rediscovered this illustration I did long ago for a zine, depicting The Soul Canto from the Qun:
A traveler asked the Ashkaari: "What was your vision of our purpose?"
The Great Ashkaari replied: "I will tell you a story."
A vast granite statue stands on an island, holding back the sea.
The heavens crown its brow. It sees to the edge of the world.
The sea drowns its feet with every tide.
The heavens turn overhead, light and dark. The tide rises to devour the earth, and falls back.
The sun and the stars fall to the sea one by one in their turn, only to rise again.
The tide rises, the tide falls, but the sea is changeless.
Struggle is an illusion. There is nothing to struggle against.

some thoughts on hell and lucifer
an interesting little tidbit to think about is that in dante's inferno, it's stated that Hell existed since before humanity, that the concept of Sin is not something which started with humans. the most common explanation for this is that god made hell for the rebellious angels, and was later on used for sinners as well
in ultrakill though, hell was made with humans in mind. and the reason i say that is testament IV in 5-S:
"FATHER, WHY ETERNAL TORMENT? IS IT NOT CRUEL?
IS TORTURE UNENDING TRULY A FATE FIT FOR A FOOL?"
AN ANGEL SO BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL ASKED ME THIS . . .
AND I COULD FIND NO ANSWER
FOR I COULD NEVER FACE THE GUILT OF WHAT I'D DONE . . .
MY REGRET, A GNAWING CANCER
IN MY HOUR OF WEAKNESS, TERROR POSSESSED ME THEN
AND I CAST LUCIFER, TOO, INTO THE INFERNAL DEN
ONCE I REALIZED WHAT I HAD JUST DONE . . .
I COULD ONLY WEEP
AS I SANK SLOWLY INTO THE DEPTHS OF DESPAIR . . .
DEEP, OH SO DEEP
lucifer in ultrakill did not 'rebel' against god until after hell was made, meaning that hell's original purpose in ultrakill is to condemn sinners. and the reason for lucifer's fall was not some desire within him for god's power. rather it was his pursuit for justice for the damned souls that sealed his fate.

Know Thyself...Self Realization...Otherworldly...
The Lord, as Supersoul, pervades all things, just as fire permeates wood, and so appears to be of many varieties, though the absolute one without a second. The Supersoul enters into the bodies of the created beings who are influenced by the modes of material nature and cause them to enjoy the effects of these modes by the subtle mind. Thus the Lord of the universes maintains all planets inhabited…

E mi abbracciò tutto tremante.
Wendsday, November 18th 16:04
"How do you feel? I can't come to my senses. I can’t even breathe"
h 19:07
"I promised myself not to read your messages and not to write to you"
"Why?!"
"But, as you can see, I failed miserably. As in everything I try not to do and not to tell you"
"I think I was in shock for at least two hours. I feel paralayzed, my soul vibrates and trembles, all the world outside is stopped. I’ve never felt that feeling before. I didn't just regress to the level of a kid, it’s something deeper and more devastating. I feel like I'm under a enchantment that has emptied me of everything"
"It wasn’t just a moment of madness"
"Oh, it's crazy. But it's not madness"
"Oh my God, there are no words to really express how I feel"
"I understand you. I understand you deeply. I am annihilated"
"I’m sure we weren’t two people who just hugged. Because we felt much, much more and it wasn't physical"
"Absolutely"
"Oh, I wish I could see you…"
"To enjoy the effect of your enchantment, oh my beloved Fairy of the night?"
