| That was really fun, huh? Just a bit further, the reader is introduced to the idea of “alien worlds inside our brains”: “Suddenly I myself became possessed of a kind of augmented sight. Over and above the luminous and shadowy chaos arose a picture which, though vague, held the elements of consistency and permanence. It was indeed somewhat familiar, for the unusual part was superimposed upon the usual terrestrial scene much as a cinema view may be thrown upon the painted curtain of a theatre. I saw the attic laboratory, the electrical machine, and the unsightly form of Tillinghast opposite me; but of all the space unoccupied by familiar material objects not one particle was vacant. Indescribable shapes both alive and otherwise were mixed in disgusting disarray, and close to every known thing were whole worlds of alien, unknown entities. It likewise seemed that all the known things entered into the composition of other unknown things, and vice versa. Foremost among the living objects were great inky, jellyish monstrosities which flabbily quivered in harmony with the vibrations from the machine. They were present in loathsome profusion, and I saw to my horror that they overlapped; that they were semi-fluid and capable of passing through one another and through what we know as solids. These things were never still, but seemed ever floating about with some malignant purpose.” (3) Well, that should suffice I think, to give a real in depth perspective on pre-Hollywood sci-fi, which led the way to future ideas like Adrenochrome (brain stimulant derived and harvested from the suffering sacrificed children, while they are still in their harvesting prime, in aid to the reptilian overlords, of course. In conclusion of this, Hunter S. Thompson wrote about Adrenochrome in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, in the footnotes in chapter April, page 140, he says: “It was sometime after midnight in a ratty hotel room and my memory of the conversation is haze, due to massive ingestion of booze, fatback, and forty cc's of adrenochrome.” The scene also appeared in the film adaptation and director Terry Gilliam stated that scene was a fictional exaggeration and that the drug was entirely fictional and was not even aware there was a drug that existed by the same name. Now, if Hollywood is keeping this a secret, it’s not doing a very good job, for sure. From wiki: “The harvesting of an adrenal gland from a live victim to obtain adrenochrome for drug abuse is a plot feature in the first episode Whom the Gods would Destroy, of Series 1 of the British TV series Lewis (2008). “In Anthony Burgess’ 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange, “drencrom” (presumably the Nadsat term for adrenochrome) is listed as one of the potential drugs that can be added to Moloko Plus (milk laced with a drug of the consumer's choice) at the Korova Milk Bar. “In Fear The Walking Dead season 3 episode 14, “During the show, Nick and Troy took a very strange drug. It was described as an actual human brain stem that contained chemicals from the adrenal gland.” (4) |
I wanted to raise this issue here because it may seem moot to most folks, but there are real people who are smart, research and believe in conspiracies, who are not Christian, and currently believe that this is really happening. In 1921, H.P. Lovecraft wrote The Nameless City, which many consider the first Cthulhu Mythos story. This story was the first in American literature to describe an antediluvian race of serpent rulers, who controlled early humanity. This is shortened for space considerations: “I awaked just at dawn from a pageant of horrible dreams, my ears ringing as from some metallic peal. I saw the sun peering redly through the last gusts of a little sandstorm that hovered over the nameless city, and marked the quietness of the rest of the landscape. Once more I ventured within those brooding ruins that swelled beneath the sand like an ogre under a coverlet, and again dug vainly for relics of the forgotten race.” “All at once I came upon a place where the bed-rock rose stark through the sand and formed a low cliff; and here I saw with joy what seemed to promise further traces of the antediluvian people. Hewn rudely on the face of the cliff were the unmistakable facades of several small, squat rock houses or temples; whose interiors might preserve many secrets of ages too remote for calculation, though sandstorms had long since effaced any carvings which may have been outside. “As I crept along the corridor toward the brighter light I saw later stages of the painted epic—the leave-taking of the race that had dwelt in the nameless city and the valley around for ten million years; the race whose souls shrank from quitting scenes their bodies had known so long, where they had settled as nomads in the earth’s youth, hewing in the virgin rock those primal shrines at which they never ceased to worship. Now that the light was better I studied the pictures more closely, and, remembering that the strange reptiles must represent the unknown men, pondered upon the customs of the nameless city. Many things were peculiar and inexplicable. The civilisation, which included a written alphabet, had seemingly risen to a higher order than those immeasurably later civilisations of Egypt and Chaldaea, yet there were curious omissions. I could, for example, find no pictures to represent deaths or funeral customs, save such as were related to wars, violence, and plagues; and I wondered at the reticence shewn concerning natural death. It was as though an ideal of earthly immortality had been fostered as a cheering illusion.
