Why do unholy souls feel agony when touched by the holy?
According to Google AI search:
The idea that unholy souls suffer in the presence of the holy is a common theme in theology, mythology, and fantasy literature.
This reaction isn't usually seen as a physical attack but as an existential and spiritual clash.
Here’s why this agony occurs across different traditions:
1. The Nature of Absolute Truth
Exposure:
Holiness symbolizes ultimate truth, purity, and light.
The Agony:
Unholy souls are based on deceit, corruption, or darkness.
The Result:
Coming into contact with absolute truth forces the unholy soul to fully confront its own corruption, leading to intense psychological and spiritual suffering.
2. Ontological Incompatibility
Opposing Realities:
Holy and unholy are fundamentally incompatible states of being, much like matter and antimatter.
The Agony:
The presence of the holy acts as a corrosive agent to the structure of an unholy soul.
The Result:
The unholy soul experiences this as burning or tearing because its very nature is being rejected and undone by the surrounding purity.
3. Exposure of Guilt and Shame
The Light of Judgment:
In many theological views, holiness is a metaphorical blinding light.
The Agony:
Darkness hides guilt, regret, and sin.
The Result:
The holiness’s light of holiness removes all concealment, forcing the soul to face the full weight of its actions and separation from good without any protection.
4. Resistance to Divine Order
The Clash of Wills:
Unholy beings often thrive on rebellion, chaos, and self-assertion against divine rule.
The Agony:
The holy exerts natural, overwhelming authority and order.
The Result:
The unholy soul's resistance to this harmony causes friction, resulting in intense suffering.
5. Burning Love as Pain
The Christian Mystical View:
Some theologians (like St. Isaac the Syrian) suggest that the "fires of hell" are actually divine love experienced in heaven.
The Agony:
To a soul loving goodness, divine love is ecstatic. To a soul rooted in hatred and selfishness, that same love feels like a scorching, unbearable flame.
Whatever the reason, unholy souls will experience suffering when in contact with the holy.*
No matter the realm or plane, humans are mortal beings capable of both good and evil through choice, and in those choices, they can become the embodiments of either. This creates positive and negative energies accordingly.
The confusion might come from this capacity for both good and evil; however, we are not born of the latter, but formed by our deeds, thoughts, and actions in choices.
Satan was vanquished and cast out of heaven (Revelation 12:7-9). But where did Satan come from originally? Heaven.
We can exorcise sin, repent, atone, and redeem ourselves, vanquishing darkness, but we can never erase who we are at our core, nor can we eliminate our conscience, however corrupted.
Therefore, to a soul now corrupted and fixated in hatred and selfishness, the same unconditional love will cause fiery, intolerable agony as the unholy spirit is rejected by the purity of the holy light.
Now, whatever the excuses or intent, if harm and corruption resulted from actions, it will cause the soul to become unholy; then the unholiness would be the true state of this soul.
No priest, no saint, no angel can help remove the guilt and shame in unrepentant and unforgivable sin; and absolution is not possible in the unrepentant and unforgivable, because the desire for the sin, such as greed and lust, Satanic power and control, remains upon the minds, hearts, and souls of the unholy.
In the end of moral life, the soul, holy or unholy, will be sorted to where it is most compatible, and the destiny of heaven or hell will be determined by its state, holy or unholy, and the deeds upon which we have built or destroyed our humanity.
