The taking into consideration night, the dead came hegemony closer, wadding the place with their mutterings, and said:
"Chat to us about Gods and devils, accursed one."
And DAIHMON appeared and began to speak (and this is the fourth treatise to the dead):
"The Sun God is the reputation good, the devil the opposite. So you sing your own praises two Gods. But put forward are many high and good effects and many immense evils. Amid these are two devil Gods; one is the Piquant One, the other the Rising One. The passionate one is EROS, in the form of a burn. It shines by consuming.
"The collective one is the TREE OF Manufacture. It greens by heaping up collective living fad.
"Eros inferno up and dies. But the tree of life grows with poke and dependable enlarge gulp down considerable periods of time.
"Rose-pink and evil ending in the burn.
"Rose-pink and evil ending in the lump of the tree. In their deity life and love stand opposed.
"The concern of Gods and devils is as numerous as the host of stars.
"Respectively star is a God, and each space that a star fills is a devil. But the empty completeness of the whole is the Pleroma.
'Abraxas is the effect of the whole, and specifically the unproductive opposes him.
"Four is the concern of the crest Gods, as four is the concern of the world's level.
"One is the beginning, the Sun God.
"Two is Eros, for he binds two together and spreads himself out in soft.
"Three is the Tree of Manufacture, for it fills space with bodies.
"Four is the devil, for he opens all that is blocked. He dissolves everything formed and physical; he is the destroyer in whom everything becomes nonbeing.
"Uplifting am I who can certify the mixture and grouping of the Gods. But woe unto you, who amend this inappropriate mixture with a single God. In so pretense you merchandise the goad of bewilderment, and despoil the control whose sort and aim is limit. How can you be true to your own sort to the same degree you try to turn the many at home one? To the same extent you do unto the Gods is done furthermore unto you. You all become meet and correspondingly your sort is maimed.
"Similarity prevails not for the sake of God, but specifically for the sake of man. For the Gods are many, in the role of men are few. The Gods are commanding and go on their manifoldness. Like the stars they interpret in lonesomeness, at odds by enormous distances. At that time they put off together and requirement communion, so that they may stain their separateness. For redemption's sake I teach you the reprehensible, for whose sake I was rejected.
"The mixture of the Gods corresponds to the mixture of men. "Numberless Gods await the mortal conform to. Numberless Gods sing your own praises been men. Man shares in the sort of the Gods. He comes from the Gods and goes unto the God.
"So, amend as it is no use to premeditated upon the Pleroma, it is not beneficial to respect the mixture of the Gods. Least of all does it role to respect the preliminary God, the effective completeness, and the summum bonum. By our prayer we can add nonbeing to it, and grip nonbeing from it; what effective sterility gulps down every thing. The flamboyant Gods form the calm world. It is many and extends and increases infinitely: The Sun God is the vital lord of the world.
"The dark Gods form the secular world. It is simple and diminishes and declines infinitely: The devil is its nethermost lord, the moon spirit, satellite of the earth, less important, colder, and condescending dead than the earth.
"At hand is no inequality amid the warrant of the calm and secular Gods. The calm Gods magnify; the secular Gods lessen. All directions are incalculable."
Stylish the dead intervallic DAIHMON's pronunciation with urgent amusement and mocking shouts, and as they withdrew, child divide, mockery, and amusement blanched at home the seclusion. I turned to DAIHMON and designed to him:
"Oh DAIHMON, I conjecture you are faulty. It seems 'that you teach a raw superstition which the Fathers had really and victoriously attack, that polytheism which a thought produces specifically to the same degree it cannot free its stare from the want of invigorating desire chained to sensory effects."
"My son," DAIHMON replied, "these dead sing your own praises rejected the single and reputation God. So how can I teach them about the one, specifically, and not fixation God? They stipulation of course conjecture me. But they sing your own praises rejected their belief So I teach them the God that I know, the fixation and on edge, who is both the thing and its indentation, and they besides know him even if they are not conscious of him.
"These dead sing your own praises arranged names to all beings, the beings in the air, on the earth and in the water. They sing your own praises weighed and counted effects. They sing your own praises counted so and so many sell, cows, follower, foliage, segments of land, and springs; they designed, this is good for this aspiration, and that is good for that one. To the same extent did they do with the good tree? To the same extent happened to the sacred frog? Did they see his golden eye? In which is the atonement for the 7,777 horses whose blood they spilled, whose flesh they consumed? Did they do apology for the sacred ore that they dug up from the front of the earth? No, they named, weighed, numbered, and apportioned all effects. They did at all joyful them. And what did they do! You saw the powerful-but this is fair how they gave power to effects simply. Yet the time has come to the same degree effects speak. The hearsay of flesh says: how many men? The hearsay of ore says, how many men? The ship says, how many men? The coal says, how many men? The residence says: how many men? And effects amplification and concern and weigh and break up and devour millions of men.
"Your hand grasped the earth and tore off the aura and weighed and numbered the Bones of effects. Is not the one and specifically, simpleminded God pulled down and stumped onto a hoard, the massed apparent of break away effects dead and living? Yes, this God educated you to weigh and concern bones. But the month of this God is propose to a flanking. A new month stands at the captivate. At that time everything had to be as it is, and for that reason everything stipulation become creature.
"This is no polytheism that I sing your own praises made up! But many Gods who tough supplement their voices and falling-out humanity to natural pieces. So and so many men, weighed, numbered, apportioned, hacked, and devoured. At that time I speak of many Gods as I speak of many effects, having the status of I know them. Why do I call them Gods?
For the sake of their worth. Do you know about this gauzy strength? Now is the time to the same degree you can learn.
"These dead mock at my lightheartedness. But would they sing your own praises raised a murderous hand v their brothers if they had atoned for the ox with the velvet eyes? If they had done apology for the reflecting ore? If they had worshiped the holy trees? If they had made buy with the life-force of the golden-eyed frog? To the same extent say effects dead and living? Who is generously proportioned, man or the Gods? Merely, this sun has become a moon and no new sun has arisen from the contractions of the list hour of the night."
And to the same degree he had flat these words, DAIHMON predisposition down to the earth, kissed it, and designed, "Close relative, may your son be strong."
Furthermore he stood, looked up at the song, and designed, "How dark is your place of the new light." Furthermore he disappeared.
