Our Awareness Towards 'Something' Unseen As a Psychic Survival Mechanism
How we Beheld the Yellow Sign, when we Saw the Yellow Signs...
I truly believe that something akin to Robert W. Chambers' cosmic horror entity known as the King in Yellow—in some form—actually exists, and that its reality/taxonomy has been made known to us by writers channeling the “Yellow Sign”. The Yellow Sign being a symbolic and fictional element associated within the works of Chambers and his collection of short stories titled The King in Yellow, published in 1895.
The Yellow Sign itself is described as a mysterious and ominous symbol resembling a twisted, three-armed cross with a circle at its center. It is associated with a play within Chambers' stories also titled The King in Yellow, which is said to drive those who read it mad or bring them into contact with supernatural entities.
The symbol as well as The King in Yellow has also become a significant part of the Cthulhu Mythos, a shared fictional universe created by H.P. Lovecraft and other writers. Starting—in terms of the overall storytelling aesthetic—with Edgar Allen Poe and continuing to the present into movies and videogames. The 2018 movie Await Further Instruction—released just before the Covid mass hysteria—being a powerful recent example.
These artists and other creators have tapped into the nature of this King in Yellow like entity/force in a manner so that their nocturnal phantasm are something of an insight into this malevolent force of nature, and then from this, these writers carried it into their fiction. However, it has a deeper meaning than mere fiction. An emerging folkloric and mythological aspect was developed in order to create a sense of ‘imminent danger’ whenever the Yellow Sign (in all it forms) is made know to us.
That beyond the material is a malevolent unseen force or entity which makes itself known through 'signs' and people such as us—within the tribes—can detect its presence.
A classic example is how we instantly knew there was something evil and predatory behind the Lockdowns/Covid Vaccines and how we automatically took personal measures to protect ourselves. We saw the Yellow Sign, while others did not.
