ROPE: Ethereal Power of Rings

by World Codex Staff, John Rollins (Foreword)

THE BEARER OF THIS RING IS BOUND BY A CURSE! A curse was invoked upon this ring sixteen centuries ago. Those who excavated the site where it was initially found, a Roman temple complex, discovered that it was dedicated to the Celtic deity Nodens. The ring was stolen from its rightful owner which provoked Nodens and set J.R.R. Tolkien on a path which led to the creation of his Lord of the Rings trilogy. This account reflects several mysteries unveiled by Ethereal Power of Rings. Included within are a deep connection to the Great Scottish Witch Hunt of 1661, and a personal relationship to John Rollins, the theosophicalist who purports the existence and power of Resonant Occultic Parapsychological Energy (ROPE). You will feel the fear looming from the dark shadow cast upon the Bartlett family who stumbled into the path of the curse that was cast upon the infamous ring centuries ago. Understanding the true nature of the curse is the key, yet the danger becomes palpable as emanations escape from the "Pandora's Box" they unwittingly unlocked. My name is John Rollins, and I am presently residing in the city of London where I was born. Here, in late October of 2016, I received an intriguing package through the post. It contained an authentic Roman ring and a detailed account of how it came to be sent to me. The contents of that package have repeatedly served as a source of inspiration in my ongoing endeavor to delve deeper into my research regarding Resonant Occultic Parapsychological Energy, or ROPE. In a case of paramnesia or coincidence, the acronym ROPE is the exact reverse of the first letters of the following story’s subtitle, Ethereal Power of Rings. Much to my surprise that quintessential connection is what prompted Meredith Carson, the head writer of the World Codex staff, to contact me. In the following story, historicity is woven throughout its plot interlacing several eye-witness accounts of parapsychological phenomena that can neither be confirmed nor denied. Therefore, ROPE is categorized as Subjective Mystical Reality (SMR) which means that the perception and understanding of reality are entirely reliant upon the individual grasp of each reader. SMR is a new literary category, and its thematic propensity reflects the incredible results of the double slit experiment in physics. In ROPE’s companion book, Survival of the A Case Study in SMR, the strange principles inherent to the nature of Subjective Mystical Reality are explored on several levels. In a nutshell, fact and fiction are proven to be subjective, although the appearance of the two diametrically opposed states of being has long been assumed to be understood objectively. Science has recently redefined the reality that the world experiences in everyday life. Each individual’s perception of what is real may indeed be accurate.
