Friends, we regret that we will be taking a short break from our regular posting.

We hope to be back tomorrow after having a 'conversation' with The Manager.

A very FIRM conversation.

Remember: Embrace the Ordinary Strangeness in life!

The Manager is stirring.

He sounds happy.

Brace.

If you're out and about, doing that whole 'city living' thing that your favourite celebrity told you about, make sure you wear a thick coat.

It's not for the weather.

It's for the spectres.

...
Don't ask questions, just wear the coat, damnit!

The nice thing about this 👇👇 apocryphal story is that every region of the UK has a town where it might possibly happen. Up here, it would be Hebden Bridge. In the South-West, Totnes. Other candidates?
Love the story about the infamous hippie town in my part of the world where someone broke their leg & just as they were being wheeled into an ambulance a stranger came running through the crowd shouting “WAIT! I’M A HOLISTIC PRACTITIONER!” It’s probably not true but I so badly want to believe it is.

Apologies for earlier post - this whole 'new media' approach gets to you sometimes.

So does management who has been suspiciously quiet.

ANYWAY!
Make sure you check out Liberty Square's new guided tours. Explore the history of one of New Thelema's oldest and more exciting public spaces!

Idk, man - does this count as synergy? Or is this an advert?

How do we distinguish the two?

By what standard are we to measure each datapoint in this cold and unfeeling world?

How can we hope to project order when all around us is nothing but a chaotic GET YOUR HANDS OFF MEMKLAjncw9316bM,S.CJ

The Manager says 'synergy is the key' with our new posts - synergy here, synergy there, synergy everywhere

What is it? No idea

How do we use it? Couldn't tell you.

What are we doing here?

Somehow missed learning about the Black Letter Game when it initially circulated, but made it through the teaser campaign for its return!

Got sent the trail since one of the puzzles resembles something hanging in my office at work.

At least 90% of the screaming you hear at night is human

Okay, full disclosure: This is just a photo. There's no subliminal messaging here at all.

Sorry, folks.

Again, The Manager didn't bother to stick around so I guess we'll wait for another 'bright idea'

The Bureau invites you to see a different view of New Thelema, our beloved city that sits beyond time and space.

Gaze deeply into the image before you.

Consider, if you will, the possibilities that lie before you.

The Manager has a new idea: Subliminal Messaging.

No explanation, just 'put some subliminal stuff in the next post or two', then walks out.

Any ideas?

Sooo...we've learnt that we're not able to delete posts once we've posted them - lots of legal and 'paranormal' regulations involved.

The hashtags worked(?)...kind of?

The Manager seems happy enough, but he still has ideas to share...
*sigh*

The Manager had decided that he's been doing some thinking and he reckons that this remarkable team - all three of us - could be doing so much more to, I quote, 'get eyeballs on posts and bums on seats.'

He refuses to explain further - 'all will be revealed in time' 

...
Pray for us.

Happiness is realising that tourism isn't plunging down to zero, you were just holding the graph upside down.

Tourists are flocking to New Thelema daily...whether they wanted to come or not.

Welcome to our beautiful, exciting, totally normal city!

New Thelema is often called 'The City That Never Sleeps' because there's always something happening.

Festivals, dance parties, elections, cruises, competitions, fairs, blood sacrifices

So many things to be involved in, so little time.

Archetypes aren't characters. They're mirrors 🪞

They show us the parts of ourselves we've forgotten, ignored, or never knew existed.

Sacred archetypes: A collection of 5 divine feminine frequencies released on the winter solstice.

Each one holds a key. Which one is calling you?

Feeling peckish? The Bureau recommends Giro's Grubbers, the new hot restaurant with its delicious slices of 'long pork' that everyone's going crazy for! 

Featuring their 'secret sauce' that adds that extra little zing to the meal!
