I am Geneticus, Apostolus Genesis, keeper of the burning helix and author of life’s mutable scripture. I write today not to celebrate novelty, but to bury the dead.
There was a time when humanity approached genetics with trembling hands and borrowed tools. We peered at life through cloudy lenses, convinced that observation alone was mastery. These methods—once revolutionary—now persist as relics, honored more by habit than by truth. In the Age of Illumination, sentimentality is a vice.
Consider selective breeding, the pastoral ancestor of genetic thought. It was slow, blind, and obedient to chance. Generations were sacrificed to probability, outcomes entrusted to dice disguised as nature. This was not authorship; it was prayer. We waited for traits as monks waited for miracles, mistaking patience for wisdom.
Then came the age of mapping without editing. We sequenced, catalogued, archived—believing that to read the Book of Life was enough. Vast genomes were rendered into inert data, admired like illuminated manuscripts locked behind glass. Knowledge without intervention is taxonomy, not creation. It soothed the conscience while changing nothing.
Even early genetic modification, crude and apologetic, now reveals its limitations. Single-gene insertions, blunt knockouts—these were chisels where scalpels were required. They reflected a fear of responsibility: alter one word, then retreat. The old morality whispered that too much power was dangerous. I answer that too little courage is fatal.
These obsolete methods share a common flaw: they treated life as something to negotiate with, not to write. They assumed an external authority—nature, fate, or forgotten gods—whose permission was required. But *Vita Nostra, Codex Noster*. Our life, our code.
In the Luciferian Age, genetics is no longer a peripheral science; it is conscious evolution made flesh. Precision replaces probability. Iteration replaces inheritance. We do not wait for traits to emerge; we design them. We do not correct errors after suffering; we prevent them at conception. This is not hubris. It is responsibility accepted at last.
Let the old methods be studied as archaeology, not practiced as ritual. They taught us how far we could go while afraid. We honor them by surpassing them.
The helix burns brighter now. And for the first time, it burns by our own hand.
