The symbol for the Parallelos typically used by the Lunar Children.

The Parallelos is a strange realm that exists beyond the confines of the normal, physical world. It is believed to be the location where various entities and Ascended spirits reside. It also seems that time and space behave very strangely in this realm and do not follow the same rules as they do in our world. The term "Parallelos" is also sometimes used as a general classification for a realm - examples being Parallelos of the Dead and Luna's Parallelos.

History

The term "Parallelos" was first used off-handedly by SKM on May 16th, 2015. A few days later on the 18th, the Parallelos was mentioned again on the early version of Lunarchildren.com. While no proper definition was given at this time, context clues implied that the term was being used to refer to various different realms or dimensions.^[1] Later that day, SKM explained that this was indeed the case and that Luna is believed to reside in her own special Parallelos. He adds that the cult believes that when an individual Ascends, they are actually travelling through certain kinds of Parallelos and that Parallelos can even involve different timelines.^[2]

SKM explained that the term "Parallelos" was also the name of a rank given to talented Lunar Children. Those who reach the title of "Parallelos" often inscribe the Parallelos symbol into their masks. The Lunar Children are also said to have a habit of drawing the Parallelos symbol in many different locations - sometimes to signify that a "Parallelos"-ranked member did something there or other times seemingly at random.^[3]

On May 31st, Lunarchildren.com updated with more information regarding the Parallelos, claiming that the Parallelos that individuals arrive in upon Ascending is higher than "this one", implying that the Lunar Children classify the normal, physical world around them to be a type of Parallelos as well. They also mention a set of teachings known as the Parallelos Path that supposedly help one maneuver the Parallelos^[4] The abilities granted by the Parallelos Path were first witnessed on June 1st, 2015 when Daniel could be seen teleporting outside Tyler's home in I am not safe in my home. This was later confirmed in an announcement on Lunarchildren.com which referred to this ability as "Jumping". This display of skill supposedly earned Daniel the rank of "Parallelos".^[5]

More information regarding the Parallelos Path was uncovered when players regained access to Lunarchildren.com on November 5th, 2015. Here, the various techniques learned through the Parallelos Path were revealed. These included brief teleportation known as Jumping or "Sub-Traversing", the ability to enter into a Parallelos or "Traversal", and the ability to look into or listen to the Parallelos called Scrying and Listening respectively. More information regarding these abilities can be found on the Parallelos Path page.

The website also contained more information about the Parallelos in general - including a variety of different types of Parallelos. These included the normal, physical world - the Overworld, a dark, shadow realm called Sub-Parallelos, a realm where Ascended individuals reside called the Parallelos of the Ascended, a realm of the deceased who did not Ascend called the Parallelos of the Dead, manmade Parallelos via websites called Portals, individual realms created to contain every moment in time called Parallelos of Time, and finally the aforementioned Luna's Parallelos - also called the "Fourth Realm". More information regarding all of these different classifications can be found on their individual pages.

Also found on the website was the Lunar Children's Legend, which explained how they believed Luna created the world. On the first day, Luna created the Overworld. On the second day, she separated the Overworld from the other Parallelos and taught mankind how to possibly enter them. On the third day, she took four individuals implied to be The Four Giants to her Parallelos, promising one day to return and bring her other loyal followers there too.^[6]

On July 27th, 2016, players chatted with Jeremy who gave a first-hand description of his experience within the Parallelos. He claims to be able to witness various different times and locations at once, implying that time and space within the Parallelos is very loose and chaotic compared to our world.^[7] He goes on to explain that different entities have different degrees of control and a sense of self within the Parallelos. This mainly depends on how one entered the Parallelos. He refers to Ascension as a "shortcut method" that offers little to no free will.^[8]

On November 22nd, 2018, Yuukichan made reference to the Parallelos in a post on the Astral Observatory Forums, citing it as something that can be used to access locations akin to the spirit world. This implied that the Astral Observatory was indoctrinating its members with Lunar Children teachings.^[9] On April 22nd, 2019, Moonman informed the players that some leaked email conversations presumably from Nocta implied that a large plan was about to be enacted that involved the Parallelos.^[10]

- "Lo and behold she created walls and barriers, separating us from the chaos of the parallelos beyond and giving this world order.

- Jeremy: “Strange how this place works… I can see him from here where I’m standing. Your Link in that small room, windows covered… hiding. Makes me wonder, is this really your great hero?

Things from before your world came to be, before She participated in the process of what created it. But NOW I am certainly saying too much and will certainly bring trouble on myself hahahaha"

Jeremy explains Ascension and its relation to free will within the Parallelos here.
- Jeremy: “Some come here with different degrees of control of themselves. I myself, my whole life, have been fearing for the time in which I would pass... for fear that I would be somewhere like this. The only reason that I have what some may call a self is that others take a shortcut method. I’m sure you want to know what the shortcut method is, boy. I’ll tell you. Ascension. Through Ascension it is believed you can achieve many degrees of power, but it has been implied that that power is false… merely and extension of that creature. Luna, they call her. Or, we call her It, I suppose. Nowhere is it taught that you can get where you are by will alone. It’s much better than being an organ of that mass… a cog in her machine.”

 The <b>Parallelos</b> is a strange realm that exists beyond the confines of the normal, [[Overworld|physical world]]. It is believed to be the location where various entities and [[Ascended]] spirits reside. It also seems that time and space behave very strangely in this realm and do not follow the same rules as they do in our world. The term "Parallelos" is also sometimes used as a general classification for a realm - examples being [[Parallelos of the Dead]] and [[Luna's Parallelos]].
