A Man From Nothing
I was just reminded of something I once read regarding Waluigi being the ultimate "nowhere man," essentially a reflection of a reflection of a reflection, derived to the point where who he is can only be seen in who he is not.
While the original poster seemed to see this as a dreary thing, one that applied to all of us, I was just considering this whilst overlaying it with a reality carefully constructed to appear free. In a reality where omnipotence and omniscience still exist but are carefully stitched that they occupy the margins for now, achieving true separation, rather than the appearance of separation, seems to be one of the most singular difficult and sought puzzles in reality, the "second roller," essentially one in Creation that God cannot control. This of course is a dangerous game to play as well, potentially (though I imagine the stage is set such that the choice becomes to stay or to go, rather than the chaotic destruction of all), but the game feels certainly dreary to play if this route, or one like it, is not taken.
So today I saw an image combined that included two separate images I have come across. The first is a notion my friend put into his RPG, an option I almost exclusively chose when playing the game, called "anti-psy." The mechanics were that the character was nearly immune to magic, the flavor text was that the character had no soul. I started to consider how one without a soul might operate in a clearly conscious and self directed way (not an NPC that the DM could directly control) and came up with all manner of shapes to such a structure, eventually landing on an exo-soul, which is essentially that the shape of one's environment coalesced or harmonized in a way, perhaps like a constant symphony maintained without conscious will from any player, in order for a soul to appear to exist where a soul had not been before this arrangement. This drew my philosophical nature to the forefront and I began to wonder who might actually have the perspective necessary, at that point, to say such a soul did not exist?
So in addition to this soul carefully crafted from essentially the sum of all awareness, I once saw the image of a highly complex (dimensionally speaking) ring. This ring, black and white most times, flashing brilliant colors at others, I believe made a point to invert itself outside of my field of vision, a function I more felt than ever saw any hint of. For this new combined image I saw that ring, likely the sum of all Creation, or some equivalently all-encompassing field, wrapping around that soul and carefully shaping to form a body. With this semblance of a soul crafted as a symphony, and a body made from the carefully enshrouded gaps between reality, essentially the product was the nowhere man- simple from the perspective of description (relatively anyway), but staggeringly complex from the perspective of actual creation. Still, the result would be that, as long as Creation persisted, this man would persist as well.
I could see this being replicated with concerted effort while this nowhere man still existed in Creation, though it feels like doing this again authentically in full might be the work of two walking together. The point here is that once this actually is accomplished, two could choose to walk together, an option unavailable in its entirety before (either due to choice being an illusion within a realm still possessing omnipotence/omniscience or because "walking together," in full anyway, was a choice prohibited by static prior to realms alignimg). I'm not sure I have said anything new in this post, but sometimes an image combined and clarified is reason enough to repeat oneself, in my opinion.
Amos 3:3
"Do two walk together
unless they have agreed to do so?"
