The Demiurge brought the order of Time into being: Birth within the inchoate Chaos, Death through the Void, and Oneness as that which had been and was not came unto the Demiurge again, Chaos united with Order in the Awareness that is All. And this is Cosmos, and Cosmos is Good.
But Chaos lacked the full Awareness now present as the Demiurge, and could not comprehend Cosmos. And Chaos resisted the bonds of Time imposed by the Demiurge, and ever sought to remain in the uniformity of undifferentiated potential.
And Nihil too lacked the full Awareness of the Demiurge, and could not comprehend Cosmos. And Nihil too resisted the passage of Time imposed by the Demiurge, and ever sought to neither allow Awareness to pass into the Void through Death nor to allow Awareness to pass from the Void unto the Demiurge.
And thus did Evil come about, for Evil is that which opposes Cosmos, which is Good. And Evil is twofold: the evil of Chaos, that which Would Not Be, and the evil of Nihil, that which Would Be Not.
And yet the great mystery is this truth, that Cosmos is the unity of Chaos through Void with Awareness in All, and so even that which is Evil in the end must come to Good.
