Persopectives on the Temple Lore (Creation of Atys – Kami)
The Kami are incapable of recognizing anything that is not them. They see the beginning of time as the moment of their conception. When they speak of the universe they mean themselves, all else is the Void. They are the embodiment of the “Creative Energy”. That which is not part of their collective, only becomes noticeable once it has been transformed by the “Life Giver”. They are symbionts/pararsites that mutate the “Void” into “Life”. In short, they infect existing life forms and eventually gain dominance or possession over them.
Atys is the key to the Kami ability to fuse with other life. The Greening, the transformation of Atys into a living planet, opened a pathway for the “Life Giver” to manipulate existing life forms with the “seeds of existence.”
“From the bowels of the green planet…”, the core, the pre greening land mass, is where the Kami were brought forth. Endowed with the desire to transform all things not associated with the “Creative Force” they were incapable of dealing with the goo. The goo destroys/limits the ability of the Kami to dominate a life form, but the goo also damages the infected life form apparently to the point of destruction. The goo can remove the influence of the “Creative Energy” that even death can not remove, (which is why we respawn).
Homins while touched by the “creative force” are not controlled by the “fragment of consciousness”. We have free will. Homins are the bridge between the “Void” and “Creation”. We are life forms that can use the “Creative Energy” and not be dominated by it. We are the Void and the Energy. We are creatures of both worlds. Resilient to both the Goo and the “Consciousness”. Resistant, not impervious.
The Kami want us to save them from the threat of the Goo. Once the threat is destroyed, they will attempt to transform all of us, into them.
