[Artist] Everything I've tried
has only ever ended in complete disaster.
Who am I to complain though?
Things in the world seem to
grow more terrifying each day.
It's horrible, a complete nightmare.
If it is a dream,
then maybe one day we
can all wake up from it.
Sometimes it really does seem that way
and some dreams are so real
that when you wake up you can't believe it
because the dreams
seem more real than life.
Why do things have to be this way?
Why must people continue to suffer?
What will become of the world?
One can only ponder
and that's what I find
myself doing most of the day.
In my short life,
I can notice that the world
has changed a great deal.
The people have changed too.
They've lost their
innocence, their patience also.
But who can blame them,
as things just seem to be getting worse?
My life is a direct reflection of this.
What will become of me?
I find myself asking that
question more each day.
Maybe I don't really
want to know the answer.
Part of me wants things to just end,
as horrible as that
is, but I can't help it.
I'm overwhelmed by
everything, but I can feel it,
the suffering of the world.
Somehow, even if I'm removed from it.
But I don't doubt that's true
because I'm sure that
those who truly are in it
would tell me that I could
never truly know their pain.
But that's when the anxiety rises
because I fear that it may
be only a matter of time
before we get ours.
(soft instrumental music)
I try to resolve in my mind
just how things can be
made better in this world.
And lately, I just can't
seem to see how anything
can ever be okay or made better.
There's just too much, too much suffering.
The world is such a mess.
One big mess and my life is also a mess.
Just like many, I'm sure.
(soft instrumental music)
(dramatic music)
[TV Announcer] There
is war in this forest,
not a war that has been
fought or one that will be,
but any war.
(dramatic music)
And the enemies who
struggle here do not exist
unless we call them into being.
This forest then and all
that happens now is outside-
[Artist] I'm always
searching for that place.
But it's not just one place
because there are many.
It's possible that it's a
different time like a memory.
But a memory that's not my own.
Maybe a past life.
There is a familiarity to it,
it's an intensity that
can be overwhelming.
I see a village square in Europe somewhere
a long time ago, probably
in the Middle Ages.
The man leaves the village
and walks through the snow,
I guess to forage or maybe hunt.
There's a mystical feel
to the whole scene though
as if he were on some religious quest.
That's when the whole scene changes.
There's something he doesn't yet see.
There's something ominous and foreboding,
a darkness that he is moving into,
the darkness of the forest.

(birds chirping)
I've always yearned to
experience something different,
another person's life, their experiences
which are somehow always
better or more interesting.
And my mind would create these
experiences of random people,
which I've never even seen.
I could dream up entire
scenarios in their life,
places they're going,
things they're doing,
and it would always
change the feel of my day,
the mood completely changed.
And I can even remember
certain days from years ago,
what it looked like, and
felt like, and what I did,
which was usually completely uneventful.
It's terrifying to think
about, and also sad,
the vastness of these years
to just how uneventful they've been.
Maybe that's why.
It's like I was so desperate
that my mind searched for something
to experience different
than this sad and lonely life.
Everything in this world seems to be a lie
and the people are all
actors just playing a part.
Nothing is real.
(gentle instrumental music)
Then what role am I playing?
Because I just don't
go along with anything.
I used to, but I can't anymore.
It's like the people,
at least some of them,
are also aware that
they are just pretending
and they continue to
pretend because they're afraid
or maybe they just don't
know what else to do.
And what else is there?
If you don't participate,
then there's really no
place for you in society.
I guess that's what makes
me an outcast of society.
That's how I've always felt anyway.
Maybe that's just the life of an artist.
We exist on the periphery,
always on the outside looking in
and so we can see
things that others can't.
It's a lonely life though.
But I guess I never really had a choice.
It's only in the silence of
nature that I feel that I belong
because I really don't
belong in this world.
I can feel that other world
and I'm reminded of it.
That's how it happens.
I'll see something that
I know I've seen before.
It's deja vu.
When I was 16 and had
deja vu for the whole day,
I thought I was losing my mind.
I could see things starting to materialize
and form superimposed over
everything I was looking at.
It was like the dream world
was solidifying and forming
in this reality.
(eerie music)
And so I was remembering the dream,
which was predicting the next day.
I would become completely
overwhelmed by it
because I could feel everything
I was experiencing in the dream,
all the things that would
be forgotten the next day.
And then it's like it
would click into gear
and I could feel it take
hold like a sequence.
And I can feel it happening right now.
I've seen this before.
It's a recognition and it's uncanny,
but this is different 'cause
I know it wasn't a dream.
Now, I'm remembering.
It's amazing how that happens.
What I see reminds
me of what I've forgotten.
Was I out here?
It's like at some point I
became aware I was out here
and I was as aware as I am now,
but somehow I completely forgot about it.
This was not a dream, of that I'm certain.
I don't think this is the first
time it's happened either,
but why this area?
It's always this area.
Why do I keep coming back here?

[Streamer] Hey, guys, I just
wanted to come on here today
and make a little video for y'all.
I know there's a lot of stuff
going on, lots of crazy things
that are happening in the world right now.
I don't have to explain that to y'all.
Y'all are aware of that.
I just kind of wanted to touch base
and I wanted to mention I had some intel
from someone that came to me.
He seemed very unnerved.
That's how I would put it.
He, he kind of expressed
to me that there was about,
there was some stuff
that was about to go down
and it was gonna be unlike
anything we've ever seen before.
And I can't tell you who he is
or how I have made contact with him
as, as my own kind of intel source,
but I can tell you that he is legitimate.
This man, he, if there's anybody
that knows what's going on
with this, it's him.
And it seems like there's a lot of stuff
that's gonna be going, going on here
and coming down the pipe.
And you know, I just,
you know, I'm, I'm, I'm in my fifties now,
so I'm an older gentleman,
I guess, I'm past middle-age
and you know, in my whole,
all my years, my whole life,
I've never seen anything
like this, how things are going.
It's scary, you know, there's just, it's,
you can just feel it closing in.
It's all just closing in, man.
And I get to, I've gotten to a point
where I don't even know what to do.
I just gotta sort of, in
my mind I'm thinking
I'm just gonna hunker
down and try to wait this out.
But if what he says is true,
that means all hell is
about to break loose.
I don't want to go into detail on here.
Y'all know how this works.
I gotta be discreet about
things and I can't say too much,
but I just kind of want
to convey that to y'all.
I know it's rather vague,
but have y'all seen the sun lately?
The sun is, it's just, I
don't know if it's just me,
but it just seems different.
The lighting's different.
I used to look at it and
it had a golden glow.
Now, it's kind of got like a whitish.
It's, it's so bright you
can't even look at it.
Earlier in the day, it's
so hot it's like a laser.
And I mean I, I've heard people saying
that basically it's like a
laser, but this is different.
This you feel it on your skin.
Even in the winter, you
know, it's an intense light.
And it's just strange to me
and I, I heard a NASA scientist,
I saw a video recently
and I'll link it below.
He was saying something about,
well, this guy was an ex-NASA scientist,
and he was saying something
about the sun is changing.
I don't know if y'all heard about that,
but he said there's all these
kinds of changes happening
to the sun and it's putting
out more energy now.
I know it's like a solar
maximum or solar minimum.
I forget what he said,
but I don't know if y'all noticed that.
Let me know.
Well, anyway, that's about it.
I'll let y'all go.
Just hang in there, you
know, that's what I'm doing.
You just gotta hang tight,
and hope and pray we get through this.
Alright.

[Artist] "He made his
way along the winding path."
There seemed to be no end in sight
as it extended far out
beyond the visible horizon.
It was dusk now and the
golden light of the setting sun
behind him reassured
him of his heading East.
The ground was already becoming hard again
as the cold night set in.
He grabbed for his chalice
to drink his last drop of water
and licked his parched lips
desperately for any moisture.
He had been on a long journey now
and had lost track of
how many days it had been
nor could he recall either,
how long since he had last eaten
except for some berries along the way.
He pushed on, determined to
keep moving through the night
with very little rest.
Not until he would reach his pilgrimage.
He desperately pleaded though
that he would have a clear night
so that the stars in the
heavens might lead the way.
As the darkness descended upon him
there would be great unease
as there was every night
as a lonely traveler in a foreign land.
He hadn't seen another since
the last village he'd passed,
a good many days prior,
but this would come as a relief to him
as people had not been kind thus far.
(eerie music)
And he knew of the dangers
that awaited those like him
on such a journey as he found himself.
(eerie music)
The only thing he knew
was that he must push on.
It was imperative that he
reach his destination in due time.
This, his quest and
potential final journey,
which he accepted with great honor,
but not without hesitancy.
For he knew that such an honor
would only be bestowed upon those
that are deemed as
truly righteous and worthy
of such an ordeal in tasking.
He was advised never to
open the contents of the parcel
which was given to him to deliver.
He assumed it contained a holy fragment
recovered from the
ancient ruins left behind
from the great destruction.
But this was not for him to know.
(eerie music)
And he would never go
against his sacred orders.
But it was in the darkness
and silence of night
when the temptation would always arise
as he laid beside the
scarce warmth of the sad fire
as kindling and fuel grew sparse
in the barren desert wasteland
that he moved through each day.
The parcel, flickering
in the dancing light
of the tired flame,
beckoning him to peek inside.
This he resisted with all his might
as the voices of the
darkness grew with each night.
He would awaken at
dawn just like every other
with it buried under him,
"protecting it with his life and flesh."
(eerie music)
(gentle instrumental music)
(gentle instrumental music)
(somber instrumental music)
(somber instrumental music)
It's all just a big mess, my
life, the world, everything.
But then again, there are many
who seem to be doing great.
Is it because they just don't care?
How can they not look around
and see that the world is burning?
Are they just completely
unaware until it affects them?
It's only then when it
affects their own life
that they actually care.
They can only maintain the illusion
of their normal daily life in reality
until it is absolutely
impossible for them.
I dunno what will become of me
or how I can even continue on.
I don't understand why I'm even here.
And really, things only seem
like they're gonna get worse in the world.
So I don't know if I really
wanna be in this world anymore.
If this is how my life is gonna be,
then I don't think it's worth it.
I really don't.
I don't even know what
I'm doing anymore or why.
What's the point to this or anything?
Nothing really seems to matter anymore.
Why do I even paint?
I used to enjoy it and
most of the time I do,
but this really isn't about any of that.
It's this feeling I have
that I just can't scratch
and it's always there.
Things are just not right and
everything is just all wrong.
Is it my fault?
Did I make a mistake at some point
that led me to feel this way
and made my life the way that it is,
what can I do to change this?
I fear that there's nothing I can do
that it's just inevitable, that
I should continue to suffer
with no way out.
Because it's more than just my life.
It's everything.
It's the whole world.
Everything that's wrong with the world.
And what can I do to fix that?
Probably nothing and nothing
makes any sense either.
This day the world makes no sense.
Why are things just so awful?
Why do so many people have to suffer?
There's something that terrifies me
and it's that the feeling I have is a sign
of something much worse to come.
It's a horrible feeling like a
dark cloud coming towards me.
It's that dark cloud on the
horizon that truly scares me
because you can see it coming.
I'm not really sure what
that means but I can feel it.
It's the darkness.
That's what scares me the most.
And the fear is overwhelming.
The most awful feeling that there is.
There's no rationalizing.

It's only in fleeting moments
where I can catch a
glimpse of that reality.
It's all in the light.
I saw the light and it
completely overwhelmed me.
I was enveloped by it and became it.
There was no resisting it.
No hiding from it.
It overtook everything.
This place though, or
maybe the state of being
is right there in front of me.
Yet, it still can't be reached.

Frashokereti, Middle Persian.
(high-pitched buzzing)
In the ancients, they're
a rare stream of religion.
(high-pitched buzzing)
It deals with the destruction of evil
and the ultimate
restoration of the universe.
The good will be unified with God.
Ahura Mazda, the Zoroastrian God.
(high-pitched buzzing)
Once very long ago, all of
creation was truly good and pure.
And that over time, evil corrupted it.
It says that one day
good will prevail again
and all evil will be destroyed
to restore the world to perfection again.
Things will return to the perfect
state which they once were
in those early days of creation.
(high-pitched buzzing)
At the end of time,
there will be a great battle
between good and evil.
The good will be triumphant
and the dead will be resurrected.
There will then be a final judgment,
which will be through ordeal.
The mountains will crumble
and their metal will melt
and flow down like rivers
of lava across the earth.
All of the people,
those alive and those who
are dead but resurrected
must then make their
way through that river.
Those that are righteous
will not be harmed.
(high-pitched buzzing)
The wicked, however, will not be spared
and burned by the molten rivers which flow
down into hell To purify all evil.
It goes on to state
that the righteous will gain immortality.
(high-pitched buzzing)
(wind blowing)
(birds chirping)
(grass crunching)
(gentle music)
It's incomprehensible and it's not real.
It's just completely unreal.
I don't want it to be
true, but I know it is.
How can this be?
I have no proof, only a
knowing of what will happen
because I saw it, I felt it,
and it was more real than this,
right here, right now, and
what is right in front of me.
It was so real.
It was not a dream,
but a vision or prophecy.
I'm not exactly sure the
order which it will occur,
but what I saw is just so terrible.
There are no words for it.
It was just complete chaos.
People have no idea.
Chaos is the only word I can come up with.
It was hell on earth
and there was no sense
to be made of it at all.
Like all meaning, all order,
everything meant nothing
anymore and then all was lost.
(gentle music)
And it was like you were
forced to beg for it to just end
because it was all just so terrible
and the suffering was beyond unbearable.
I'm trying to make sense
of this, it's just impossible.
The only way I can try
to describe what I saw
was that somehow something changed.
There was some kind of a
shift on a metaphysical level
that altered the nature
of reality as I knew it.
And life on earth went from normal,
or what I only knew was normal,
and became something
else, something awful.
I can describe further
the events as best I can,
but it doesn't do it justice
because as terrible as those events were,
it doesn't describe the true nature
of that hellish reality and existence.
There was immense
destruction that was unavoidable
as though some force or something
had decided it was
time to end life on Earth.
What I saw was the
other side of life, its end,
its certain and final death.
Of all things, all life.
But it was something worse than that.
It was all existence.
And it was just utterly tragic.
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
Like this beautiful gift, the gift of life
and all things that are
beautiful, graceful, and pure,
all creation, was just suddenly taken away
and it was replaced by just
complete suffering and ugliness.
But again, the events that I was seeing,
as awful and unbearable as that was,
was still nothing
compared to what was felt.
The feeling or the
perception of such a reality
that was worse because
it was just sheer chaos.
And I struggled to even comprehend that.
It is the incomprehensible,
all meaning of any kind
was destroyed and ended.
And so you begged for that to end
because it was impossible to look away.
I know this is going to happen.
There's nothing anyone could
say to convince me otherwise.
I know no one will even believe me.
So there's no point in even trying.
It seems completely inevitable.
There is no stopping this.
It will happen.
And I already lived it and felt it.

[Officer] The wind.
(dramatic music)
Where did you find it?
[Captain Proteus] One of
the men did down with the river.
He was very busy baying at the moon.
[Officer] They have broke it,
aren't you ashamed of yourself
staying away without
lead for two old days?
An officer should know
how to control himself better.
Have a drink, Captain.
[Captain Proteus] Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
[Officer] You must never,
never do that again, Proteus,
don't you know that there
are evil spirits without bodies
who roam the forests looking
for unsuspecting dogs like you?
And that when you open
your jaws to disturb the moon,
why they leap into your
mouth and possess you,
then you could become-
(high-pitched buzzing)
(match striking)
[Artist] "And he said
to me, these are they",
which came out of great tribulation
and have washed their robes
and made them white
in the blood of the lamb.
Therefore, are they
before the throne of God
and serve Him day and night in His temple?
And He that sitteth on the
throne shall dwell among them.
They shall hunger no
more, neither thirst anymore,
neither shall the sun
light on them, nor any heat.
For the lamb, which is in the midst
of the throne shall feed them
and shall lead them unto
living fountains of waters.
And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes.
And when He had opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in
heaven about the space
of a half an hour.
(ethereal music)
And I saw the seven angels,
which stood before God,
and to them were given seven trumpets.
And another angel came
and stood at the altar
having a golden censer.
And there was given unto him much incense
that he should offer it
with the prayers of all saints
upon the golden altar,
which was before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense,
which came with the prayers of the saints,
ascended before God
out of the angel's hand.
And the angel took the censer
and filled it with fire of the altar
and cast it into the earth.
And there were voices, and
thunderings, and lightnings,
and an earthquake.
(ethereal music)
And the seven angels,
which had the seven trumpets,
prepared themselves to sound.
The first angel sounded
and there followed hail
and fire mingled with blood.
(ethereal music)
And they were cast upon the earth.
And the third part of
the trees was burnt up
and all green grass was burnt up.
(ethereal music)
And the second angel sounded,
and as it were a great
mountain burning with fire,
was cast into the sea.
And the third part of
the sea became blood.
And the third part of the creatures,
which were in the sea and had life died.
And the third part of
the ships were destroyed.
And the third angel sounded,
and there fell a great star from heaven
burning as it were a lamb.
And it fell upon the
third part of the rivers
and upon the mountains of waters.
And the name of the
star is called wormwood.
And the third part of the
waters became wormwood.
And many men died of the waters
because they were made bitter.
And the fourth angel sounded,
and the third part of the sun was smitten,
and the third part of the moon
and the third part of the stars.
So as the third part of them was darkened
and the day shown
not for a third part of it,
and the night likewise.
(ethereal music)
And I beheld and heard an angel
flying through the midst of heaven,
saying with a loud voice,
whoa, whoa, whoa to
the inhabitors of the earth.
By reason of the other
voices of the trumpet,
"of the three angels,
which are yet to sound."

Give us this day our daily bread,

as we forgive those who
have trespassed against us.
Lead us not to temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power,
and the glory forever and ever.
Amen.

[Artist] Everything I've tried
has only ever ended in complete disaster.
Who am I to complain though?
Things in the world seem to
grow more terrifying each day.
It's horrible, a complete nightmare.
If it is a dream,
then maybe one day we
can all wake up from it.
Sometimes it really does seem that way
and some dreams are so real
that when you wake up you can't believe it
because the dreams
seem more real than life.
Why do things have to be this way?
Why must people continue to suffer?
What will become of the world?
One can only ponder
and that's what I find
myself doing most of the day.
In my short life,
I can notice that the world
has changed a great deal.
The people have changed too.
They've lost their
innocence, their patience also.
But who can blame them,
as things just seem to be getting worse?
My life is a direct reflection of this.
What will become of me?
I find myself asking that
question more each day.
Maybe I don't really
want to know the answer.
Part of me wants things to just end,
as horrible as that
is, but I can't help it.
I'm overwhelmed by
everything, but I can feel it,
the suffering of the world.
Somehow, even if I'm removed from it.
But I don't doubt that's true
because I'm sure that
those who truly are in it
would tell me that I could
never truly know their pain.
But that's when the anxiety rises
because I fear that it may
be only a matter of time
before we get ours.
(soft instrumental music)
I try to resolve in my mind
just how things can be
made better in this world.
And lately, I just can't
seem to see how anything
can ever be okay or made better.
There's just too much, too much suffering.
The world is such a mess.
One big mess and my life is also a mess.
Just like many, I'm sure.
(soft instrumental music)
(dramatic music)
[TV Announcer] There
is war in this forest,
not a war that has been
fought or one that will be,
but any war.
(dramatic music)
And the enemies who
struggle here do not exist
unless we call them into being.
This forest then and all
that happens now is outside-
[Artist] I'm always
searching for that place.
But it's not just one place
because there are many.
It's possible that it's a
different time like a memory.
But a memory that's not my own.
Maybe a past life.
There is a familiarity to it,
it's an intensity that
can be overwhelming.
I see a village square in Europe somewhere
a long time ago, probably
in the Middle Ages.
The man leaves the village
and walks through the snow,
I guess to forage or maybe hunt.
There's a mystical feel
to the whole scene though
as if he were on some religious quest.
That's when the whole scene changes.
There's something he doesn't yet see.
There's something ominous and foreboding,
a darkness that he is moving into,
the darkness of the forest.

I've always yearned to
experience something different,
another person's life, their experiences
which are somehow always
better or more interesting.
And my mind would create these
experiences of random people,
which I've never even seen.
I could dream up entire
scenarios in their life,
places they're going,
things they're doing,
and it would always
change the feel of my day,
the mood completely changed.
And I can even remember
certain days from years ago,
what it looked like, and
felt like, and what I did,
which was usually completely uneventful.
It's terrifying to think
about, and also sad,
the vastness of these years
to just how uneventful they've been.
Maybe that's why.
It's like I was so desperate
that my mind searched for something
to experience different
than this sad and lonely life.
Everything in this world seems to be a lie
and the people are all
actors just playing a part.
Nothing is real.
(gentle instrumental music)
Then what role am I playing?
Because I just don't
go along with anything.
I used to, but I can't anymore.
It's like the people,
at least some of them,
are also aware that
they are just pretending
and they continue to
pretend because they're afraid
or maybe they just don't
know what else to do.
And what else is there?
If you don't participate,
then there's really no
place for you in society.
I guess that's what makes
me an outcast of society.
That's how I've always felt anyway.
Maybe that's just the life of an artist.
We exist on the periphery,
always on the outside looking in
and so we can see
things that others can't.
It's a lonely life though.
But I guess I never really had a choice.
It's only in the silence of
nature that I feel that I belong
because I really don't
belong in this world.
I can feel that other world
and I'm reminded of it.
That's how it happens.
I'll see something that
I know I've seen before.
It's deja vu.
When I was 16 and had
deja vu for the whole day,
I thought I was losing my mind.
I could see things starting to materialize
and form superimposed over
everything I was looking at.
It was like the dream world
was solidifying and forming
in this reality.
(eerie music)
And so I was remembering the dream,
which was predicting the next day.
I would become completely
overwhelmed by it
because I could feel everything
I was experiencing in the dream,
all the things that would
be forgotten the next day.
And then it's like it
would click into gear
and I could feel it take
hold like a sequence.
And I can feel it happening right now.
I've seen this before.
It's a recognition and it's uncanny,
but this is different 'cause
I know it wasn't a dream.
Now, I'm remembering.
It's amazing how that happens.
What I see reminds
me of what I've forgotten.
Was I out here?
It's like at some point I
became aware I was out here
and I was as aware as I am now,
but somehow I completely forgot about it.
This was not a dream, of that I'm certain.
I don't think this is the first
time it's happened either,
but why this area?
It's always this area.
Why do I keep coming back here?

[Streamer] Hey, guys, I just
wanted to come on here today
and make a little video for y'all.
I know there's a lot of stuff
going on, lots of crazy things
that are happening in the world right now.
I don't have to explain that to y'all.
Y'all are aware of that.
I just kind of wanted to touch base
and I wanted to mention I had some intel
from someone that came to me.
He seemed very unnerved.
That's how I would put it.
He, he kind of expressed
to me that there was about,
there was some stuff
that was about to go down
and it was gonna be unlike
anything we've ever seen before.
And I can't tell you who he is
or how I have made contact with him
as, as my own kind of intel source,
but I can tell you that he is legitimate.
This man, he, if there's anybody
that knows what's going on
with this, it's him.
And it seems like there's a lot of stuff
that's gonna be going, going on here
and coming down the pipe.
And you know, I just,
you know, I'm, I'm, I'm in my fifties now,
so I'm an older gentleman,
I guess, I'm past middle-age
and you know, in my whole,
all my years, my whole life,
I've never seen anything
like this, how things are going.
It's scary, you know, there's just, it's,
you can just feel it closing in.
It's all just closing in, man.
And I get to, I've gotten to a point
where I don't even know what to do.
I just gotta sort of, in
my mind I'm thinking
I'm just gonna hunker
down and try to wait this out.
But if what he says is true,
that means all hell is
about to break loose.
I don't want to go into detail on here.
Y'all know how this works.
I gotta be discreet about
things and I can't say too much,
but I just kind of want
to convey that to y'all.
I know it's rather vague,
but have y'all seen the sun lately?
The sun is, it's just, I
don't know if it's just me,
but it just seems different.
The lighting's different.
I used to look at it and
it had a golden glow.
Now, it's kind of got like a whitish.
It's, it's so bright you
can't even look at it.
Earlier in the day, it's
so hot it's like a laser.
And I mean I, I've heard people saying
that basically it's like a
laser, but this is different.
This you feel it on your skin.
Even in the winter, you
know, it's an intense light.
And it's just strange to me
and I, I heard a NASA scientist,
I saw a video recently
and I'll link it below.
He was saying something about,
well, this guy was an ex-NASA scientist,
and he was saying something
about the sun is changing.
I don't know if y'all heard about that,
but he said there's all these
kinds of changes happening
to the sun and it's putting
out more energy now.
I know it's like a solar
maximum or solar minimum.
I forget what he said,
but I don't know if y'all noticed that.
Let me know.
Well, anyway, that's about it.
I'll let y'all go.
Just hang in there, you
know, that's what I'm doing.
You just gotta hang tight,
and hope and pray we get through this.
Alright.

[Artist] "He made his
way along the winding path."
There seemed to be no end in sight
as it extended far out
beyond the visible horizon.
It was dusk now and the
golden light of the setting sun
behind him reassured
him of his heading East.
The ground was already becoming hard again
as the cold night set in.
He grabbed for his chalice
to drink his last drop of water
and licked his parched lips
desperately for any moisture.
He had been on a long journey now
and had lost track of
how many days it had been
nor could he recall either,
how long since he had last eaten
except for some berries along the way.
He pushed on, determined to
keep moving through the night
with very little rest.
Not until he would reach his pilgrimage.
He desperately pleaded though
that he would have a clear night
so that the stars in the
heavens might lead the way.
As the darkness descended upon him
there would be great unease
as there was every night
as a lonely traveler in a foreign land.
He hadn't seen another since
the last village he'd passed,
a good many days prior,
but this would come as a relief to him
as people had not been kind thus far.
(eerie music)
And he knew of the dangers
that awaited those like him
on such a journey as he found himself.
(eerie music)
The only thing he knew
was that he must push on.
It was imperative that he
reach his destination in due time.
This, his quest and
potential final journey,
which he accepted with great honor,
but not without hesitancy.
For he knew that such an honor
would only be bestowed upon those
that are deemed as
truly righteous and worthy
of such an ordeal in tasking.
He was advised never to
open the contents of the parcel
which was given to him to deliver.
He assumed it contained a holy fragment
recovered from the
ancient ruins left behind
from the great destruction.
But this was not for him to know.
(eerie music)
And he would never go
against his sacred orders.
But it was in the darkness
and silence of night
when the temptation would always arise
as he laid beside the
scarce warmth of the sad fire
as kindling and fuel grew sparse
in the barren desert wasteland
that he moved through each day.
The parcel, flickering
in the dancing light
of the tired flame,
beckoning him to peek inside.
This he resisted with all his might
as the voices of the
darkness grew with each night.
He would awaken at
dawn just like every other
with it buried under him,
"protecting it with his life and flesh."
(eerie music)
(gentle instrumental music)
(gentle instrumental music)
(somber instrumental music)
(somber instrumental music)
It's all just a big mess, my
life, the world, everything.
But then again, there are many
who seem to be doing great.
Is it because they just don't care?
How can they not look around
and see that the world is burning?
Are they just completely
unaware until it affects them?
It's only then when it
affects their own life
that they actually care.
They can only maintain the illusion
of their normal daily life in reality
until it is absolutely
impossible for them.
I dunno what will become of me
or how I can even continue on.
I don't understand why I'm even here.
And really, things only seem
like they're gonna get worse in the world.
So I don't know if I really
wanna be in this world anymore.
If this is how my life is gonna be,
then I don't think it's worth it.
I really don't.
I don't even know what
I'm doing anymore or why.
What's the point to this or anything?
Nothing really seems to matter anymore.
Why do I even paint?
I used to enjoy it and
most of the time I do,
but this really isn't about any of that.
It's this feeling I have
that I just can't scratch
and it's always there.
Things are just not right and
everything is just all wrong.
Is it my fault?
Did I make a mistake at some point
that led me to feel this way
and made my life the way that it is,
what can I do to change this?
I fear that there's nothing I can do
that it's just inevitable, that
I should continue to suffer
with no way out.
Because it's more than just my life.
It's everything.
It's the whole world.
Everything that's wrong with the world.
And what can I do to fix that?
Probably nothing and nothing
makes any sense either.
This day the world makes no sense.
Why are things just so awful?
Why do so many people have to suffer?
There's something that terrifies me
and it's that the feeling I have is a sign
of something much worse to come.
It's a horrible feeling like a
dark cloud coming towards me.
It's that dark cloud on the
horizon that truly scares me
because you can see it coming.
I'm not really sure what
that means but I can feel it.
It's the darkness.
That's what scares me the most.
And the fear is overwhelming.
The most awful feeling that there is.
There's no rationalizing.

It's only in fleeting moments
where I can catch a
glimpse of that reality.
It's all in the light.
I saw the light and it
completely overwhelmed me.
I was enveloped by it and became it.
There was no resisting it.
No hiding from it.
It overtook everything.
This place though, or
maybe the state of being
is right there in front of me.
Yet, it still can't be reached.

Frashokereti, Middle Persian.
(high-pitched buzzing)
In the ancients, they're
a rare stream of religion.
(high-pitched buzzing)
It deals with the destruction of evil
and the ultimate
restoration of the universe.
The good will be unified with God.
Ahura Mazda, the Zoroastrian God.
(high-pitched buzzing)
Once very long ago, all of
creation was truly good and pure.
And that over time, evil corrupted it.
It says that one day
good will prevail again
and all evil will be destroyed
to restore the world to perfection again.
Things will return to the perfect
state which they once were
in those early days of creation.
(high-pitched buzzing)
At the end of time,
there will be a great battle
between good and evil.
The good will be triumphant
and the dead will be resurrected.
There will then be a final judgment,
which will be through ordeal.
The mountains will crumble
and their metal will melt
and flow down like rivers
of lava across the earth.
All of the people,
those alive and those who
are dead but resurrected
must then make their
way through that river.
Those that are righteous
will not be harmed.
(high-pitched buzzing)
The wicked, however, will not be spared
and burned by the molten rivers which flow
down into hell To purify all evil.
It goes on to state
that the righteous will gain immortality.
(high-pitched buzzing)
(wind blowing)
(birds chirping)
(grass crunching)
(gentle music)
It's incomprehensible and it's not real.
It's just completely unreal.
I don't want it to be
true, but I know it is.
How can this be?
I have no proof, only a
knowing of what will happen
because I saw it, I felt it,
and it was more real than this,
right here, right now, and
what is right in front of me.
It was so real.
It was not a dream,
but a vision or prophecy.
I'm not exactly sure the
order which it will occur,
but what I saw is just so terrible.
There are no words for it.
It was just complete chaos.
People have no idea.
Chaos is the only word I can come up with.
It was hell on earth
and there was no sense
to be made of it at all.
Like all meaning, all order,
everything meant nothing
anymore and then all was lost.
(gentle music)
And it was like you were
forced to beg for it to just end
because it was all just so terrible
and the suffering was beyond unbearable.
I'm trying to make sense
of this, it's just impossible.
The only way I can try
to describe what I saw
was that somehow something changed.
There was some kind of a
shift on a metaphysical level
that altered the nature
of reality as I knew it.
And life on earth went from normal,
or what I only knew was normal,
and became something
else, something awful.
I can describe further
the events as best I can,
but it doesn't do it justice
because as terrible as those events were,
it doesn't describe the true nature
of that hellish reality and existence.
There was immense
destruction that was unavoidable
as though some force or something
had decided it was
time to end life on Earth.
What I saw was the
other side of life, its end,
its certain and final death.
Of all things, all life.
But it was something worse than that.
It was all existence.
And it was just utterly tragic.
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
Like this beautiful gift, the gift of life
and all things that are
beautiful, graceful, and pure,
all creation, was just suddenly taken away
and it was replaced by just
complete suffering and ugliness.
But again, the events that I was seeing,
as awful and unbearable as that was,
was still nothing
compared to what was felt.
The feeling or the
perception of such a reality
that was worse because
it was just sheer chaos.
And I struggled to even comprehend that.
It is the incomprehensible,
all meaning of any kind
was destroyed and ended.
And so you begged for that to end
because it was impossible to look away.
I know this is going to happen.
There's nothing anyone could
say to convince me otherwise.
I know no one will even believe me.
So there's no point in even trying.
It seems completely inevitable.
There is no stopping this.
It will happen.
And I already lived it and felt it.
(gentle music)

[Officer] The wind.
(dramatic music)
Where did you find it?
[Captain Proteus] One of
the men did down with the river.
He was very busy baying at the moon.
[Officer] They have broke it,
aren't you ashamed of yourself
staying away without
lead for two old days?
An officer should know
how to control himself better.
Have a drink, Captain.
[Captain Proteus] Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
[Officer] You must never,
never do that again, Proteus,
don't you know that there
are evil spirits without bodies
who roam the forests looking
for unsuspecting dogs like you?
And that when you open
your jaws to disturb the moon,
why they leap into your
mouth and possess you,
then you could become-
(high-pitched buzzing)
(match striking)
[Artist] "And he said
to me, these are they",
which came out of great tribulation
and have washed their robes
and made them white
in the blood of the lamb.
Therefore, are they
before the throne of God
and serve Him day and night in His temple?
And He that sitteth on the
throne shall dwell among them.
They shall hunger no
more, neither thirst anymore,
neither shall the sun
light on them, nor any heat.
For the lamb, which is in the midst
of the throne shall feed them
and shall lead them unto
living fountains of waters.
And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes.
And when He had opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in
heaven about the space
of a half an hour.
(ethereal music)
And I saw the seven angels,
which stood before God,
and to them were given seven trumpets.
And another angel came
and stood at the altar
having a golden censer.
And there was given unto him much incense
that he should offer it
with the prayers of all saints
upon the golden altar,
which was before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense,
which came with the prayers of the saints,
ascended before God
out of the angel's hand.
And the angel took the censer
and filled it with fire of the altar
and cast it into the earth.
And there were voices, and
thunderings, and lightnings,
and an earthquake.
(ethereal music)
And the seven angels,
which had the seven trumpets,
prepared themselves to sound.
The first angel sounded
and there followed hail
and fire mingled with blood.
(ethereal music)
And they were cast upon the earth.
And the third part of
the trees was burnt up
and all green grass was burnt up.
(ethereal music)
And the second angel sounded,
and as it were a great
mountain burning with fire,
was cast into the sea.
And the third part of
the sea became blood.
And the third part of the creatures,
which were in the sea and had life died.
And the third part of
the ships were destroyed.
And the third angel sounded,
and there fell a great star from heaven
burning as it were a lamb.
And it fell upon the
third part of the rivers
and upon the mountains of waters.
And the name of the
star is called wormwood.
And the third part of the
waters became wormwood.
And many men died of the waters
because they were made bitter.
And the fourth angel sounded,
and the third part of the sun was smitten,
and the third part of the moon
and the third part of the stars.
So as the third part of them was darkened
and the day shown
not for a third part of it,
and the night likewise.
(ethereal music)
And I beheld and heard an angel
flying through the midst of heaven,
saying with a loud voice,
whoa, whoa, whoa to
the inhabitors of the earth.
By reason of the other
voices of the trumpet,
"of the three angels,
which are yet to sound."

For thine is the kingdom, the power,
