===Where did it all come from?=== The People believe that all thought and consciousness, both human and spirit, lies on a continuum. Humanity lies at one end of this continuum; complicated, confused, unable to see clearly. Thought then progesses along this continuum through stages of "concentration", that is, having fewer qualities. It also progresses through stages of "amplification", that is, having qualities that encompasses more concepts. The qualities of spirits are an embodiment of this process; the simpler the spirit, the more concentrated that spirit is; the broader its qualities, the more amplified it is. As an example: a Weather spirit with the qualities of create, magnify, wind, sun, rain, cloud is less concentrated than a weather spirit that has create, wind. Both are less amplified than a spirit that has create, weather. The People believe that if you follow this process far enough, you enventually arrive at a spirit who is completely concentrated (it has only one quality) and completely amplified (that one quality encompasses all of thought). This spirit, the People believe, is God, the source and center of all existence. At some point in the past, all thought was God; there was no thought separate from God. But then, into the World came a new thought, a thought that was not God, from outside of time and space. This thought is called by the People the Enemy. The Enemy came to the World with evil and fire and destruction from heaven, and sundered all thought, so that the unity of God was shattered. The Enemy in fact sought to wipe out God, so that only the Enemy would exist. But the Enemy failed, and was itself shattered. Now, both God and the Enemy are locked in a war to concentrate and amplify themselves again. Humanity was born in this conflict; pitiful diffuse and narrow fragments of God's thoughts, corrupted and suffused with the thoughts of the Enemy.
