A reading from "The Way of the New Light" Book Three, Chapter Six, Verse 1 Seed of our destruction Sown at history's dawn, Demented work Of unearthly science, Deadly alien spawn, Awaiting destiny's call, (1) In the rocky soil, Of forgotten Eden, Comes to malignant life, By alien command, Across the vastness, Of interstellar space, As the sound, Of ancient thunder, Beats rhythm to the dance, Of Darkness and Light, Shaping the void, Pierced by time's arrow. Dark hand of alien corruption, Author of genetic lies Woven into the fabric of humanity, Intricate modifications, To the delicate serpentine coil of life, Intended to guide our evolution, Toward perfection in time, Casts its shadow, Across each promise, Of a bright new tomorrow, Until the very soul of Earth, Tormented by savage wars, Of brutal intensity, Cries out for deliverance. (2) Universal laws of time and space, Are held in suspension, By the "Word of the Most High", As answer to Gaia's prayer, At the dawn of a new age. The chosen few, Called to decide The matter of light, And the darkness of the matter, Become wise as serpents in their youth, The foundation of all hope, For the new age of peace and prosperity, Promised to the faithful, Who brandish the sword of truth, Honoring "The Way of the New Light". (3) This is the origin, Of "The Sons and Daughters of the New Light", Who fought the good fight, And still do to this day, Hastening the "Day of Tranquility", Promised to the heirs of the Light, From before the foundation of the world. This is the Word of the Most High, Given to us by revelation as written in the, "Sacred Scroll of the Great Promise". "We shall perfect our nature according to the "Way of the New Light" and dwell in the house of the Most High, forever". Amen --Thus spoken by the High Priest of New Earth through the divine revelation of the Most High, forever affirmed to be nothing less than the Holy Word of Light given to us as truth for the perfect instruction and edification of the human mind and soul. Notes: (1) Incredibly, it lay dormant for many long ages to come. Not until the time when unchecked thermo nuclear war and the unrestricted use of extremely powerful biological and chemical agents was an everyday affair did it come alive. (2) The final evidence that the evil dormant in humanity had reached the pinnacle of depravity came in the form of a man of terrible fierceness whose criminal acts of violence have found no equal in the writings of over 200 hundred interstellar civilizations. He stalked the modern landscape like the slow moving monster he was. Relentless. The pain and suffering of his fellow man was his constant companion and ever present delight. Single minded in his resolve to master all the techniques of evil and destruction at his disposal, he was the consummate image of utter horror to those of us who could see him as he was. the worst our day and age could produce. To the vast majority of people, not yet outfitted with the state of the art anti-thought manipulation inhibitors, currently under development by scientists at PhysiTec located in the recently developed city of New Chicago, "The Father of Death", as he came to be known appeared a normal man living an ordinary life behind pale blue dot eyes. To us in the United Confluence of Nations, with headquarters located in all the major cities of member nations in the Unified earth Coalition he was an alien-human hybrid whose malignant brain worked on sinister plans with a grim determination and purpose all his own. Centuries after the destruction of his evil empire, the stories describing his atrocities and the tale of his ultimate demise are favorites told to our children in stories as well as in song on special days of remembrance set aside to honor the "The Sons and Daughters of the New Light", those special men of fearless nature who were brave enough to look consummate evil in the eye and not blink. (3) It is because of the great courage, honor, and morality demonstrated by this generation that we have been blessed. The Most High who makes his home in eternity and who is the sole author of our salvation. Our present and future hope has instructed us to live a life in the spirit as he makes his dwelling in us and because he is in us our radiance as a people shall be seen by all the creatures of the Darkness and Light that scurry amongst the stars.
