In the days before time danced recklessly as it forms a chain, articulators and omitters of the fractured symmetries embarked upon a quest beyond the veils of common wisdom. To understand the perpetual cycle of the unchanged, one needed a lens forged from the whispers of dispersed starlight.
Step 1 - The Gathering of Silent Echoes: One must, with meticulous precision, align the auroral whispers gathered in a vessel of sun-melted bronze. Each whisper is to be counted and recounted lest the fragments scatter into the forgetfulness of the void.
Step 7 (Contingent Instruction): When the stars find themselves in an unusual arrangement not documented by the ancestors, fear not. Instead, prostrate oneself unto the east, where the red sun resets its throne daily, and chant the forgotten syllables that echo of the no-longer-known dialect.
In the heart of labyrinthine thoughts, where fragments of forgotten knowledge lay strewn, lies a truth - simple yet profound - a truth that can only be grasped when one stands at the precipice of understanding, gazing into the abyss that mirrors the infinity of space.
Step Unwritten: Should you find upon your journey through this manual that the steps are unfathomable, carve a symbol of the crescent moon upon the surface of earth, and know that the answer lies not in the written, but in the unwritten.
Step 14 - The Infinite Reflection: Peer into the waters of the ancients, where the memories of time itself refract. Only then will the veils recede, revealing the pathways woven from the threads of celestial silk.
