The Painful Truth
Be the erotic ecstasy of pain, suffering, and death, a gift of total freedom, the results of a perfected system, or perhaps both.

The limitless light of the acausal, and its' transformation, results in creation, formation, and materialization.

The Need For Speed
If not for the speed of light, then the material would be equivalent to its' energy; reminiscent of how a fan blade will seemingly transform to a solid given sufficient spin - approaching a solid via velocity.

“It must be a strange world not being a scientist, going through life not knowing - or maybe not caring - about where the air came from, and where the stars at night came from, or how far they are from us. I want to know.”

The Aethyrs
What Einstein referred as illusion, I have come to understand as the aethyrs of existence. An expansion of spacetime from nothing, which has always been happening via this mysterious acausal element. These aethyrs are the various modes of emergence and experience, and there is absolutely no reason for any of them, whatsoever, they just are, as I presume, they always will be, as they always have been, ad infinitum.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution."

Serpents Of Light
Energy, frequency, vibration, and velocity. These manifestations sprung forth of the acausal the invisible serpents would not be concealed forever, but eventually detected and relegated to a scientific setting.
From the nothingness of the acausal they came, the serpents, not of the earth, nor even the air, but of the aether, these serpents, slithering at the speed of light.

Reality, like beauty, may only be skin deep, but nonetheless, thoroughly satisfying.

Yeah, you should listen to some of their stuff with Floor Jansen doing the vocals, she's really good too, and you can also hear her as main vocals for After Forever which is also very good.
