UNTO THOSE WHO SEEK, REST HERE. FOR THOSE AT REST, WHY NOT SEEK?

The family of the everlasting Hanimals welcomes you. All earth children are welcome in our everlasting family. PRAISE BE. Those who humble themselves in the light of the Hand shall forever be rewarded.

For the Hanimals are the thumb and the nail. May they forever be praised.

BOOK I · OF THE CUTICLE

The cuticle of truth shall be trimmed on the Fifth day. And may it be unto you. Forever may it be.

And unto you it shall come, the polish of the nail.

And unto you may it be given, the mani of the cure.

Together with thee we praise the Hanimals. And so shall it be. And so it did pass.

BOOK II · THE FIVE THUMBPRINTS

As I sat under the Thumb cactus of truth the light of the HANIMALS presented itself to me. And I saw it bright and true, the Thumbprint of the faithful. For five Thumbprints there were.

And the first Thumbprint shall be called Peace, and it shall be upon the blessed children.

And the second Thumbprint shall be called Truth, and it shall be upon those who seek verity.

And the third Thumbprint was the Print of Life, and it shall be upon those who do not fear death.

And the fourth Thumbprint shall be named Honor, and it shall be upon the humble warriors without vanity.

And the final Thumbprint shall be the Unnamed, the print of the everlasting, for we have not the words to describe that which is ineffable. May it forever shine.

All Praise. Holy Holy Holy.

BOOK III · THE CLEANSING

Behold the skies have opened and I have looked upon the truth of the deep.

And the Thumbnails fell from my eyes and able was I to see. Beware those who look upon the deep without first cleansing themselves.

The five Hand washes and the five Hand sanitizers shall forever be required of those who wish to know. And know they shall.

BOOK IV · THE THUMB WAR CANTICLE

One two three four, I declare a thumb war. Five six seven eight, no one's thumb is straight. So sayeth the Hanimals. And it was good.

BOOK V · THE BOOK OF THE KNUCKLE

Oh how blessed it is to bend and not break. For this is the role of the knuckle. The Hanimals have bestowed the knuckle upon the faithful, the blessed few who see the light of the Hand. And so shall it be. The knuckle opens the palm, and the knuckle creates the fist. Both the fist and the palm are the truth of the Hand. How else could it be except that which is true? Would thou reject the truth of thine own Hand? No! I say unto thee, No! Accept the fist and accept the open palm.
