Light & Dark Discourses: Indulgence
Sep. 12th, 2004 11:08 pmDing breakthrough time! A minor one! I knew these discourses would help. I have a fragment of what it means to be of one court or the other at last (beyond the constant ‘for FREEDOM’ ‘for ORDER’ propaganda), even if it did take hours of the two faerie boys rambling at each other to get it.
This may revise if either one turn round and say something that invalidate the whole thing, but I think I got this bit.
Unseelie: the whole exists to focus on the self. The whole is there so the self can focus on and reach it’s own potential. The self is what’s important. The self is why the whole exists – to provide tools to allow that self to develop.
Seelie: The self should serve the whole. Individuals are important, but the grand design is more so. The self must be subservient to the whole, the needs of the whole and to protect the whole. The self must never damage the whole, because it is more important and more valuable.
