1. Many ask how a God who created this world full of horrors could be anything other than evil.
2. It seems that we are born just to suffer, grow old, get sick and die. One comes to consciousness just to observe one’s body disintegrate in agony.
3. Such thoughts lead to colossal suffering for an enormous number of people.
4. The Elementalist does not suffer from such thoughts. Understanding the Tenets, the Elementalist is free from spiritual suffering.
5. The First, Second and Third Tenets remind us that consciousness is the prima materia, and the material world – in which all suffering occurs – just an illusion.
6. The Fourth Tenet reminds us that the natural state of consciousness is one of perfect bliss – and thus, perfect boredom.
7. As such, all suffering has been dreamed up by the divine for the sole purpose of entertaining itself.
8. The Elementalist understands that the Great Fractal is akin to an unsleeping slaughterhouse, in which living creatures, in competition for scarce resources, battle each other to the death before they starve.
9. That life on Earth is a neverending slaughterfest is not, by itself, cause to succumb to horror.
10. The Elementalist says “Let it be worse! Let me be torn to pieces by wolves! If my suffering should entertain the gods, it is my will!”
11. Suffering is inherent to life so that one can entertain the gods by overcoming it.
12. The greater the intensity of the suffering, the greater the opportunity to entertain the gods.
13. The gods are most entertained by that which overcomes the most extreme suffering.
14. Although the greatest good is to entertain the gods, there are several other positives to the inherent horror of life.
15. The foremost of these: the great suffering caused by the horror of this world affords us great potential to alter our frequencies of consciousness.
16. That immense suffering is inherent to life gives us unlimited opportunity to say No to suffering.
17. Every instance of suffering is an opportunity to increase the frequency of one’s consciousness.
18. This world may be one of the Hell Realms, as suggested by the fact that we are bound to die. This makes all of us a kind of spiritual pentitent.
19. The intensity of the suffering in this Hell Realm affords a greater opportunity to alter the frequencies of our consciousness than if we had incarnated into a more pleasant part of the Great Fractal.
20. Like elemental fire, the inherent horror of this world offers great potential to control one’s destiny.
