Introduction
First of all, I am not sure if profiles can be added because of the similarity of the verse to the divine comedy in general lines and this will be my first big work so I am very open to constructive criticism and I apologize in advance for the bad grammar, let's move on to scalingScaling
God and Nature
first of all I would like to talk about nature itself, which can be defined as the avatar of GodSpirit:
In Life's wave, in action's storm, I float, up and down,I blow, to and fro! Birth and the tomb,An eternal flow, A woven changing, A glow of Being.Over Time's quivering loom intent, Working the Godhead's living garment.
-Part I Scene I: Night #505-
here it is clearly stated that nature is a physical garment of God
How each to the Whole its selfhood gives, One in another works and lives! How Heavenly forces fall and rise, Golden vessels pass each other by! Blessings from their wings disperse: They penetrate from Heaven to Earth, Sounding a harmony through the Universe! Such a picture! Ah, alas! Merely a picture! How then can I grasp you endless Nature? Where are your breasts that pour out Life entire, To which the Earth and Heavens cling so, Where withered hearts would drink? You flow You nourish, yet I languish so, in vain desire.
-Part I Scene I: Night #450-
Mephistopheles:
I am the spirit, ever, that denies!And rightly so: since everything created, In turn deserves to be annihilated:Better if nothing came to be.So all that you call Sin, you see, Destruction, in short, what you've meant By Evil is my true element.
Faust:
You call yourself a part, yet seem complete to me?
Mephistopheles:
I'm speaking the truth to you, and modestly. Even if Man's accustomed to takeHis small world for the Whole, that's his mistake: I'm part of the part, that once was - everything, Part of the darkness, from which Light, issuing, Proud Light, emergent, disputed the highest place With its mother Night, the bounds of Space, And yet won nothing, however hard it tried, Still stuck to Bodily Things, and so denied.flows from bodies, which it beautifies, And bodies block its way: I hope the day's not far away When it, along with all these bodies, dies.
-Part I Scene III: The Study #1340-
at the same time, at the time, everything was in one piece and all apparent evil was an element of mephistopheles
The Mystic Choir:
All of the transient, Is parable, only: The insufficient, Here, grows to reality: The indescribable, Here, is done:Woman, eternal, Beckons us on
-Part II Act V Scene VII: Mountain Georges, Forest, Rock, Desert #12105-
This part is important because it says that heaven is the realm that humbles all the realms below it, and it also says that everything that is temporary and invalid in the physical realm is just a parable and is real here, so by the standards I think it would be 1-A.
Faust:
Sweetest being, don't misunderstand me! Who dares name the nameless? Or who dares to confess:I believe in him'? Yet who, in feeling, Self-revealing,Says: I don't believe'?The all-clasping,The all-upholding ,Does it not clasp, uphold,You: me, itself? Don't the heavens arch above us? Doesn't earth lie here under our feet? And don't the eternal stars, rising, Look down on us in friendship? Are not my eyes reflected in yours? And don't all things press On your head and heart,And weave, in eternal mystery,
Visibly: invisibly, around you? Fill your heart from it: it is so vast,And when you are blessed by the deepest feeling, Call it then what you wish,Joy! Heart! Love! God!I have no nameFor it! Feeling is all: Names are sound and smoke,Veiling Heaven's bright glow.
-Part I Scene XVI: Martha's Garden #3435-
And this is the most important point where we are introduced to the true nature of God as the source of all things, completely incomprehensible, and we learn that all the names and concepts that are put on him and imposed on him are just empty voices and smoke, a state of unity that is completely unchanging and unalterable.
Conclusion
As a result, my suggestion is to implement it as tier 1-A and 0. As I said, this is my first large-scale work, please forgive me if there is something I am doing wrong and do not understand.
