In the eyes of the beholder, a world was to have been envisioned more perfect than that which preceded it, for the sake of all beings.

The world was imperfect. Creation had employed the origins of a divine heaven, to be tainted by a restless social equilibrium. Existence had been controlled by two powerful abstract forces of nature; The Veiling and the Unveiling.

The Unveiling, the force of knowledge and advancement, had become widely avoided by the masses due to its nature of rigorous effort to achieve growth. The Veiling, the force of ignorance and useless action, had been cloaked under a golden shroud and had mastered the skill of deceiving a many great souls into becoming covetous of its offering of moral ease bearing unclear consequence. These two forces would be at constant paralleled agenda, conflicting in nature, and serving as the root of turmoil between the beings of soul and their surroundings. The world would not yet understand this.

At the root of all beginnings comes an influence from the Unveiling. This force may be seen as the Sower, that which provides existence by providing the framework for creation to exist and develop, and its respective consequences. Birth can be viewed as the call to exist by a being’s purpose having been forged by the Elohim.

At the root of all ends comes an influence from the Veiling. This force may be seen as the reaper, that which brings cataclysm by eroding the essence of knowledge and ambition. Death can be viewed as the end of a being’s purpose inflicted by the Elohim.

Existence had been sparked by the action of the Elohim. From the very instance of creation, the dynamics of the Veiling and Unveiling had been present, though not yet in full use, as to create a system which could eventually run free from physical supervision by the Elohim. The world would be molded by the physical consequences caused by the dynamics present within the created space.

Various beings, with and without soul alike, would be created from a central monolith pertaining to life itself. Some beings would be set unique from the vast majority by their possession of a soul and the consequences contained therein. Those with soul would be elevated to a heightened authority over the beings without, and would be subject to harsh judgement due to such privilege, being the ability to know. The beings of soul would have choice in their rhetoric, though not warranted to be inherently correct, which presented them with the capability to become greater and embrace the gifts of the Unveiling, or to revert their evolution by indulging in the comfort of the Veiling. Thus began the meaning of soul, to decide where to stand along the spectrum of knowledge and ignorance.

The concept of afterlife can be generally explained as an instance in which a soul may become an entity in itself, no longer needing physical manifestation in order to act. A non-physical being may interact with the non-physical realms, while a physical being may interact with physical realms. To die a physical death is to lose the ability to shape the physical realm. To die a spiritual death is to lose the ability to affect anything at all. While physical death is inevitable, spiritual death is induced by the soul itself, to become weighted or enlightened by its actions and morals in a dynamic of floatation or drowning within the metaphysical river of spirituality. To float along the river is to reach a state of enlightenment in which a soul may reside within the realms of the Elohim. To drown within the river is to reach a state of solitude, uncapable of being interacted with by any other entity.
