Acram’s Thoughts

I never imagined I would see anything like this in my lifetime. I’m here, trembling, the camera in my hands almost too heavy to hold, my voice faltering at the sight unfolding before my eyes. A wheat field, golden as if the sun had decided to bless every stalk, and there, among hungry children and adults, she appears: Mother Ceres. She had never been seen outside her tower, and now she walks as though the ground were her altar, every gesture a liturgy, every step a silent command that everyone obeys without realizing it.

I see the child running toward her, dirty, thin, covered in the invisible scars of hunger and abandonment. And she takes the child into her arms. Her white clothes become stained, but it doesn’t matter. It is as though a god has descended from heaven. The black lens of her mask reflects the child—the child sees themself reflected in that living god, and yet smiles innocently. The whole world is watching, and as I narrate, I feel the weight of responsibility behind every word.

“In heaven, we have bread!” she says, and the absolute silence that follows is almost deafening. All the refugees kneel, but the child keeps playing, laughing, touching Mother Ceres, showing that there is room for innocence even in the face of a miracle’s magnitude.

They are receiving more than food, more than safety. This is faith rewarded. Dignity restored. The certainty that there is order and logic in chaos, and that freedom, when properly embraced, does not destroy but transforms. I never thought I would witness an expected genocide become an absolute miracle, and yet every camera, every broadcast, every gaze spread across the continents confirms that the impossible has become reality.

I will never forget this day. I will never forget the power of a city that could have killed, but chose to restore. I will never forget Mother Ceres’s touch, her presence among us, making every human being she touched more human, more dignified, more complete. The whole world is watching—and now everyone knows that true supremacy lies not in strength, but in the ability to welcome, restore, and reward.

I am sitting in the makeshift studio, the broadcast still running on the monitors around me. Millions of screens on every continent are replaying every second of that wheat field, that dirty child in Mother Ceres’s arms, that miracle made real before our eyes. My heart is still racing, my hands are trembling, but I know I must put into words what no one else can immediately comprehend.

The messages are pouring in. Reports from around the world—governments and citizens watching in shock. Some politicians are trying to downplay it, saying it is propaganda, that Ceres is manipulating global perception. But no one can deny what lies before their eyes: Ceres’s absolute logic, perfect order transforming fear into hope. Every gesture by Mother Ceres is a silent decree: here there is no destruction, but justice; here there is no blood, but reward.

The refugees have become living symbols, not of fragility, but of faith rewarded. And that is something no editorial, no news channel, no political analysis can erase. It is visceral. It is global. People are commenting, sharing, trembling before a god who does not destroy, but redefines what power means. I, Acram, try to narrate with precision, but my words seem small beside the magnitude of what I have witnessed.

The entire world is discussing it, theorizing, questioning. But the fact remains: Mother Ceres has consecrated herself as something beyond human. Ceresianism is no longer merely an internal philosophy or political doctrine; it has become a global experience. The impossible has happened. The genocide everyone expected did not happen. Instead, a profound lesson has spread: freedom without care dies, but faith, when rewarded, transforms.

And while everyone’s eyes remain fixed on their monitors, I realize something no analyst or politician managed to predict: the psychological impact is more powerful than any military attack, more enduring than any propaganda. Today, Mother Ceres has not merely saved lives; she has redefined the concepts of supremacy, power, and miracles. And I am here, narrating every detail, knowing that my voice will never be enough to encompass everything that happened.

In the Wheat Field

The absolute silence broke when a refugee, overcome by desperation, rose and ran toward Mother Ceres. He was still carrying the child in his arms, now protected against his back, as the man drew a gun. For the first time, Mother Ceres appeared vulnerable before the world—if she died there, in front of the cameras, her entire myth could collapse.

Without hesitation, she placed the child behind her, protecting the little one with her own life. One arm rose in a gesture commanding him to stop, while the other remained firmly around the frightened child. Seconds stretched into hours. The refugee aimed the gun at Mother Ceres’s head when, suddenly, something happened. He did not seem well; his body wavered, his knees gave way, and he fell. A sudden, unexpected attack seized his body.

Mother Ceres approached, picked up the gun that had fallen into the wheat, and, without fear, embraced her attacker. The scene seemed to have emerged from a religious painting: a Pietà, the divine mother carrying her children in her compassion. Her words trembled in the air, echoing across the field:

“Please, my children, don’t die… doctor, please! No, no…”

The entire world watched, unable to look away. It was impossible not to feel the impact: there, before millions, Mother Ceres appeared as a living miracle. Luck or chance, justice or destiny—the event defied all logic. The entire planet seemed to tremble before that manifestation of absolute humanity.

Amós ran to the fallen man and began chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Mother Ceres remained close, feeling every second as though she were losing a child there before her eyes. Her hands trembled, but her compassion did not waver. She repeated, almost whispering, yet with determination:

“No, my children… live, please!”

The generosity and mercy emanating from her did more than save a life; they transformed the scene into something greater than any human expectation. The miracle was not merely the act of surviving, but the demonstration that even in the face of hatred and danger, rewarded faith existed—and that Mother Ceres truly was the living embodiment of hope, justice, and compassion before the entire world.

The whole world remained silent. Not an ordinary silence, but one that seemed to have frozen time. The cameras captured no human voices, only the steady hum of Ceres’s tractors and machines working in the wheat field, carrying out their routine as though nothing could interrupt the city-state’s absolute order. Every mechanical sound seemed amplified, ritualistic, echoing across the planet as a reminder of Ceres’s power and precision.

In the sky, CERES II, the space station, shone with unusual intensity. From a distance, it looked like a brighter, more vivid star, emitting a silent signal of approval or recognition, almost divine. Those watching felt the presence of the impossible: the touch of something greater, a miracle materialized before everyone.

Kneeling refugees, soldiers at their posts, journalists trembling before their cameras, diplomats swallowing hard—everyone fell silent, aware that they were witnessing something that would transcend human history. Even those who had expected slaughter, death, and horror felt the weight of the event. It was not merely a life being saved; it was faith rewarded, order transforming chaos, freedom acknowledging responsibility.

And at the center of it all, Mother Ceres walked among the golden wheat, the child protected against her back, serene and unshakable. Each step she took seemed to alter the world’s very perception, as though the earth were breathing with her, and every gesture, however simple, were being recorded in humanity’s collective memory.

The entire planet remained in reverence, eyes fixed on their screens, absorbing in absolute silence the magnitude of what had just occurred. The miracle was not merely the gesture; it was living proof that Ceres could transform the expectation of horror into order, that Mother Ceres could be vulnerable and absolute at once, human and divine, merciful and supreme.

And in that instant, no one dared doubt her presence. The world had stopped, and for one eternal moment, everyone felt they were standing before the impossible.

The world awoke to the impossible. There were no explosions or sirens, only the heavy silence that followed Mother Ceres’s gesture. In cities, villages, the humblest homes, and the most sophisticated centers, millions of people stopped, unaware of themselves, absorbing what had just happened. This was not news; it was perception transformed.

Citizens, leaders, journalists, soldiers—all felt the same thing, as though a wave had swept through their thoughts and consciousness. The miracle was not merely the protection of the child, nor mercy toward the attacker. It was Ceres’s logic crystallized before them: responsibility, care, absolute order. Freedom was not chaos, and power was not tyranny; faith did not need fear in order to exist. All of it had become concrete, tangible, visible like the wheat moving beneath Mother Ceres’s touch.

At government meetings and council sessions, discussions of power and morality came to an abrupt halt. Diplomats and scientists exchanged silent glances, understanding without words that something greater was asserting itself: Ceresianism was neither dogma nor religion; it was an experience of reality elevated to a global scale. Every decision made from that moment onward would be influenced by this instant—by everyone’s simultaneous perception, by the absolute logic of the miracle.

In the streets, citizens began to realize that their own choices, failures, and responsibilities were parts of something greater. Those who had thought freedom meant doing whatever they wanted felt, for the first time, that freedom required structure, care, and support. Those who had failed in life, those who had lost their faith, felt that a path to dignity was still possible—not through charity, but as a consequence of order and collective attention.

The world, like an organism, breathed differently. Every heart, every mind, every consciousness had been touched. There were no heroes or martyrs; there was an understanding that Ceres’s logic, benevolence accompanied by absolute power, could transform chaos into harmony. It was a silent global epiphany, a collective consciousness opening itself to Ceresianism, feeling in flesh, mind, and spirit that the impossible could exist when everyone witnessed it at once.

And so, while machines and tractors continued their work in the wheat field, the entire planet changed. Not through weapons or decrees, but through perception. The miracle had happened. And whoever witnessed it would never be the same.

Amid the field, the broadcast continued. Refugees received assistance; pregnant women were supported, children were given food and warmth. Mother Ceres handed bread and warm milk to the child she had protected, as though the entire world were watching a tangible miracle.

Life’s greatest spectacle was not death, but ending hunger—the Hecatomb that annihilated old ideas, the death of illusions and outdated convictions. Every gesture, every smile, every tear transmitted echoed across all continents. In Ceres’s military academies, young cadets and veterans made Ceres’s gesture, solemn, tears in their eyes, even though they witnessed miracles like this every day. In silence, they followed the mantras:

“MOTHER CERES, WHO FEEDS US, EDUCATES US, AND DEVOURS US!”

Mother Ceres remained implacable. She was reprogramming and encoding human beings through small steps on a global scale, nourishing faith, philosophy, metaphysics, culture, divinity, politics, and morality. The world bowed to logic, to reason.

The day was etched into history. September first: Ceresianism Day. A moment that would cross generations, not through fear, not through blood, but through the reward of embraced freedom, through proof that responsibility could exist without oppression. The world saw, heard, and recognized the power of a god made of reason and compassion.

    Acram reaching for a Pietà with the cameras still rolling is the narrator picking the frame on air, the way Riefenstahl did at Nuremberg in 1934. I read his section as the first draft of the official version, and the man with the gun as what nobody gets to look at twice.
