Chapter Ninety Two: Generous and Virtuous

They say that the true antidote to any form of evil circumstances is one of a virtuous disposition, i.e., the willingness to generously offer oneself to a desire of complete participation in the holiness of creation. It is a recognition of the qualities of stewardship, the dedication of the soul not only to a commitment to a noble purpose, but also in viewing the human experience as part of a long, ardous, but joyful journey. The living is to be done now, and anything else outside the reality dictated by the sensory experience is purely imagination's realm.

The philospher in Ancient Rome, Lucius Annaeus Seneca, more commonly known simply as Seneca, once said that humanity suffers more in imagination than in reality, and this particular fictional writing can vouch that there is so much truth in this statement of classical wisdom. The thought is meant to be appreciated not just as a mere declaration of the obvious, but a prophetic temperament that will be proven to be correct in the entirety of human history.

Lucifer the Devil, as much as he is a theologian as well as a complete deceiver, knows exactly how to act both as a humanist and a logician that will make sense in a world where secularized thinking enjoys popularity among the masses. What it takes for someone to suffer is a simple imagination of misery, like thinking why evil exists under the guidance of a divine being if there is a God, indeed.

There is a definite convenience in imagining suffering as a mere consequence of existence, which is mainly justified by the stratification of the social classes, groups or order, by a simple analysis of the misery of the failures of men, as well as the painful reality of dreadful experiences from the everyday affairs of life.

Life is unfair, untruthful, deceitful, and unkind, and it will take a strong imagination to visualize a world of profound order, strength, and determination. And it is much harder to imagine the good than to rationalize the evil things, which is more proximate to the human condition than those ideas that can only be entertained by a faculty of creativity and the desire to understand one's self through a thorough purpose of obedience manifested in the artistic expression of life's inherent design.

Humans are intrinsically Magicians, but many of them lose this predisposed nature along the way. The imagination loses its spark for lack of use, and it is replaced by more visions of the biases of reasoning and a deeply flawed mindset. The illusions are replaced by a desire to do the most sinister things, and one may find himself in the pit of hell, surrounded by complete sensory of what was imagined as compulsory misery.

But some human beings (especially those children who refused to grow old) can still hear the inherent decibel of the calling of the Magicians within their soul, even up to this day, in the form of a voice coming deep within the understanding of the superego, only to be adequately heard coming down from the overflowing goodness of the heart.

And this sound, the decibel itself, this calling, is further amplified by the immense power of generosity. Those with generous nature will find themselves within the comfort of the divine, whose peace is metaphysically present in the capacity of the mind to imagine, to visualize, and to look for all types of the magical operation of goodness, understand paradoxes, and interpret things of utmost importance in a sea of falsehoods and deception (i.e., the illusion as it is interpreted by the mind).

But the power to identify the illusions of evil is more important than the capacity to feel the rest. It is only through the presence of weakness and frailty that evil becomes obvious, and the manifested qualities of the occult of darkness can only be seen in a background of interpretative dualities. This is how Santa Claus envisioned The North Pole, to safeguard the imagination of children, and their innocence ultimately preserved from harm.
