The prophet William Pierce wrote in Living Things (1979) that man is not a spectator on this evolutionary process but a “participant.” That is he is an actor on the stage of eternity and one with agency. And indeed not only is man an agent in the universe, he is the agent in the universe, the one and only, the one without whom the universe cannot achieve its destiny. This destiny is of course the final disclosure and the revelation of the creator’s purpose, the purpose which is, according to Pierce, “the self-realization of the creator, the self-completion of the self-created.”
That is the creator is using us to achieve its aim which is to show itself to us and to thus finally merge itself with us. This is as far as far can be from the notion of a “savior god” that descends from the sky to become incarnate flesh or emerges from the clouds to save the day in the nick of time. Indeed, in reality the reality is the reverse, that is the opposite is apposite: that the creator needs us in order to self-actualize. Though closer to the truth is that the relation of ourselves to our creator is an equally reciprocal one in which the one needs the other as much as the other needs the one, that both are only partial without the working together of both. The final feast of the gods will be a joint effort, a joining of hands in Valhalla.
In order to achieve this perfect state of reality, to complete the purpose of the creator, we must become activated. To do this is to learn how the creator operates, and what his plan is for the world. Once one has seen between the creator’s lines one will no longer see this as merely doing magic with words, but the serious working out of the plan.
For language is not only alive it is the living voice of the creator, and one must attend the words and listen to them and interpret them properly. For if language is alive we are not yet, not yet wholly and not yet holy. For to divine is to understand and to be divine is to finally understand, to understand the creator and its creation in its completeness. That is we will then become real, we will realize (have real eyes), we will have become the self-created creator having created ourselves, we will become the one who creates, the one who makes, the one who wills, having finally learned the last lesson: that only those who work eat, and you don’t get what you pray for but what you pay for. For dead things float downstream but the living ones we swim forever upward against the current, working and making our way to the sunny uplands which is our home.
