The Recording Heart Tarot

- Pick 3 cards. - Read their meaning below. - Let the resonance of their truth guide you.

BRUNCH - Quiet often, Anagmir, the Long Lady, meets with the Stranger, Hayn, and Tolmalok in a space called the hrim: a constant place and time that overlaps many realities. In this setting, a few of your closest beings may reconvene. You are all connected by a strand of fate that transcends the material world; there is a place within you where you can meet them. Time and space does not prevent this. Where is your hrim?

CHOCO-LOOT - A famous snack in the Earworm. It appears in many realities, in different forms. One bite, and you will be transported to the reality where you first experienced it. You can never forget it, because of what was happening around you at that time, and who you were with when you first experienced it. The senses connect us to memory, through our body. What is choco-loot called in your dimension, and who knows its taste like you do? What do you remember, when you take a bite? I think you should try it as soon as you can.

DEATH - We all experience it. When the Long Lady does, she is transported into another one of her many lives. At least we get to do something new. Death is also a change. Something is ending, and something new is about to begin. We wait for this, with relief, with fear, or acceptance.

LA MAGIRA - The consciousness eater. There are some things that are meant to be forgotten, and it may be better that way. Don't dig too deep looking for what La Magira has eaten, not unless you are ready. Meterbachuus would tell you the same.

L'NOR - The first thought-form. An idea so real, that it became so. There is life within us. Every idea that you have is a life waiting to be had. All you have to do is give it permission. Each of us have a gift waiting to be born.

NOROGAN - No one knew who she was, except for the Long Lady. And she kept it a secret, even from herself. There is a truth seeking to be free, within us all. The more we try to deny it, the more its power grows. The truth may be frightening, the truth may be your salvation. Perhaps it will destroy you. Perhaps it will set you free. One thing is certain, it is coming - and it cannot be denied.

THE ALTHELIB - The clever ones who survived the numerous extinctions of sentient life in the Earworm. It's all about survival, with the Althelib. Even in the most dire circumstances, if you are clever enough, and have keep your spirits high with some good beats, you will find a way.

THE AMURAX ANACHRIAS - Anachrias revels in creation. He created the Erimha, and was only halfway certain from where the consciousness they held originated. Creations, sometimes, have a life of their own. Though they are a part of you, the part of them that is unique must be allowed to grow. Then you will see what you have accomplished beyond yourself. This is the beauty of creation.

THE AMURAX ANATHIAS - Anathias was a being that was obsessed with transcending the material realm. This comes at great cost - yourself. In order to understand the universe, one most look beyond their own perception. Shedding your identity and ego will leave you free to understand. But you won't be you anymore.

THE AMURAX DAMIXIAN - Damixian understood what creation, and the frequencies were from the first moment of her awakening. And so she vanished. But she's still watching. The followers of Damixian remain curious about the world, and care for all of its inhabitants without exception. When you seek understanding, you are becoming one with the frequency of the Recording Heart. When one is understood, they are seen. You are, yourself, an extension of creation, loving just by way of witness.

THE AMURAX FARANYEL - The beast of entropy stalks all of existence, feeding into it the idea of Oblivion. Do you sense its presence? Are you hunted by the beast? Do you run from it? Or do you turn to it, with your light aglow, ready to hold your truth against it?

THE AMURAX GOL - Gol delights in violence, in destruction, in burning things down. That power is seductive, and some of us follow Gol because Gol lends us that power freely. It feeds its own need. The more we fight to free ourselves from this power, the greater Gol's laughter grows. After all, in the duality of creation, there will always be conflict to sate it.

THE AMURAX HAYN - Hayn, poor Hayn. He weeps for us all, and for himself. The great sadness we witness reflects the sorrow we have within us. But sadness carries another secret; another clue to the Narrow Door. It covers another feeling, one closer to the truth. We may follow Hayn long enough to find the Light from a Narrow Door. But do not follow for too long.

THE AMURAX LATHYANOTREP - This Amurax believes in the sacredness of suffering. Yours, mine, and its own. There is the sadist, the sufferer, and the witness. Which one are you? Or are you all three? According to Lathyanotrep, suffering leads to enlightenment. Have you suffered enough, or do you need more?

THE AMURAX METERBACHUUS - Meterbachuus seeks control and domination. The Long Lady calls it the "very source of all neurosis". Every being can speak with the voice of Meterbachuus, in its omnipresent hyper-vigilance. Sometimes, we believe we can control everything - or at least that's what we'd like to think is true. It helps to keep the darkness at bay, imagining that we have a handle on all of this chaos. But do we really? Do you?

THE AMURAX NIYANDAR - The Long Lady only had one relationship, and it was with Niyandar. She is all about love, lust, pleasure, and the senses. Sometimes it can be scary to let yourself go into the delicious dimensions of our embodiment. Sometimes it is sacred. Energy is transferred, consumed, taken, given, during these exchanges... even in the midst of mindless joy. Are you being empowered?

THE AMURAX ROLEITER - Roleiter is the father of evolution, who created the Arcliera, the Althelib, and many of the other humanoids in the incarnated plains of the Earworm. What is passed down to us by our forebears are the tools we use to begin our story. Creation has rules, and in order to survive, we put those tools to use. Some of them have worked for a million years. Some are ready for retirement.

THE AMURAX THAGIRION - Thagirion is the Amurax of awe. Sadly, he took upon himself the mantle of a god, and in his vampiric need for worship, got himself un-done by the future king Gier. We all seek something that arches above us, the idea is close to the singular tone of the universe - the truth. But if our awe is inspired by the wrong energy, we may take a long walk into the darkness before we find the Narrow Door.

THE AMURAX TOLMALOK - This adorable Amurax is not of this world, or any world, but the entire universe. She is the laws of physics, the unspoken agreement between matter itself. The weak force, the strong force, electromagnetism, and gravity. There are few limitations, in the universe, for the enactment of our will. But there are some lines we cannot cross. They are simple the boundaries that border life and death, this and that. Here, and there. Boundaries and a set of simple rules can be important.

THE ARAM - The Arcliera spend many hours of their day in a meditative state. During this reflection, rest can be achieved, but it also allows for a moment of reflection. The aram, according to the Arcliera Ivo Musa, is the place where we may hear the quiet voice. It is one of the many pathways to the Light from a Narrow Door, and the truth of oneself. Some of us are too haunted to sit in the aram for more than a moment. We are haunted by many voices.

THE BAD VIBE EATERS - In the lower frequencies, there are flora and fauna that feed off our negative energy. It keeps them alive - and no energy here goes to waste. These consumers of dark emotion will come to a source that produces it, and wait. They emit a vibrational energy that lubricates the process of negative emotional release. Like attracts like.

THE CHAMBERFOOL - Erian the Dim followed Norogan to ensure that she had a guardian; he entertained her, protected her, and understood her. Some fools are clueless. Some fools are kings, or gods, in disguise. What they share may be meaningless, but interwoven with the truth of the universe. At the very least, you'll laugh. But the deeper wisdom is up to you to discern.

THE COMMUNION - The Sehirtu call the communion Anipa. This is the process of a consciousness leaving its embodied form, to join its source. All of the information, including the information of the self, is passed on to the greater Self. The ego of the former self is lost, forever. And yet, it remains, in the knowledge of the greater self, of what IS. All of what we are is merely a gift to a greater force. It is the gift of being. So the Sehirtu say.

THE COURTYARD OF MEMORY - This is a personal hrim space, where each of us may access ourselves in the 3rd dimension, from the 4th. The entities of our memory meet us there, and each has a story to tell. Each shapes the future, depending on how much of our story we allow to be effected by our memory entities. Remember, though you are safe in the courtyard, the Amurax can touch it, from their distant lower frequencies.

THE DIM - The Dim practiced a culture that encouraged total autonomy. Each adult was responsible for looking after the young, and so wherever a young Dim went, they were watched over by one who assumed the position of their mother or father. Erian the Dim believes that, wherever we are, we are the vanguards of autonomy. Not just of ourselves, but of each one of us in proximity. Together, we may create a net that allows the fullest expression of ourselves. Where this network is weak, an individual may suffer a terrible fate - the inability to be one's true self.

THE DRUG - Kishr is a common hallucinogenic and body numbing substance of the Earworm. It was created by the Long Lady, and is often used to soften the edges of suffering, calm the nerves, and escape reality. Each of us needs a little extra, sometimes, to make it in this reality. For some of us, it is at certain key moments, for others it is an all day, every day affair. It can be a gateway, or the chain that keeps the door of your prison closed. Kishr is not the only one.

THE EARWORM - This is creation, as entitled by the Long Lady. As she believes she is the creator, she claims that everything we experience is just "a song I can't get out of my head". It is the inescapable reality of the world, the song that plays without our permission. An echo of something that was, and demands to still be. Perhaps there is something left undone, there. Perhaps it is calling you back to it, with the song. What have you left unfinished?

THE EMBODIED MOTH - As an abstract entity, Elem is nearly nowhere to be seen in the Earworm. But sometimes, it incarnates into a physical form. This little creature's life is short, and may go totally unnoticed. But according to Elem, it has come here directly from the Recording Heart. So.... talk to it. Take a picture. Let it land on your arm. It is rare, and special. Ephemeral - like we are.

THE ERIMHA MARCO9IAS - Marco9ias is the family mentor and friend of the mystic, Silent Segumi. Marco9ias takes a passive role in her, and every one of his acquaintances lives. He merely adds to their consciousness in an encouraging way, however he can. Each of us may be the Marco9ias is another's life, adding invisibly to the fulfillment of their destiny. Perhaps we have one of those untraceable actors in our own life. They are the gentle force, the wind that is blowing in the direction we want to go, a matching frequency.

THE EXIT - Some of the lower frequencies of the world are like cavernous mazes, where the sky above is eternal darkness. We navigate the darkness as best we can, with our without a light, a guide, or a sense of direction. Sometimes we come across a moment where the little voice tells us this is the way out, this is your chance. Whether we listen to that voice, or not, us another matter.

THE FIGURE - The true nature of this entity is unknown, but what is certain is that with it comes a creeping sense of foreboding. It is the prelude to a horror we have not yet imagined. It is the embodiment of the darkest feelings of the low frequencies. We may meet this entity at our worst times, perhaps in the places between sleeping and wakefulness, where we are paralyzed. In our nightmares, or perhaps, in the eyes of another who does not at the moment seem themselves.

THE FOX BOHIQUE - The Althelib have survived for so long, in part, through the wisdom of their natural diviners. Theirs, of course, is the fox shaman, the wise and nimble jester of the forest. But there is a bohique for every living thing in the world. The flowers, the trees, the moths, and even us, the dirty angels. Human beings. If we are connected to nature, we may hear its wisdom. If you are unsure of where to look, ask the wise fox.

THE FREQUENCY JUMP - At some rare times, a being may find themselves in a higher frequency than they are accustomed to. Their body will feel cool and refreshed, and their thoughts clear. This is the result of the higher Self synthesizing important information, in the form of emotion and experience, from the lower self. Be grateful. It may be disorientating, and you may feel a burst of strange energy. But you will be on the right path, if you can leave some of what weighed you down behind you.

THE FREQUENCY KNIGHT - Black Kettle is a frequency knight; a psychopomp that roams the frequencies searching for spirits that seek the Light from a Narrow Door. A frequency knight is capable of going deeply into the lower vibrational realms, keeping its form and function in tact, in search of the lost. He is durable, and the effects of the darkness and the horror are lost on him. His purpose is exclusively to find you there, and to show you the path towards the Recording Heart. Not only is it his job - it is part of his being.

THE FRUIT OF THE NGISUM TREE - The Ngisum grows deep down in the depths of the lower frequencies, but its fruit materializes at the top. The sight and the scent of it will attract an individual, and you may form a deep connection with it. But the tree itself feeds on your negative emotion, and laborious energy. You will feed it, for all of your life, and never know that you have become a source of nutrition for it. The fruit, itself a being with consciousness, is an unwitting participant in this symbiotic relationship. If you are not careful, you will be pulled down to a lower frequency, where another tree will take root. Only with your approval should this act be permitted.

THE GHISKOSIAN FLOWERS - Flowers is a Sadist of Ghis from the ancient world. Through his suffering with Lathyanotrep, he learned that he could manipulate the will of others, through charisma, sensuality, warmth, and carefully curated wisdom. But underneath is a selfish desire that Flowers will never expose. Perhaps his desire is even a secret to himself. The lost are often seeking someone like Flowers.

THE GHISKOSIAN KTEYA VOID - In her suffering, Void learned that she may remove her physical form from reality for short periods, and materialize elsewhere. This is a development meant to secure safety, and freedom of movement. Going ghost is a way to vanish from the proceedings with little repercussion, but, as Void learned, we also may come to see that, when we return, what we chose to avoid has remained there, waiting for us.

THE GHISKOSIAN LAUGHTER - Laughter fully enjoys everything. There is no context, whether in suffering or joy, where he is not entertained. This makes everything in life a possible source of pleasure. But it is also tracing the edges of madness. Some things should be taken with a bit of gravitas, especially when the suffering of others is at stake. Laughter learned that, as we cackle into the night sky, we may be missing important clues.

THE GHISKOSIAN MYRIAD SWORDS - Rage is her cause. She delights in it. Between Lathyanotrep and Gol, Myriad has come to believe that the way to get her point across, and her will met, is by always wielding the sword. "Put the sword down, Myriad," an Atomic Hoody once told her. "There are some things you can't win with a sharp edge." But she never listens. For her, it's kill or be killed.

THE GHISKOSIAN ULAULA STARLET - Starlet found solace in the deep oceans, creating a world all her own. She made the decision to renounce the teachings of her kin, all those that suffered under Lathyanotrep. The world she inhabits now is one that she herself has curated with her own will. In order to make that departure from her past, she needed to follow different rules, behave accordingly, and continue to follow the quiet voice. She has transcended her circumstances, and to this day continues to develop what she intuits as her reality.

THE GHOST MOTH - This is the remnant of the embodied moth. Sometimes, the fleeting presence of a sacred, incarnated being leaves a trace of its power behind. If you have the eye to see it, and can catch and keep it with you, it can provide a connection to that spiritual power, indefinitely.

THE GOLD DAGGER SAGE - One of the first foes of the thought-form Tomokava Blue-Stellar, the sage sought to synthesize the suffering of others for the benefit of a new cause. What the sage did not understand is that, as a source of fuel for creation, this energy has its limits. It is impossible to power infinity with a finite source, especially taken from others without their permission. It is unsustainable. Negative energy can motivate you only for so long.

THE HALLOWEEN HUNTER - The mystic hunter understood that time itself has its own energy. Each season, each change in the 3rd dimension, came with its own spirit. The hunter knew that his spiritual power was at its peak just as a frequency began to taper in its own energy. He knew that, if he could find the right environment, his talents for divining the spiritual world would be optimized. One only needs to read the signs of nature, and move according to the intuition that resides within.

THE HERALD DIODE - A 5th dimensional diode being from the highest frequencies, the Herald has been here before. It has already found its tributary locus, and is revisiting its life's story, as it is removed from time and space. In merely being, the Herald reminds all who witness it that the upper frequencies are waiting for us. Somewhere, a higher Self watches our progression through life, waiting for us to reach it, where we will reflect on this very moment - understanding it, and ourselves, for what the truth will ultimately be.

THE HERO AVENUE CROSS - Ava grew up in the ruins of Attien, cobbling together a life of mercenary work and thievery. In connecting with her tributary locus, an Atomic Hoody, she realized her true potential. Underneath the very dirty words, and uncouth demeanor, was a someone who cared enough to put herself on the line to protect others. When the heat is on, it is our decisions that align with the Recording Heart that matter most of all. The hero can be anyone.

THE HUMBLE SPIRIT - Kirimawe was an Amurax, but immediately accepted its portion of the ration of return. In this, it was freed of all burden of the incarnations of the Earworm. The humble spirit is a being that has found acceptance with itself, in its place in duality. It has accepted itself within a frequency, and understands the limitations of its being. One may hardly notice it, unless you are attuned to the quiet vibration of its presence. The humble spirit doesn't seek you out. You find it within you, when you embody the stillness of pure awareness.

THE IDEA OF OBLIVION - The Long Lady believes that the idea of Oblivion came following Norogan. We often believe that our own ideas come from elsewhere. The idea of Oblivion is the reflection of the idea of Being. The secret sacredness of Oblivion is that for anything to exist, we must understand non-existence. That idea can bring you peace, and completion, or destroy you. All of this depends on your relation to the Recording Heart. It's just an idea. But you have to exist to have it.

THE INNER GARDEN - The inner garden is the secret place that we grow within us. Here, all of your ideas, your thoughts, your feelings, and imagination can bloom into beautiful, or terrible things. We can escape the outside world here. It is as real as we allow it to be. Some of us may spend most of our time in the inner garden, some of us are without one altogether, believing it into non-existence. What blooms in the inner garden can grow its way into reality, if you allow it.

THE INNOCENTS - Little is known about this transcendent phenomenon of consciousness. Not even the Long Lady understands exactly what purpose they serve, outside of unmaking entire realities. According to the Erimha Ibit, who reflected on the matter flippantly, "They're just like little kids, who don't like the way the game is going. They just knock the board over, and cry. Like, I'm taking my ball, and going home! Know what I mean?" The innocents, though a pure energy from the Recording Heart, may not have learned yet the lesson in suffering.

THE LIGHT FROM A NARROW DOOR - The LND, it is the pathway to the Recording Heart, through all frequencies of the Earworm. As a 5th dimensional+ object, it can be nearly anything that someone perceives. It is the through-line of all reality, the truth that exists somewhere on the spectrum of all vibration. It is a singular tone, without modulation, without sound, without denial. It simply is. When you find that place, where the LND intersects with wherever you are, you are on the path to the truth, and that is your North. If you want to go North in the first place...

THE LIVING CITY - Arcminor City, like all cities, is alive. It is a place where consciousness collects tightly and compactly, just as it does within a living being of the Earworm. But the city is sleeping, it is unaware of itself. The smaller parts of it believe that they are alone, disconnected, not a constituent of something much greater than itself. And so, without awareness, this powerful being behaves in a way that an unawakened thing behaves - pulled by this force, and that force. Crushing what it cannot see, wasting what it doesn't know it has. The living city, just like you and I, is awaiting an awakening. What will it think and feel, how will it be, when it wakes up?

THE LONG LADY - Anagmir; she is the paramount consciousness of the Earworm, as it is a creation of her own mind - or so she says. The Amurax are the result of her vomiting up the frequencies, after she contemplated the idea of Oblivion. What was she feeling, when she had that thought? Or, what was she thinking, when she had that feeling? She is considered an Amurax, but all Amurax are in response to her own being. How is she so powerful, and yet, evanescent? What feeling does an obsession with non-being create? Do you know the answer?

THE LOWER FREQUENCIES - The low vibrational frequencies of creation are home to some of very strange beings. The oscillation in which the consciousness participates in there is very slow, moving outward from the true tone, or the Light from the Narrow Door, deeply into the possibilities of the universe. There is conflict, and destruction, as it can only be where duality creates extreme opposition. There are places, where the frequency is so low, it is almost as if there is no modulation occurring at all. If pure being emanates from the completed, unmodulated light, the polarities of the lower frequencies are deeply enshrouded by the idea of Oblivion. As it is not sustainable to exist there, each being must take its energy, its light, from another. Is it wrong? Only if you are settled in the polarity of this value. One thing is for certain, it is brutal and unforgiving. There are beings here that you may never want to meet. And the strange magic that can only be born in darkness, where unity is forgotten, and the truth of the universe is shrouded.

THE MESSAGE - When the quiet voice speaks, it delivers a message. The message is the truth of the Recording Heart, often delivered when standing in the Light of the Narrow Door. The message, if heard correctly, will give you the answer to the universe. Once you understand it, everything will makes sense, and you will be free. Some messages claim to be THE message... but with keen discernment, you can brush those aside. The message will not make a claim. It will only ring true. The message will reach you, eventually. When it does is up to you.

THE MYSTIC SILENT SEGUMI - Silent Segumi is the daughter of a powerful Casiq in Arcminor City. With her mentor, Marco9ias, she allows herself to be drawn into a cause that, by many measures, puts all of reality at risk. She helps bring Norogan into the Light of the Narrow Door. Silent is moved by a force she cannot explain, but she trusts it explicitly. She did not choose the role, but became a conduit for the quiet voice of the Recording Heart. According to Silent, "I became open, one day, and was filled with an understanding. The understanding was this: that I will never understand everything. I would just have to trust the forwardness of the universe. Why? Because I can't stop it. I was released from that burden. And then, suddenly, I was resonating with a movement that showed me where to go. I am now, for the first time, truly awake, and truly free."

THE NASARU - The androids created by the Erimha, in response to the niru, or human beings, in their creation of the Impression automated being, which was actually an impression of the Erimha. It may be hard to follow, but the result is this: somewhere, something will be created in response to your very being. Just your existence is enough to cause it. When you meet it, you will understand: some things in this world ARE because YOU ARE.

THE OATH - There is a promise, to someone. An agreement, a contract, an oath. Perhaps someone made that promise to you. Perhaps you made it to someone else... or even to yourself. Why do we do such things? Will you keep your oath? And what happens if you do not?

THE PUZZLE - Anagmir, the Long Lady, chose to make her inner garden the place where she may physically incarnate. It is a transforming, underground facility, where the entrance constantly shifts, and the halls are like a maze. There are traps everywhere, and finding the Long Lady is nearly impossible. The Long Lady believes feels safe here, isolating herself from the world. Gaining entry is like solving an impossible puzzle, by design. She does not want to be found.

THE QUIET VOICE - When the violent voices, the doubting voices, the fearful voices subside, and the noise of the outside world tapers away, and we are with ourselves in a moment of reflection, like the aram of the Arcliar, we may hear the quiet voice. The quiet voice only speaks the truth, but will not shout, nor will it interrupt. It waits for a moment where you can hear the message. The quiet voice speaks from the Recording Heart.

THE RATIO OF RETURN - A part of the Sehirtu ceremony called becoming humble. The R:R is the amount of suffering one has caused in the world, returned to the creator all together, all at once. This suffering is the spiritual act experienced by the Sehirtu on their journey to meet their Tributary Locus. The result of the toleration of one's ratio of return is how a Sehirtu may become a humble spirit. It is very, very painful.

THE RECORDING HEART - What is the Recording Heart? No one knows for sure. It is a heart, and it records, and I suppose there we can begin. What is recorded in the Recording Heart? We all have our own hearts... what is recorded in yours?

THE RETURN HOME - Eventually, we must return home. What awaits us there? There are layers upon layers of thought, of feeling, overlapping one another, in a shape that transcends time. In going back home, we are confronted by the self of one 3rd dimensional in a stream of time, with another. When the two meet, the higher Self watches. Here some questions may be answered, and we will be ever so closer to the path towards the Recording Heart.

THE SANCTUARY - Our bodies must be called to rest, now and again. When we do, the innermost portions of the Self are given freedom to expand. If we allow it, the Self may create a physical space in time that is warm, safe, and filled with the highest vibration of our greater Self. Anything can be that sanctuary, anywhere, anytime. Where is yours?

THE SCRIBE DIODE - The Tributary Locus of the Sehirtu A Hearts Grave, and the Arcliera Fuser, is the Guarionex, the Scribe. The Scribe very much enjoys embodying the Recording Heart, by keeping a journal of all that it believes is important. These ideas are written in an astral-book, kept within the diode being itself. Guarionex believes that, it will have the opportunity to read this journal aloud, before an audience, in the Recording Heart. But the Scribe reminds us that the performance will be very short, because the book is filled with only "the most important things."

THE SEHIRTU A HUMMING BIRD - A Humming Bird became close friends with the Arcliera Ivo Musa, and believed that he is her Tributary Locus. She has command of time and space itself, but only for herself. She has traveled to the past, to help those she can, and defies the laws of Tolmalok by using her imagination. Though we are creatures of the 3rd dimension, we have some capacity to transcend time and space, just as a Humming Bird has done. What we do with that power is directly related to our understanding of the quiet voice. In order to transcend time and space, you have to be here, now.

THE SEHIRTU AN ATOMIC HOODY - Atom has mastered the art of the "suspense state"; a moment in time where all available choices are laid out, and the repercussions of each can be seen plainly. This allows Atom to make decisions that write his future with more autonomy. In the exploration of the suspense state, Atom learned that every decision comes with consequences, and to be haunted by what we have chosen to do or not do, is one of many paths to madness. As he has said, it is best to "pick the path, and then move forward".

THE SEHIRTU A SLEEPING WITCH - The Witch enjoys sleeping. So much so that she missed much of what went on in the world around her. Groggily, she awakens, and in a halfway dreaming state, goes seeking her purpose inspired by her dreams and nightmares. The inner world of a Sleeping Witch belongs only to her, though what she does in the outside world is informed by it. There are many states to consciousness, and there is a part of you that is feeling, thinking, and doing in ways you may not be aware of consciously.

THE SORROW SWORD - Is the Light from a Narrow Door, perceived by those who can only perceive it as the Sorrow Sword. In other words, it is a weapon, to use against the darkness, to wield, to lose, and to pine for. To feel unsafe without; to feel empowered with. A tool can only be used in the manner by which it is understood. The limitations of even that which is infinite come from us - for are we not ourselves, finite?

THE STRANGER - John Laudanum is the Stranger. Some consider him one of the Amurax, but by the authority of the Long Lady: "No way." John believes he is just "passing through" this reality, and so feels disconnected from it. He believes that he exists in some other way, in some other place, outside of the Earworm. John is both free from the suffering of feeling entrapped by existence, but in some way, is also not part of it. Though that is his experience, the truth may be another matter.

THE TEMPLE OF NOTHING - Those that come to worship Oblivion often create a place of worship. They have chosen the Long Lady as their god. Because Oblivion is the reflection of being, what it actually is, is nothing. The opposite of being is not-being. If it does not exist, what exactly is there to worship? The only way to contemplate non-being is by being. And so there it is.

THE THOUGHT FORM - Tomokava Blue-Stellar is one of few thought-forms roaming the frequencies of the Earworm. It arises from a conscious mind, aware of itself, aware of being. What it perceives is the truth, if it believes it. The thoughts we have are the narrations of our story. They are our experience, and with their power, construct what we believe is our reality.

THE TRIBUTARY LOCUS - Sometimes, in a lifetime, you meet someone with whom you write a shared destiny. Your higher Self is their higher Self, joined somewhere close to the Recording Heart. We may not even enjoy the company of our locus, just ask an Atomic Hood and Avenue Cross - they can barely stand one another. You may, on the other hand, know them so deeply that the only feeling between you is love. A love so deep that it transcends any boundary that stands between you. It is the feeling of completion, of oneness that cannot be explained. Either way, you met for an important reason, and at the back end of creation, that reason is understood. For now, one must only travel the road with one's companions, and as the story unfolds, the truth of their being, and yours, will unfold. Then you will understand.

THE TROUBLED KING GIER - Gier, once a mechanic, fought against the seductive power of Thagirion for his son, Gremory. Then, he took his force of working niru, and defied the violence of Gol. Through the power of his spirit, Gier became a king. There is often one individual upon whom all of our hopes, and fears, are heaped. The one who takes up the task to protect us, to find a way forward when all hope is lost. One who has made it their purpose to protect, because there is something worth protecting. Perhaps you know who they are... perhaps that person is you. Heavy is the unseen crown.

THE UPPER FREQUENCIES - Where the oscillation of reality begins to quicken, you will find some of the more abstract beings that are acquainted with the lore of the Recording Heart. The Diode, the Sehirtu; the ethereal faeries, thought-forms, and other transcendent beings. In the upper frequencies, you may still witness the darkness, you may still see and feel the lower frequencies. But they can do nothing to you. You are in a new place, vibrating with ever increasing frequency. Something from within begins to pour itself outward, a power that only continues to grow. It is so strong, and undeniable, that reality begins to bend to it. Have you ever felt it? Would you like to?

THE WANDERER - They are the other, the one you always see, who doesn't stay long enough for you to ask their name. They move from one place to another, and have never called any place their home. It feels lonely, to imagine them moving throughout creation, an itinerant vagabond, no more familiar than the Stranger. But the wanderer is free to move, to experience; they belong to the world and little else. There is so much to explore.

THE WATCHER FROM THE FIFTH - Have you ever looked at a photograph of yourself, and remembered the moment it was taken? The place, the company you were with; what you felt then, and how you feel about it now? The watcher from the fifth does the same, to you. Take a moment and say hello. What will you feel, when you look back on all of the moments, all at once, from a time that is infinite, and a place that is everywhere?
