The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft: stars. That cult would never die till the stars came right again,
and the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from His tomb
to revive His subjects and resume His rule of earth. The time
would be easy to know, for then mankind would have become as the
Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws
and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling
in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways
to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the
earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom. Meanwhile
the cult, by appropriate rites, must keep alive the memory of
those ancient ways and shadow forth the prophecy of their return.
