The Shapes of Flesh by The Ray Out of Space

"Demons to some, angels to others; they are explorers on the furthest reaches of experience."

The following text is a recollection of excerpts from various sources on the topic of The Everflesh, its nature, and its alleged presence in human history.


Reader discretion is advised.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Everflesh: the tangible manifestation of sensation in our physical reality. This is what comprises the bodies of those who transcend the mortal coil by virtue of corporeal stimulation and have made their flesh ethereal and everlasting. Many are their names and even greater the number of their shapes, yet they all share one commonality: the pursuit of pleasure!

 

 

-Excerpt from "Cult and Flesh: The History of Hedonism and Pleasure" by Gertrude M. Winslow

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Genesis 6:1-4, KJV


When the sensations emanating from The Great Unknown, crossing the great cosmic distances, began to assimilate to the vision of physicality, they chose the shape of man. Breeder. Lover. Pleasurable. The Flesh saw these qualities and considered them beautiful and began to imitate them, going so far as to mix with the dwellers of the earth.


However...


The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the LORD said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”
Genesis 6:5-7 KJV


Not all of The Flesh, The Sensation, saw this assimilation as beautiful. Those who chose to look like man were named Servitors. The Greater amongst them sought to improve upon the shape of man. But The Elder saw this as a transgression against the pursuit of pleasure and grew in rage. The Elder wished for the annihilation of the union its very Flesh had made, and for mankind to never again dwell with the flesh.


A great war that saw most of the numbers of man perish took place. The earth laid waste and The Flesh, divided in a mass array of shapes. Some remained in the shape of man. Some added and subtracted to their desire. Others chose shapes that are too dismal and too hideous to describe. However the shape, The Everflesh scattered once more into the cosmic distances to forever roam in the deep darkness between stars.


Yet, the voices of The Flesh were never silenced. Their whispers are still heard riding the cosmic winds of time-space on chariots made from the nightmares of some and the forbidden dreams of others, waiting patiently for the invitation of those who wish upon the flesh.


-Excerpt from "Flesh of the Gods" by Vincent van Däniken.

"I will concede, [REDACTED], I have no explanation for this other than what I see. And even then, I still doubt the things I put to paper myself. We are talking about complete and aggressive cellular assimilation. The immune responses of the poor rats from 2-A didn't even stood a chance. What I find most incredible is that after the initial exposure and subsequent symptomology, the rats went back to their usual business as if nothing ever happened. That was until they began... mating.

I much rather tell you in person. I don't think I can sit down and properly describe the things I've seen these past few days."


-Excerpt from correspondence between [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] of The University of [REDACTED].
