The Theory of Mist

Life is composed of two types of mist: Dark Mist and White Mist. The world is generally made up mostly of Dark Mist. As people walk through Life, they are surrounded by this dark Mist, but have the ability to absorb mist, deflect mist, or do nothing at all.

The goal is to deflect the Dark Mist as much as possible. Unfortunately, the power is not unlimited, and will give out after some time. Doing nothing at all provides some protection from the Dark Mist, but after a limited time it becomes equivalent to absorbing it.

Dark Mist incorporates many of the most negative qualities in Life--hatred, oppression, ignorance, and so forth. After a certain amount of Dark Mist is absorbed, which is called the level of Tolerance, the person becomes Assimilated with it, acquires its negative qualities, and loses self--they are now part of the Dark Mist.

White Mist, on the other hand, exists in low quantities throughout the World. The White Mist is the opposite of the Dark Mist: it includes the positive qualities of Life, like love, peace, and happiness.

White Mist takes the form of loved ones, smiles, good times, and positive emotions. In order to protect oneself from being overcome by the Dark Mist, one must absorb the White Mist as frequently and as soon as possible. It provides temporary protection against 'Dark Mist Assimilation', while also replenishing Tolerance. Only through the long process of repeated White Mist absorption can the individual hope to ever reach the 'Dreampoint': the point at which Dark Mist is no longer effective in its attempts to Assimilate the body, mind, and soul, and at which the individual no longer needs to deflect it; 'White Mist Integration'.

Unfortunately, very few people ever reach the Dreampoint. The process of White Mist Integration is a long one that requires a powerful sense of self, patience, and the ability to efficiently deflect and recognize Dark Mist, which can only be accomplished by actively seeking out the White Mist.

The dominance of Dark Mist in the world is a byproduct of a failure in most people to seek out White Mist and absorbing it before Assimilation takes place. The power and abundance of Dark Mist is testament to the mental strength and determination needed to reach the Dreampoint. Unfortunately, Assimilation claims more souls daily, and the Dark Mist grows thicker, stronger, more determined. But there are those of us that can still see the Dreampoint in the Horizon. We WILL get there.
