Good Day Cultists,
As we all know, the true curse of mortality does not spring from our inevitable death, but rather from out linear perception of time itself. It is truly a curse in itself to have to spend all of our lives living and learning only just to die and force the next generation to live and learn what we did, only to to learn just a bit more before the same fate befalls them as well. It is from this inability to continually learn the secrets of life without any sort of stop that exceptionally handicaps us as a species from true immortality. But what if this wasn’t the case? What if it already isn’t the case, though just not for us. For this week’s discussion we invite you to throw your hat into the fray, and tell us what you think about time linearity. how do you think the Old Ones perceive time? Is this what allows them to be the true rulers of life itself? Do you think that the perception of time is simply a by product of the human condition?
We would love to hear from you. That is not dead which can eternal lie.

Time is an interesting concept. In my opinion, time is linear because that's how our space continuum perceives it. Our reality works in this foundation. Other realities, or planes may differ. To be able to break this veil, and enter a world without time, would mean a place without space. It is like heat and cold. One can't exist without the other as a possibility. What exits which is without form? The Void. Time does not exist to the Old Ones, or at least it doesn't until they enter a reality which is bond to those laws, and even then they have the power to manipulate it. It sounds complex, but once you can accept such an idea, it makes information regarding the Old Ones easier to learn. We live in the dream of Azathoth yes? Dreams don't feel like the hours you are dreaming do they? No. A dream may feel like minutes, and suddenly it's 5am instead of the 11pm you went to sleep. Should work the same way for Azathoth then I would think. Different dreams have different amounts of time which they continue. I hope this made some sense.
