- Visions
- We know the wonders which the ancient oracles saw with their omphaloi, during those first days of multiversal communication.
- We know, that the ancient Olympiad was created in order to celebrate these wonders – honouring the many, and uniting the worlds in a spirit of unity.
- But we also know the terrible things, which the ancient oracles saw with their omphaloi.
- We know, that the agonothetai designed many of the traditions of the ancient Olimpiado not only to celebrate - but also to be careful. They tried to prevent the hugest terrible thing from occurring in their own world.
- And we know which terrible events can still occur today, when the worlds fail to keep and honour these great traditions.
- The First Catastrophe and the New Catastrophe
- In 500 BC and in 1815 AD, the worlds finished.
- First the oracles, and then the scientists watched with their omphaloi. They watched the end of other worlds.
- Great fires burnt. The earth was shaken. Seas leapt out of their ways. Everything collapsed – and was then pulled again into totally new shapes.
- Pangaea, the form from which all differences came, returned but this time in a new form. Neopangaea. The oracles and the scientists watched these things – the changes revealed before their own eyes.
- And after the great destruction, a strange mix of survivors roamed in a single continent surrounded by a single sea. They wandered, seemingly for ages, until few survivors remained that mostly differences collapsed again (?), and Neopangaea was a single world once again.
