Write a story about five sentient beings that exist peacefully together. At some point they learn that they are all part of a greater whole through undeniable signs. One being realizes that all the signs mean the same thing, another interprets al the signs individually and distinctly.
The other three vary in relation to the original two and try to combine the original two interpretations causing arguement and bickering over frivilous details. Two of the three try to reconcile the difference of interpretations by including an outside authority controlling the signs. They more easily answer the "why" question by invocing the authority.
The two attempting a reconciliation confer with the original two as to why signs come and go. An original interpreter explains that everything is in flux between the two extremes and that as beings themselves, they are also in flux between creation and destruction, going from one to the other and back again.
The reconciling beings are confused but like the idea of always existing, even though the idea of a cycle of creation and destruction is hard for them to swallow. The original interpreter states that existence imprisons us into our current form, but only in death are we free, but we will inevitably take on this form again unless we grow to understand how to escape the cycle and understanding that path cannot be taught specifically, for each path is different.
When asked how he escapes the cycle, the original interpreter responds that he becomes the whole by acknowledging the whole. The reconcilers are confused and take the lesson as meaning that they should acknowledge the authority. So they go about trying to understand the authority that they invented.
One reconciler thinks that the authority wants to be known otherwise he wouldn't have made himself apparent, so this reconciler goes and tells others his persuation and meets with rejection at every turn. He thinks he's saving these people from their prisons while the others think he has a personal agenda. One of the reconcilers believes that death alone ends existence since their is no way to tell otherwise. The other thinks that everything is controled by the authority so there is no use to ever try to temper your convictions.
This needs more work. To be continued...
