WOD: Minor abilities for yahweh

[Udlmaster]

One will need the sources for these.

 

[Apex_Predator_GX]

I agree with the proposals

 

[Antvasima]

What currently needs to be done here?

 

[Udlmaster]

Just need the sources for it, since it's just text right now with no sources.

 

[Antvasima]

I do not remember what this discussion thread is about and what needs to be done here anymore. Can you remind me please?

@Udlmaster

It's about some abilities for Jehovah and his keys.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay, and what are the conclusions here so far with more elaboration?

Just need the sources for it, since it's just text right now with no sources.

MAGE THE ASCENSION, 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION – PAGES 44

"And beyond them all, there’s said to be Infinity, the One-That-Is-All. The Ein Soph. Unity. The Absolute. Sometimes even called the Void, this cosmic “dark matter” supposedly exists because theory insists that it should. To Nephandi and some other mages, this Void is the true nature of reality, an endless nothing onto which we impose the other forms before they dissipate into metaphysical dust. Not the most cheerful concept, but a potent one anyway."

"I AM, said the Voice, THAT I AM.

It spoke not in English, nor Latin nor Hebrew nor Greek. Its logos was supreme – all words, songs and languages that would ever come to be. The Word rang from the Void and raced out from the Heavens, filling the Nothing with All.

It spoke in the void of possibility: the all-that-is-nothing yet will become all things in time. Its timbre set the void vibrating, and many songs began to spin themselves to life in that dying silence."

"Infinities passed. Stars blazed. Balls of spinning stone cooled to become worlds. It’s been said that in those earliest days, holy hands passed over waters and set things into place. God-wars raged and their carnage shaped the universe. Deities cast their servants down into an Abyss, and that Divinity tore itself in half – Light and Darkness, the broken shells of what was and the bright spheres of what is. Perhaps it was simply a mythologized play of natural forces… or maybe there was something more. The truth, as it so often is, was lost to time and space."

TRUTH BEYOND PARADOX – PAGE 140

Spoiler

"All of reality is a massive 419 scam. Our beliefs assure us our lives and bodies are fixed to a solid reality with immutable laws. It’s no different than the belief that a prince needs forty grand to bribe the Nigerian Banking Bureau.

People need bodies. I get the sense that gods do not.

People, even mages, depend on their heads not being carpet-bombed all over the beach. They live their lives stuck within the bounds of their DNA and organs.

Gods… do not.

I’ve had my epiphany, my real epiphany. To what end do we all exist? What pur-pose do all sparks of consciousness serve?

We live out our puny lives serving reality. Until we realize that reality serves us.

Time to scam the scammers. With no mouth, I speak aloud: “I hereby bypass consensus to become a god.”

Yeah, those are fine, though they should be sourced on the profile as to not leave them directionless.

Likewise, linking to this thread shouldn't be done either, we're not a primary or secondary source.

Thank you. What has been accepted here can probably be applied then.

Likewise, linking to this thread shouldn't be done either, we're not a primary or secondary source.

Agreed. Explanations should be provided via references or a linked VSBW blog post.
