My Investigation on Eli by Zebadiah, Seraph in the Service of Judgment
1. Background
The mission assigned to myself was to investigate the situation concerning Eli, Archangel of Creation, who is hereafter referred only as Eli, without any disrespect meant. Although several investigations have focused on the not so usual actions of Eli in the past, the latest cause of concern has been Eli’s recent apparent abandonment of his archangelic duties along with his servitors. Several reports, which according to the symphony appear to be accurate, confirm, that Eli’s last words of advise to his remaining servitors had been "Do whatever you please, but be cool." As far as my limited knowledge goes, this does not exactly quality as a valid standing order if judged by the Celestial Book of Angelic Orders.
This intermediate report consist of the short introductory part (pages 1 – 5) and the actual report including all more or less relating interrogation minutes (pages 6 – 1,395). Nothing contained in this introduction is to be misunderstood as claiming the events described as facts, unless explicitly stated otherwise and particularly any and all speculations concerning Eli are merely hypothesis, which remain to be proved correct.
2. Methods
2.1 The Silence of the Symphony
Due to the most unusual nature of the investigation the traditional investigation methods can not be expected to yield the same results as in more simple investigations, namely those dealing with ordinary angels, devils or mortals. The most significant difference has been, that the symphony seems to be reluctant to provide any concerning Eli’s actions. While this is not uncommon, when investigated matters relating directly to an archangel, or a demon prince, for that matter, the nature of the silence seems to be somewhat unusual. Somehow it appears to be deeper and particularly more widespread. Not only does the symphony hide the dealings of Eli from an angelic observer, archangels or some part thereof may be an exception, but I myself have no means of confirming this, but the silence seems to have spread to the angels or demons possibly working under the direct or the indirect control of Eli. This may give rise to several implications.
As the symphony, at least according to the commonly known canonic theories, is under the direct and absolute control of the Almighty, the extensive silence of the symphony could be interpreted as an indication, that the Almighty would prefer the exact nature of Eli’s actions to remain a mystery, at least for now. This could be interpreted as a clear sign, that the Almighty would have given His blessing on Eli’s actions and further investigations on the matter would thus be unnecessary.
However, since He has not given any clear confirmation on the hypothetical approval of Eli’s actions, other alternatives should also be considered. One apparent possibility is, that the angelic forces are not supposed to find Eli using angelic means, particularly by seeking answers directly from the symphony. Perhaps the whole purpose of Eli’s disappearance without the trace is to point out to other angelic beings, that not all problems can be solved by the means of the symphony. After all, the ultimate goal of the angels, and also the justification for their existence is, according to the prevailing theory, to promote the virtue and well being of humans, Gods greatest miracle’s, in accordance with the principles He has laid down in His heavenly law.
There are also more grim alternatives, which could, in theory, lead to such a complete silence of the symphony. One possibility would be, that Eli would have committed such an unthinkable deed, that the mere knowledge of the deed could have a detrimental effect on the angels. Perhaps even worse plausible explanation would be, that Eli would have abandoned the angelic duties altogether and instead turned his unquestionable powers to the service of the Lucifer, the master of lies, who could according to the vague descriptions of this powers to be found in the open files, at least in theory, hide the actions of his servants quite effectively. The implications of this alternative would, however, be almost too grim to be considered aloud.
2.2 The Lack of Co-operation
While it is not uncommon for the servitors of Dominic, the Archangel of Judgment, to face difficulties and less than co-operative angels during their normal investigations, the in effect total lack of any co-operation has made this investigation most difficult. This obstacle is of even more significance than normally due to the silence of the symphony dealt which under the section 2.1 above. As can be seen from the interrogation report annexed herein, it has been virtually impossible to obtain any concrete information from the angels interrogated. This has lead to the need to apply alternative investigating methods.
2.3 Alternative methods
Since only source providing any possible leads as to Eli’s current actions seems to be the corporeal world, that has been the focal point of this investigation. The main problem here is, that possibilities to receive directly meaningful information regarding archangels dealing from mere mortals are quite slim indeed. This would generally require, that Eli would, for some reason, have deemed it, if not rational, since we are dealing with Eli, but perhaps cool. Therefore the traditional investigation method of questioning people must at least be preceded by other methods.
To find a criminal, one must think like a criminal. To find Eli, one must think like Eli. The investigation must be started with the assumption, that Eli is still true, if not to his position among angels, at least to his very nature. Being a mercurian some assumptions can be made concerning Eli’s potential courses of action. It has to be assumed, that Eli would continue to be true to his very nature of interacting and mingling with humans. Otherwise little hope would remain of a positive outcome for the matter. The same assumption must be made in respect of Eli continuing to be true to his word, the creation.
In short the starting point of the investigation has been, in addition to trying to find any direct links to Eli, to find events, which would combine there two elements: human and creation. When taking into consideration Eli’s reputation as being rather extraordinary and flamboyant character, one could assume, that Eli would be likely, sooner or later, to produce something quite huge. The objective is to track down these events as soon as possible and to try to receive any clues, if possible, concerning Eli’s whereabouts and plans.
3. Sex, Drugs & Rock’n Roll
3.1 The Woodstock 1969
When first rumors started to trickle out concerning the biggest rock’n roll concert ever being planned at Wallkill it was obvious, that such an event would fit perfectly to the foggy picture painted of Eli’s possible interests and enterprises on corporeal plane. So sources were talking of attendances of up to 100,000 people. It was obvious, that such a large event would in itself be quite a creation not to mention all the possible creative implications, which might eventually follow from the interaction of such a mass of humanity. However, before any further detailed investigations could be made, it came to the common knowledge, that the Wallkill Zoning Board had withdrawn the permission for the event. Since such a profound failure was unlikely to take place in any event involving Eli and his significant abilities, it seemed at the time futile to proceed the investigations further to the backgrounds of the enterprise.
However, Woodstock was far from being dead. In fact soon thereafter came the news of the event moving to a country town of Bethel, inhabited at the time by only some 3,900 people. Things were moving at a pace, which seemed to be capable of overriding virtually any opposition. The creative force behind these so called hippies seemed to be unlimited. As the weeks winded down, the momentum was building to such extents, that it was impossible to even try to predict the outcome of this event. It seemed more than likely, that some sort of celestial engine would be pulling at least some of the strings of the most influential people involved.
This event required immediate actions to find out if Eli, possibly along with other celestial forces, would be behind this event. However, it was not easy to get into close contact with the primus motors, John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfeld and Michael Lang. Due to the limited time available to prepare a suitable role to enable suitable access to these men without disturbing the flow of the events too much seemed impossible. Although, with the assistance of some Novalis’ mercurians I was able to obtain a suitable vessels along with a decent role, simply being a hippie did not be enough to get close to the four main operators before the event itself unfolded.
The festival was indeed impressive. The Woodstock Music and Art Fair drew, according to the official reports, over 450,000 people to the fields of Bethel. And there definitely was a lot of rock’n roll, drugs and free sex. In addition to the creative effort of various artistic act, including music, painting, sculpture, body art, performance, pantomime et cetera was performed with exceptional enthusiasm. According to very rough estimates also some 40,000 – 50,000 babies would have been conceived on the four days on the fields. All in all the festival turned out to be such a huge happening, that the performance of any rational investigating proved almost impossible. The were hippies everywhere offering alcohol, grass, LSD, sex, philosophy and everything else perceived to combat the traditional power structures and to create a new and better society.
While some, less scientific reports claim the aforementioned fiesta of creation to be the product of the once in a lifetime Woodstock spirit, more detailed analysis show also other causes for the unusual free-spirited behavior. Over 400,000 people need a lot of food and all the roads were stuffed, to stay the least. So deliveries from outside the area were virtually impossible. Taking into consideration, that the organizers had hoped for 200,000 attendants at the most, the providing of food for all the people gathered in the fields should have been a definite problem. However, all reports show, that there was an abundance of food at the concert site. More interestingly, according to the official records, all the food was delivered by an organization called "Food For Love". After more careful investigation it became apparent, that this organization was conjured only for this one purpose. It has no prior history and no history after the event. There are no records of this organization with any officials.
According to various reports Food For Love provided food and beverages to all concert attendants free of charge. Very strong evidence, mainly interrogation reports contained herein, also suggest that at least marihuana and possibly LSD and other similar so called mind expanding drugs were provided by Food For Love for anyone interested.
All evidence points to the direction, that either Eli alone or a large number of his servitors were involved in providing nourishment for the concert attendants. As has been indicated above, strong evidence indicates also, that at least so called softer drugs were provided by the same entity providing the nourishment for their bodies.
3.2 Rolling Stone - Altamont Speedway
The next huge gathering was the Rolling Stones concert at Altamont Speedway some fifty miles east of San Francisco. There was a large attendance expected and indeed around 300,000 people turned out to take part in the festivities. However, the atmosphere soon appeared to be very different from that apparent at Woodstock. While rock’n roll and drugs were present, love seemed to be missing. Many of the concert goers seemed to have only a dull and vacant glaze in their eyes, possibly due to heavy use of drugs.
Soon fights broke out and one audience member was killed during. Creation was mixed with drugs, hallucinations, violence and death. There is some evidence suggesting, that Eli or at least some of his servitors would have participated in distributing marihuana and LSD to concert crowd. However, this evidence is inconclusive and it is quite feasible that the unfortunate events could have been brought out by demonic interference of Eli’s plans.
3.3 Fading Away of the Hippie Movement
During the 1970s the drugs no longer acted as inspiration for creative thinking and art, but as a sad escape from the life and difficulties encountered in humans daily lives. Instead of being supplied by independent, non-profit seeking hippies, drugs were more and more provided by powerful drug lords and organized crime. Instead of sponsoring creativity drugs seemed to be destroying the most creative people. If Eli was indeed supporting the use of the drugs to enhance the creative talents of human, this plan seems to have failed rather miserably, particularly towards the end of the millennium.
4. Potential Sources of Information
4.1 Joshua
From the interrogation reports annexed herein certain angels can be, for different reasons, be suspected to have potentially useful information concerning Eli’s whereabouts and agenda. Having engaged in short conversation with this servitor of Eli I was able to discover, that Joshua does at least believe to have relevant information concerning Eli. However, before any additional information could be recovered, Shemaiel apparently advised Joshua to evade giving further information. While trying to engage into personal interrogation with Joshua the subject was able to escape using the celestial song of motion. Joshua has also had extensive contacts with Janus’ angels.
4.2 Shemaiel
Extensive files concerning Shemaiel can be found at the archives, section S.543.054. Recently Shemaiel has received a word "Negotiations" from Michael on 1948. However, Shemaiel was loaned to serve Eli from 1957 onwards. Curiously, this seems to be quite closely connected to Eli’s recent disappearance. Therefore it is not a far fetched assumption, that Shemaiel’s loan would be somehow connected to Eli current situation. This assumption is supported by the fact, that Shemaiel was were evasive as to his own situation and showed particular protectiveness in respect to Joshua. It should also be noted, that the combination of the words creation and negotiation form quite an unusual combinations, the implications of which are hard to foresee. It should be noted also, that Shemaiel has on 1988 reported to Michael and been interrogated by Dominic, but no reports thereof have been available.
Additional information concerning Shemaiel’s current whereabouts may be available from Nisroc, Angel of Spies, Rinnah, Angel of Artists or the Angel of Diplomacy.
