The collective consciousness, the psychosphere, both terms to describe something so immense and illusory, that to believe you've obtained full knowledge of it brings godhood. It is the quintessential meaning behind the power almighty, knowledge is power. Though with this metamorphic entity that is called the psychosphere, comes the exponential variables of human thought in its entirety. Thus the belief in any one thing can cause a ripple effect within the domain of the sphere. This breeds an immense amount of possibilities, endless cycles of lives from days long past, days yet to come, and as always the day in question. All within the grasp of the sphere merely because consciousness, the very ability to be conscious, brings reality. Without conscious thought, reality fades into a non-issue, with your physical entity becoming a mere shell of its former self.

When I first came into the sphere as a still conscious being with the power to understand, it was euphoric. Imagine a million feelings of ecstasy in a singular moment, if moments could be measured so easily within the sphere, but I digress. That description is not nearly close to the actual experience. One always ponders, what is it that allowed me to remain conscious without the sphere ripping it apart to feed the pool. Well this is because the bloodline of the Takano, has the ability to adapt, and bring forth what I adapt to into fluidity. Which means as I experience things, I become accustomed to them, as I grow and learn within it, it becomes part of my existence. But again to explain this to a mere mortal becomes a slippery slope that I dare not get into, I am after all despite appearances, merely a god who intends to observe. Thus why I have beings in place for me, my choir if you will for those of you who believe in a Christian god. By the way both Gaia and I agree, the Christian god is a good guy, a little slow, but he's new. Give him time. I refer to the Christian god as him and he, only because the biblical text in which humans refer to him utilize those distinctions. Humorous when you realize that he can take any form without consideration to gender or species.

One might ask why not, with all that power, alter and change the world for the better? Well unfortunately I can only answer in that we are only as powerful as the people who believe in us. Also, when you enter into the upper echelon of godhood, you become.. indifferent, impassive, some would go so far as to label it apathetic. But you must understand that it is not exactly that we don't care. In us you find the totality of things, imagine dual thought, but not just simply that. The example I give is that we care so much AND we care so little at the same time, that it creates the misconception of indifference within us.

There is another aspect of the psychosphere in which I and Clowd Merdith reside and typically rule. But this information is of such that we hardly ever wish to share it. Within this information lies a possible weakness for us, though so far it has never come to be tested. Within the psychosphere there is an entity which is also a non-entity, an accumulation of the power of chaos. Within it lies a mysterious power that can only be contained through entropic leylines, this entity does not exist in the fashion that is understandable through conventional means. As a chaotic entity, powered simply by there mere thought of chaos, it can only be communicated with through the hums and rhythms of the resonance within its particles. It amusingly calls it "the symphony", though this is actually the best label for the method of communication. It has no name, but we've given it one anyway, however that name will remain hidden until the time is right. As I said, it takes the power of both Clowd and I to maintain this entity from seeping out. If it were not contained, it would create a cataclysmic dissonant event within all particles, in mortal terms it would destroy all existence as mortals define existence.

Before I go for now, I say this in parting, you may ask why with all of our power.. do we feel threatened by anything at all. Well in the end power is measured again by consciousness, and with that comes many different plights. As there are always opposing viewpoints, with that comes those who can also possibly survive within the psychosphere. My brother Setheus is an individual who can do so, however if he were to gain access he could weild the power needed to upset the balance held over this chaotic entity. Though with all of his knowledge, he still holds on to his mortal feelings, his need to strive for superiority. In this he will never understand that in order to even glimpse at the psychosphere, he would need to be willing to forsake all that he has accumulated to enter the unknown. To die as he would a mortal man, as I had. Only then will he release the latent ability within his Takano blood. Fortunately he is a selfish being, unfortunately though this means I must keep him from dying. I shake my head at the irony sometimes.
