[ORI2016] The Fall

What we now know about everything was once nothing at all...
In fact before any of us existed in this realm we now deem the universe,we began in an entirely different dimension.
This was where we were created and thus where we belong. In this place we were created from a mere thought which was pure and the intelligence and purpose for us was perfect...
So perfect it was that we too were perfect in a great many ways.

I'm sure by now many of you are saying to yourself, I know this story already... What's sad to me is many of you whom do know this story, have forgotten it is your story and are filled by doubt...
While we existed in our former kingdom which was vast and magnificent and which had 7 layers we had our own layer this was called the garden.
In the garden we had all that we needed...
We had food to enjoy for the simple pleasure of exquisite flavors,we had dominion over every other living thing in the garden all the plants and all animals were ours to enjoy as companions. Also there were beings of pure light. Although they were far more intelligent and powerful then us,when they were amoungst us in the garden they too served us. They were under orders from the creator to teach us, to help bring us to higher levels of understanding and abilities.
We were different you see because we were made to progress and to do so freely. The creator was most fond of us for this reason, as we were innocent and more pure than even the beings of light that had a full understanding of all that was expected from the creator. They all called him the Father for he too created them each and every one.
Now not all these beings of light were the same. Some had more abilities and were more powerful than others.This was evident by the beauty of thier presence which was beheld visually,but also felt through the vibration of thier being.
The most powerful of them was named lucifer he was well favored by the Father and was glorified and given more freedom and power, infact he was in command over all of the rest of them.
I have mentioned how these whom were more than us were under orders to serve us. For all but Lucifer this was most pleasing for they were serving the Father and doing his will. And they did enjoy us also for like I said we were pure and this too delighted them and they found us very beautiful to behold and for we had something they did not our physical presence was special to them.
As Lucifer grew more and more powerful something was changed in him he had progressed to such great intelligence he started to have ideas all his own. He started to feel differently he was jealous of us the way we looked really made him angry because as beautiful as he was he did not look like us,and although he had power over all else beneath the Father he had to now lower himself to serving us and was also moved to anger at how the Father was so much prouder for creating us.
The Father was on the highest level of this realm of course and was but a voice to us, when he spoke it elevated us as his love flowed through his words were felt as his presence. We were not ready to be moved up and be with him just yet and so had never seen him physically. His Word was his presence to us in other words yet it filled each one of us.And his word was law.
We were allowed to do much of what we wanted and free to partake in most things but some things we were not allowed for we were not ready yet and to do so may cause us great harm.
As Lucifer became evermore jealous of us and especially our form.He used his own gifts from the Father to make himself into something different to behold he wanted to look different more like us but he decided on trying to appear greater then all. He took on a magnificent form large and powerful he referred to his new self as the Dragon. He was most proud of himself indeed and how we did marvel at his appearance.
It was not long before even his new look was not enough for lucifer he after all did not look like us. And even his new format which was impressive indeed did not change the fact that he had to do as we wished.
As I said earlier somethings were not permitted there were 2 different kinds of us but we didn't know why. This was not yet for us to know but a fondness for our differences was apparent. And we began to choose one another as our closest friends and did all allowed together, and this was most pleasing. Also in our innocence we knew only what not to do but did not know why.
In the garden was also a tree it had the most appealing fruit it was called the tree of knowledge of good and evil.From this tree we were not allowed to eat for we were not ready.When the time was right we would and we would learn from it but be capable of dealing with the consequences.It was all a part of the plan for us you see.
Now Lucifer of course knew this full well as he was most wise indeed.but he had enough of us,and the way we looked and serving us. He knew full well right from wrong,but he wanted us to serve him like we served the Father. So he first lied to himself and in doing so convinced himself that if he could make even one of us do as he said for a change that that would cause him to climb even higher and be just as powerful as the Father.
He used his new ability of lying to himself on a lady named Eve her friend Adam was away from her having some fun with some of his favorite animals.Anyway Lucifer saw this and that she was so close to the tree of knowledge of good and evil. He saw how she wondered at its mystery. It was then he approached her and used this new power of lying which was his own creation to cause her to to serve his will and she did believe his lie and she did eat.Adam was not gone to long for he longed to be with Eve whenever he did stray from her side.It was then that she told Adam with shame what she had done she was feeling something strange and new called guilt.Adam saw this and didn't want her to go through it alone for he loved her so,so he too ate from the tree to understand her plight and so as to comfort her.
It was not long before things started to change all around us and the Father's voice was heard something was wrong the Father did not know where they were this had never been a problem for him before. The Father did something else that had not happened before he came into the garden and we all saw him and he looked just like us!
He found Adam and Eve and knew what had happened Lucifer was boasting and proclaiming he was most high even we now served him.All the beings of light gathered in the garden and lucifer was spreading his lie and the lie was great and the entire kingdom was shaking. Many beings of light were so impressed by the lie they believed it and praised Lucifer.
The Father had to act quickly he disappeared into the void to protect himself from the evil this was not his creation and it was harming all he had made.
He then shouted into the void the darkness of nothing was lit up as he hung the stars and called them each by name,he was unwilling to lose what he loved but they could not be with him for now,not until he could give all a chance to change. This would not come easy so here he created time along with all else for he is most wise.
While he was away the kingdom was in chaos a fight had broken out amoungst the beings of light whom didn't believe Lucifer and his lie and those who now served him.

The Father returned in tears all that had been affected by the lie started to rot and decay they had been cursed to death.And that included all of us as well for we were no longer pure having been exposed to the lie. With a heavy heart the Father cried out with a shout and we were banished at first into the void.
As we dwell in wait his voice spoke to us once more and he explained his sorrow as we drifted in darkness.He showed us his new creation and he explained what must now pass. We would have to be put to the test. Only in this way could we once again be allowed to return home. It was then you chose Earth,you chose the time and you chose which one of your old friends would bring you into the world as your family.Adam and Eve would have to start it all off for they were the first pair responsible.But don't be too hard on them for all would have been lost and no second chance given. Except Adam sinned out of love for Eve. There was still hope after all for the Father is love!
