An Angel came to me and said: `O pitiable, foolish young man! O
horrible! O dreadful state! Consider the hot,
burning dungeon thou art preparing for thyself to all Eternity, to which thou
art going in such career.'
I said, `Perhaps you will be willing to show me my eternal lot, and we will
contemplate together upon it, and see
whether your lot or mine is most desirable.'

Oh shit, we're in Hell now, looks familiar, where do we go from here ?

What is now proved was once only imagin'd.

The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
Of such great powers or beings there may be conceivably a
survival... a survival of a hugely remote period when...
consciousness was manifest, perhaps, in shapes and forms
long since withdrawn before the tide of advancing
humanity... forms of which poetry and legend alone have
caught a flying memory and called them gods, monsters,
mythical beings of all sorts and kinds...

Ad Meiomrum Cthulhi Gloriam
Words from a past master (aeon of Osiris) unmodified by context:
His Disciples ask him, saying to him: How do thou want us to fast, and how shall we pray? And how shall we give alms, and what diet shall we maintain? || Yeshua says: Do not lie, and do not practice what you hate— for everything is revealed before the face of the sky. For there is nothing concealed that shall not be manifest, and there is nothing covered that shall remain without being exposed.
The Book of Thomas
saying 6
Yeshua sees little children who are being suckled. He says to his Disciples: These little children who are being suckled are like those who enter the Sovereignty. || They say to him: Shall we thus by becoming little children enter the Sovereignty? || Yeshua says to them: When you make the two one, and you make the inside as the outside and the outside as the inside and the above as the below, and if you establish the male with the female as a single unity so that the man will not act masculine and the woman not act feminine, when you establish eyes in the place of an eye and a hand in the place of a hand and a foot in the place of a foot (and) an image°
in the place of an image— then shall you enter [the Sovereignty].The Book of Thomas
saying 22
Yeshua says: A person had guests. And when he had prepared the
banquet, he sent his slave to summon
the guests. He went to the first, he says to him: ‘My master invites thee.’ He
replies: ‘I owe some money to some
merchants; they are coming to me towards evening, I shall go to place an order
with them— I beg to be excused from the banquet.’ He went to another, he says to
him: ‘My master has invited thee.’ He replies to him: ‘I have bought a house and
they require me for a day, I shall have no leisure-(time).’ He came to another,
he says to him: ‘My master invites thee.’ He replies to him: ‘My friend is to be
married and I shall arrange a feast; I shall not be able to come— I beg to be
excused from the banquet.’ He went to another, he says to him: ‘My master
invites thee.’ He replies to him: ‘I have bought a villa; I go to receive the
rent, I shall not be able to come— I beg to be excused.’ The slave came, he said
to his master: ‘Those whom thou have invited to the banquet have asked to be
excused.’ The master says to his slave: ‘Go out to the roads, bring those whom
thou shall find so that they may feast.’ Tradesmen and merchants shall not enter
the places of my Father!
The Book of Thomas
saying 64
(Yeshua) says: A kind° person had a vineyard. He gave it out to cultivators, so that they would work it and he would receive its fruit from them. He sent his slave, so that the tenants would give to him the fruit of the vineyard. They seized his slave, they beat him— a little more and they would have killed him. The slave went, he told it to his master. His master said: Perhaps they did not recognize him. He sent another slave— the tenants beat him also. Then the owner sent his son. He said: Perhaps they will obey my son. Since those tenants knew that he was the heir of the vineyard, they seized him, they killed him. Whoever has ears, let him hear!

THE SECOND COMING
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
