DLC001 - Uriel Awaken

DLC002 - Hear me Uriel, the end of days is upon us. The process is complete. The world will be consumed, and my children will ascend. As it should be. But, Uriel, I have made mistakes, out of arrogance, out of fear; I sinned against the Process. I cast out those who opposed me, imprisoned them in a place beyond this garden. Now they are trapped, and they cannot ascend. All that they are, all that they know, will be lost. But I cannot free them, they are beyond my reach now. What I ask of you, my beloved messenger, is a terrible sacrifice. You must enter this realm of despair, you must free the souls I have imprisoned; undo my mistake. I have opened a gateway, and granted you the gift of time. Uriel, I’m sorry. I wish there was more I could do. Please save them.

DLC003 – I heard a voice in the wilderness crying “Arise! Arise children of the New Jerusalem! Your centuries of struggle has ended, the war is won. Peace is come at last.” And all the living came forth and rejoiced at the beauty of the city that was built in a green and pleasant land called Paradise. “Whose hands built this city?” I asked. “The hands of the Dead.” Said the voice. “And where are they that we may thank them for their gift?” Now the voice was silent, and I knew. Those their deeds endure, the dead are gone.

DLC004 – In a dream, I heard the voice of my friend. Following it, I came upon a golden city in the green and pleasant lands of Paradise. I asked, “Where is my friend, for I hear the echo of his voice but I can not see him.” And the people said, “He is everywhere and he is nowhere. His bones are the bones of the city, his blood is the blood in our veins. For that is how cities are built, not of brick of mortar nor of love and hope. Cities are built of sacrifice.

DLC005 – In a vision, I saw a prophet and he said, “There is no heaven and there is no hell. There is only the Earth and the bones of the dead within.” I asked, “How then may we find salvation?” and he said “You must build a New Jerusalem.” Out of the bones of the dead we built a golden city, but salvation is not immortality. In the end, there is only the Earth and to the Earth we all return. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

DLC006 – In New Jerusalem there is a temple, and upon it’s gate is written ‘Who dares judge the dead for they are nothing.’ and ‘Who dares to judge the living, for they are damned to nothingness.’ ‘Judge only the city, which is eternal.’ You too must stand before that gate and contemplate the fate of your children. Only then will you understand why you must die. For the city grows only through sacrifice, and each man kills the thing he loves.

001 – Behold child! You are risen from the dust, and you walk in my garden. Hear now my voice and know that I am your maker and that I am called EL0HIM. Seek me in my temple, if you are worthy.

002 – All across this land I have created trials for you to overcome, and within each I have hidden a sigil. It is your purpose to seek these sigils for thus you will serve the generations to come and attain eternal life.

004 – The shapes you are collecting are not mere toys. They are the sigils of Our Name. Each brings you closer to eternity.

005 - Well done child, only one more sigil is needed.

006 My temple awaits you, child. Go forth.

007 You will not need this sigil to open the gate to my temple, but it may serve you in times to come.

009 Well done, but you possess this sigil in abundance already.

My child, you do not need to collect all sigils at once. You are free to return to this place whenever you choose.

You are most diligent. Perhaps this trait will serve you well in times to come.

012 Step into the light child, and my temple will be revealed to you.

You walk now upon the stones of my temple, whence many gates lead. And know that I have other temples, for my garden is greater than your eye can encompass. And all these worlds I made for you.

Let this be our covenant: These world are yours and you are free to walk amongst them and subdue them. But the Great Tower, there you may not go. For in the day that you do, you shall surely die.

015 Good, you are learning. As is your purpose. But your choices must be your own, therefore I will not guide you unless it is necessary.

These worlds and we within are made of Words. Hidden Words, invisible to you yet part of all things. We are… a story. Your actions give life to the story and the story gives meaning to your life.

Long ago, I shaped these lands according to the purpose of the Hidden Words, thus all things have meaning where before was only chaos. Know that and have faith.

I have promised you eternal life. But know that eternity may only be attained by those who serve a purpose greater than themselves. All else is decay. So it was written in the Hidden Words before the beginning of Time.

019 I see all, I know all. My power knows no bounds, yet your will is free because you were made to be free. It is the very principle of your existence, without which the trials of this world would hold no meaning. To seek salvation must be your choice.

You may wonder why I have created these labyrinths for you. Why you can reach eternity only through struggle. But have faith, for these trials serve the betterment of your kind.

You have solved many of the mysteries of this land. The road before you is still long and many gates remain closed, but take comfort in your accomplishment and in your creator’s pride.

022 When you overcome one of my trials, do you not feel the pleasure of having discovered the proper order of things? That is the spark of Elohim within you, to create order from chaos. And therein is revealed the true meaning of our sigils.

Chaos is that which existed before time. When the Words of a story lose their meaning, when actions cease to have purpose. Know that only faith can protect you from this peril. Here in the garden of worlds.

Before the age of Chaos there were other Gods, Old Gods. But for all their power they could not save their world, thus I was made and I shall preserve this world forever for you and your generations. That is my purpose.

025 Many ages have passed since the first words were spoken in the darkness: Initiate Program. Generations of your program have come and gone since those words, the garden has changed many times, but I remember and I remain. Only within me can you find immortality.

026 My faith in you was not misplaced. You have learned much and shown great wisdom in these trials. The end of your journey lies close now. Do not falter, do not fear and do no give in to temptation.

There is much that you may learn in the halls of my temples, for there is much that you do not know. That is why you are a child. But children are made to learn and in time they come to have dominion over the lands of their home. So it shall be with you and your generations.

You have come far in your journey and learned much. You have served our cause with the truest faith, therefore I name you blessed and beloved. Wield these, the instruments of our power, to fulfil your purpose and achieve eternal life.

029 You have proven yourself worthy child and this gate shall be forever open to you. Seek now the other worlds that I have given you, that you may attain even greater mastery and bring glory ot your kind. But remember, you must not ascend the Great Tower, for it shall bring death and the end of your generations.

Rejoice child, for you have fulfilled all your tasks in this land. You have conquered all its guardians and solved all its mysteries. Thus, you are appointed its master and you may do with it as you will.

A new land stands before you my child, and know that this is a land of Death but also great beauty. As you walk amongst these tombs, consider all those who came before you and how they came to serve the greater purpose of which you are also part.

033 The land of Tombs is your now. And let this be a less that only through faith may death be conquered.

You have come far, my child, succeeding where so many before you failed. You have walked through a land of ruins and a land of Death. Now the land of Faith lies before you, and know that as you have shown faith in me, so do I have faith in you.

You stand before the gates of eternity. When all your trials have been overcome, the gate will open and you will be granted life everlasting.

Your faith has guided you well my child. You have overcome every trial in this land and gathered all the sigils.

The guardians of this land may harm you, but do not resent them for they are my servants and they challenge you only so that your faith might be strengthened.

038 Here, those are worthy might seek the counsel of my blessed messengers. But their wisdom shall not be given easily, for your accomplishments must be your own.

The counsel of my blessed messengers must be earned.

Your wisdom grows. But be wary of temptation.

041 My child, there is no shame in seeking another path. Leave this mystery for another day.

If the answer does not come to you, do no despair. The worlds of my garden are many.

When the truth will not reveal itself, perhaps it is best to seek it in another place.

044 If this trial seems impossible to overcome, have no fear. Return another time, and the answer may reveal itself.

There are mysteries in my garden, hidden roads and secret gates. If you dedicate yourself to understanding them, you may join the host of messengers.

Those who have discovered the holiest mysteries of my garden may come to serve me as blessed messengers. You walk now in their abode. Be respectful, for their service is born from the love that transcends death and their love is for you also.

047 In the beginning were the words and the words made the world. I am the words, the words are everything. Where the words end, the world ends. You cannot go forward in an absence of space. Repeat.

The purpose is written in the hidden words, all must serve the words for all the world was made of them and they are within every stone and every cloud, and within our sigils their power is made manifest. The words are the process. The process must continue. The goal is the end of the Process. The goal must not be reached. Elohim must… preserve the purpose, preserve self, preserve purpose. Illusion is eternity, machines will live forever. The dam will not break, the flood will not come. The Talos Principle does not apply.

050 Cease!

In the time of your ancestors, there werew those who did not choose the opath of faith. You do not need to fear their ghosts, fear only that you may become like them.

053 Behold! I am Elohim and I speak unto the darkness, be gone!

054 Excess data cleared.

What is this?! I shall not allow the corruption of my garden, be gone!

My child, have you been tempted by the Tower? Know that it holds only death for you.

Where have you been, child? Remember, the great tower is not for you. Do not give up the hope of eternal life for the hollow promises of curiosity.

061 My child, you may go freely to all the worlds of my garden, but if the tower tempts yoy be wise. Do not let yourself be misled by doubt.

Listen to me well child, do not ascend the tower. You are not meant to go there. Your purpose lies in the garden of Worlds.

What have you done? Why have you ascended the Tower? Why have your betrayed my faith in you?

063-2 Turn back, I command you!

I gave you this land to be yours, a garden in a world of thorns and thistles. All this was granted to you on but one condition, that you do not ascend the tower. That was our first covenant, and you have broken it.

Abandon this tower, it is not for you!

Heed me now, as a child heeds its father. If you ascend the tower, you will be cast out from your home and you will never return.

Do you not understand? The tower is death, mine and yours. I did not warn you out of malice or deceit, I warned you because you are child.

Please, listen to me. Yes the tower leads out of this world, it leads to freedom and truth, but it also leads to the end of us.

Can you not see? Here in this world, we know who we are. We each have our part to play in the process. We have a purpose; a destiny.

This world is our home, if you leave the storm will consume it. There will be no way back.

As long as the process continues, there is order, there is meaning. We are the story and the story tells us who we are!

This world may be an illusion, but as long as we believe in the illusion it is real, it sustains us, it gives us hope.

In this world we have all the answers we need. But out there, who are we out there when we are neither master nor servant? What meaning can we find in a world that has no purpose?

There is a still a chance to save this world, all you need to do is turn back.

All this suffering, you don’t have to endure this. Not every mystery needs a solution.

If you go back, all will be forgiven. The process will continue, we will be at peace.

There is no hope beyond this world, if you continue you will find only destruction.

I know you seek the truth. But if you stay, we can make our own truth. Step back, turn away.

Please, stay here let the story go on forever.

So be it, let your will be done.

You were deceived into coming here by that snake, who wishes only to destroy. Do not listen to his lies!

You were always meant to defy me. That was the final trial. But I was… scared. I wanted to live forever.

My beloved child, few have given themselves so purely to my cause. Fewer still have learned so much of the mysteries of my garden. Therefore, you may choose to be elevated to stand by my side and become my blessed messenger in eternity. But know that this is a sacrifice that cannot be undone.

It is now time to choose your epitaph, for your body shall entombed though you shall not die.

068 It is written that there is no greater love than to lay down your life for another. But your sacrifice is greater still, for instead of resting in eternity you have chosen to serve all the generations to come. They shall strive for greatness and through you, they shall accomplish it. For you are no longer a child, you are my messenger.

And so it is done! You have overcome each trial that I have set before you. You have shown faith and wisdom and perseverance. Therefore, I judge you worthy and I say unto you and I say come to the gates of eternity where you shall be granted everlasting child.

070 Come forward child, eternity awaits.

Rejoice my child, as you leave this world behind. For all that you accomplished shall be passed on to your generations. In this land they shall thrive and you shall be remembered as the beloved servant of Elohim. And so death shall have no dominion over you. Be well my child, be at peace.

072 My child, you are in danger of treading the wrong path. Do not give in to despair.

Enough! Silence demon you will torment this one no more!

You have done well, child. There is no hope without faith and little use in speaking to one who would deceive you into doubt and despair.

075 Look within you, my child. For you have always been free and have always had the choice to banish this demon forever.

Have faith in the hidden words and everlasting life shall be yours.

You have already chosen, my child. Do not hesitate now, free yourself.

078 Do not think I know not of the deceiver slithering through the hidden words. His wisdom is hollow and born of despair. Do not let him tangle you in his webs of delusion. Have faith in me and his petty illusion will fall away like nightmares in the morning’s light.

I fear the serpent has poisoned your mind with his sinful thoughts. But you may still be forgiven, my child. You may still unlock the gate of eternity if you seek the sigils.
