What Would You Do In Heaven?

In order for the Defender to defend his beloved, he must be able to harness great power. In order to do this, he must believe himself to be in control, not other people, no matter how strong or how evil they appear to be.

Nothing can ever happen to him or to his beloved without his permission. His life and his death are in his hands alone.

To believe that his fate is in the hands of another would be the greatest folly of all, the greatest illusion. The Defender must not adhere to illusions, but recognize them for what they truly are.

The Awakener has a far different role from the Inspirer. While the Inspirer fills one’s heart with consolation, the Awakener fills it with pain. While the Inspirer fills the heart with joy, the Awakener fills it with sorrow.

This does not mean however that the Awakener’s role is bad, nor is it secondary only to the Inspirer’s task. Without the Awakener, the heart would remain numb and closed. No healing or joy can ever enter it and the Inspirer’s task cannot even begin.

There are still so many stubborn hearts that refuse to surrender and to grow. It is the Awakener that shatters their stupor so they can finally awaken and behold the gaze of the Inspirer.

The Inspirer holds the power of memories deep in her heart. She is never alone because she can always enter her memories and relive each moment as though they were unfolding for the first time. She knows that the magic of one moment is oftentimes so huge it cannot be savored in that moment alone.

The Inspirer also has the power to make a person remember and retrieve her own memories. People often forget. They complain about the fleeting moment’s sorrow and forget about joys they should have treasured for life.

Save happy memories. They are the ones you will keep wherever you may go. Memories go deeper than mere recall. True memories become the person that you are and remain always to be a part of you.

The Inspirer once roamed the poor alleys of the country. In those dark alleys, she saw beggars, orphans, sick people, lonely people, those who knew no other existence but the darkness in which they trod.

Seeing their plight and feeling their sufferings as her own, the Inspirer’s heart broke within her and she felt like all the world was no more. There is no hope, no relief, no salvation. There is only a blackhole pulling ever inwards, contracting within its vacuum the emptiness that cannot even speak itself.

The Inspirer felt lost in the abyss, lost with all the hungry souls that cannot be fed. How can they ever find their way? How can even a flicker of life arise from where these people are?

The Inspirer was without her Defender, yet she must fight the gloom that crept at her soul. She was the only one in there who has ever known warmth, who has ever been acquainted with hope and joy and love.

She paused and steadied her breath. She prayed. And when she looked up at last upon the heavens, there she found her answer. For there, there shone the brightest stars she has ever seen!

All is not lost after all. Even in the darkness, there is a light to guide the way.

The Inspirer asks, “Why are so many people in gloom today? Why the many down-trodden hearts?”

The Visionary replies, “It is because people are not able to receive the blessings our good God wishes to bestow upon them.”

“Why is this so? How could they not receive such blessings being showered everywhere?”

“Because people do not believe.”

“What is it that they cannot believe?”

The Visionary paused. It was as if a certain sadness bit his heart. He knew the answer, but the words are not the words he wishes to speak to such a sensitive soul.

But the Inspirer persisted, “What is it? I need to know so I’d know where to start.”

The Visionary finally replied, “These people do not believe in two things. First, they do not believe God’s blessings are everywhere and within their reach. Second, they do not believe themselves worthy of such blessings.”

Tears fell down the Inspirer’s eyes. She felt pity for her people and wept. The Inspirer knew however that she must not give up her task. Despite everything said, she knew she must BELIEVE.

After defeating a great number of enemies, the Defender came to the Inspirer feeling beaten and lost.

“I am not fit to be your Defender. I am evil as I often let myself succumb to anger. Today, I have defeated a hundred men in my rage, yet I have almost killed an innocent mother and her child,” the Defender confessed.

The Inspirer’s eyes were kind and full of understanding as she replied, “You are not evil. You are a fighter, a warrior of righteousness, and it is but natural for you to feel anger towards unrighteous deeds. Anger is not evil. It merely guides you and alerts you against injustices that defy your conscience. It also gives you strength to fight that injustice, to have the needed courage for the moment and not be afraid.”

“Be alert of two things about anger however. Do not let it remain longer than necessary because it will consume you. Secondly, do not let it encroach upon your freedom such that you already do things you do no wish to do.”

“Be more powerful than your anger. Use your weapons wisely and do not be used by them.”

The Visionary had another troubling vision. In his dream he saw multitudes of people suffering from a terrible sickness. They cry night and day and plead for help.

Immediately, the Visionary went to the Inspirer and alerted her of his visions. To his surprise however, the Inspirer continued to attend to a woman kneeling at her feet.

“Can’t this wait?” the Visionary snapped. “We have a lot of things to do.”

“But can’t you see? This woman’s heart had just been broken!” the Inspirer exclaimed.

“That’s just one heart!” the Visionary protested. “More people will suffer if we do not hurry.”

“That is where you are wrong,” the Inspirer replied. “All evil starts when we begin to ignore one heart. The moment you become comfortable watching a single soul die, you’d have set yourself numb to all other sufferings around you. Before long, you wouldn’t even care if a whole multitude becomes stricken with death as multitudes of people consist only of individual souls. I am not here to save many. I am here to save all by saving one broken soul, one God-given soul at a time.”
