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.

Summary
The Parallelos is a strange, otherworldly realm. It is the home of many strange entities and spirits and is believed to be where Ascended individuals reside. The term "Parallelos" is also sometimes used as a general term to describe different locations as well. For example, the Lunar Children consider our normal, physical world to be a type of Parallelos. According to the Lunar Children, these various "Parallelos" are as follows:
- Overworld - Normal, physical realm containing Earth.
- Parallelos of the Dead - A realm housing the deceased spirits of non-Ascended individuals.
- Parallelos of the Ascended - A realm housing Ascended individuals.
- Parallelos of Time - Many different realms containing snapshots of every moment in time.
- Sub-Parallelos - Empty, dark shadow-realms.
- Luna's Parallelos - A sacred realm where Luna resides.
In recent years, more information regarding the Parallelos has been revealed. Supposedly, one is unable to see in the Parallelos unless they use a camera or some other device to view it. On screen, the Parallelos takes on the appearance of a heavily distorted green environment.
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] The next day, Tyler was warped into the Parallelos after touching the Detour Sign in his yard - as seen in the video The end, giving the players a glimpse of the Parallelos itself, which took on a distorted, green appearance.

- <SKM>: Parallelos is a strange idea they have about parallel dimensions, the multiverse, and the various time lines in each one. Some idea that through lunas power certain things can be manifested by borrowing from other "Parallelos" and that when you ascend you are traveling through certain kinds of "Parallelos" and that luna currently resides in a special kind of "Parallelos"

- <SKM>: The symbol on the top refers to a part of there beliefs known as "Parallelos" and they put it on shit all over the place. Sometimes I can make connections as to why, and other times I feel it is just used because a "Parallelos" ranked member had something to do with the related action, or just for what appears to be shits and giggles.

- "Through ascension one may gain much more awareness of the reality of this parallelos and the ones beyond, as they view it through the window of the ascended parallelos. However, for those who wish to ascend it is important that one does not forget the ultimate purpose of the act. Serving Luna and coming closer to her grace."
- "It is also highly recommended that one practices the teachings of the parallelos path, as knowledge of it can be of great assistance on the path to ascension, as well as grant one power early on that they may learn to control after there transition (and in some cases even before)."

- "The last child with observation duty (yes we are talking to you Daniel) did a fantastic job leaving the beacon with him. Just as well, the task was also his trial to be worthy of the Parallelos path (We all saw your fantastic use of jumping in the video he decided to show to the harbingers, really good work to be fair XD )."

- "She then proceeded to create for us what we now know as the Overworld, our parallelos, and for three days and three nights she gave new form to the world we now know, and instilled new secrets into the people who were to go on to govern it."
- "Lo and behold she created walls and barriers, separating us from the chaos of the parallelos beyond and giving this world order. She created a path that would lead us through what would be called life, and a path that would lead to death. Paths that would take us to many parallels and finally a path that would soon lead to her own parallel."
- "“I shall give some the power to move to the worlds the faceless may move and hear what only they may hear. But only they may come with me to my Parallelos.”"
- "Upon the dawn of the fourth day she left, taking the beasts without bodies and faces, and the four who came to aid her away with her into the sky. As she ascended into the heavens she promised to return again one day and speak the full knowledge of the third secret so that all may move unto the greatest parallelos."
- ↑ Jeremy describes what he's seeing within the Parallelos here and here.
- 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? Then I understand how it all works. Various splitting time. This just isn’t quite the same man. There are many partitions of this place. The most simplistic thing to call it would be limbo...”
- Jeremy: "One moment I’m standing by the house in the lake, the next I’m standing by where my friend was buried. Something something dogs… Rem was so frightened, he didn’t understand what he was getting into. There he goes, and there goes It."
- Jeremy: "You can see a little bit of everything from yesterday, today, tomorrow or sometimes more than one or all at once. Its a bit confusing and many things walk through this place besides me. 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.”
