Observations On Heyra And Advice To Chrysanthemum ThroneIn the early days of Mundus the world was quiet, still and perfect. Each living being lived in harmony with each other, they could understand each other, and our world was void of strife and suffering. One day Irivia gifted unto our kind fire, an act which enraged Kemoku (the enemy of creation). In retaliation Kemoku created Takara, a woman of incomparable beauty, and sent her to the court of the Toshindai Emperor, Tomokatsu, who came with an adorned vessel carrying within it all manner of ailment, discord and strife. Legends say that the Grand Maester at the time was incapable of dispatching any warning, this plot relayed to them by Islyna from a dream, and Emperor Tomokatsu would eventually make Takara his wife; the sacred bond of love being the perquisite for her to unseal the vessel and unleash its ghastly contents upon Mundus, thus tainting the perfect creation of Islyna. Thus the present world took shape, the beauty of creation marred by the ire of Kemoku, the consequences of which we all must bear.
Today we face ourselves with a new vessel being opened, this time in the Heyran Republic, as they tamper with the very language of the Divine written on the souls of each living being. Changing the very language written upon their souls before birth, an act which is unnatural and to which these souls may not even offer protest or consent, brings us into a new world with far-ranging consequences and dangers. There is a reason why each life is brought into the world, a reason for the manner in which they are brought into the world, and a reason as to why they are brought into this world as they are. Modifying languages which are not meant to be tampered with, I fear what the Republic will usher into our world just as much as I worry about what they will
deny our world. This speaks nothing to the prospect of cloning human life.
Each soul which is brought into this world is destined to find that soul which was parted from it at birth; we see this in love and marriage. If we see such cloning, life from the hands of those who cannot encompass the ramifications of such an act, who bestows upon them a soul; certainly they do not
share a soul, nor does man have the ability to craft for them a soul. Thus while mortal hands may hold the ability to modify the language of souls, they have no manner to form them nor bestow them. From a spiritual viewpoint, as far as I understand, they face a form of limbo. In this life I must wonder if they would be their own being, would they have the autonomy that we all enjoy or would they be beholden to whatever lab brought them into this world? Even without concerns of spirituality, the very notion brings to my heart a feeling of despair, sorrow, pity, empathy...it cannot be put into words, it is simply not right.
The events which are occurring within Heyra are an abomination and affront to life itself, wholly incompatible with Islyna's Contract to a level even Stalin dare not approach. Any Rosari Faithful must evaluate their dealings with the Republic, ensure that they in no way aid or enable their pursuit, and protect the sanctity of life and those who would be lost to limbo should these pursuits succeed. It is rare for me to feel something is wrong so deeply within my heart, the hold which these developments have and the weight they place on my chest is something I have never felt. I can only have faith that Chrysanthemum Throne, and Rokkenjiman leaders in other fields, will have the courage and conviction to uphold the principles of our faith and do that which is right.
