“All that flickers across the screen before us is nothing more than an illusion of activity, of change and process, and of things happening or stagnating. In truth it’s all just permutations of energy from within a vacuum in which such excitations shouldn’t even be possible. Of nothing in want of something in want of nothing.”
Casey Fisher, The Subtle Cause

“Those who have been pulled out of the calm tranquility of the void and trapped for life to a bodily existence have a single consolation: everything that lives, also dies. Sooner or later, the tragedy will be forever over. Every life is destined to return to the sweet nothing from which it emerged without its consent. This is our consolation.”
Selim Güre, The Occult of the Unborn
