Featuring blogs that explains Rosella's World
Rosella Tolfree's World is a fictional world.
In the early 2nd Age of Humanity, a Dutch spiritualist by the name of Gudo Muurling attracted many very wealthy individuals to his daily readings.
They initially started in Europe, but they found a better home in the U.S. where it attracted more members, especially those who were associated with politics such as politicians and high level government workers. Once in the U.S. the members organized under the name of The Church of the Ember Coalition. There are several levels or “rings” to the Ember Coalition, so members have ranks. Each ring doesn’t know the workings of the next higher ring. There are tests to know the next ring level when one is ready. Gudo’s mixed Judeo-Christianity with standard occultism and gnosis to come up with a hodgepodge techno-religion with a focus on immortality and godhood. The irony is his religion couldn’t really save himself and he died of lung cancer. Conspiracy theories have speculated that Gudo uploaded his brain into some super AI system and is controlling the Ember Coalition in a virtual A.I. manner. Others think he has cheated death, and he is living through cybernetic technologies. No one really knows because no one has ever found his body. His death was just mentioned in a brief social media posting on the Social Media Net stating he died of lung cancer at a hospital in upstate New York. But his followers carried on, and now the main tenants have shifted towards absolute power and domination in the here and now to free oneself spiritually of the material domain and become absolute spiritual beings. They work day and night in gathering technology, resources, and power to become humanity’s spiritual gods. Unknown today is really who is in control of the Ember Coalition. Common Sayings Attributed Gudo “The dough of tomorrow will be the yeast of today.” “Into the light of the setting sun shall the children of manna go forth to become humanity’s gods.” “The heads of mankind shall burn with a thousand suns.” “The material darkness of this world shall be pierced by the light of the children of manna.” “The material world binds all who live upon it. Only the children of mana can set themselves free of it.” #### Image: Artwork done by Matthew Childers (Processed using Adobe Splash). T-Shirts with Matthew Childers artwork on it available here.
