Xuanmen Sacred Scripture
Chapter 2
Miao: The Exploration of the Mysterious Existence
1:
You wonder what is happening when the scripture you reside in starts to turn into a lotus flower.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The second day of your spiritual cultivation starts.
You: What is happening?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: This is the first step to accumulate spiritual energy as the scripture ascends to lotus.
You pick up the second scripture but still do not see a single thing.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: This is The Holy Taoist Scripture. It shows whatever your soul seeks.
2:
You: What spiritual realm am I in now?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The spiritual realm of Miao.
You: What spiritual realm were I in before?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The spiritual realm of Xuan.
You: What is the difference?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Before Xiang was set, Xuan were men’s sperms, Miao were women’s eggs as they were independent. Setting Xiang means the conception of sperms and eggs retaining both Xuan and Miao.
You: So it is from men to women then?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Stable reincarnations that last for generations need balance. Hence if the previous Xiang was male then the next reincarnation is better to be female and vice versa.
3:
You: Do I keep asking questions on the second day as well?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: No question equals no reincarnation and thus no ascension to the immortal rank.
You: Is the sky round? Is the earth square?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Sky has the shape of the egg while earth has the shape of the sperm.
You are amazed: So women are the sky.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: This is where the old saying originated.
4:
After a long while, you ask: Why does the god of Xiang mold more men and less women when she sets Xiang?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The training of warriors starts with the sperms.
You: What is the connection?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Human realm needs warriors to compete and guard resources.
You: What resources?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Women.
5:
You don’t agree: There are many resources on earth that are not related to women.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Women are the unique and ultimate resources.
You don’t accept: Does the ruling power of an emperor relate to women?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Would you like to rule an empire without any women?
You: What about matrilineality?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: That was the time that women were respected by everyone, had nothing to do with patrilineality or matrilineality.
6:
You give some thoughts: Why don’t the gods make women stronger?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: You will know how strong women are if you ever give birth.
You: Didn’t you say men are warriors?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: A strong soul is different from a strong body. The war starts because of women and ends with women. If men, the supporting roles, are not brave and fierce, humanity is not worthy of existence.
7:
You: Women cannot reincarnate without men. Why is it men playing the supporting roles and cannot exist without women?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Yin and Yang, Xuan and Miao, they cannot exist without the other. However, your reincarnation cannot exist without women.
You: There is no reincarnation without men either.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The God of Xiang reincarnates to woman first as the rules of the Nine Skies.
8:
You: There is artificial fertilization from the tube done in the laboratory in the 21st century. There is no need for women to be pregnant and give birth.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: That is a human-like animal, not human.
You: Isn’t it also from men’s sperms and women’s eggs?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: That is monstrosity, has nothing to do with Xuan and Miao.
9:
You: Does that mean the providers of the sperms or eggs become devils and animals? Would the human being born like this possess Xiang？
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Everything in the universe possesses Xiang regardless.
You: Wouldn’t that mean it has something to do with Xuan and Miao when there is Xiang?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Xuan is a process of men making moves and Miao is a collaboration of women resonating which leads to the destination of climax through love. The evil creations from the laboratory do not have this love making process.
10:
You: Why set Xiang for them to start with?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The devils are intelligent as they can think with their souls, animals are physically strong but do not think as they just follow the lead of the devils. They are meant to become monsters with Xiang so that they serve as a reference for men and women.
You: Reference for what?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The joy of men and women making love where the rest don’t.
11:
You: Why does Xuannv set Xiang for everything? It is so confusing.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Souls and spirits are different.
You: How so?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Everything has Xiang. Everything has spirits but only humans have souls.
12:
You are still confused, choose to ask something different: What is human?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Humans are the embodiments of gods.
You: Aren’t the other animals or plants also embodiments of gods as well?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: They all are.
You: Why is there a difference between advanced lives and primitive lives if they all are embodiments of gods?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Ants are the kings of their universe and the highest form of life in their point of view.
13:
You: But in our point of view, we humans can do many things the others cannot.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The maggots in the cesspit think so too.
14:
You: But the earth is ruled by humans isn’t it?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: As the design of Xuannv, no one is ruling anyone. Only the survival of the fittest to balance and improve the operation of the universe.
15:
You: This makes humans insignificant and it is discouraging.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: This thought indicates that you are starting to form the shape of a human.
You: Is the next level actually becoming human instead of just a shape?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: It is the awareness of time.
You: Don’t riddle me, please elaborate more.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Forming the shape makes you look like a human but still not. Being aware of the concept of time indicates the possession of Xiang. Only then when you are truly alive.
You: Are there any different levels after we become humans?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Of course, there are different levels between You and Satoshi Nakamoto, Satoshi Nakamoto and Elon Musk, Elon Musk and Jesus, Jesus and Xuannv.
16:
You: How am I comparable to these great figures when I only give birth to a few children?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The parents of Musk and Jesus all said the same.
17:
You: Most people cannot achieve greatness, just live their meaningless lives.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Ninety thousand years ago and nine billion years ago, so do the ancestors of President Trump.
You: Is there anything in a shorter time span?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Yes, ask your descendents to start a war right now. Xuannv would either help to speed up the reincarnations or improve their fighting capabilities. War kills many, which stimulates people to have more children as death lingers over everyone. It also forces people to be better at combat in order to survive. People are less concerned about carrying the family lines and survival in peacetime.
18:
You: Why is it always about war?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: This is how the universe works. If no one wants war, then it is time for Xuannv to purify everything and start over.
You: Just like a game, it is boring.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: This thought indicates you are aware of the concept of community.
You: The next level is the concept of country isn’t it?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: It is an alliance.
You are surprised.
19:
You: Are humans really needed in the universe?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Everything is needed.
You: Then why does Xuannv need to destroy earth when needed?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: When the purifying is not needed, everything is needed. When the purifying is needed, everything is not needed.
You: I prefer no destruction as I have so many descendants.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: In order to prevent the purification, tell your descendants to do what is necessary, destroy their rivals.
20:
You: Who are their rivals?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Whoever makes your descendants suffer.
You: For money, power, fame, there are too many rivals. What should they do?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: When Xuannv sets Xiang, she sets great Xiang for power, wealthy Xiang for money and safety Xiang for fame.
21:
You pointed at the lotus: Isn’t lotus mainly for Buddhism?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: This is the Lotus Crown in Taoism, not the Lotus Throne in Buddhism.
You: What is the Lotus Crown for?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: What you are doing right now, asking questions on the altar.
22:
You: Is earth the only planet with life?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Where there is procreation there is life, far beyond earth.
You: Born by who?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: By everything.
You: What is everything?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Xuannv.
You laughed: Everything is Xuannv.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: As she exists everywhere, from the universe to particles.
23:
You: Do particles have Xiang?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: As always.
You: What is your Xiang as the Holy Taoist Scripture?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: You are.
24:
You think for a long while, ask: Is it possible to modify Xiang for a human being?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: As Xuannv molds the skies and earths, everything can be modified.
You: Can you clarify?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Modification has a limit. Peach branches will never be corn, monkeys will never be humans, ants will never be crickets. Life is like a stone, it can be polished. Fortune is like a wind, it can be guided. This is how modification works.
25:
As The Holy Taoist Scripture mentioned monkeys, you ask: Why use the twelve zodiac animals as references?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Humans will not know who they are without references. The twelve zodiac animals have unique attributes to serve as references so humans can understand better regarding managing life and fortune.
You: Same as the twelve constellations?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: It has always been.
26:
You: Is stone alive?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The entire earth is alive, let alone the stones.
You: But stones do not move.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: You were never there when stones moved.
You: Do stones grow up?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Of course.
27:
You: Do stones die?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Same as humans, stones live and die.
You: Prove it.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: A stone is born when soil condenses and hardens and dies when it crumbles into sands.
28:
You have the enlightenment: So does water?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The five elements, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, live and die just like humans, only with a different form of expression.
29:
You: So does the meteorite in space?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Existence is life.
You: How do we distinguish between the “living things” and “non-living things”?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The “living things” in your opinion lives and dies faster. “Living things” and “non-living things” are all the same from the perspective of Xuannv.
30:
You: In practicality, what is the meaning of life for humans?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: To live.
You: Why?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: So that they can be rewarded with death.
You: What does that mean?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Death is the reward to free humans from the worst curse of the universe - live an eternity.
31:
You: Can you tell me what is the most meaningful thing to be alive?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: To meet.
You: Where?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: In bed.
32:
You laughed, nodding: Why are most human instincts driving by sex desires?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: So that reincarnation can start when humans are alive.
You smiled: They say you can only reincarnate after death.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Devil’s lie.
33:
You: How do you prove humans can reincarnate when they are alive?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Would you constantly care about children from a different family?
You: Of course not.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Whose blood or bone marrow are most compatible should you need them if you are sick?
You feel enlightenment once more: This is the meaning of reincarnation while alive.
34:
You: Many blame their biological families in the 21st century. Is that equivalent to blaming themselves?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Of course they are blaming themselves as they are the creation of evil.
You: How do they reincarnate to normal human beings?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: When their descendents start to blame them.
35:
You: Why does Xuannv commence everything to compete so cruelly when she sets Xiang?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The more cruel the competition, the better it helps Xuannv to modify the universe.
You: What is the meaning of the modification?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: So the universe can be stronger.
You: For what?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: To mold another universe.
36:
You are confused beyond comprehension: How to mold another universe when the universe is everything already?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: We have been through this, you are the universe of the cells in you, earth is your universe, the solar system is earth’s universe, the milky way galaxy is the solar system’s universe, so on and so forth.
37:
You: Has Xuannv been beyond the black holes?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: You have another enlightenment.
You: At least humans are one of the most elite forces of Xuannv?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The most elite force.
38:
You: There are gods beyond the black holes like Xuannv, aren’t they?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: You should ask the same question when you were still within your mother. Your mother created her universe for you.
39:
You: What about my father?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The penis. You have seen it when the conception happened.
You: What am I right now?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: A fertilized egg.
40:
You touched your face, ask: But I can feel my body.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: You are touching the egg, not your face.
You: So I have heard about Xuanmen Taoist sexual practice. Am I waiting for my father?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: No, you are waiting for Xuannv, the God of Nine Skies, and Sunv, the God of Nine Earths.
You: Why?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: They are reviewing how your spiritual cultivation has been so far.
41:
You: What happens if I do well? And what if I don’t?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: You become human when you do well and animal when you don’t.
You: Is human form always better?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Humans do not possess happiness but animals do.
42:
You: Don’t humans always seek happiness? Why do humans not possess it?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: You only seek what you don’t have.
43:
You: Can I reincarnate into wealthy families to enjoy happiness?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: There is a one in ten thousand chance that Xuannv will set such Xiang for you only if all of your descendants become extinct and you cultivate your spirit as a soul for three hundred years.
You: Maybe it is worth it if it means I can have happiness.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: To seek happiness.
44:
You: Does the child have two souls when the couple only have one child?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Just one.
You: Why?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Integration.
You: I don’t get it.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: As the child possesses both good and evil from both parents.
45:
You: If the couple have 10 children, there will be 10 souls, how does this integration work?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: This is wealth.
You: It does not make sense.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: There are ten levels of souls, level one is yourself, level two is community, level three is clan, level four is forefathers, level five is immortal, level six is ancestor, level seven and eight are Xuan and Miao, level nine and ten are the four supreme gods and ten guardian gods.
You: I have no idea what you are talking about.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Every child is different, with many children, we are bound to have those who are capable of many great achievements as well as those who favor evil deeds. It is wealth nevertheless.
46:
You: If there is one husband and three wives and thirty children, how would the soul of the father be distributed?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Xuannv will take care of it.
You: Would she make any mistakes?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: No, just like you wouldn’t mistake your fingers. However, there will always be some great Xiang among them regardless of good and evil.
47:
You: Would a couple reincarnate into animals?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: If one or both parties are not truly loving, allow even the slightest animality slip through, it will.
You: That is terrible. But doesn't everyone have animality?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Of course not.
You: There is alway people doing evil deeds like rapping, why not?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: That is worse than animals.
48:
You: What about the child resulted from the rape?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The child can be the son of the animals doing evil deeds or the child can choose to be better than the animal parents.
49:
You: How much differences are there among humans, animals and devils?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: They are all the same in terms of Xiang. They are distinguished by whether they do human deeds or not.
50:
You: Didn’t you say animals and devils are monsters? Now you say there is no difference?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The police are devils in thieves’ view.
You: There has to be a standard of right and wrong in a society.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: If there is one police and ninety nine thieves out of every hundred humans, who is right and who is wrong?
51:
You: This is the spiritual cultivation which opposes humans isn’t it?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: There are only devils opposed to gods, no animals opposed to humans.
You: You can be opposed to the gods of Xuanmen?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Of course. Otherwise you wouldn’t be able to fight wars when necessary.
52:
You: Circle back to the devils, they are also humans aren’t they?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: They are the humans who believe happiness exists in the human realm without the need of active pursuit.
You: Is that wrong?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Happiness does not have a specific shape as it is a process of pursuing.
53:
You: How do you know if you obtained happiness?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Basic happiness means to perform the responsible deeds well while advanced happiness means to conduct the most critical matters that affect humanity as a whole.
54:
You: Why do those with great Xiang have to accomplish critical matters that affect humanity as a whole?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: That is how they obtain happiness suitable for their great Xiang.
You: Give me an example.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Would Mike Tyson, the boxing legend, be happy when he is fighting Stephen Hawking, the disabled wheelchair genius, in the ring?
55:
You: What is a critical matter that affects humanity as a whole?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The matter that can impact thousands of families.
You: I can impact that many families by running a convenient store on a street.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: It is a critical matter when all the goods are produced directly. Otherwise it is just a symbiotic relationship.
56:
You: However, many people with normal Xiangs are also attempting critical matters.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Xuannv does not forbid them from participating.
You: Then why are people with great Xiang forced to accomplish critical matters?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The mission calls for those best suited.
57:
You: It is not fair to the ones who possess great Xiang as normal Xiang can do both normal and critical matters.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: There is no such thing as fairness. Dogs eat shit. Do you want to?
58:
You: Why does Xuannv design an unfair universe?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: To train and extract elites to confront other universes.
You: Why does she just set more elite Xiang?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Elites are trained and refined not by just setting Xiang.
59:
You: Make sense. Do you know what is going on in other universes?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: No, only guesses.
You: Christian says there is only one universe.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: In the point of view of Xuannv, Christian and Taoist are subuniverses when compared to the universe that includes everything.
60:
You: It is boring when we don’t know if we will be men or women when we reincarnate.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: You will be women when Xuannv need you to be on the offensive and men when on the defensive.
You: Shouldn’t it be the opposite as men are more offensive?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: You only see the surface. As we discussed before, most offensives in the human realm start because of women.
61:
You: It is too philosophized. When does spiritual cultivation end?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: When great humans in the history of this universe start to come into the scripture.
You: Like Mike Tyson coming to my scripture?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: That is an example.
You: I don’t think the scripture even teaches how the universe came into being from the beginning.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Universe came into existence the same way you do.
62:
You: Isn’t there any end in this universe worth exploring?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Xuannv doesn’t need to set Xiang if there are ends.
You: Is there anything wrong when there is always someone who wants to explore the mystery of this universe?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Someone from fifty billion years ago asked the same question. As a matter of fact, the end of the universe is right in front of you.
63:
You: I still don’t understand what Xiang is after all this.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: If there is an A, there will be a B. If there is no B, Xuannv will set a B. This is Xiang.
You: So it is still Xuannv’s work.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Not necessarily. For humans, finding the corresponding Xiang is the end.
64:
You: What should I do if some gods come and prove they created everything in this universe one day?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Just believe them.
You: That’s it?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Let Xuannv of the Nine Skies handle those complicated matters.
65:
You asked after a long while: Many gods say light is needed hence creating light and water is needed hence creating water. Is that true?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: You create what you need and so do gods.
66:
You: How do I benefit from all the answers you provided for the no-word scriptures?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: So that you can leverage the meaning of it after reincarnation.
You: I mean benefits.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: You will comprehend how great the earth is and fall in love with it.
67:
You: How can I fall in love with earth when there is always war started by humans?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Not started by humans. War is started by the gods who need to reincarnate as humans for training.
You: You mentioned it before. But isn’t that more suffering for humans?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Are you suffering right now?
68:
You: Alright, what is the greatest part of Xiang?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: To seek the corresponding other part and become wiser during the process.
You: Isn’t that determined by the god of Xiang? Why do we need to become wiser?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Xuannv is only responsible to set Xiang. After that, it is up to humans to explore, be better through trial and error and thus taking responsibilities to manage their lives.
69:
You: What is the value of Xiang if Xuannv isn’t responsible for managing it?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: That is why it is more valuable.
You: How so?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: If she sets and manages everything, you wouldn't have the desire nor chance to become gods.
70:
You: What are the benefits to become gods?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: You can conquer the dimensions.
You: What is the point?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: How hard is it for you to stomp an ant?
You paused for a second: Didn’t you mention that gods need humans to carry out their will?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Humans also need animalities to carry out their will from time to time.
71:
You: You mentioned devils and animals, what is animal referring to?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Similar to divinities, animalities are reflections of the souls when they have physical bodies.
You think this is absurd.
The Holy Taoist Scripture elaborates: There is no distinction among the expressions of divine nature, human nature, animalistic nature, and evil nature.
You: What about Xiang?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Divine nature corresponds to human nature whereas evil nature corresponds to animalistic nature.
You: What sets them apart.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Whether there is love involved.
72:
You: So the scripture is telling me that there are many universes and they exist both inside and outside the black holes independently.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: It has always been.
73:
You: What the scripture means is the universes are like Russian nesting dolls, one layer after another wihtout an end. Just like the human body is the universe of all the cells within, earth is the universe of humans, the solar system is the universe of earth, the milky galaxy is the universe of the solar system, and all black holes are forms of genitals.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: It has always been.
74:
You paused a long while before continuing: According to the scripture, no god created the universe, the universe has always been there.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: It has always been.
75:
You: So there is no Creator. Not even Xuannv.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The Creator is really referring to the nature workings of the universe.
You: What is the difference?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Creation is to make something out of nothing. The nature workings of the universe is more like energy transformation, turning something that is already there into something else.
You: Did humans misunderstood all the scriptures referring to creation?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: It has always been.
76:
You: So the nature workings of the universe is the conception of Xuan and Miao?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: It has always been for everything.
You: What about stones?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Other stones.
You don’t believe it.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Be aware of the dimension factor. You are still thinking in human’s dimension.
77:
You: Tell me about the big bang theory, the expansion and death from modern science's perspective.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Everything in the universe, including the universes themselves, live and die everyday. Modern science only has theories without any proof.
You: Can you elaborate more?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The conception of a sperm and an egg is the big bang, the expansion is growing into a human, human grows up and eventually dies.
78:
You: The scientists at least provide us theoretical ways to prove it right?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: As long as you have never been to the ancient time or other planets, everything is just a guess.
You: How do you prove what you said is true?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: I never told you whether what I said is true or not. It is always about realizing the importance of the dimension.
79:
You: So Xiang is like making stickers, 2or setting attributes for everything isn’t it?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: No, setting a Xiang is to rationalize.
You: Isn’t that an attribute?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Attribute is the existence itself. Xiang explains the necessity of its existence.
80:
You: I feel lost after so many conversations regarding the start of the universe and still unable to identify who created the universe.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: The answer is right in the beginning, everything comes from Xuan and Miao. All gods are from Xiang, come into being as the nature workings of the universe.
You: It is always about procreation, never ending.
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Never ending cycle that continues is why reincarnation is invaluable.
81:
You: Then what is the point of worshipping gods?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: Because gods’ will are exhibited through the followers' contribution.
You: So does Xuannv of the Nine Skies?
The Holy Taoist Scripture: It has always been. Gods are always watching.
