The Second Tenet

"Iblis in Iblis is the Door to the Shadow of the Self"
The Nameless, Summer 2025

The Second Tenet is based on the Second Rift of the narrative.

II.
The Second Tenet

Iblis in Iblis is the Door to the Shadow of the Self.

In the Second Rift, Iblis is physically cursed and exiled for having refused an order from divinity to give obeisance or prostration to humanity, made to look into himself, and is given the name of Iblis to signify his new condition.

The Second Tenet is that Iblis, as the shadow of Iblis, offers us access to the door to the umbra of humanity, as a whole, and the self, as a part. With a grasp of this part of the narrative, he offers us rudiments of self-awareness.

Before a veil of divinity, Iblis in Iblis calls humanity to understanding.
