Halloween and Christmas
I illustrate the combined meaning of Halloween as a Christian holiday and the way it anticipates heaven.
Eternal Prelude continues perpetually with the beginning of Eternal Halloween updates: βHauntlyre played the Pumpkin Song to bring Halloween along with it, and the festivities devastated rotting heavens.β
Halloween upholds the lives of the Saints in a way that is intentionally curious. It was only recently that the celebrations developed to provide necessary contrast. This arrangement does things like provide a glimpse into the meaning of their existence in the heavenly grave.
When the Protestants protested Halloween and accused the Catholic Church on its basis, they were giving away the true structure of their religion. They did their best to avoid it being accurately conceptualized, which was a predecessor of queer culture.



The structure is based around defiance towards valuing life for its own sake - despite the names of those who receive salvation being written in the Book of βLifeβ. They spiritually believe that life would be so much easier, simple, selfishly appealing, and so forth if people simply focused on God for eternity without concern for anything else. But I don't like the idea of people staring at me all the time. If this idea was actually true, people who experience stage fright can't possibly be made in the image of God. Such facts are spiritual evidence to guide spiritual life, so that we know there is a significance to stage fright and many other such things that are curiosities of some humans. Of course, when I was a kid not liking to be on a stage made me βautisticβ and like a freak. The music in the auditorium was overwhelming because it lacked contextualization from friends I didn't have, and for other such reasons.


But there is a complexity that I am myself an entertainer, which implies that I will take people's attention at least sometimes. (The existence of the internet is another way of doing away with this confusion, as people were meant to exist with such things) but I'm a specific brand of entertainer associated with horror. Imagine if a monster was real and I was standing on the stage and it was behind me. People wouldn't want to be staring at me then. They would be looking away and trying to enjoy the fear of the show calmly. In fact this is the sort of behavior I have modeled all my life by avoiding looking at people and doing things like that, but in Protestant American society that was treated like a crime and the sentence was being βdisabled,β even if I could explain everything if they actually wanted to know.

There was a few options here. I could pretend to be retarded, or I could drop out of society as I did (which allowed me to be guided by Ran Prieur who spoke clearly about where to find the trickster in life; such a fact of my path through life shows there were those waiting for the exceptionally hard choice), or I could ruin my personality and identity and join Society as a lifeless wage slave. Back in that time people got gratification from belittling those who took the third choice to express their anxiety about the existence of halloween, real cosmic horror, and other things. They wanted the people who literally did what they wanted to be the targets of showing the horror of their life (even if it was just a few jokes to them or sniping remarks to a friend⦠but the internet removes that insulation from them and their target, as if God is telling them something) which shows that their priorities were not lasting eternal priorities, they were selfish priorities. Purgatory immediately refutes their priorities as we can expect it to be a place of much horror. After all the people there want to be with God, but their sin has made it impossible until it is purged. Throughout the process an abundance of horror grows, and this pays fealty to the trickster for how his presence in God's design was abused. Purgatory forms a threshold between two spiritual dimensions which allows for repair of the heavens. The Bible speaks of heavens passing away too, as in the course of unseen heavenly events they were broken, and for other reasons. The forces of evil sought to destroy sacred things, and they did not succeed but the devastation remains. And so, things like looking out at that devastation in a purgatorial vision helps progress a soul towards the condition of Heaven.
Of course my webcomic is one tool for this process, when things enter the end times and it becomes more like I saw in my spiritual visions.

And so when Protestants and I guess some weak Catholics complained about spooky celebrations of Halloween as βof the devilβ, they were not referring to the evil of this world. They were referring to the Cosmic darkness grafted to creation and spiritual life in various ways. This darkness, although in a way foreign to God, people have been designed to eternally engage with. It is a challenge of an individual human's character to engage well with it, as their good qualities are not an innate creation. What is admirable about a human comes from things like learning to accept the darker side of life, and the individual stories of such acceptance. This is why Satan does nothing important besides some temporary purposes, as of course God was already smart enough to give people the opportunity to prove themselves, and it is useful to go beyond his world for this.

And so it can be expected even if people had never sinned there could still be those who had a foul relationship with the cosmic darkness, as sin is directed against God. But their species is supposed to relate to it, to develop the other, natural darkness created by God's light. And so this can diminish heaven for eternity. They can't blame anybody but themselves however. And so Protestantism and other things comes from the revenge fantasy of being βimpoverishedβ by God's relationship with his Cosmic friend, and so they hate friendship too. When this motivation causes them to defy his church, this turns into sin, and potentially a more severe Hell, which is nestled in that Cosmic darkness.

This explains things like why people resisted the fact that not all of the torments of hell are equal, out of βrespectβ for Protestantism. Their plan is to protest, as if God's designs can be overturned with democracy. This is not so stupid as it would seem, since the spiritual power of a human can potentially extend to things like causing cosmic devastation, and because of people like protestants such facts were hidden, even though Cosmic Marvel and DC posed such good illustrations that it was true, like the Phoenix saga.

Ceaseless political conflict is intuitively idiotic to my eyes, and enjoying Halloween instead is just common sense. Even if I was a politician, I would not be so political as a typical person these days. But, their blindness to my common sense is a punishment for seeking to cause devastation in the heavens where things are not so transient. Just as true American Protestants sought to send a protest straight into the heavens by spiting things like Cosmic Marvel and DC (which begins my webcomic proper), this causes damage that is largely indiscriminate like people suffering under political leaders. But there is some room through mindfulness to escape this collective punishment like by seeing how pointless and stupid politics is.

And so this arises resentment and rage from those who are incapable, including by the intentional action of the Holy Spirit. Part of the horror is about how some are already going through purgatory, especially when they refuse to acknowledge the value of the eschatological setting. And so their children correctly saw the hatefulness of people like neocons, but without the guidance of the Holy Spirit they were incapable of acknowledging and responding to the real motivations, and went down the path of their own errors.

Halloween is a celebration of the significance of life, and the βsecularβ meaning (which can be called the normal meaning instead) is a mere extension of this. People cannot enjoy the gifts of Life In Christ yet as it brings horror to the guilty. Either they are resentful and pained about that past, or they are personally affected by people who are. If people would see the Saints returned today, many of them would be overcome by horror at their uplifted identities and their opinions of the Earth and what is taking place in their lives, as my webcomic will show. Indeed, my identity which is enswathed in cosmic horror is representative for those Saints for whom the horror they inspire in those who need to be purged is more abstract and arcane and so forth.
And so to dress up like Captain America is itself a part of the horror theme of Halloween because in heaven some people are like him, but sin prevents the heavenliness from being felt. In large part this celebration is a process of acclimation, a process which needs to be defended by Heaven against malefactors upon the Earth, and so here is Hauntlyre.

This autoplayed as I was finishing this article, which can be considered the gift for this year's Halloween.
