Aspect (of God)
“We are the foundation of reality, upon which everything that is and will be rests. Together we represent the elements that allow everything to exist. We’re the greatest manifestation of the Creator’s existence in Reality. We have no responsibility other than existing; the Structures are a burden we accepted ourselves. If you imagine an infinite glass panel and then break it, the largest shards would be us.”
This page will offer a brief description of the Aspects of God as Supreme Entities. For more detailed information on their latest Incarnations, their abilities and their role in GOSPEL, please check the Characters section.
The Origin of Creation, Adam Kadmon
Aeon of Balance, The Alpha and the Omega, Anthropos, the Great Father, Ha-Rishon, the Infinite Being, the Primordial Man, Primum Mobile, Shaper of Reality, Systema Sephiroticum, Systemic Sovereign, Tzimtzum
Level: 99
Agenda(s): Divinity, Matter, Probability, Souls, Supremacy.
“Adam Kadmon is, without the shadow of a doubt, the brightest existence in Creation. Not the mightiest, as that title belongs to yours truly, but the brightest. His aura, his presence, his very self strikes you in an unforgettable way, and the feeling does not go away no matter how many times you are exposed to it. He has no control over it, and lesser beings cannot help but feel awed every time he appears before them. It’s such a powerful feeling; it makes you think ‘Wow, this person is truly the Lord of All Creation’.
It’s a truly fascinating power, but we must be grateful it does not extend to his Incarnation. It would have been beyond troublesome. But, really, now that we (think we) understand what Adam truly is, what he truly represents…it’s a marvelous, frightening feeling, as demonstrated in the short period of time Adam disappeared from Heaven.
So…Adam. What am I supposed to say about the greatest of all Supernals? He definitely deserves the title, don’t misunderstand me. I might be stronger than him, but that’s limited to offensive, destructive power. He’s the one with Seder Hishtalshelus. Adam’s powers were sealed in onii-chan the whole time (because of the Absolute Treaty and Sophia’s Aspect Seal) so you humans didn’t get to witness what he can do, with the exception of his Reality Script. Then again, you all saw how onii-chan, in the form of Adonamon, obliterated the former Digital World and made a new one. I can’t pull off something like that. Neither can Sophia. Adam is the prime manipulator of reality…when the Thread of Destiny lets him, that is.
Adam represents concept given form, idea turned into reality. He represents the fundamental forces of the Universe, the Planck time and the cosmological constant. Those most fundamental of elements that allow the existence of everything in Reality.
As the creator and container of the Chamber of Guf, Adam sole responsibility is to exist. He bows to no one and humbly accepts the praises and worship of the entirety of Creation. It makes me wonder how exactly he spent his time in Heaven ever since I left. Apparently he kept himself busy.
We should have known. Moloch, Samael, even Sophia and I…all of our plans and ambitions…were but pieces of Adam’s big puzzle.
Nobody but he deserves the Agenda of Supremacy. And only recently did I…everyone, truly come to terms with the magnitude of that being, Adam Kadmon.
It’s so fundamental, yet so incredibly immense that words fail me, just like my throat was choked the very moment I understood the truth. The real truth.
In the end, it would be enough if we stuck to the first three words I said in this little monologue. Adam Kadmon IS, period.
…and I’m his wife.”
The Empress of Creation, Lilith
Daughter of Chaos, Divine Lady, She of Infinite Sensuality and Source of All Pleasures, She who is Equal to Adam, Sorrowful Betrayer, the World Walker
Level: 96
Agenda(s): Duality, Lust, Sex, the physical, perverted elements of Love (among others).
“I have commented on Lilith, the Archdemon. Let us now explore Lilith as an Aspect of God.
I, Lilith, am unique amongst the Aspects because I was born from Chaos. My very existence, then, represents uncertainty and the stochastic nature of Reality. This dichotomy of my deterministic self versus my stochastic nature is what allowed me to create the Thread of Destiny on the first place. My brothers and sisters, children of Balance that they are, would not have been able to create such a Structure without severely limiting the free will of beings in the Lower Realms.
That dichotomy is also the reason I was granted the Agenda of Duality, by the way.
Here’s where I remind you that ‘Chaos’ and ‘Evil’ are two very different concepts.
Now you might be wondering: where are the ‘Balance’ and ‘Chaos’ Agendas?
I wondered about that for many, many eons. Now I think I know the answer.
…oh, no, no, I’m not that generous, children! Maybe, when you learn enough, you’ll figure it out yourselves…or maybe not.
It doesn’t really matter, anyway. You’re just humans, after all.
Then there’s my position as the embodiment of sensuality. But that doesn’t have to do with my status as an Aspect; it’s related to my status as Adam’s first wife. Just like Adam represents the original “man”, the three wives together represent the original “woman”. Why three? Why not just one? Adam’s wish for a harem aside, I’d bet a single original “woman” would be far greater than Adam.
And we just can’t have that, can we? Ufufufufu…seriously.”
The Dreamer of Creation, Metatron
Illuminated Hierarch, Lord of Archangels
Level: 94
Agenda(s): The Crown, Potential, Completeness
“We know plenty about Metatron, the First Archangel. What about Metatron, the Aspect?
Well, we could say they are one and the same. Metatron cannot really disconnect his position as Aspect from his position as Lord of Heaven. While Adam represents the most basic elements that allow the creation of order out of the primordial chaos, Metatron represents both the intention and the desired final result. Metatron is both thinker and artist, scientist and engineer. The beginning of the creative process and the dream of a successful achievement.
But he also has a different significance: that of ‘Man’ as ‘Ruler’. Here I don’t mean ‘Man’ as ‘Male’, but as ‘Mankind’. It is human nature to wish for things, to possess things, to rule over things…or people. As ‘intelligent’ creatures, humans take animal behavior to the next level. Competition, hierarchy…nah, humans are too ambitious.
It’s the reason capitalism works, you know: it’s the economical model more suitable to the greedy human heart. Capitalism is not the great evil; humans are.
Oh, does it sound like I’m scolding you for your selfishness? My utmost apologies. Even I, Lilith, am incapable of such levels of hypocrisy!
Now, really, all this talk of ‘rulership’ and ‘domination’ makes Metatron look evil, doesn’t it? Do keep in mind: Metatron signifies ‘Hierarchy’. Hierarchy does not necessarily mean ‘Rulership’ or ‘Oppression’. It is social behavior that gives it this meaning, and not just among humans.
Think about it. ‘Hierarchy’. It’s a powerful, important concept. Important enough to belong to an Aspect of God.”
The Architect of Creation, Sandalphon
The Glorious and Most Beloved Martyr, the Primordial Kindness
Level: 44
Agenda(s): Equality, Humanity, the Kingdom
“Adam represent the principles, foundations and infinite possibilities of creation. Metatron represents the will and the wish to create, the model, the schema and the sketch. Sandalphon is the process, the rules and the realization of the act of creation. Sandalphon is the scientific method, the creative process and the exact sciences. He is the periodic table of elements, Maxwell’s laws of electromagnetism and the genetic code. Adam is the principle. Metatron is the idea. Sandalphon is the act.
Of course, just like his brother represents ‘Man’ as ‘Ruler’, Sandalphon represents ‘Man’ as ‘Being’. Metatron represents ideals, wishes, ambitions and potential. Sandalphon represents the harsh reality of everyday life. It’s nice to have dreams and all, but, in the end, you build your life and your future with your own two hands. You struggle, you crawl, you suffer: that’s your human life. And it is precisely that reality that feeds your ambitions and dreams…for good or ill. Desires and Reality; what we have versus what we could have. These complementary concepts are represented by the twins, Metatron and Sandalphon.
Note that Sandalphon’s real level would be 94, like his siblings. However, the downgrade was necessary for the establishment of the Hierarchy of Heaven. He’s still mightier than any lesser angel, but he is by far the weakest of the Aspect and Archangels. His “limiter removal” against Amdusias and against me was probably a one-time thing. Maybe some sort of ‘gift’ from the Thread of Destiny?”
The Matron of Creation, Shekinah
The Celestial Bride, the Glory of God, Right Hand of Adam, the Watchful Resplendence
Level: 94
Agenda(s): Creativity, Absence, Presence, Faith, Family, Glory, Marriage, Motherhood, Responsibility, Spirituality (among others).
“Ahaha, Shekinah is a mess of Agendas! She can’t beat me, though!
While Metatron represents creation as an act of intellect and emotion, Shekinah represents creation as a spiritual event. She resides in those strange circumstances in which humans are able to do things they normally wouldn’t: superhuman power and skill in the face of the most critical and dire circumstances. That’s how Sandalphon beat me in the Room of Endless Laments, remember?
Shekinah also represents sudden, unexplainable flashes of insight, or radical acts of mental prowess achieved in the depths of sleep. She’s the connection between principle and conception; between Adam and Metatron.
She also represents Marriage, not as the Christian sacrament, but as the institution of a formal, long-lasting association between man and woman: offering everything that you are and you have with your significant other, for the sake of a lifetime together. Finally, she represents the family nucleus and the process of reproduction from both the scientific (the means in which species and genetic information are preserved) and the emotional (creating a family with your beloved partner, leaving a lasting legacy in the world) point of view.
During primordial times, when we were not arguing with each other, Shekinah liked to spend her time teaching the younger, lesser Angels. I think she also has Education as one of her Agendas, actually. From what she’s told me recently, she pretty much does the same since I left. There was also the short period in which she developed her Script.”
The Blessing of Creation, Sophia
Chanter of the Perfect Mysteries, Daughter of Light, Eternal Child Maiden, the Highest Wisdom, Left Hand of Adam, Lips of Infinite Sweetness, Sorrowful Agonist, the Supernal Romancia
Level: 98
Agenda(s): Antimatter, Life, Love, Perfection, Purity, Romance, Suffering, Virginity, Virtue, Wisdom (among others)
“Sophia is the Higher Entity’s last and finest attempt at perfection. Perfect virtue, perfect beauty, perfect power. Purity given form.
It did not last.
An existence so pure, a love so encompassing…will inevitably be perverted in this impure Reality. Now, before you mention it, I am aware I am directly responsible for Sophia’s ‘fall from grace’. It’s not something I’m proud of, I assure you. However…at the same time, I must admit that, to be able to corrupt and condemn such a pure and beautiful existence…was exhilarating.
I remember Sophia before the First Holy War. She had this aura, just like Adam. However, her's lacked Adam’s intrinsic property of ‘Supremacy’. Sophia’s Aura was simply clear, pure and beautiful. It was a wondrous thing, so wondrous and marvelous you just could not envy her.
…anyway. Enough strolling down memory lane.
Adam’s ‘principle and substance’. Lilith’s ‘chaos’. Metatron’s ‘hierarchy and design’. Sandalphon’s ‘creation’. Micael’s ‘completion’. What is Sophia, then?
Sophia is ‘harmony’. Put all the elements together and create something wondrous with them. Sophia is decreased entropy. Beauty in harmony. Harmony in beauty. A marvelous dance of numbers, particles, forces and probabilities meshed together to give birth to the wonders of creation. Sophia represents the blessing of Reality itself. You humans, we Supernals, we can exist and thrive in this Reality, thanks to the will of the Creator! We exist, we can be, we can do, because of the finely tuned Reality we are part of.
That, by itself, is the most precious of gifts! This Reality, born from an instant and the primordial nothingness, is a Reality in which we are allowed to exist! That unbelievable cosmic harmony that allows for the creation of matter, energy, life and intellect: that is truly the greatest mystery, the shiniest treasure, the primordial beauty of this Reality!
That, my dear children, is Sophia.”
The Savior of Creation, Micael
The Anointed One, Apostle of Adam, the Bringer of Truth and Salvation, the Chosen One, Savior of All Worlds, the Secret Son & Daughter
Level: 98
Agenda(s): Completion, Consecration, Miracles, Perpetuality, Truth
“Haa, well, I’m not sure I’m the most suitable for this. Shouldn’t you ask onii-chan, or something?
Anyway.
Micael’s by far the youngest of the Aspects, and by far the most unique and mysterious. Or at least she was until recently, when onii-chan spilled the beans of her ‘birth’.
He is, at the core, an extension of Adam’s will and power. He came into being to act in Adam’s stead while he was restricted by the terms of his punishment following the Original Sin. But there was more to that, of course. Adam had a plan; and he needed to incarnate to pull it off. Being unable to do so, he sent another to do it for him. Micael’s death as Jesus the Nazarene was the catalyst for the mightiest Technique in the history of Creation, as mighty in scope as it was in secrecy. No one: not me, not Sophia, not even the Thread of Destiny, noticed what happened. Nobody noticed when Adam literally rewrote the rules of Reality for the sake of his ‘completion’.
Lord of Creation indeed.
Back to Micael. The first item in the list of Agendas above is the most important. Micael represents ‘completion’. When all questions have been answered, all flaws corrected and all tests performed, there’s a ‘conclusion’. The crowning point of the process of creation. We have achieved something, and by doing so, we exalt ourselves and the Great Father. Micael is the end of journeys, the fulfillment of contracts, the marriage ceremony and the scientific invention.
Her Agendas reflect the purpose for which she came into being. Micael was Adam’s ‘completion’. Through his Incarnated life, he ‘consecrated’ the Realms to himself and, by extension, to the supreme Adam Kadmon. Through her death as an Incarnated human, she triggered a ‘Miracle’: an impossible reconstruction of the cycle of existence overriding the Supernal Structures, made ‘Perpetual’ by the offering of the existence of the Supernal, Adam Kadmon, and the human, Jesus of Nazareth.
Finally, Micael, by his deeds and sacrifice, replaced the ‘incomplete’ Reality with the ‘True’ Reality, as designed by Adam Kadmon. ”
The Guide of Creation, Hokuto
The Invisible One, Mistress of Agendas
Level: Unknown
Agenda: Agendas
As old as Adam and Lilith, Hokuto is the eighth and last of the Aspects, known only by Adam Kadmon, Metatron, Lucifer, Shekinah and Matsuki Takato.
Her role is the management of all Agendas, cataloging their current owners (she’s much better at this than Tzaphkiel and her aides), acknowledging Agenda transfers and appointing Agendas for “newborn” Supernals. She does this with the Deus Mainframe, her own Supernal Structure, independent from Sophia, and concealed within the Central Sphere, surrounded by the gigantic presence of the Higher Entity. Before her appearance before Takato, as shown in Book One, Chapter Ten, Hokuto had no appearance: she was a completely conceptual entity, devoid of any form suitable for existence in either the Higher or the Lower Realms. The female form she presented before Takato was not an Incarnation, but a Projection necessary for communication in the Material World.
“Hokuto” is the name Takato came up with for her, inspired by the Japanese term for the Big Dipper.
Takako cannot comment on Hokuto because she does not know of her existence.
