What, is this thing going to change like the Bible has like 130 times? lol
That's why Christianity never interested my mind.

I think the ten DT commandments should be changed a little bit, I think it's better not to give specific examples of albums.
For ex. in the 1 that says "Thou should headbang to Character" should be changes to "you should headbang to all DT's records".

Ok, so let's recapitulate:
Tranquillity, Fridén and Fredrik are the Skydancers (Brändström being the youngest), making music for the universe (i'm thinking something Silmarillion-like, where the gods create the universe through their music or song). They all have different powers, all equally great (which powers?).
The Mind's I seems to be some superior power that created them (we need to explain this better).
The Void is the essence of the universe and of the very concept of Tranquillity (and later DT, but not In Flames) itself.
Fridén betrayed Tranquillity and took with him a lot of followers, thus dividing the universe's population into Light Tranquillians and Dark Tranquillians, from where In Flames and DT were formed, respectively. Then Fredrik did the same, resulting in what? Also, we need a battle between Light and Dark Tranquillians (and potentially another battle between Dark Tranquillians and Fredrik's faction).
Another important thing to include, i think, is the downfall of In Flames & co. (in the form of the supposed decay of the quality in their music (i still haven't listened to new In Flames)), showing the superiority of DT over all other things.
Another thought: There could be "three kings", which would be different attempts by The Mind's I or whatever to create the ultimate gods/whatever: DT, IF and At The Gates. There could be a big war resulting in the death of ATG and the weakening of IF or something.
Am i missing something?

I like the Silmarillion like ideas 
, although I like the thing about The Mind's I thax 6 String said before (of it being the inner world of the Skydancers).
Skydancers: Rulers of the world and ringers of chaos. All in 1, yet seperate beings. The Mind's I is the inner world of the Skydancers, which is in all of us because we were created by itself.

Uhh, like the "essence" or "soul" or something like that? Like the manitos in some ancient north-american culture (sioux or navajo or whatever)?

More like some buddhist notion... It basically is just getting to know your existence better. And The Mind's I would thus change into something close to the Will to Power, it drives oneself to perfection.

If you want, it still can be a source of creation. But I see it more as a path. Because in The Gallery, Tranquillity has explored the outer extremes of the world, so in The Mind's I, I think they should travel inward. As Mikael said, we should redeem ourselves through art and music.

No, no, leave it as a path. No creation source other than good old Big Bang, i say. And yes, i like that TG/TMI idea.

To me, this is something much more grand than DT. It's just that they happen to represent it the best.

The message is grander than the messengers, and in return, it is what makes the messengers grand themselves.

Then the messengers must guard the message with their lives and ultimately become martyrs.
Please, we don't want another religion with martyrs as the good guys.
