The False Lights and the True Flame

We often chase the false lights of this world, mistaking them for lasting joys. We convince ourselves that pleasure lies in temporary thrills, in fleeting distractions, in substances and addictions that promise freedom but leave us enslaved. The parties, the excess, the various bad habits and sins—all of it seems to fill us for a moment, but soon we are left with a strange emptiness, an inner silence so vast it feels cosmic. This emptiness whispers the Truth: we are not made for temporary lights, but for an eternal Flame.

That Flame is True, Unconditional Love. Not the distorted love that flatters our ego or demands something in return, but the Love that flows from our Uncreated Creator, who planted within us the seed of Virtue, Dignity, and eternal Purpose. When we align our actions with this Love, when we live as vessels of it, we discover a Joy deeper than any fleeting pleasure. It is a joy that does not vanish when the night ends or the music stops. It is a joy that tastes of eternity.

We experience it when we lift a hand to help someone in need, when we speak truth against injustice despite the cost, when we use our talents not to glorify ourselves but to build and heal. We feel it when we forgive those who wounded us, when we choose patience instead of anger, when we stand firm for what is right even if it means standing alone. We feel it in acts of mercy, in moments of humility, in sacrifices made silently but shining brightly in the unseen order of the universe. Each of these actions carries within it the resonance of Paradise, as if for a brief instant Heaven touches Earth.

Furthermore, the human heart has always sought the Truth. Yet we often stumble because our eyes are distracted by illusions—illusions that promise joy but conceal decay. The Uncreated Creator, who is Harmony, Peace, and Life itself, calls us not with false seduction but with Clarity. The adversary of good, however, cloaks destruction in sweetness, offering gifts that seem harmless or even desirable but that, in time, reveal themselves enslaving and destructive. The good bears fruits of goodness, returning love for Love. The false light bears only darkness, no matter how dazzling it first appears.

Moreover, the entire cosmos moves under the law of cause and effect. Every action, whether born of love or malice/hatred, ripples into the fabric of existence, creating harmony or chaos. To sow good is to invite Balance, to nurture Order, to become an instrument of Peace. To sow evil is to unleash disorder, to fracture what was meant for unity, to perpetuate suffering. Yet there is a remedy: Love. Love alone has the power to sever the chain of consequences that binds humanity to despair. Love alone restores what hatred has broken. Love alone lifts us beyond ourselves, reconnecting us to our true origin and destiny.

Therefore, the false lights will continue to beckon, dazzling and deceptive, although these will soon fade. However, those who choose to follow the True Flame, who seek the Joy born of Virtue, Compassion, and the Fulfillment of their unique mission, will know what it means to live fully. For in every act of genuine Love, no matter how small, we taste Eternity—and we remember that we were never made for emptiness, but for the boundless radiance of the Unconditional.

Order as the Core of Creation

Imagine, for a moment, a world steeped in total chaos, a reality where disorder reigns unchallenged. If such a world existed from the beginning, the fundamental balance of the Universe would be disrupted beyond repair. Over time, this state of disarray would inevitably lead to the collapse of all that exists, resulting in the destruction and ultimate annihilation of everything that constitutes the world around us. Such a scenario, however, raises a profound question: what could hold the fabric of existence together, ensuring it does not fall apart? The answer, as we will explore, is the principle of Order, a crucial force that underpins all creation.

At the heart of this idea is the notion that Order, rather than chaos, is the true essence of existence. If we consider God as the ultimate source of creation, the question arises: what does God embody? God, understood as the embodiment of perfect Order and Harmony, must be the origin of all that is. If we trace the origins of existence to their most fundamental source, we cannot avoid the conclusion that, at the very beginning of everything, there was Order. It was not chaos that gave rise to creation, but a coherent, harmonious force that brought structure and meaning to the Universe.

The concept of chaos as a foundation for creation is not only illogical but also inherently self-destructive. If chaos had been the driving force behind creation, there would have been no creation to speak of, no world to perceive, no structures to interpret. Creation itself would be impossible in a state of absolute disorder, because disorder does not produce life or form. Instead, it leads to disintegration and oblivion. Thus, the existence of creation itself points to the presence of Order at its core. Without it, everything would fall apart—literally and metaphysically—because there would be no cohesive force to maintain the unity of existence.

To further understand this, let us consider the nature of God as an entity of pure Love. Love, by its very nature, is an act of creation, an act of bringing something into being, of shaping life and existence from a place of profound care and intention. Chaos, on the other hand, is the antithesis of Love; it is destructive and destabilizing, not life-affirming. If God were associated with chaos and destruction, it would be impossible for God to bring forth creation in any meaningful sense. For creation requires the preservation of life and form, not the annihilation of it. In this way, the idea of a chaotic, destructive God is incompatible with the concept of creation. A deity that embodies chaos would not only fail to create, but would actively unmake all that exists, reducing everything to nothingness.

This leads us to the ontological necessity of Order. The existence of creation itself, the fact that we are able to perceive the world and interact with it in any meaningful way, suggests that at the foundation of reality, there is a principle of Order. Without this Order, there would be no Universe, no life, no perception—only void and confusion. It is the presence of this Order, this Harmony, that makes creation possible. Order is the governing principle that allows all things to come into being, to evolve, and to maintain their integrity over time.

Furthermore, this notion of Order as the foundation of existence resonates deeply with the concept of Good and evil, or more precisely, the principle that opposites cannot coexist in their purest forms. The sentence “Aut Bonum aut malum”—either Good or evil—captures this dichotomy. Good, in its truest sense, is the embodiment of Order, Harmony, and creation. Evil, on the other hand, represents the forces of chaos, destruction, and dissolution. These two principles cannot coexist in their purest states because they are fundamentally opposed to one another. A Universe governed by chaos and destruction cannot sustain life, just as a Universe founded on Order and creation cannot accommodate the forces of destruction without self-imploding.

Therefore, when we consider the nature of creation, we must recognize that the possibility of existence—of life, of perception, of structure—depends on an underlying Order. This Order, which we associate with the Divine, is not a mere abstract concept but the essential force that enables the Universe to exist in a coherent and sustainable way. It is this Order that allows creation to unfold in a meaningful manner, giving rise to the laws of nature, the principles of life, and the very structure of reality itself.

In conclusion, without Order at its foundation, creation would be unthinkable. Order is not just a secondary feature of existence; it is the fundamental principle that makes existence possible in the first place. A Universe without Order is a Universe without meaning, a Universe doomed to collapse in chaos. Therefore, it is only through the recognition and embrace of Order that we can truly understand the nature of creation and the Divine forces that govern it. The essence of creation—its structure, its beauty, and its continued existence—depends on the presence of this harmonious force. Without it, nothing could exist, and everything would return to nothingness.
