the start of the corrupting power, the creatures and rhe highways, and the mysterious massacre of a family in the middle of the celebration for Christmas.
