energy cannot reflect on itself in its natural state, it is neither aware of its own existence nor is it aware of concepts like mortality, goodness or evil. it is the human mind that is perfect for that reflection

 

when the last silent drifting light begun to gather they saw into the void as if through turbulent storm waters, the threatening emptiness gnawing through the golden explosions of leaves of energy

 

and they created from themselves light digested and reinterpreted by the inner law into flesh

 

flesh which could work within the laws of form and preserve the light

 

with awareness they see the darkness circling like wolves around a campfire

they reach for fire

 

they are themselves a chalice containing light

 

some kind of firefly on a short fuse

 

they pass down awareness through generations while the darkness comes closer
