The HOOK I have spent my life in the singular pursuit of warning humanity
of the horrors that exist beyond the scope of most's perceptions. Indeed, I
have tried to express the themes of our collective reality, without
significantly altering that reality, most of my life. I first became aware that
I had the ability to see the changes in our shifting reality, that others seemed
to be unaware victims to, in 1897;
Aurora Texas was invaded by a strange alien entity that destroyed the
local crops, set fires to the town, and killed many of the residents. It was a
world wide panic and the military quarantined the city until the entity returned
into the skies months later.
Within days after the alien left our planet the papers began
recanting their previous stories. The News papers explained away the damage the
entity had caused, to Aurora,
as being from mundane occurrences and the only mention of the alien was of a
UFO citing that had been explained away as a hoax.
As the new narrative began to spread throughout the world
and the publics perception of what happened in Aurora changed, reality changed with it.
Understand me I don’t mean that people simply forgot, but past issues of the
newspapers changed; the stories were different. Monuments built in remembrance
of what happened in Aurora
disappeared from existence. The world, the universe changed.
In the last 40 years I have seen this reality shift happen
many times. News papers, art work, books, radio and movies all have the ability
to change reality if enough people see and believe. I am unsure why I have been
able to see these changes and others don't; I suspect I will never know. My
father has been in a psychiatric institution since I was three and I suspect he
is cursed with the same extrasensory perception that has befallen me and is
what eventually broke his mind.
I in fact have begun the same dissension into madness, which
is why I have left my beloved Sonia and returned to Providence to begin writing my secret memoir
before I am unable to document my life’s work. A memoir that must be hidden
from all but hopefully a scattering of exceptional individuals, or reality
could cease to exist. The burden I have endured is to protect reality and
instill a warning in our culture all without changing reality. As I now know that
collectively humanity can access enough of our souls power to change reality. The
information I share in this cipher could literally destroy heaven, hell, earth
and more if it was able to become public consumption.
I have spent most of my 45 years researching, exploring and dealing
with evils that would eventually lead me to revealing the creation of the
universe. With deepest regret I share these burdens with you as I know they
will most assuredly be the death of you if you’re lucky or the death of your
sanity if you are not. Protecting humanity from the consciousnesses of the
universe, however, requires the sacrifice of individuals such as us.
I do not know if there was a beginning. All my research has
revealed to me is that our universe is unique and not always existed as it has
now. Our universe is an abomination, a tortured existence for a treason long
passed. Before our universe was as it is now it existed as pure consciousness
interacting with other peers of pure consciousness. Our universe, Azathoth,
revolted against these other beings. Azathoth created many generals ordering
them to birth their own warriors to lead against the other conscious universes.
Four of these generals are commonly known today as the Four Horsemen; Death,
Famine, War and Victory. These generals created their own warriors; now known
to some as Alphas. Death created the reapers as his warriors, War created the
Leviathans, Famine created beings that represented aspects of consciousness (many
of which are referred to as gods in humanities various mythos), and Victory
created angels. Azathoth and his army failed in their revolt against the other outer
gods (conscious universes). As
punishment the Outer Gods fractured Azathoth from a singularity; his fractured
consciousness became matter and his screams the energy of our Universe.
Without Azathoth’s Guidance his creations did what they were
created for, they warred. The Old Ones (Generals) and the Elders (the generals’
warriors) battled over controlling pieces of Azathoth’s fractured existence to
their own ends. The Generals use these fractures of Azathoth to grow their
armies. The Four Horsemen alone remained loyal to Azathoth and joined forces.
They fought the other Old One’s armies with the intention of protecting
Azathoth so he could be reassembled.
These wars continued since the beginning of time in our
Universe until the horseman Victory discovered a creation that would change
everything. Victory created beings that possessed unlimited power; a creation
that could not only store a great deal of Azathoth’s consciousness, but the
only creation found that could replicate the fractions of his existence. This
creation is what we call the human soul. Victory placed the creation in a
vessel (the human body) that cut the souls off from its own power and thus
humanity was born. The Four Horseman now had a renewable power source, but the
newly created treasure would cause conflict between the Horsemen.
The Horseman, War, wanted to use humanity to make his Leviathans’
an unstopped fighting force. Victory, however wanted to use humanities power to
reassemble Azathoth. As to War’s nature he took what he wanted by flooding the
humans habitat (the great flood) and having his Leviathans devourer them.
Victory retaliated against War, he sacrificed most of the remaining souls to
banish the Leviathans to Purgatory; the prison the horsemen created to hold the
Old Ones and their warriors. Victory and War then battled each other until
eventually they both became weaken and imprisoned each other on earth . Cthulhu
(War) became imprisoned in the Baltic Sea and Victory (Yahweh) under Mount Sinai.
Over the next many millennia humanity grew as the horseman
Famine battled other old ones deep in space. Famine left some of his Elders to
watch over humanity as he continued with the cause of protecting Azathoth.
These elder watchers are what became know today as the gods of Greece, Rome, Norse, Egypt,
India
ect.
Cloaked under the name Yahweh the horseman Victory used a
man named Moses to help him escape from under Mount Sinai. Yahweh ordered Moses to gain
followers and worship him as a god. As more and more people began to worship
Yahweh the power of their souls began to shift reality. Yahweh granted Moses power
over death and plague, which Moses used to free worshipers for Yahweh. With the
new followers and their sacrifices eventually reality changed enough that Yahweh
grew in strength and escaped his prison under Mount Sinai.
After being freed Yahweh began stockpiling Souls and created
a new dimension called heaven that would contain the Souls while channeling
their power. The Arch-Angel Lucifer deduced that Yahweh intended to destroy all
of the universe with the souls he was collecting. Lucifer lead a revolt against
Yahweh to release the souls from heaven, but failed. Yahweh created the
dimension Hell to imprison Lucifer and his fallen angels and banished them
within. Although trapped and driven crazy Lucifer has been able to continue to
collect souls and resist Yahweh's plan to reform Azathoth.
With his new found power Yahweh granted Moses immortality
and bestowed on him domain over pestilence. Yahweh continuing to grow in power
beyond that of all other Old Ones ascends beyond his title of the horseman Victory
and grants Moses (Pestilence) his empty spot as the fourth horseman, now called
Pestilence.
As Yahweh pushed his followers to grow their ranks and encouraged
them into monotheism it becomes harder
for Death to reap souls to power Famine’s war against the other Old Ones.
Famine confronts Yahweh and the horsemen come to an agreement about how to
split the souls. Yahweh takes the souls who worship him, Pestilence takes the
souls that worship Allah, Famine takes the souls that worship the gods of
Hinduism, and death takes a percentage of the souls he collects upon the
vessels destruction.
Yahweh decided to take a personal role in growing his
collection of souls by placing a portion of his consciousness into a human
vassal. As Jesus he was successful in motivating his followers to grow his
worshipers, but before Yahweh was able to use his acquired souls to reform
Azathoth he became a victim of his worshipers’ adoration. Christianity had
grown so predominant that the collective will altered reality turning Yahweh
from the God of the Old Testament to the more ethereal (yet physical) Christian
God. Yahweh's vassal limited his ability to channel the souls in heaven and was
unable to wield the power necessary to reconstruct Azathoth. Today, however, as
Christianity weakens so does Yahweh’s banishment from his true form.
With the rise of secularism and science the human soul has
begun to ease Azathoth’s existence. We explore the universe and thus begin to
explore Azathoth’s existence, which will ultimately strengthen Azathoth enough
to reform and thereby destroy our universe as we know it.
This knowledge I can only burden a few with or risk changing
the delicate balance of humanities existence. There are beings so powerful that
they could destroy humanity with little more then a thought and the only reason
we prevail is to be used as tools and consumed for power. The Universe is
reforming as it collapses upon itself, Gods battle to be the first to either
control the universes’ power or fight to hasten its renewed destruction, and there
are Gods and powerful beings that fight to free themselves from captivity in
order to take vengeance upon humanity. Unfortunately this only begins to lift
the veil covering reality, there are limitless horrors that exist; I have
hidden other ciphers such as this and my published works reveal some truths to
aid others. Hopefully, it is enough to assist you in battling the tides of
chaos.
Sincerely,
Howard
