It would seem that in mortal terms, I haven't posted in this forum for a while. Hello.

I would apologise for my absence, but there has been much to do in Heaven. Although order of a sort is returning, many things remain in disarray. That, and attempting to introduce the majority of angels to the concept of free will is... I believe the human expression would be "so slow it may as well be going backwards".

It's frustrating. I don't suppose I could trouble anyone for advice? I'm hardly the best teacher, even with subjects that aren't so innately alien.

DON'T FOLLOW THE SOULS.

[ well that was. both to the point and confusing. ]

What?

Mm, to be honest, I have never found many in heaven to be willing to listen to much of anything.

DON'T TOUCH ANY FUCKING SOULS.
EVER.
THAT IS MY ADVICE TO YOU BECAUSE TO SAY IT ANY OTHER WAY WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME AND SOMEWHAT RESPECT.
IF YOU MAKE IT THAT FAR IN YOUR WORLD, YOU'LL KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
JUST DON'T DO IT.
EVERYTHING YOU'RE THINKING... *STOP*

For many, their willingness to listen isn't the problem. But the subject matter is difficult for them to comprehend.

You're also familiar with a Heaven?

Then you may have more success than I expected.

Asgard, the realm of the gods, the land where angels come from. It is also referred to as 'heaven', though Asgard is its proper name.

So what you're saying is that this is more advice for the future. Noted.

Iunno. Have you tried those little hand cards?

With the ones that are willing, perhaps. There are still some that refuse to hear.

I see. That would be a different Asgard to that which some others of this community hail from, I gather.

I'M SAYING THERE JUST MIGHT ALSO BE SOME PRETTY HEAVY IMPLICATIONS FOR ATTEMPTING TO TEACH ANGELS FREE WILL.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN *IF THEY DO.*

Hand cards?

Yeah, with the lines on them? Just write down all the big stuff into easy chunklits.

There will always be some like that.

I do believe that my own world does not have another from it on the community at the present time.

What happened in heaven?

So it seems.

I also find myself in that position.

Lately, not much of note. But the power vacuum caused by Michael's entrapment in Hell coupled with the fallout from the failure of the Apocalypse has been upsetting the status quo. Trying to bring things to some kind of new order isn't easy.

Then we have something in common!

My name is Eater; what is yours?

The alternative would be to continue letting them follow someone else's orders blindly, without questioning. You may have a point, but I'm not sure that letting the status quo stand is preferable.

Castiel. It's good to meet you.

Oh, the pleasure is all mine!

I'm not familiar with what you're referring to. You're saying they're for summarising one's points?

DEFINITELY NOT.
MORE THAN LIKELY THEY'D TRY TO START THE WHOLE END OF THE WORLD THING ALL OVER AGAIN.

Yeah, like, on one side they'll have a drawing of a dog, and the word on the other side. So all you need to do is draw a picture of free will and you'll be solid.

I wouldn't even know how to depict that in one drawing.

Have you been here long? I'm afraid I don't recognise you.
