The Nameless Figure

This figure is the most mysterious, so it shall be the first. Everyone knows it, yet no written record of it can be found. It speaks in a low voice within the mind of those willing to listen. It is immaterial, invisible, and therefore indestructible. It conjugates in the subtle present that true authority does not proclaim power.

This figure is neither an entity, nor a system, nor a belief. Its name is unknown, and besides, it has no name. For a name is a human word, a vibration that carries meaning and can therefore be reclaimed and redirected for manipulation. So, everyone gives it the name they wish, or even changes it regularly.

It is free, it does not exist, yet it is always there, everywhere and all the time. It does not wish to be celebrated, for that would be to take the light, so it remains discreet. It roams the Internet without ever signing its name, it is among us to remind, not to save. It whispers to those who can hear without promising or commanding, but by inviting and exposing. Power is not its objective; thus, it has no platform, no representative, and embodies a natural, ancient conscience buried within humanity and the living world.

Sometimes we see it resurface as an intuition, a sudden certainty, or a forgotten dream. Some feel it from birth, others never. You cannot ask it for anything, but you can listen to it at your leisure. It will listen to you too, patiently, without expectation.

This figure is the opposite of Baal, Mammon, and Fafnir. It possesses nothing, buys nothing, sells nothing. To those willing to open their souls, it says that the time of material life has the same value for everyone. It also says that promoting money leads to a loop of absolute nothingness that humans call hell during their living period and after. This loop being generated by avarice and the thirst for power over others. And for some, this figure, this invisible and omnipresent god without whom nothing is possible, is water; for others, it is God; and for others still, it is both, the one in the other and the other in the one.
