Editing Angra Mainyu (section)

==Continued Musing on The Roiling Monstrosity and the Endless Benevolence==

In the Spirit World, things are boiled down to their most metaphoric level. Nothing has shape or form, only meaning and sentience. The True Gods roll on top of eachother, warring, mating, struggling with eachother and relenting to the advances of others. It is hard to say exactly where one Divinity ends and another begins. 

Ormazd and Angra Mainyu are brothers, twins, antitheses, and the cardinal points of the moral spectrum. Together, the Twins allow all Creation to exist through the interplay of Space and Time, Evil and Good. That Hominids and Insects struggle on a hundred worlds against eachother throughout the Tree only mirrors their (literally) eternal struggle. 

In many ways they are so opposite they are practically the same. They are two sides of the same coin, the furthest points of light and darkness in Creation. Some legends say they were birthed together in the womb of Cneph, born of his hope and doubt for all life in Creation. Others say they coalesced in the Spirit World at opposite ends of possibility, and their polar attraction to each other spawned all the other Divine Ymera who make up the Spirit World.

Ormazd is wise and omnipresent, existing in every point in the universe. Angra Mainyu is simple-minded and exists simultaneously in all moments in time. Every act of kindness, heroism or justice is a manifestation of Ormazd's glory. Every act of cruelty, villainy or wrongdoing is an emanation of Angra Mainyu's foulness. Ormazd fathered humanity and all creatures like it throughout the World Tree. Angra Mainyu infests every world in the form of legions of crawling insects. We move from one place to another through Ormazd, his nature allowing us free passage through his body. We are dragged against our will constantly towards our end by Angra Mainyu's hate.

In his bountiful heart, Ormazd dreams of one day uniting all worlds and all creatures as if they were neighbours, ushering in an age of perfect harmony. In his black, poisonous core, Angra Mainyu hopes only for the end of the universe. He just toys with reality as a distraction until the big day. Neither will ever achieve their dream if the other has their say. And so, the history of the world continues ...
