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: 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.
In the elder time chosen men had talked with the entombed Old
Ones in dreams, but then something happened. The great stone city
R'lyeh, with its monoliths and sepulchres, had sunk beneath the
waves; and the deep waters, full of the one primal mystery through
which not even thought can pass, had cut off the spectral intercourse.
