The Living Receiver is chosen to guide the Artifact into position for its journey back to the Primary Universe :: No one knows how or why a Receiver will be chosen... The Living Receiver is often blessed with a Fourth Dimensional Powers :: These include increased strength, telepathy, mind control and the ability to conjure memories of the future :: The Living Receiver is often tormented by terrifying dreams, visions and auditory hallucinations during his time within the Tangent Universe :: Those surrounding the Living Receiver, known as the Manipulated, will fear him and try to destroy him...

Water and Metal are the key elements of Time Travel :: Water is the barrier element for the construction of Time Portals used as gateways between Universes as the Tangent Vortex :: Metal is the transitional element for the construction of Artifact Vessels... A Prophecy is found in the Sahara :: The long forgotten language of Ptolemy's metal machine, the "Organon Parallacticon" in Alexandria :: "The boy who was murdered now mended, the crownless again shall be King."

The Primary Universe is fraught with great peril. War, plague, famine and natural disasters are common :: The Fourth Dimension of Time is a stable construct, though it is not impenetrable :: Incidents when the fabric of the fourth dimension becomes corrupted are incredibly rare... The linear paradigm of Time as a single "line" is a theory constantly in need of correction :: Potential energy may build in the local collective unconscious, leading to wave interference from a Parallel Universe... If a Tangent Universe occurs, it will be highly unstable, sustaining itself for no longer than several weeks :: Eventually it will collapse inward upon itself, forming a Black Hole within the Primary Universe capable of destroying all existence... A Clock of Spirals and Spheres...A Compass pointing eight ways...Not a calendar counting the years...The Gears of the Clockwork and Eight Compass hands are carved to be spun directly from stone... In the heart of this stone a firestorm flows from the eye of one star to the other... The Stone has been turned :: The Clock Dragons' spoken... and there are none now that live who recall they were woken...For it is the doom of men, that they forget... Return the Crystal Skull :: Return what you have stolen from the People of the Forest :: The Aztec Compass will bring you great danger :: Arguments increase your crime :: No power on Earth can conquer Time...

In Nanda Parbat, the Ancient Tibetan method of sending an encoded message from the mind of the one through the mind of the many is here revealed... — London A. Dark, “ZaZen Secrets from the Dark”

When a Tangent Universe occurs, those living nearest to the Vortex, will find themselves at the epicenter of a dangerous new world :: Artifacts provide the first sign that a Tangent Universe has occurred :: If an Artifact occurs, the Living will retrieve it with great interest and curiosity :: Artifacts are formed from metal, such as an Arrowhead from an ancient Aztec civilization, or a Metal Sword from Medieval Europe :: Artifacts returned to the Primary Universe are often linked to religious Iconography, as their appearance on Earth seems to defy logical explanation :: Divine intervention is deemed the only logical conclusion for the appearance of the object, image or artifact. “All that is gold does not glister, Not all those who wander are lost. The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes, a fire was woken, A light from the shadows did spring. Renewed is the blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king...” - - - J.R.R. Tolkien

When the Manipulated awaken from their Journey into the Tangent Universe, they are often haunted by the experience in their dreams :: Many of them will not remember :: Those who do remember the Journey are often overcome with profound remorse for the regretful actions buried within their Dreams, the only physical evidence buried within the Artifact itself, all that remains from the lost world... In the Otherworld of the Celts and in the Underworld of Ancient Egypt, dreams were seen as a means of seeing into other worlds and it was thought that the soul moved out of the body of the sleeping person and actually visited the places and persons the dreamer saw in their sleep. Journey's end found distant light :: foreshadowing another night :: Mirrored deep in finite time :: Icing grey in silver rhyme :: Echoed days so nearly dead ::  Began to burn inside my head :: Shadow wind and firelight ::  Forgotten to eternal night ::   Conjured hell in heaven's eye :: And took my childhood to die ::  Blacken day o sunless sky :: Let no white winged creature fly... Crack all stone and graves of men...  I am born :: I come again...

The Manipulated Living are often the close friends and neighbors of the Living Receiver :: They are prone to irrational, bizarre and often violent behavior... This is the unfortunate result of the task of The Manipulated Living, which is to assist the Living Receiver in returning the Artifact to the Primary Universe :: The Manipulated Living will do anything to save themselves from Oblivion, War, Pollution and Famine, the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse...

Dark the power to stop time, and to follow any certain sequential particles or waves in the form of Tachyon Cascades, usually moments ensconced as a pentangle around any transpiring scene, 5 dimensions into the past or into the future in search of clues.” —— from “London A. Dark :: ZaZen Gay Detective :: Chapter 5 :: “Dark Origins and the Engines of Dream”
