CHIM (pronounced like the name Kim, with a softer ‘k’ and emphasis on the ‘I’) is the Ehlnofex word for “royalty”. Contrary to what a certain poorly researched text wants you to believe it’s not the realization that you’re in a video game and you can use cheat codes because of that. CHIM goes much deeper than this.

 

CHIM is the realization that everything is a dream, dreamed by the Godhead. You are part of the dream and you’re just a tiny piece of it, (I AM NOT, -1) but at the same time you retain your individuality, your I (I AM, +1). Failing to retain your I causes you to lose your individuality and dissolve into the dream. You zero-sum; (-1) + (+1) = 0.

 

Keeping your I is achieved through Love (notice the capital L). Talos and Vivec loved themselves so much that by proxy they loved everything else as well, because they are everything and everything is the dream (I ARE ALL WE). Vivec’s Love is different from what we view as love. Love is every action performed or experienced under Will, Violence is Love. When we stagnate he slaps us so we move on. When he needs us he uses us to guide us. He suspended Baar Dau above Vivec City with CHIM, and once his people stopped loving him it fell. He taught the Dunmer to never lose their Love via violence.

 

 

>Couldn’t Vivec just CHIM all the outlanders out of Morrowind?

>If CHIM is so powerful, why didn’t he CHIM Dagoth Ur away?

 

To do so would go against his Love for himself and all AE (the entirety of existence in the TES universe). Outlanders, Dagoth Ur, the saltrice farmer on a remote coast, an Argonian working the docks in Windhelm are all part of Vivec, part of them dream. Inflicting any harm on them would be inflicting harm on himself. Love is a Sword. It is double-edged, so when Vivec cuts, he also cuts himself.

 

Furthermore, CHIM is deeply connected to the roots of the Aurbis. The eight aedra make up a wheel, with each of them acting as a spoke. The spaces in between the spokes are the realms of the daedric princes. Outside the wheel is the Void (not the void that is Sithis), where more concepts than stasis and change exist. Describing it as nothingness would be giving it too much meaning, for it cannot be named. It's like not thinking about a world without sound. The Et'Ada tried to rebuild it inside the wheel, but the chaos inside the wheel collected itself, which is now called Oblivion, outside Oblivion is the attempted recreation of the void outside the wheel, which the Et'Ada refer to as Aetherius. 

 

But Lorkhan had none of that. After he saw everything there was to see he went outside the wheel and saw it, looking at it sideways he saw the secret Tower which has the shape of the name of the only God, I.

 

>Hold up, you lost me

 

Okay the wheel is flat. Look at it sideways and you see a Tower. This tower represents the true self within us. Also, it looks like an I. Since CHIM includes realizing that you are everything, the Tower means you're the only God. This is the secret of the Tower within the Tower, which twice-Vehk stole, for he is the thief. Tiber Septim was the second thief taking the secret (Wulfharth is the warrior, Zurin the Mage, and that dirty little Breton shit Hijalti had to steal something).
