Memories crowded upon Him suddenly. Actually He ignores either the age of the Universe, which generated His lordship, or His own age, because the temporality like this is non-existent to him. He is objectification of eternity, but however and naturally His lordship will disappear together with this universe once. Time is not important. Life of creatures inhabiting His planet is significant only, because this is the source of power - feeding, warming, and inspiring. He feels very comfortable here inside of the energetic cocoon, and He is not going to change anything until the end of his own eternity. And the memories fill His spirit with the same luxury sense, as well as consecutive large lot of souls new-parting from their frail capsules.
He recalled the day when, for His own curiosity, He inflated with souls two shaggy beasts skipping around on sunny meadow. It was a couple of some kind of apes having a tendency to bipedal locomotion. Ever since He had been supervising the way, in which they gradually turned into those bipedal creatures, with whom the planet is overpopulated now. Of course, He could skip that step, because scope of dying animals deliver quite sufficient amount of energy to biosphere. But energy from life forms shorn of emotions and feelings doesn't furnish any aesthetic delight. Consuming of energy produced by animals, which are hunted absolutely for the sake of hunger appeasement or diet appending, is as good as confining to bread and water, and abandoning hotplate and wine. Passion, hot and spicy like condiment, sweet and intoxicating like liqueur, mysterious and intriguing like Oriental course, wreak havoc in the world of morally significant creatures.
He, as a matter of fact, never had any alternative method to experience all of the things, unattainable for disembodied spirit, as to keep watching over inhabitants of the planet. At least He knows the material world completely good by virtue of sensory perception of people. For a time, He merely kept his eye on proceeding events, but sometimes He set up different experiments, landing down and manifesting Himself in either manner. People can well believe in all of His words, and unquestionably follow any of His commandments. Every of His Epiphany they considered to be a miracle, they tried to register and picture each event in any accessible manner, they passed information to each other and to their descendants reverently. He never took a toll, but apparently, a corban to the gods is in this creatures' blood, that is why, under any excuse they sacrifice themselves and others species, consequently precious generously supplying Him with the premium bioenergy flavored with feelings.
Sometimes wholesale deaths take place in their societies. They devastate from plague, smallpox, cholera, AIDS, radiation, hunger, Siberian anthrax, Spanish flu, and many other things of disaster. They suffer from natural calamities, contribute their fragile lives to the cruel planet without any compunction. But this is not enough for them. People endlessly conceive wars and conflicts, leaving senseless sacrifice at the battle fields. He never understood such type of attitude toward Himself, and similar and like creatures from the point of view of sensible beings, but on the other hand, He never prevented them, because until now there is no real threat of their total extinction by the reason of extermination. His Cocoon becomes bigger and more comfortable owing to desperation and madness of human beings, and He has in own possession a vast stock of non-consumed energy, which is going to allow Him prevailing during millions (no one knows how long) of years after natural mortality of this planet.
His lordship never could understand people’s appeals addressed to Him, as well as their prayers, and especially their oaths. When in the times of plague they held up hands to heaven and implored quarter, asked for health for their relatives, or exclaimed: «Why me?», He always regarded madness of two legged mammals with perplexity (if, of course, such notions as concealed in words «perplexity» and «regard» can be applicable to a spirit at all), because those were rodents and representatives of human species guilty of epidemics, since they did not abide by norms of hygiene. When numerous warriors crumbled away within Crusades with His name blown out their lips, and when adherents of a different faith raised abuse against alien religion, He was rather surprised about all of workings, seeing that He didn’t ask, and didn’t want anything like that. He even cannot understand their strained animosity, because these adherents of various religions never occurred adherents of a different faith relative to each other. All of them adore only His lordship alone, giving to Him diverse names, and crediting Him with miscellaneous images. But previously throughout the duration of millenniums people could not even guess, that He is absolutely sole, so they structured ambitious temples devoted to hundred pantheons. He wondered, how the hell He, energetic essence, could help the slave, who had been trampled under horse hooves, or dismount warrior, who had been overridden by a battle cart?
Nevertheless, in grateful ecstasy about generous food, once He presented himself to a man of great ability, who managed to formulate the code of moral and social principles, basing on human belief. The worldwide cult amused him, but the herd instinct, inherent to the “glory of nature”, annoyed a lot. Being individuality in all senses, He angrily numbered fifty million souls, mentally accusing them for that, since they had got into a dreadful slaughter by command of two maniacs, who did not want to share something between each other.
He treats with indulgence those, who name Him great and mighty one. «Well, - He thinks, - I can do every bit in case if I want, but why I should trouble myself? Unless that to disperse the monotony, when it comes entirely beyond endurance». In point of fact, why He would undertake something, in case if people contribute their souls to the God every minute. Whilst their imagination exhausts in regard to invention of new methods of murder and suicide, He will willingly toss a couple of ideas to a consecutive schizophrenic clothed with authority. And then again a lot of souls will queue up in front of the gate of His Cocoon. (2004)
