THE FIRST TESTAMENT

　

Compiled By Willys Watson

　

　

BOOK ONE:

 

With the FIRST PROTOTYPE they became the life givers, the ones who complemented each other through necessity. Existence hinged on mutual needs and their destinies were laid out before them without question. They were nature’s environment and all was as it should have been.

 

With the SECOND PROTOTYPE they became the ones who would receive life through the mirror. Innocence was their heritage. Curiosity was their only tool. Harmony cushioned their journey and a benevolent environment blessed their lives. This was as it was always hoped for.

 

With the THIRD PROTOTYPE they became the builders. Their hands became the changers of fate and it was such an easily acceptable alternative. The environment had already given them the tools and this was as expected.

 

With the FOURTH PROTOTYPE they became thinkers and their minds embraced the world of abstract thought. As nature’s secrets absorbed the impact of their earliest mental energies the environment was transformed. This was as it would forever be.

 

And so life evolved ...

　

　

 

BOOK TWO:

 

With the FIRST PROTOTYPE she blossomed in the spring. He took on a flexible, protective foliage. Peace was in their lives and life within the natural order was abundant.

 

With the SECOND PROTOTYPE companionship developed into yearning. Desire recognized passion. Fulfillment embraced commitment. Equality was strived for and life had meaning.

 

With the THIRD PROTOTYPE early completions developed pride. Achievement received recognition. Acknowledgment requested advancement. Rewards breed competition. But safeguards were in place. Friends were still friends and victories were chaperoned because ambitions had not yet embraced greed. Pride was reward enough and their life was exciting.

 

With the FOURTH PROTOTYPE they studied religiously. Every question formed and answer and every answer posed a question. Life itself was scrutinized.

 

And so life thrived ...

　

　

 

BOOK THREE:

 

With the FIRST PROTOTYPE seeds were replanted. A soft rain fell when needed and the sun was always mild. And they grew according to plan.

 

With the SECOND PROTOTYPE companionship grew to understand love. With this knowledge care and patience overcome barriers. Tenderness and tolerance accepted and forgave human error. And they thrived according to plan.

 

With the THIRD PROTOTYPE materialism began to rule. Soon distorted pride and greed signed joint contracts because miscalculations, setbacks and failures became burdens commerce would no longer bare. The innocent and the just paid the price as undue wealth became this plan’s higher priority.

 

With the FOURTH PROTOTYPE mistakes were deciphered and corrected with ease. Energy and mass were harnessed. Affection, emotion and moral consequence were dissected and too often easily discarded as ration dictated the path this plan would take.

 

And so life teetered ...

 

　

　

BOOK FOUR:

 

With the FIRST PROTOTYPE their harvests were plentiful and readily shared with those who walked upon the land. Although these creatures took they still gave back enough to replace and replenish. The cycle of growth continued because pain was a gentle acceptance.

 

With the SECOND PROTOTYPE the small family expanded. Age became an endearment. Love was surviving the changes of definition and real pain was still a distant relative.

　

With the THIRD PROTOTYPE compromise deteriorated as compassion became obsolete. Any honor or fair play that had somehow survived soon met it’s demise because commercial stagnation sought excuses. Almost as an afterthought these excuses started inflicting pain. But pain demanded retaliation. And retaliation embraced raw violence. All too quickly unbridled violence discovered war. War understood death as a viable solution towards capitol growth.

 

With the FORTH PROTOTYPE minds merged. Genders neutralized as ration forged a total entity. By rising above the lessor beings they began to perceive themselves as the GOD THAT WAS TO BE and they turned their backs on the EARTH and towards the HEAVEN.

 

And so life wavered ...

　

 

　

BOOK FIVE:

 

With the FIRST PROTOTYPE nature was still trying to co-exist with those that walked upon their land. But these creatures came again and again and again. Somewhere along the way too many of them began to take for the sake of taking and too few were willing to recycle and replenish. Nature caved in under the weight of overwhelming ignorance and indifference and, while the land was being raped for ungodly unhuman profit and unseemly human pleasure, it found itself near the brink of extinction.

 

With the SECOND PROTOTYPE the old passed into the unknown. The generation left behind grieved for awhile, but only for awhile. Traditions and heritage became passe and memories were soon amended to advance personal justifications. Soon oneness began to suffocate togetherness. Values became increasingly devalued and other lives increasingly less valued.

 

With the THIRD PROTOTYPE cruelty became exalted. Even when between wars the bottom line knew no mercy. Possessions and power had merged into it’s own heartless deity.

 

With the FOURTH PROTOTYPE this GOD THAT WAS TO BE was suddenly confronted by the GOD THAT ALWAYS WAS.

 

And so life survived ...

 

 

BOOK SIX:

 

With the SELF-DESTRUCTING PROTOTYPES this GOD intervened in time to salvage the remains of a grand and noble experiment that was quickly deteriorating into a fiasco of biblical proportions.

 

With the FIRST PROTOTYPE this GOD concluded that it was whole enough and nourishing enough and pure enough to provide substance if it were made strong enough to survive within it’s own natural order. It would be rendered virtually human-proof.

 

With the SECOND, THIRD and FOURTH PROTOTYPES this GOD decided to dissolve each one’s singular purposes and incorporate the best qualities of these fragile and failed experiments into a single FIFTH PROTOTYPE. Plucked from the celestial debris of those most unsatisfactory beings were the barely functioning remains of the heart, the soul, the mind, the body and the conscience.

 

And so life regrouped ...

　

　

BOOK SEVEN:

 

With the FIFTH PROTOTYPE this GOD combined the grander attributes of the flawed plans into the concept of two single units, one MALE and one FEMALE. Each was intended to be separate but equal. Each was destined to complement and complete the other. Each was expected to honor the other through companionship, duty, respect, continued knowledge and tolerance. And together they, and the generations that followed, were entrusted to cherish, to repair and to replenish the EARTH.

 

Then this GOD THAT ALWAYS WAS issued only one instruction to the NEW PROTOTYPES:

 

"Take care of what has been given you and respect it as the gift it is intended to be. If you fail to do so there will be no more chances."

 

And so life evolved again ...
