CHIM
"CHIM. Those who know it can reshape the land. Witness the home of the Red King Once Jungled." — Commentaries on the Mysterium Xarxes, Book Three
CHIM , 是一种已知能改变这片大陆的力量 。见证了红色之王(Red King)故土曾经的荒芜 。——沙克斯秘典评注 , 卷三 。
CHIM (/k?m/ kim) has been described as the secret syllable of royalty.Many writings have made vague references to it throughout history, but despite its importance, theres a dearth of information. It is best understood as a state of being which allows for escape from all known laws and limitations. It is the process of reaching some sort of epiphany about the nature of the universe and ones place in it, leading to a simultaneous comprehension of the full scope of existence as well as ones own inpiduality. CHIM is capitalized because it is from the Ehlnofex language, the language of the Ehlnofey who are believed to have been the progenitors of the modern races. It is an ancient sigil connoting royalty, starlight, and high splendor.
CHIM可以被称作是成就王权的辛密 。纵观历史 , 许多作者都已经模糊的把它引为参考 , 却由于信息的缺乏而无视它的重要价值 。它的最佳解释是是一种超脱一切已知规律和限制的存在状态 。这是某种参悟了宇宙本质而后将其取为己用的过程 , 同时导致了对自我之存在也是本体的理解 。“CHIM”因为出自艾尔诺菲语 , 所以是大写的 , 其语种被认为是现代语言的先祖 。这古老的咒语意味着“王权”、“星光”和“无上显赫” 。
Mankar Camorans Commentaries on the Mysterium Xarxes, Book Three, begins with "CHIM" in the Daedric alphabet and deals extensively with the topic. It begins with "The Tower touches all the mantles of Heaven and by its apex one can be as he will. More: be as he was and yet changed for all else on that path for those that walk after. This is the secret of how mortals become makers, and makers back to mortals." (Though "the secret of how mortals become makers, and makers back to mortals" is a phrase more indicative of the related concept of Amaranth.) So one who knows CHIM is said to reside atop (or within) the Tower (i.e., Mundus) and possesses incomprehensible power to alter reality. By knowing CHIM, one experiences an ineffable sense of the godhead, which is what allows for escape from all known restrictions.
根据曼卡尔评注的沙克斯秘典 , 卷三 , “CHIM”开始出现于魔族字母表中 , 并被广泛用于某主题中 。开始是:“助以触碰到天堂的每一个角落的途径 , 若达到极致 , 那么便可随心所欲 。此外:通过执着于其曾经的自我却可以改变今后的每一条道路 。此为凡人化为上帝 , 上帝又变为凡人的秘密 。”(短语“此为凡人化为上帝 , 上帝又变为凡人的秘密”更多的表明了与永生观念(concept of Amaranth)的联系 。)所以领悟了CHIM的真谛的人 , 据说会居住于塔(顶/内部)(也就是凡间)(Ps:“Mundus”在老滚精灵语中是奈恩/凡间的意思 。)通过理解CHIM , 可以经历到一股不可言喻的无限力量去改变世界 , 可以超脱任何已知法则 。
The Walking Ways are six interrelated paths to achieving pinity, or "mantling", of which CHIM is the fifth. All paths seem to require some understanding of the Wheel, the structure of the Aurbis. According to Vivec, the first to understand the concept was Lorkhan, whose curiosity and desire for change drove him to the rim of the Wheel and beyond, where he looked back at the Aurbis sideways and thereby learned the name of God: I (as a wheel, observed from the side, is an "I").Lorkhan then convinced the Aedra to join him in building Mundus, also called the Tower at the hub of the Wheel, in a venture to help others know CHIM and thereby escape all laws which constrained them. This attempt at CHIM failed, though why it failed has been the subject of intense disagreement and bloodshed from the dawn of creation to the present day. Some attribute the failure to a mistake, others to Lorkhans malice; the circumstances are unknown, but Vivec seemed to suspect that the so-called failure only occurred so that others might know how not to fail. Vivec, who wrote extensively on CHIM, described it as reaching heaven by violence. He apparently learned of it from Molag Bal.
登神之路(The Walking Ways)(Ps:参考N姐“成神之路”帖子)是六条相互关联 , 或是称为“披甲”(mantling)的成神途径 , CHIM是第五条 。所有途径都需要对轮回 , 对奥比斯(Aurbis)(Ps:老滚神话中Aurbis是Anu和Padomay的居住地)结构的某种理解 。根据维维克 , 第一个理解这种观念的是洛克汗(Lorkhan) , 它好奇和改变的欲望驱使它来到了轮回的边缘 , 最终超越了轮回 , 在那里它回望奥比斯岛 , 因此习得了神的名字:我(I)(作为轮回本身 , 在一旁观察整个轮回 , 成就“我”) 。洛克汗之后说服圣灵们加入它创造也被称作轮回中心之塔的奈恩 , 这个冒险让其他圣灵意识到CHIM和法则的超脱 , 于是都趋之若鹜 。这次对CHIM的尝试失败了 , 原因是由于在创世之时发生了激烈的争执和杀戮 。一些世界的属性失败错误 , 圣灵们则对洛克汗心怀怨恨 。当时情况是未知的 , 维维克怀疑所谓的失败错误只是发生了 , 而圣灵们却知道如何不发生错误(Ps:根据先前lore , 圣灵们发现创世或许会损伤自己甚至消亡 。)维维克 , 广泛写及CHIM之人 , 据说是暴力登天(reaching heaven by violence)而成为神 。他显然是学习了莫拉格·巴尔(Molag Bal) 。
