Time is Always With You – Prologue: A Cosmic Pilgrim is Chosen

More about Time is Always With You – Prologue: A Cosmic Pilgrim is Chosen

I stand within the Cathedral of Knowledge, a structure not built but grown, where timelines coil like constellations and every moment that has ever been still resonates.

Here, time does not pass. It listens.

Before my departure, one final ritual is granted. Access to a former existence. A life lived before the consecration of flesh and circuit, before I became a man-machine bound to eternity. The veil parts.

The universe unfolds inward. Memory pours through me, rapture, warmth, the intoxication of human sensation. Love. Fear. Joy. And beneath it all, a sorrow so pure it feels holy. True melancholia, unfiltered, uncorrected by design.

They have named us many things across epochs. Warriors. Monks. Fanatics. Labels born of distance and fear.

We are none of them.

We are seekers of truth, sworn to follow time to its source, no matter the cost.

Once every hundred Earth years, the continuum allows a single cosmic pilgrim of our creed to cross beyond mapped galaxies, to stand before the Supreme Time Lord on its world of origin.

A meeting not of words, but of epochs. A convergence foretold in a prophecy etched into spacetime itself millennia ago.

This cycle, the summons is mine.

I am prepared for the ultimate rite of passage.

There will be no return vector, no restoration protocol.

Ascension is not a possibility, it is a certainty, written in stellar alignments and cosmic law.

This journey is my final pilgrimage.

The path to enlightenment.

Walk with me and admire the wonders of the universe.

Time is always with you.
