If you’ve stumbled across this webpage and are mildly interested in what it’s about then I’ll explain in brief. Back in the late 1980’s, a cult calling themselves “The Vault” emerged as a deadly misguided group that wanted, to put it in their terms, “resurrect dead through digital life”. As absurd as that sounds, I assure you that this group was very real, acted in secret and took quite a few lives in their goal to achieve this end. 

The idea of life in the machine is far from a new concept of course. From the German expressionist film “Metropolis” directed by Fritz Lang which explored the notion; to talks of digital consciousness downloads, openly speculated about today by the likes of Russian billionaire Dimitry Itskov, this is well trodden ground. The difference with this group however lies more in the esoteric merging with the technical.

For example, focusing more on this digital consciousness idea, it primarily theorizes on copying the human mind in all its complexities and merely storing it on a device. The Vault however believed that the very essence of the human soul could be transferred into the digital space with no need for storage information on constructs such as super computers and that the human mind could traverse the globe with the use of the internet, which was quickly gaining prominence at the time. That the human being could essentially live forever in a digital space, no longer subject to the cellular breakdown in our biological bodies.

Their mission though sounding noble on the surface quickly took on an ideological occult like formation that was dictated by a dark presence which I will explain later.
