Paradise Lost - The Die Is Cast
Good morning, I am in mourning. No sympathy, no funeral hearse, no funeral party, tonight in flames precipitating the gradual disintegration of the Banana Republic of Nicaragua. My Paradise was Lost.
Time to cry, time to cry, time to cry …
Paradise Lost is the biblical tale of the Fall of Mankind – the moment when Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, and God banished them from the Garden of Eden forever.
Time to cry, time to cry, time to cry …
Conveying my personal purpose in touching on this emotionally epic theme drowning me in shoreless oceans of pain where my hands and feet fail is designed to test my faith, as well as yours, if we have any, in dire straits or a straitjacket. A mundane muse is spiritually unleashed upon us, you and me, taking no prisoners, having no mercy, releasing the stifled and stifling, setting us free as we face the hard truth, see the light in the dark, with nothing left to lose, because all was already lost, how we got here!

I am not Caesar crossing the Rubicon River, but the die is cast in the wilderness devoured by the ever-so-oozing lava from the Gates of Hell, the Masaya Volcano´s crater. Putting it all down, my painful stream of consciousness, means that I still have some ability to go off-road with confidence, carrying my heavy cross ever since 2010 AD.
Conclusive action has been taken, so events will proceed in an irreversible manner; the point of no return has been passed; the future is determined; there are no more options.
I am the Death dealer because wherever I come, eyes, drums, and heads roll. Additionally, jaws crack, and even balls drop, whoops, pretty disgusting, sorry, guys!
“Better to reign in Hell, than to serve in Heaven.”
“The battles between the faithful angels and Satan's forces take place over three days. At the final battle, the Son of God single-handedly defeats the entire legion of angelic rebels and banishes them from Heaven. However heroic and noteworthy in certain ways, the irony is they lost the war in Heaven. Following this purge, God creates the World, culminating in His creation of Adam and Eve.”
So here we are, Adam and Evil. I did not choose to live with it, Adam did. He preferred to live that way with Eve rather than to live forever without her. So in some ways, it was a touching love story. Satan, constantly attacking me, is the protagonist or hero of this moronic story because he struggles to overcome his doubts and weaknesses preying on me. He accomplished his goal of corrupting humankind, he ruined my life, he killed me. Satan's character has been treated with great sympathy and great dramatic power. He has strong determination.
I am an imparadised allegory for a fallen faith in God. I am one of the most dynamic and complicated characters in all of literature. I am an endless-act tragedy. I do not believe that Satan's influence helps me to live the life I want to live, he wants to ruin me even further, he wants to kill me better, but I, siding with Jesus, screw him.
I am attempting to present God here accurately, such an unimaginable character or entity, an omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent Everything who knows everything before it happens. I do not know what will happen, but I do know what is happening, nothing, except my woe.
Persecuted, amidst the freezing flames, I try to follow Jesus. Christ is the true hero of my “Paradise Lost - The Die Is Cast”, as He shows everything that Satan cannot. When He is needed by God, He steps up voluntarily and acts as an instrument of salvation for humanity no matter what. Therefore I am saved. Not because I am told so, but because I believe it, I own it, I choose to believe. I believe God guides me in my journey of faith through life, through all strife, accomplishing His purpose in me. God's mission is to save people and shape them to be more like Jesus.
If you think I am not more like Jesus, then think again.
The purpose or theme of my “Paradise Lost - The Die Is Cast” is religious and has three parts connected to my idyllic photography:
1) Disobedience
2) Eternal Providence
3) Justification of God to me
Disobedience results in sin, and sin results in death. Death is alive in the world, but the Son of God steps forward with the offer to sacrifice Himself to Death so that we have strength to go on when we do not have it, which is my particular case.
I present the reader with eternal providence and free will as being part and parcel of each other, neither constrains the other. The providence being described here is the knowledge of good and evil. I preach what I do, I do not do what I am preached, at least not all of it. And however further and further my mind spirals downward, I manage to realize the scope of God’s power, how rewarded by God’s grace I still am, breathing, having His message delivered, despite my weird style, through this “Paradise Lost - The Die Is Cast”.
God allows suffering in order for a greater good of the human race to exist. Good will come of sin and death, and humankind will eventually be rewarded. I keep the faith. God has chosen me to try to explain God’s reasoning and His ultimate plan, though sometimes, only sometimes, I do not understand it myself.
Luke 17:6 “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.”
Here Jesus teaches that even the smallest amount of faith can accomplish miraculous things. I do not know about any of you out there, but I certainly desire this faith!
So, Satan, you feccin´traitor, you leading conspirator, with my last stigmata gasp, stabbed, double-crossed, I Caesar bless you, “to Hell with you, too”, where you belong!
To which he proudly responds Brutus, “I love the name of honor more than I fear death.”
I know, the only thing I agree on, I a soldier of Christ in the first row, a wounded gladiator, fight with honor no matter cannon fodder, that is why I bless you, not curse you, “to Hell with you, too”, where you belong! See, Jesus has taught me, I must have learned something …. life is not a word, it is a sentence, merely breathing is a blessing, the rest is damnation!
The sentence offers two moral paths that one can take after disobedience: the downward spiral of increasing sin and degradation, represented by Satan, and the road to redemption, represented by Adam and Eve, Evil.
The life lesson I have always drawn from my “Paradise Lost - The Die Is Cast” is to first seek an environment where you can be true to yourself, and in which you can be the best you possible. Home, sweet home. Hell, sweet Hell. Home is where the heart is even if that home is in Hell. In other words, choose the environment before you choose the role.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time you fall.
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
If life were predictable, it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.
