It's best, if we all go to the limits to explain our inner most selves... it definitely helps to thumb our psyche noses to the masses... as if it matters. Originally Posted by NTJME
Whatever you say, wise man. It must make sense to someone. What are "psyche noses" though? Originally Posted by SpankyJ

This is all well and good until you realize that the psyche itself has a psyche psyche. To enter it initiates a journey into a dimension of utter chaos, for there is of course a psyche psyche psyche as well. Every next level has it's own psyche, and another and another and another and another until the unwary traveler arrives at the final psyche.
Time has no meaning here; seconds in this dread chamber seem to pass as centuries would upon the Earth. Slowly, the opaque mists recede and the unwary psyche traveler faces dead Cthulhu himself. This, then, is the corpse-city of R'lyeh, where the Elder Gods await in their timeless slumber.
One massive eye starts to open, then the other. Gradually, the behemoth pulls itself up to its full monstrous height. To gaze upon its very visage is to be driven instantly mad, though that is surely the least of the infinite torments of the damned to follow.
Very occasionally, perhaps once in a century, an intrepid soul manages to somehow escape, traveling back up through the seemingly endless layers of psyches before arriving at the top psyche, the one he calls "me". Liberated, yes...but at such an awful cost.
These unfortunates desire only one thing: to warn others of the perils risked by plumbing the murky psyche depths. This however is not possible, as the madness from far beneath still persists. Concepts such as "words" and "sentences" have lost all meaning and their dire admonitions become a byzantine melange, incomprehensible to all.
I finally understand. I'm so sorry that that happened to you.
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!
