Are any of you familiar with Carl Jung? If not, then I suggest you do.

But that is not my reason to come to you today. Rather it is to, perhaps, open your eyes should you chose to do so.

What makes good, good and evil, evil? Should both be simply placed as one or the other? If the 'evil' become the ruling force, would the rules be reversed? If someone steps up to remove a tyrant, are they doing good, or, in the eyes of others, are they being the ones who are evil?

...Or are we what makes these forces exist in the first place? Can good be really called good if there is no evil to defeat, no goal for them to attain?

You were all called here for a reason, but should you believe one side...or the other about what is the truth? As we become more enlightened, we tend to forget what came before. And as history has a tendency to repeat itself...

A man looks above to the nearby mountain. He knows not how it was made, and therefore decides that a god put it there. Is this man false? Scientifically, perhaps, we know that mountains are produced by the movement of lithospheric plates. Yet when we knew nothing of this, we saw the truth in a god. And so, this idea is born and now exists. Man gave it power, and the ability to create the mountain is now that god's.

Personas are reflections of a character's inner self, yet they are the gods, demons and powerful creatures of our worlds.

So then...can a man become a god...or was he always one?

I'm quite familiar, yes.

'Evil' is a point of view. No one will ever agree on the definition of good and evil. In my world, I'm considered evil. By the standards of at least one religion, I'm considered one of the ultimate evils.

Does that mean I consider myself as such? No. I'm simply a man attempting to remove a tyrant. And yet I'm branded as such.

Man cannot become a god - but he has no reason to. To become like God would be to twist what makes humanity. Humans have free will - and God hates that they do, and He wishes to remove it if they do not follow what He commands. But free will and the ability to rebel and innovate is what makes humans what they are - and so an enemy of free will is an enemy of Man itself.

There should be no gods - only free will.

That depends on who is involved - there are many men, who, I am certain, would try to become God.

Therein lies the dilemma. If the Idea of God was born by Free Will, then why does this God seek to destroy it?

Where God came from is uncertain. As to why He hates free will, it's because He's a control freak. He claims to be omnipotent, but He is far from it - and when things don't happen according to His plan, he lashes out.

So you clashed with this God of yours, then.

I did. He and I have... history.

As a few others, it seems.

It's refreshing, to be honest.

I suppose it must be.

Now what will you do in this world, I wonder?

Why don't you wait and find out?
