Firim and the cosmic chart was everything we needed to know to understand the cosmos.
World of Warcraft follows an idea of casual determination, that proposes there is an unbroken chain of prior occurances stretching back to the origin of the Universe. Firim calls these occurances “fractals” like in geometry overlaping waves emanating from a centric point.
Casual predestination “because God’s omniscience is perfect, what God knows about the future, will inevitably happen. Which means the future is already fixed.” WoW utilizes prophets with the ability of “true sight” to tap into this fixed future. True sight is something both priests and shamans can tap into, but it’s ultimately connected to Spirit (Chi). There is nothing in the Universe that has no cause, or is self caused. Firim ascribes this to a singular onnicsent creator. Let’s call this being, “God consciousness” this form allows for a multiplicity of God’s, each is a fractal of this central consciousness. Firim in exile part 6 “you may hear the song but you may not understand it” he spoke of Oracles, who communicated in tones that sound like song. He heard it’s “voice.” But not really, he felt the words as much as he heard them. “The thoughts entered my consciousness and conveyer their meaning to my entire being.”
“It spoke in images. Riddles. Prophecies. Thousand truths.[…] The oracle spoke in both one truth and a thousand. Not as separate thoughts, but as one in the same instant. […] Long have I scoffed at what I learned of Titans, or the void lords, or demons of the Nether. I held Death’s pantheon in higher regard, but I know they are just as limited. Truth lies not in one direction or another, but in their intersection.”
“The First Ones had parceled out their gifts, but gave no child all of them. No wonder these offspring bickered with such incessant jealousy. Their very nature was one of denial.” This invokes the myth of Prometheus, there are variations but the Orphic variation is the following. God lacking forethought gave all the gifts of the Gods to animals, and when they came to humans there were no more gifts left to give, so Prometheus gave humanity wisdom instead. It’s reductive to think of all the Cosmic forces as individual factions warring for supremacy but instead see them as parts or fractals of the same source.
“Six forces pointed towards the seventh, and yet denied it.” I think this is referring to the cosmic chart as being a Metatron’s cube.
13 circles that are connected by straight lines. “I considered again their design. The pattern. Lines and curves, arcs and angles.”
The 7th is the Great Cycle, “the geometry took shape in my mind. It was both Six AND seven. The six were one, and the seventh the other.” I think what Firim is trying to explain here is that are two beings, one an amalgamation of the six cosmic forces, and a seventh which was separate. “Did they desire a union?” divine dualism.
“The song seemed to say otherwise.” This is where Firim left it up to mystery. I think it’s because it still hasn’t been revealed the last part of the knowledge to solve “the Song.”
“The song must not be allowed to end. Do the First Ones still sing it? If they do not who will?”
The Hermetica (a gnostic egyptian text) says, “There is a body which encloses all things.”
In order to relate concept to something understandable, we refer to Greek myth. The Supreme God Ouranos, ensuring a portion of space (Gaea) by enclosing it in an embrace and forcing it to conceive six “one eyed principles” aka malformed syzygys-lacking true cosmic conciousness.-Ouranos then hurls them down into the depths of Tartarus- (material existence itself, the lower pole of Gaea sphere of existence.) Creating The Seven Fold Cosmic World.
The Gnostic text On the Origin of the World states that seven heavens were created in Chaos by Yaldabaoth below the higher realms and each of them are ruled over by an Archon. During the end times, these heavens will collapse on each other and the heaven of Yaldabaoth will split in two, causing its stars to fall upon the Earth, therefore causing it to fall into the Abyss.
Ra-den references this end time in his Throne of Thunder monologue, “Wait! I am… I am not your enemy. You are powerful, more powerful than he was, even… perhaps you are right. Perhaps there is still hope. But there is a yawning chasm of darkness beneath you mortals, vast, endless, and all consuming. I do not believe that you can correct this doomed course. But you have earned the right to try. Farewell.”
