The Palace of the East refers to the heaven/domain of Akshobhya an Enlightened Buddha whose realm is said to be in the east of the Diamond Realm. This Buddha is thought to be the enlightened emanation of the Wisdom King Acala of the Womb World.
Between this, both the Diamond and the Womb Realm are being mentioned showing domain and connection throughout all. Both of these worlds connected encompass the entire cosmos with the Diamond realm being those of Buddhas and Enlightenment and the Womb being a euphemism for the Matrix-like simulation we live in. This is where various Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Devas, govern. Though the Chaos beings such as Ashura, “Demons” also have direct input. It is this world and simulation that is being directly dealt with within the game. In reflection, this is the world we currently fight over the balance of Order, Law, and Chaos which is the same predicament the game presents us.
The conception is the world in a state where it has come to ruin through conflict, crisis, and or degeneration, and is wiped clean in a state ready for rebirth. This is conception just like the sperm to the cosmic egg as in the Vedas, or the formless world in the Biblical, Sumerian, Germanic, and Persian settings, to be formed by the great Will of the divine.
It may be offensive to some, however, in this series, the God Yahweh, Yaldabaoth, and a few others are seen as demiurge (semi Gnostic understanding) and beings who had governance they claimed or was entrusted to them, or psychologically developed from human belief, which was mismanaged ultimately causing the downfall of the realm. They are seen as lesser governors or aspects of the greater divine will.
This below is a mixture of the Game series’ “lore” and my understanding and UPG.
The Great Will is that which we would define as “God”. Both more in the Buddhist sense of Bodhi, that which both exists and doesn’t exist. Panentheism /Monism God or Allfather. The game calls his Great Will Axiom. Around 4.4 Billion years ago, Axiom creates Mem Alpeh (Hebrew letters for MA) in other words the Mother. The Father (Axiom) and the Mother (MA) together give form to the universe and the collective unconsciousness which is collectively called Brahman. Through this force of Brahman, the Balance of the universe that is Chaos and Order are created. Various incarnations and emanations of the divine will and the Mother, the collective unconsciousness create worlds, Gods, Humans, Animals, Chaos beings, and life itself.
Through the evolution of themselves the Father and Mother experience life, death, and rebirth.
Balance must be maintained, if not everything becomes in disarray and a champion/savior is born to lead the creation back to a path of Dharma and balance.
My take away from this is that we must seek to connect with the divine aspects which lead us to better ourselves, spreading the dharma. The Gods individually are important as we can connect with them more easily and clearly than that with the One itself. But we should be understanding of the greater connected divine. Both aspects of life, Order, and Chaos are needed as they reflect the Father and Mother (Yin and Yang). Adharma (lack of Dharma or evil) is an extreme imbalance of one or the other. Through proper living, ritual, and assessing a growth forward in balance we evolve as the Father and Mother evolve. We push forward into the future. That isn’t to say imbalance won't’ happen, but we need to fight strongly to correct this imbalance.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post even if you had push through the “weeb” ness of it.
I think it is worth delving into “lore”, novels, music, games, and other media which can aid us in understanding and digesting the greater wisdom of the cosmos and the divine. This is one of the few game series that I feel as done such a thing to degree.
Hail the Gods.
