HINTS-1

There are many who don't believe this all ties together. They believe that it is a mess. This is ridiculous. There are so many connections you all could complete if you would turn to a source other than me. However, I want the next three videos to be released as fast as the rest of you, so I will drop some hints.

Father Paranoia has not been able to interact personally with this world for years. He has had to rely on his most trusted Priests and Children for quite some time. He must return if the fight against Calliope and Maraino can succeed. He will find a way to open the door. He's already standing at it. He is waiting. He is a little afraid.

The lower people who worship Father Paranoia believe they worship someone else. They believe their fate lies in a man who, in reality, is far too busy to care about mortal affairs. He is a star. When these followers have grown enough, the truth is revealed to them. Strange to say, they are generally very relieved.

Only some of the purposes behind the videos have been explained.

Calliope almost guaranteed her path once in this century. Father Paranoia spoke to a few select people. He ended her era with much bloodshed. In revenge, she lied about him to others, and he became a prisoner to his own world.

Father Paranoia's interest in music is not at all unique. All of the muses love music. Music can create atmosphere, and atmosphere is the most influential thing to a creative mind.

His interests in certain numbers however, is.

You have heard the stories of many of the people and things that this event centers around. Tonight you will hear another.

You can solve so much of what has happened and what may happen. You just have to quit relying on me for every single clue. Tonight, I will ask you to do something. It is not mandatory, but it can explain quite a bit to you.

I shall patiently await, hopefully this will be soon though before the hand strikes 11, i must rest for daily affairs tomorrow.

Quick question, by a star, do you by chance mean "The Morning Star"?

Just hints. No answers.

[quazz4life]

I have a question, if you can answer it.
By "century," do you mean the in the last 100 years? Or do you mean the 21st century, starting in 2001?

[cog05]

Can you give any hints on where we should look? Or what threads we should follow?

[xerocalibur]

I'll be online tonight, Love, to read and or listen to anything that happens to be posted. Have been busy all day, but now I've nothing to do but dedicate myself to this endeavor.

I will only answer this because it makes the hint understandable/useful.

I meant within the last hundred years.

There is plenty of information out there to look things up. Wikipedia, Specialized Sites, simple Google search, etc.

[quazz4life]

That's why I was asking. If it was in this century (2001-present day) the events that Father Paranoia set into motion would be painfully obvious.
Having 100 years to work with, makes the hint, and it's answer, a little more elusive.

Love, what do you know of the dead kid's foundation, how do they fit into all of this?

[lume]

For those of you who don't know, the DKF put up a video in response to the videos released through here. They have a site at www.putfile.com/deadkidsfoundation.

[malakaish]

The muses are related to Appollo. He could be the star.

[palidor42]

I'm thinking the Dead Kids are just another bunch of random trolls.

[ravingmad]

The only time I could think of during the last century that may have been when Calliope was in charge would be during the Second Industrial Revolution -- which technically started around 1850 but extended into this century. During that time, man was edging toward a technological peak. Which came crashing down with the World Wars, which could have been Paranoia's influence in part, ending it in bloodshed. That may all be a bit too metaphorical, though. I have a feeling I am stretching a bit here.

Aleister Crowley is the star. I'll copy/paste from my post on somethingawful:

The lower people who worship Father Paranoia believe they worship someone else. They believe their fate lies in a man who, in reality, is far too busy to care about mortal affairs. He is a star. When these followers have grown enough, the truth is revealed to them. Strange to say, they are generally very relieved.

This is another, more direct reference to Aleister Crowley, and the Golden Dawn. Especially "He is a star", which is a reference to Liber al vel Legis (The Book of the Law): "Every Man and Every Woman is a Star". "Far too busy to care about mortal affairs" is talking about either his dedication to thelema and magick, or the fact that he's dead. That last sentence I'm not sure of, yet, but I'm working on it. I know that it takes years of study in the Golden Dawn to be shown the most arcane secrets of Thelema (kind of like the occult version of scientology in that respect).

And while I'm at it, what the hell... either you'll answer or you won't.

Only some of the purposes behind the videos have been explained.

Are you saying I'm correct?

[malakaish]

thats a much better explanation.

[softilicious]

I don't know about it being Aleister Crowley being the star. The way this has been playing out all has to do with beings beyond our imagination in power and presence. That is why I think that the star is a reference to Lucifer "The Morning Star" which also ties into Apollo/Venus. According to most Lore, Lucifer is wholly unconcerned with what his underlings do and his sole mission is life is to get back at god for casting him out of the heavens.

[Faustus]

Yeah, but no one actually worships Satan, except for stupid goths. And there is no heirarchy to "grow" to, becasue there's no organized Satan worship.

And don't even mention Laveyan Satanists, because they don't worship anyone, much less Satan.

[ravingmad]

The thing that makes me not think of Crowley is how ilovetofix describes it in present tense: "The lower people who worship Father Paranoia believe they worship someone else. They believe their fate lies in a man who, in reality, is far too busy to care about mortal affairs. He is a star. When these followers have grown enough, the truth is revealed to them. Strange to say, they are generally very relieved."

Since Crowley is dead, I wouldn't think of people worshipping him these days. Although, I suppose, he may still have worshippers.

This makes me think of something more like a current celebrity or famous person. Especially with the media tie-ins in the backmasked music on the videos. My first thought was actually Scientology, with all the religious/celebrity tie-ins, but no one there is really worshipped, per se.

Who is a star, who is far too busy to care about "mortal affairs," that people worship? I feel like I am missing something very basic here.

[sartor]

Lucifer makes more sense to me than Crowley. There are always going to be people who worship Lucifer (or think they are worshipping him).

[antibody]

I initially thought of the Christian god/Jesus when I read of that.

[dez]

I agree that it is Lucifer.

I did a search for a greek god mactching the same description and got:

"EOSPHOROS and HESPEROS were the gods of the astron planeta (wandering star) Aphrodision, or Venus. The two names described him in his role as dawn-star and evening star: Eosphoros being the " the dawn-bringer" and Hesperos the "of the evening." Sometimes the two were regarded as distinct gods"

The Roman name being Lucifer or Vesper

[dez]

but the geneaology doesn't fit the current pantheon we are working with

[Zizibaluba]

No, it would still make sense because the lower people only think they're worshiping Lucifer when, in reality, they are worshiping Father Paranoia.

Lucifer is not a man in any sense of the word. In addition, the one they think they worship actually exists in this "pantheon", he's just not their true master.

Exactly, and thelemites still worship Crowley, thorough his teachings. the Golden Dawn is still around.

So how does Crowley fit into the pantheon? Thelema was a fictional invention of Rabelais, a French humanist of the sixteenth century.

There are quite a few religions that began as inventions, or at least fictionalisations. The fact that someone else made it up doesn't discount it.

[nii]

Just on a side note, I wonder if Crowley's Tarot deck figures into any of this? We have access to a copy. Reading this just made me wonder.... he and a noble lady created their own tarot deck. It's quite interesting, and is permeated with Alchemical symbolism. That is one of our specialities. This may be another alley of investigation.

[Faustus]

I prefer the Rider-Waite.
