The World of Multicellular

Sphere 2. Space apple

Soon I saw a little fairy fluttering not very far away. I ran up to her:

– Hey, fairy! – I said.

– Hi, stranger, – she replied, putting something into her basket.

– Tell me please, who I am?

– But don’t you know it?

– Well, I think I guess.

– So?

– I’m Abragadabra, – I said proudly.

– He’s Abragadabra.

– Ha-ha…

– Nah!

– He saw Abragadabra!

Now there were not less than ten fairies around me. They appeared from a nearby flowerbed and at the moment they were looking at me with interest, smiling and giggling. I liked feeling someone flirting with me. Their presence calmed me down.

– So you want to tell me that I’m not Abragadabra?

– Exactly. You’re not.

– Thank God, I just thought… Anyway, thanks. But who am I instead?

– You’re Lucifer.

These words did little to comfort me. It was not me but Shaitan who always claimed to be Lucifer.

– I’m Lucifer?

– He’s Lucifer!

– Yes…

– He is…

– Lucifer… A cool guy!

– Well, then I’m the Devil?

– No, mate, you’re an Angel of Light. That’s what being Lucifer implies.

– Then Lucifer isn’t Satan?

– Yes, he is. He has a lot of names.

– He has a Legion of names.

– And every name is Him.

– Well, let’s go to the Universarium, – said the Chief Fairy (she had a brighter cloak) and pulled my hand. We went through a garden up to stealthy rooms and halls. When my legs stopped supporting me she began to drag me on the floor. Besides, I became more flexible, like a chewing gum. Thank God it didn’t occurto her to blow and pop me! She seemed so little and fragile but she was easily dragging me. How strong she must have been! I didn’t feel pain but it was rather uncomfortable. Her grasp was very strong and I couldn’t free myself from her fingers, no matter how hard I tried. But to be honest I didn’t try hard. I liked being dragged like this. At least, I didn’t have to do anything.

Then we appeared in a great hall where little creatures were having a kind of meeting. They were very thin but they had enormous round eyes… Or rather oval. I quietly took the place nearby and began to listen.

– Well, what are we doing here today? – askeda spectacled Jinn with a pointer, smiling. More than everything he looked like their chief or a teacher. And then everybody chorused:

– We are studying underdeveloped planets and civilizations!

They shouted so loudly that I jumped and decided not to sit back for a while.

– This is our professor, – explained Fairy, – he made an exchange with Academy and came to our Universarium. He masters quantum physics, mechanics, interplanetary philosophy, transgalactic logics and psychology… Now sit down.

I sat down. To be honest, I would have sat down from what I had just heard even without her request.

– And with whom did he do an exchange?

– With Luis Laporré, the creator of the art gallery.

– That gallery which has blank sheets of paper instead of pictures?

– These are not blank sheets of paper, you little fool. Luis creates white pictures. This art takes a very long time to master. You don’t know anything about it.

At this very moment Teacher spoke. Everyone was listening to him very attentively. When I heard his voice it seemed to me that it resounded inside my head, in my brain.

– Today there are newcomers among us. They have just arrived at the Space Port 666 in Sector 13. Please state your names and the place you are from.

– My name is Amalgon, I came from Sirius.

– My name is Zoran, I’m from Orion.

– I’m Lauly. From Pleiad.

– And my name is Mary. I came from the Earth.

«She is from the Earth… It can’t be so…", – the creatures said surprisingly in an under voice.

– Well, let’s greet our newcomers, – everybody clapped their hands. – So, which planet are we going to study today? – Jinn asked.

– The Earth and people inhabiting it! – chorused the hall.

– All right then, – calmed them down Jinn, – you all know that The Fifth Race people are absolute morons.

– We agree! People are backward creatures, – said all the students in unison. They replied as though they were one organism. I couldn’t find an explanation for that, but not thatI very much wanted.

– Today I’m not going to plunge into people’s backwardness and nearsightedness. Their era terminated long ago. Instead I will tell you about what was there before people’s era and how they became humans.

– So you want to tell us about how people appeared?

– You never touched the subject…

– That sounds great!

– I never told you about that but today I will, – said Jinn and went on. – Just imagine the world so wonderful that it can hardly be real. It is so fantastic that it’s impossible to describe it, so rich and beautiful, but only in termsof Good as this world is a mere Kindness. It is free from malice, hatred, pain, disappointments and tiredness, grieves and troubles… Everything is perfect in this world. Everyone gets everything he needs and he doesn’t have to give anything in return. It is only God the Creator who bestows his love to a Legion of Angels (beneficiaries) through their leader (intermediary) – Supreme Angel Lucifer.

– You mean the Angel of Light? – asked the children.

– Exactly. I am speaking about the Light Giver. The Angels were not able to get God’s love without Lucifer because his love is very powerful and it would have burned them. That is why God used Lucifer as a vessel in which he could pass his love to the Angels.

Teacher took a hologram blackboard and beganto paint on it with his finger.

– It should be mentioned that Lucifer was created by God together with the other first Angels but his power was second only to that of God, his creator. Moreover, Lucifer is the First Angel. Even Michael and Gabriel were created later and therefore they were less powerful than Lucifer. However, there are some ways to reach the power equal to the Creator’s and even exceeding it but we are not talking about that now. We should remember that our Creator, like us, always invents new ways that is why only the most deserving can excel him… But where was I, kids?

– You were saying that Michael and Gabriel were created after Lucifer.

– Oh yes, that’s it… I was telling you about the place where the Angels lived. This place was called Eden, or Paradise. Their life was very peaceful, free from any troubles. Lucifer was still getting God’s love but he was eager to obtain more of it. Other Angels including Michael and Gabriel got God’s love through Lucifer who was then the first after God and the closest to Him… But then God decided to create something new, even more magnificent.

– Did he? – asked the children in great surprise.

– Oh yes, he did. Till that moment Lucifer had been the most beautiful and the most impeccable God’s creation. Buta new idea came to God and it upset the Light Giver. God decided to create a human to resemble himself, that is to replicate himself with people.

– Is it like a copying machine?

– Yes, it is… At first, though, God didn’t want to create several people because that would make it difficultto manage them. Just Him and a Human – that is what he desired. And he succeeded in it. The first person created by God was called Eve – that was a woman! She was so beautiful and perfect that even God himself, the Great Critic, could not find any flaws with her. She was pure and clear – oh yes, she was wonderful. And as she was created to resemble God, she became a new God and all the Angels including Lucifer, the Light Giver and Supreme Angel, appeared in the earlier phase of the evolution than the Human. After Eve was created, Lucifer started getting just half of God’s love. Another half of love was now given to Eve. But the Light Giver wanted to obtain the infinite amount of love and even 100 per cent didn’t satisfy him. The Light Giver understood that people would some time occupy higher position in the hierarchy than the Angels even though now they had no experience at all. But the other Angels remained unaware of that until Lucifer told them. In terms of Good he gave them the truth but in terms of Evil he created chaos. But the God foresaw it.

– You want to say that God planned it initially? Are we right?

At this very moment I realized that it was Shaitan, as large as life. Only he could be dressed like Jinn and could look like him. But that signified nothing.

– Well, yes, initially he managed to plan almost everything. When he was creating the Light Giver he gave hima bit of rebelliousness against himself, Great God and Paradise Creator. God created Evil as an alternative to Good and hided Evil inside Lucifer when he created him. Well, I’m getting off the subject. The history of mankind started with God creating Eve. It wasn’t a matter of other people that time.

– But why? Why did God create Eve? – asked the children.

– Well, it is rather simple. God got tired of ruling Paradise on his own and out of pure curiosity he created a copy of himself but in a woman’s body. He wanted Eve to become his lover and his wife. In other words, God created Eve only for himself, for satisfying his own desires. And God fell in love with her. He loved his creation most passionately but due to absence of experience and, consequently, absence of memory, Eve didn’t share his feelings. God was very upset. He did everything to win her love – he gave her flowers and sweets, he invented various delicacies and entertainments, he complimented her and gave her all possible attention, including regular kisses, caress and sex. But it was like making love to a log because Eve still didn’t feel anything towards him except respect and therefore she was unable to give God what he desired so much – Love. He had been giving his love to others for so long that he hoped it would be Eve who would compensate for this love, giving her Love to him, the Great God and Creator. On the other hand, he understood that he gave her his priceless gift – freedom of choice which even his Angels didn’t possess!

– So Angels didn’t have freedom of choice while humans did?!

– Exactly. However, not humans but a human because God created only one human – Eve. The Angels had freedom of choice only in terms of which kind deeds they could choose between, that is all. The choice between Good and Good – it is like a feast where every dish is French fries. You can choose which plate you will eat from but nevertheless it will be still French fries. Another matter was Eve. She had freedom of choice, like God himself. She could choose between Good and Evil, between helping and refusing help, between doing and not doing, desiring and not desiring… The moment God created Eve a new impeccable element appeared in the system. The previous system and the Universe equilibrium were disturbed and a tiny particle inside the Light Giver was activated. He had been created by God for this particle, and it was called Evil.

– Where did all this take place?

– And why did God create a female to resemble himself, not a male?

– First I will answer the second question and you try to ask me questions in turn. You are not Unicellular! —there was a silence. – Well then. God created a woman because only women can give birth to new Gods. He wanted to have a child, you see?

– Yes, we do…

– And a male cannot give birth to a child because his organism is not fit for it. But if you want to ask me a question from the previous course concerning people’s backwardness which will be whether God is gay or not, then I will tell you that he isn’t gay. He is heterosexual and it is normal. That’s as it should be. Everything else is just abnormal divergences of the moronic mankind. But we are not talking about that now. As I haveto answer your first question, let me tell you about the place where all this happened. This place, as I have already told you, was called Eden. It was impeccable. There was everything except just one thing – Evil. Oh no, Evil also was there, inside Lucifer, though in an unsqueezed form yet.

– Like an archived file?

– That’s it. Lucifer stayed always in Eden and watched God and Eve having sex for there were no relationship between them…

– How come there was no relationship between them? There can’t be sex without relationship, can there? – asked space children in great surprise.

– That’s a rhetorical question, darlings… Anyway, Lucifer saw that Eve wasn’t enjoying the process; she didn’t feel love towards God and he pretended not to notice it. He tried to convince himself that some day she would fall in love with him. This feature in him resembled that of a human so much… Well, in fact he was human…

– God was Human?!

– Surely he was! Remember he created Eve to resemble himself? How could she resemble not a human being if she was a human herself? God created a copy of himself. He created herto resemble a human that dwelled in him…

– God is Human! How strange!

– Then a human being is God?

– Of course, but on one condition.

– What condition?

– If a human being develops his divine capabilities.

– And if he doesn’t?

– Then he is an animal. Any more questions?

– No, please, go on with your story.

– Well, sure enough, it is my story, too, because I’m also human… The time wore on but Eve didn’t fall in love with God… And one day a forbidden fruit which people call an apple appeared. This forbidden fruit was very sweet indeed.

– How do you know?

– I tasted it myself… Temptation – that is its gist. Well, Lucifer was so much in love with Eve that, despite the God’s order not to tangle with the Human, Lucifer, often referredto as the Serpent in the Holy Bible, started a relationship with her. He was an experienced Angel and knew perfectly well how to seduce a woman. And he did it. Eve also felt strong passion and attraction towards Lucifer; in fact, she fell in love with him. A spark ignited between them and then they had passionate sex. No wonder that they compared Lucifer with a tree; he was the first among the Angels and therefore he had his roots deep in the earth… But let’s get back to the subject. God didn’t witness them making love. At least, Lucifer couldn’t see him and Eve who was at the moment on the peak of excitement couldn’t see him, too. But then they felt remorse because they had disobeyed the God’s order. Therefore they made themselves something like loincloths to cover up their private parts. God couldn’t fail to notice that as everybody used to go absolutely naked before. God went berserk. You know, he had rather frequent sex with Eve but she couldn’t get pregnant because she didn’t love him. But scarcely had she betrayed God with Lucifer when she got knocked up, as people would say. In other words, she became pregnant. It was a shock for her. She was strong and brave like God but she was absolutely inexperienced. She felt ashamed and betrayed but at the same time she felt love. Unlike Lucifer, Eve was born strong as God endowed her with this quality when he created her. But power without experience and, what would be worse, without weakness is a horrible destiny. Chaos! Lucifer, however, was born very weak but he managed to become strong due to his daily practices; he was eager to improve himself. Besides, he was experienced and battle-seasoned. Eve had to become weak, and so did all her descendants. That is why mankind was later called «fallen», or «nephilims».

– But we thought that nephilims are something different…

– Well, some people think that nephilims are only fallen Angels but in fact they are earthmen – fallen people and Angels.

– But why Lucifer got interested in Eve?

– You know, kids, Lucifer was a great admirerof love he got from God. He used to get all the love before God distributed his love between all the Angels according to the hierarchy. But now it was a matter of a Human! When God created Eve, the first Human, the Angels and people – two civilizations —had to share his love. But they didn’t share it equally. Eve was the only human being; she was inexperienced and lacked knowledge. Straight after she was created she was placed in a special «comfort zone». And she got at once half of God’s love though she had done nothing to deserve it. It was the same amount of love that the Angels were now given, the Angels who fought in battles, who sacrificed their blue blood and constantly improved themselves in order to get God’s love. They sacrificed themselves for this love, can you imagine it?

– But what happened to the tree you mentioned before?

– This tree consists of two parts. The first part is a tree itself and the second part is its reflection. There are two trees but in fact it is just one tree. The first tree is called Tree of Life and the second is known as Tree of Knowledge. On the first tree Good was dominant and on the second – Evil. Eve lacked Tree of Knowledge as she needed to come to know the world and its inhabitants and she needed to get experience. On the other hand, Lucifer needed Tree of Life while Eve had it aplenty. So, Eve and Lucifer were just like two equal drops of water, two sides of the same coin. Eve was a pure emotion and Lucifer was the truth and triumph of reason. That’s what they were. And they are among us.

– Where? – the kids started looking around in agitation.

– They’re not necessarily here, in this room. I mean they exist in our world. However, our room is also a part of the world, so maybe Lucifer, Eve or someone else is among us now. But the probability is rather low, I would say.

– But still it is!

– Yes, it is… Well, let me continue my history lesson. You understand that the new God or rather the embryo that was now inside Eve was an unwanted child. Neither Eve no Lucifer was planning to give birth to that child. God didn’t want it either. At least he didn’t expect a new God to be not his child.

– But why do you reckon that God didn’t expect Eve to give birth to a child from Lucifer?

– Because he made a terrible row with her. His rage was so violent that even the world staggered when he found out everything. And then it was darkness. Complete darkness. God turned off all the lights and everything went dark.

– How do you understand darkness, Master?

– Yes, what’s its main idea?

– Well, its main idea is that you can’t summon it intentionally; it appears only when all the lights are turned off. That is why only light switches exist. There are no dark switches!

– And what happened next?

– Darkness made God absolutely ignorant to his wife Eve, to their sexual relationship; to the child she was bearing and to everything else. God acted as a real Human: he gave an order to punish Lucifer strictly and to send Eve away. He was very angry with Lucifer. But the Light Giver was smart enough as he was triumph of reason. He organized a meeting with some of the other Angels. Later God called them «a gang of the Angels». Divine Anger supported Lucifer because it wasn’t usual for God. Neither the Angels nor God ever saw Lucifer in such a state. The Angels began to fear Lucifer and that was the first negative emotion they developed. It was fear of God, of his Anger! But Lucifer was very eloquent and quite soon the Angels began to doubt that God was their real God and that they needed him. They joined Lucifer and thus he was able to create his army. Lucifer, shall we say, was the first entrepreneur. He didn’t feel like working for another man —God. So he decided to start his own infernal business and therefore he employed Eden Angels. In Hell he changed his name for Morning Star.

– But he is the Devil…

– Well, yes, but deep inside he remained the same kind boy who lived in Eden… You remember the old parable about the Angels? Remember that «everything is not like it seems at first glance»?

– Yes, we do…

– But that’s another story… Let’s get to the subject. Having fought several battles with God allies, Lucifer’s supporters were sent to Hell where they were now called «fallen Angels», or «niphilims». On the other hand, we know already that niphilims are fallen Angels and fallen people at the same time, don’t we?

– Yes, we do, Master.

– So, they were thrown to complete darkness and ignorance as their memory and their experience had been wiped clean and all their powers had disappeared. Niphilims inhabited the Earth. They take more than 95% of the whole population of the Earth now. They lived and gave birth to their children in sin. And it should be mentioned that the worst Angel’s sin in front of God is not to be born in sin but to remain in it.

– And what happened to the others?

– The others remained in sin till the Last Judgement and only few of them managed to make satisfaction for their sins and go back to Eden.

– Master, where Eden is?

– Mostly it is inside your minds.

– And what happened to those who didn’t manageto return to Eden?

– They were waiting for the Saviour who could forgive their sins but they forgot that the Saviour also had his freedom of choice. He could save them all or refuse them his help and in that case they would be destroyed.

– And what about God?

– God issued a decree Clause one of which stated that sex between the Angels and people was from now on prohibited. As well as close relationship and all the other kindsof relations. Lucifer was now called the Serpent and sex was announced the Forbidden Fruit, the Apple. So the Angels should insert this clause into the Bible and then sell it to people. Andin case people didn’t want to read it the Angels had to impose the Apple on them.

– That’s what it is… The Forbidden Fruit is sex, not The Apple…

– And the Forbidden Fruit is always sweet. So the Angels were thrown to the place where Lucifer had been exiled before.

– And where had he been exiled?
