Chapter 1688: Bonds, Connection
Each and every one figures in his life that is connected to him seem to flash by in his mind. Some of them he remembers very vividly. Some are people who he just met briefly
And then he could see it
he could sense this invisible power that is intertwining himself with all of these people that he had met. Some are dead and some are still alive.
Some have bene cut and some have been untangled. Some are still tangled and tied tightly
It did not exist just now. It has always existed. The only difference is that, before he could not see it clearly.
Now, he could see it clearly.
And that makes a whole world of difference.
What is it that he sees and senses?
Not memories.
Not feeling.
But cause and effect.
"Cause and effect" he mutters.
Tap!
Tap!
Tap!
There is the rain that is still falling. And Azief eyes look at the droplet of rain that is falling on him. If he wanted to, this drizzle of rain would not fall on his body
It would be repelled and his body would be free from the wetness.
But he did not do that. Instead, he lets the rain pelt his body.
Each droplet of rain seems so insignificant to anyone in the world but as Azief look at these falling droplet of rain he could not help but understand something.
Each of these droplets also have cause and effect but because they are not living beings these cause and effect is a result of Karma.
Someone does something and something is affected.
A rain here and there, bring waters, bring life, causes floods, causes lakes, causes rivers, causes things to happen.
Life blooms, plants take it, the land dissolves, water is one of the causes.
This is chaos, this is life. And with existence, come chaos. Without existence, without life, everything in in order.
It is not only the understanding of the cause and effect but also the understanding of order and chaos.
Precisely because he now have the two avatars, one of harmony and one of chaos inside him, this is probably the reason why suddenly this insight about order and chaos come to him
"I am living among mortal, I am mortal, so how could I escape cause and effect?" he thought to himself.
At first he just sigh. This is simply his thought. But then as the time seems to not move, Azief thinks again
Now, this is no longer a thought
But a question
The question is simple.
How could he escape cause and effect?
The answer is just a whisper at first until it turns into an obsession. In just a few second, Azief who simply accepted that this is the state of cause and effect suddenly become obsessed about getting the answer to this question
"This thing has never bene invisible to me" Azief thought to himself. He had senses it before He had seen it during his "talk" with the Creator.
He saw how things are connected. How certain things have certain effects. How certain deeds affect destiny and fate
There is probability. There is coincidence. But when coincidences are accumulated, it turns into destiny and fate.
"What....where should I go?" he seems to be asking himself the question.
He had entered a state of enlightenment. He had seen death. Strares at it. And he even died
once. Though that death was brief, he did die.
A spear in his chest. Two times actually. One is at that Evolver world where he got the All- Source fragments and apply it to his Laws
The other one is when he got speared and saved by Katarina. At that time, he relay thought he
would die.
And he also see many people dies.
Some of which he remembers. And when he remember these people, his heart moved
Some dies for their ideals.
Some dies because of their own action.
Some dies because of the so called "coincidence"
Some dies for him.
Some dies because of him.
Some dies because of themselves.
Seeing death and seeing cause and effect.
And seeing people die, all of these people dying for their own belief, whether that belief is
bad or not, there is a will in it.
A kind of determination that transcend life and death. Those who die for this will, bruns
brightly.
Because they put gains and losses behind, they put winning and losing behind and all that they ask, is to walk their path, win or lose, live or death
These good and bad death, affected his mortal state of mind.
You can't put down things you didn't lift. Since you lift it, you can put it down, throw it away
or smash it.
But without the act of lifting it, none of the other actions could be completed
Since there is no cause, there is no effect.
But certain being is without causation.
Azief also understood this.
But he is not trying to understand these beings without causation
What he is trying to understand is the cause and effect that he had already forged.
Azief feel all of these feeling because he experienced all of this.
And experiencing all of this creates bond.
And bond is cause and effect.
Those who lives in seclusion does not feel that he is in the world of cause and effect.
But one day, if this person who secluded himself goes out and meet people, and when they
were about to die, all of his experience in the world would flash through his mind.
This is cause and effect. This is bonds. This is connection.
