Googled my name and found this....

And here I thought I made this up myself; There is also supposedly a famous philosopher from Romania named Sorin Cerin.born 1963. Sorin Cerin, Cerin Storms, how odd.

:Note: April 6th, 2010 Just googled the word Bergonian and it says its an island btwn North America and Europe. Hmmmm. Imaginary country..? don't know, never traveled the ocean before


CERIN, the faceless God

Arcan and Icotesi formed a dual god-head-- a "Duinity," in contrast with Christianity's Trinity. But on a deeper level the myths do admit to a sort of Bergonian Trinity, joining Arcan and Icotesi to a third co-equal god-head. This is Cerin, "The Faceless One," "The Concealed," "Silent-God" and "Headless-God." He is said only to exist in the darkness, and hence is Arkan's utter opposite and Icotesi's other consort. The myths ascribe nothing to him, no characteristics, no deeds, no interest or motivation, and utterly uninvolved with the other Gods. But the myths in all versions and renderings make it a point to refer to Cerin with rhythmical regularity.

Cerin most certainly equates with "nothingness" as in both an existentialist and Buddhist sense. Cerin is not remote; he does exist in the world, and indeed is present in every space in every moment. Cerin fills the residual places in space between atoms and particles, and in time between the "moments" where nothing else exists. Cerin fills vacuums and voids, and thus is irresistibly linked to the Abyss, the all-important backdrop to all Shufrantei contemplations of death. Cerin is still and unperturbed. Occasionally in a mythic drama a mythical personage declares that he will abandon his life and "seek out Cerin" or "Cerin's comfort," and then departs the stage.

Cerin has no temples, worship, litany, or presence at all in active religious life, except that in the processions during the Festival of Light a character will walk alone dressed in plain gray robes carrying a large black curtain on a pole. The figure's face is concealed behind a gray mask. No one sings as this character passes, although everyone claps a rhythm to match his step. This figure is Cerin's one appearance in all Shufrantei ritual life.


AND THIS;


The underlying substrate ofthe Cerin Lithographic Limestones


Abstract

The Cerin Lithographic Limestones do not cover a wide area. They correspond to numerous lagoon in-fillings of limited development, within a wide emerged area characterized by sandy (skeletal) limestones mainly of coral origin (Landaize Limestones). At the village of Cerin where an excavation for paleoecological studies is located, the sandy Landaize Limestones provide the lithographic limestone substrate. Their cementation is partly of supratidal and/or intertidal origin, but frequently shows phreatic freshwater features. Finally, microbial cements (bacteria or cyanobacteria) reflect a major process of lithification. The original substrate consisted of grainstones, the top of which was considerably eroded, producing uneven relief with steep slopes and even cliffs, sometimes reaching several metres in height. The erosion processes were probably mechanical in origin, but also biochemical (biokarst) and especially biological (bioerosion by grazing, boring and microbial erosion). Lime mud which produced the lithographic limestones filled the hollows between the substrate reliefs. Around areas where the uneven rocky substrate had steep gradients locally developed gravity flows occur. These are capped with microbial films which are affected by superficial slides showing more or less concentric or complex wavy structures. Locally, true slumps giving rolls and synsedimentary microfolds also occur.
