Woke
up, got out of bed... The thoughts still
racing through his head. If only Juli
could slow them down! The anxiety of not
smoking anymore was getting to him. He
had not touched a cigarette for a week.
Now this, of all things, had to develop in his mind. He had been a quantum mechanical physicist
for 6 years, but the ideas that had occurred to him last night were just too
immense in the daylight.
And
so, he slipped out of his front door, heading to the nearest store to buy a
pack of smokes. The meaning of what his
ideas could indicate would change quantum mechanical physics, and in fact, all
of science! Julius Gris had finally
thought of an answer to an enigma that had been troubling him since middle
school... Just why was it that Alain
Aspect's "Bell test experiments"
worked? Aspect had shown how
sub-atomic particles smashed Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Which had stated that no object can move, or
communicate faster than light.
With
each drag from his Marlboro Light his mind calmed, and he was able to think
rationally again. Soon enough, his
previous anxiety disappeared. Only to
leave impending dread right behind. He
had overslept, the sun was high in the sky, and he had just woken up! Oh, how he wished that he did not have this
bloody job. If only he could get his own
research grant so that he could wake up as he wished! And with another drag his mind went back to
The Idea, “But how could it be? How can consciousness create matter, and not
vice-versa.”
Finishing
his cigarette, he decided to call in to work. "North Broward Research, how
may I direct your call?", the
receptionist asked. "Hi there, it's
Juli. I'm not coming in today, the boss
will understand when I explain tomorrow.", he quickly replied. The thoughts in his head did not give his
logic time to think about what he was saying.
Onwards home, with another 'bro between his lips, a mind full of
questions, and now, finally, some answers.
A
conscious observer is required, according to quantum mechanics, in order to
literally have objects exist.
Mathematics and experiments have proven that quantum mechanics is as
accurate as Newton's Laws of Motion, and poor Schrodinger's cat is still
neither alive nor dead.
Last night, as he was relaxing behind his computer
screen. His mind wandered as he was flying his third of a mile ship towards
Jita. Making his weekly run to get
supplies back to the lawless space in which he lived with his comrades.
"What if there was no matter, only energy? Einstein's Theory of Relativity
declares that matter is only energy at rest. On that note, what if our brains
can affect this energy. Our brains do have dark matter/energy between the
neurons’ synapses." So it continued until he logged off for the night
(five minutes later) in order to ponder on the subject some more.
Sitting
on his leather armchair, his brain turned back to it's cravings for nicotine,
but he willed himself to concentrate solely on the topic at hand. Quantum
Mechanics, and why conscious observers could resolve a Quantum Probability Wave
(shown through experiments, sub-atomic particles like photons chose one path or
the other when observed, but went through both paths when they weren't).
"Electrons cannot show an interference pattern when no one's looking, but
they do. Only to show two distinct paths when they are observed." he
cogitated. "Our minds are created by, and so lodged in our brains. What if
it all has to do with "dark" matter/energy. There is one nanometer,
at least, for every 3 square inches of normal matter."
At
around three in the morning, and after much pondering on the subject. He had
The Idea, "What if, everything was consciousness! What if, life is
essential to sustain everything that there is? If there was no life left, this
reality ceases to exist. I mean, no one would care if there was nothing because
there would be no one to give it thought. By that deduction, there must be a
God because there was a time after the Big Bang when life had not yet
started." With that last thought, he started to consider that he needed
sleep, "When you start thinking about God doing science, you need rest,
old boy." he thought to himself. Turning off the lights, he went into the
bedroom, and passed out as soon as his head hit the pillow. His parents had
been avid Jehovah's Witnesses, but he became a scientist to rebel their ardent,
but blind faith.
He
had needed a break from work, and his daydreams of last night would satisfy his
boss' questions for missing a day. Playing pool with the college crowd at the
local bar. He walked back home, and thought about what to do next. After
getting home for five seconds he grabbed a beer from the fridge, and turned on
his computer. Ahh, old Eve (having beta tested the game back in 2002, then
playing on and off for 10 years, Eve was old by gaming standards). He was just
in time for a fight with the Russian alliance of Solar Fleet. Along with his
buddies from Nulli Secunda, Juli went to battle, and died admirably in his Naga
after managing to kill over fifty enemy vessels with his fleet. He really loved
flying with this corporation and it's Flight Commanders. They really had elite
tactics which left the enemy wondering where the fleet was going to strike from
next.
All
good and well, by five in the afternoon after things had died down, and after
he had made some in-game money. Juli decided to call his girlfriend of three
and a half months.
"Hi, honey...
How was your day?", Julius asked Amber.
"Where have you been last night? I've tried your cellphone over ten
times!", she nagged back.
Amber was a controlling nymphomaniac. What a
combination! Juli sure knew how to pick them, but the sex was just too good
with Amber to need anything else.
So he calmly replied, "Babe, I've figured out
life! Seriously now, I've come up with so many new ideas on Quantum Mechanics
that..."
"Stop, you know that I don't want to hear that
scientific crap, Juli. I'm coming over shortly, please set up some candles I'm
feeling romantic."
"Do you want me to run some water for the
jacuzzi?", he didn't have a jacuzzi, just a bathtub where they had a lot
of "fun" previously.
"You do whatever you feel like Juli, I guess
I'll bring some bubbly if you're going to run a bath. I'm leaving right now, be
there in fifteen."
And
so, Juli turned his frown upside down, and started to design a romantic evening
for the two of them. He had no food worth preparing, but after grabbing ten
candles out of the pantry and turning the water on in the bath. He slunk away
to the store to get another pack of Marlboro Lights.
Hurrying,
his mind slipped back to The Idea, and all that it meant. "Now, according
to super-symmetrical string theory. Everything is made up of tiny
"strings" that vibrate in eleven dimensions. What if these dimensions
are just imaginations in this Cosmic Consciousness, call it God? Well, yes and
no," he thought... "Everything would be in it's imagination, but
these dimensions must be real because our four are real. But what if our 4
dimensions (width, length, height, and time) are concretely implemented, and
the other seven are just imaginative? As in, they're whimsical in God's mind,
and not accessible from our four dimensions."
And
he runs head on into a stop sign. "Jesus H. Christ, where'd that come
from?!" His nose was bloody, and he had nothing to stop the bleeding. So,
he used his shirt, and looked around. He had walked right past his destination. So, he took the last cigarette out of its
pack. With the Marlboro between his
lips, he reached into his right pocket to get the lighter. Nope, no lighter...
Muttering another curse, he turned around and quickened his step.
Back
at the convenience store, now, he opens the door. Only to be almost knocked
over by a person running out of the store. "What the hell is with
today?!", he thought somberly. "We're closed, I just got
robbed!", the clerk informs Juli. Now, wanting a cigarette so desperately.
This had to happen!
"I just need a pack of smokes and a lighter,
Muhammed."
"I'm sorry, Jules, but no cigarettes for you
until the police show up."
"Now wait, man! You know me, just let me get a
pack of Lights."
"Ok, fine... but I've got no change, Juli. Just
pay me ten dolla and we'll call it even."
"Always trying to make a profit, aren't you
Mike?"
"Hey, it's America... Supply and demand, you
should know this."
Grabbing the cigarettes, and a bic with his left
hand. Juli reaches into his back pocket with his right. "Oh,
shiznickle!", no wallet either.
"Hey Mike, I'll pay you for these
tomorrow.", Juli stated.
"No, no, no! You pay now or you give cigarettes
back. I just got robbed, and I won't remember anything else that happens
tonight.", Mike/Muhammed replied.
"That's ok, Mike. I'll remember," Juli
said walking to the door.
"Juli, I am warning you! Give cigarettes
back..."
To which, Juli just headed out the door without a
look back. He got one block towards home. When a police car pulls over in front
of Julius.
"Put your hands on your head, and turn around!
NOW!!!", the bullhorn announced to the semi-deserted street of Plantation,
Florida.
"What the ...", Juli thought. "But I
didn't, oh shit... That vindictive son of a", Juli pleaded with the
officer.
"You're under arrest for Petty Theft at the
Qwik Stop on 29th Avenue and Sunrise Boulevard. You have the right to remain
silent. Anything you say, can and will be used against you in the court of
law.", the officer told Juli.
He
then proceeded to pat Juli down, and took away his cigarettes and keys.
Throwing Jules in the back seat of his Crown Victoria. He told Julius to shut
his mouth because Juli was stating again and again that this was a mistake and
that the Arab who served him cigarettes everyday was robbed by somebody else.
"The store was robbed by two men. With one of them fitting your
description. You even have blood on your shirt like the assailant who stole
nothing but a pack of cigarettes, and hey, you even had those said
cigarettes!..." And so, Juli gritting his teeth, shut up. Knowing that
nothing was going to change this officer's mind.
II:
After
spending the next two hours being booked. Julius was thrown in the drunk tank
for the night. Juli tried to call Amber, but her cell phone did not accept
collect calls. Wrapping the blanket they gave him around himself. He settled
down to close his eyes. But sleep was far, far away. For all he could do was
think on The Idea, "Since everything was once a whole before the big bang,
then everything was entangled. Then, one
side of the universe must still be connected to the other, quantum nonlocality.
What if this Universe is God's Consciousness?", he mused. His thoughts replied quickly. Asking him if he did not still believe the
Eastern Philosophy that God breathed out the big bang, and keeps blowing This
Breath until entropy reaches it's climax, and everything is so far apart that
atoms cannot bond. Then retracts His
breath and blows out again. Another big
bang... But, no!" he thought.
"If this Universe is conscious as it seems to be according to quantum
mechanics. Then there must be a higher lifeform." His mind kept whirling with ideas so that he
couldn't get to sleep until around 4 o'clock in the morning...
This was what he thought about:
According
to super-symmetrical string theory and M-theory, every particle is made up of
little "strings" that vibrate in 10 dimensions. So, that adds up with
the Hindu religious beliefs that God (Brahman) breathed out the universe. It also corresponds to the Bible in that God
had "said", Let there be light. Light being energy and energy being
matter according to Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Then, the only way he
could see empty space is that this is a program... Quantum mechanics is the programming, and that's
why everything obeys it's deductions. A conscious observer is needed to
collapse the wave of probabilities for each particle, and therefore this
program was created for each one of us. But why make a sentient being that
would eventually figure out that they are stuck in this program with no way of
getting out? The Eastern Philosophies regarding death always did intrigue
him. They say that once one becomes
enlightened and dies. They become one with God. But then what? No more ego,
would mean no more questions... So, what
good would all the answers be if there were no more questions?
And then he
slept. Got woken up 5 times around two to four A.M. by some assholes trying to
make drug deals on the outside shouting through the bottom of their doors.
When
he really woke up at lunch time, and realized that he had missed work for two
straight days. Juli hoped that they would bail him out of this predicament
since he could not reach Amber.
"Will you accept a collect call from:
"Juli", an inmate at the North Broward County Jail?", asked the
recorded voice of some distant woman.
*click*
"Julius? What happened?!?", Sarah, the
receptionist asked.
"It's all a big misunderstanding Sar. Let me
speak with Joe Armstrong. I need to post bail, and you guys are my only
hope.", Juli replied.
"I'll transfer you right over, Mr. Gris."
and he heard another click.
"Hello, this is Joe. Julius Grisette, you have
decided to grace me with your melodic voice. Why haven't you been at work for
the past two days?"
After
trying to explain his current situation, Juli started to explain his
epiphanies.
"Woah, woah, woah Julius. You need to get your
thoughts in order. A little at a time Julius. Just what is wrong?", Joe
tried to suggest to Juli.
"I'll try to tell you more elaborately in
person, Joe. Thanks for this..."
After
about five hours, Juli walked out the back of the jail, and started walking
home. It was almost seven o'clock in the evening. The sun had set, and Juli had
no money, only a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, and his keys. Oh, how he was
thanking God that at least he had smokes! It took him more than an hour to
finally reach his doorstep. After which, he just collapsed on the living room
armchair, and dozed off for a few.
Waking
up some time later. Juli decided to call Amber, and apologize for missing out
last night. After three rings Amber picks up:
"Hello, Juli. Glad we can speaAHHHHH
UHHHHMMMMk." Amber panted and moaned.
"Amber, what the fuck are you doing?",
Juli asked...
"I'm so AHHH glad we can finally speak Juli.
I'm fucking Jim, and am so AHHH UMMMM fucking over you. Get lost, Juli!"
Juli
hung up the phone and decided to smoke a cigarette, in the house. Screw it all,
he thought! He got arrested, and treated to a long night next to bums and
delinquents instead of a warm bath and some nookie, now he lost his girlfriend.
What next?
It
was 11:36, and Juli could not sleep... So he turned on his computer, put on his
head-set, and logged in to Eve Online. "That's strange", he thought.
Being docked in S0U-M0, in what was Against ALL Authorities' staging base for
his corporation, Nulli Secunda. It was now a BoB (Band of Brothers) station
named Solevette. When did this happen?
Not seeing anyone else in station, nor in Local. He decided to pack up all his
ships into a carrier, and jump clone back for his jump freighter. Within five
minutes, he was ready to go, and made the final preparations of having his
alternative account go and light a cynosural field so that he could safely jump
back to high-security while he figured things out. With his alt character floating
in deep space and the cyno field lit. He undocks his carrier...
Immediately
he is webbed and warp scrambled so that he cannot make the jump to safety.
Consequently, torn to pieces in less than thirty seconds. Juli had forgotten to
check the local comms again for traffic! Jeez, what a newbie move... He was so
mad at himself that he takes his keyboard, and smashes his monitor until both
keyboard and monitor are two piles of conjoining plastic and a gelatinous
trash. Liquid crystal display monitor all leaked out... Ahhh, what a
heart-wrenching game. Over one thousand dollars worth of virtual space ships
and equipment gone in less than a minute!
Juli
decided to get drunk on beer, but after finishing the two that were left in his
fridge. He wanted to get more, and could not since Florida stopped selling
alcohol at two Ante Meridiem.. And so, he tried to go to sleep. He kept tossing
and turning in his bed for at least three hours. Finally, having fallen asleep.
He dreamt, and this is what he dreamed:
He dreamed that he was in a warm, safe, cocoon.
After what seemed like ten seconds, he emerged from the cocoon into a bright
shining light. Then he started to fly, but not like a bird. First, he was on
the ground, then five thousand feet in the air, and he could see all life on
the Earth in his mind.
"I give all this to you!!!" said a booming
voice.
Then
he woke up to his morning alarm clock... Grabbing a cigarette, and his
cellphone. He headed outdoors to light up the best cigarette of everyday, the
first. Smoking blithely, he looked at his cellphone. "Oh brother", he
thought. It was 9:57 A.M. and he was supposed to be at work two hours ago.
"Jesus, how am I to explain this?!?" At which point, he decided to
call in to work, and beg for forgiveness, again. "North Broward Research,
how may I help you?", inquired the Sarah. "Hi, this is Juli again...
I'm going to be in in half an hour.", Juli replied. "Ok, Julius. You
head straight to Mr. Armstrong's office when you come in. He wants to talk to
you."
Taking
a quick shower, brushing his teeth like a normal day. Then putting on a pair of
shorts with a Bob Marley t-shirt, he stepped out. Research scientists are an
eccentric bunch, and no formal office wear was required. Walking the six blocks
to work, his mind turned back to The Idea:
Since everything can be predicted exactly with
Quantum Mechanics. Once we research it all the way, and get experimental proof,
we shall be able to interact with this "program" of a universe. After
all, all the laws of physics are just like a computer program! You do this, you
get this... Cause and effect, input and output. Karma, karma, karma! With a
quantum computer, we can even map out our brains, and I'm sure that one day, we
can save our egos or souls. Live forever like godlike beings. And maybe, if we
find a way to save our souls on some type of everlasting storage device...
So
on went his mind until he was standing at the doorstep of the North Broward
Physics Research Institute. Opened the door, stepped in, and this is what he
saw:
Everyone was packing their pictures and personal
effects into boxes. He boggled at just what the hell was going on. The
receptionist saw him, and told him to get into Mr. Armstrong's office, on the
double.
"Hey
Joe, what's going on?", Juli inquisitively asked his boss.
"We're moving, Julius. Bangor, Maine is our
next home.", Joe replied without a blink.
"What the hell! What do you mean moving? I've
worked for you for over six years, and this has never happened. Why are we
moving?"
"You know what, Juli? When I said, We, I did
not mean You. You are fired because of a multitude of things. Your severence
pay was your bail, go to court and you can still get it. Now get out of my
sight!"
III :
December 21st, 2012
Oh,
how his life had turned to shit... Ever
since that epiphany about consciousness and matter. His whole life was decaying around him. Amber
had left him, he had lost his job at the North Broward Research Institute, and
even in Eve an enemy alliance had conquered his corporation's space. He was stuck up shit's creek without even a
canoe. "What to do? What to
do?", his thoughts dashed as he mused somberly in his big, and empty
king-size bed. The thought of writing a
book had crossed his mind, but was too daunting to even consider. Suppose that
he did, it would take months, if not years, to get it into published form.
Tossing
and turning, he counted the times he'd lit cigarettes. Finally, after the fifth cigarette, he
managed to lull himself into a slumber...
knock,
knock, KnoCK, BAM!
"What was that?" He roused himself with
all the power that he could muster. Planning
on checking the front door, he grabbed a cigarette and lighter for the
conversation with his ex-girlfriend. He
had not slept deeply, and the memories of the last week were still fresh in his
mind in their antagonizing way.
In
his living room he saw nothing. Nothing
outside, nothing through the windows, not a soul in sight. "Well, if someone wants to rob and kill
me, let them try. I've got nothing more
to lose.", his mind blurted as he opened his front door to smoke the
cigarette that was in his hand.
Immediately, he was blinded! As
soon as he opened his eyes, it was plain to see why. The sun outside was at it's peak when his whole
house was dark inside. Without giving
his acute mind a split-second to think on the matter, a green Ferrari pulled
into his driveway in a dazzling display of automotive dexterity and a whole
bunch of smoke.
"Holy shit!", Juli muttered under his
breath.
The
door of the car opened upwards, and I, a
short man in a black 3-piece suit emerge.
"Mr. Gris, I congratulate you on becoming an angel.", I shout as
I’m was half running, half walking to the door.
Juli's mind was too shocked to
think.
"Grab some clothes, and hop in. We're going on
a magic carpet ride.", I say more quietly as I get closer.
"Now, wait a second! What do you mean that I've become an angel,
and how the hell is it daytime, and how did you knock on my door?"
Juli proceeded to slap himself, hard, twice...
"No, not a dream, but this is seriously weird!"
I wave my right hand, and Juli was dressed in the
shirt and shorts he had worn previously that day.
"Here, try this cigarette", Dan gently
asserts.
Juli put it to his lips, and a flame appeared on the
tip of the cigarette. "Jesus, this has got to be another lucid
dream!", Juli thought as he took a drag off the cigarette. Instantly
hacking and coughing his lungs out, he stated, "This isn't tobacco!"
"No, that, my friend, is marijuana. It actually
has a purpose in this life. It is the Holy Grail, ambrosia... We prefer it to
tobacco because your brain has special receptors specifically designed for
it."
"Here, you drive!", I announce to Julius.
"But I've never driven a car in my life! Only in
video games!!!", Jules replies.
"That's ok, son, because where we're going
there are no roads."
So,
Juli did what his mother and father never allowed him to do. He got behind the
wheel of a car, and not just any ordinary car. This was a Ferrari, or something
that must've cost a fortune. I got into the passenger's seat, and he turns the
keys to the ignition. At once they were on the gossamer rings of what appeared
to be Jupiter. And that's when Juli fainted...
After
I slap Juli a couple of times on the cheeks. I give up, and turn on the radio.
Jules woke up to Led Zeppelin blaring, not only from the car, but also from
above in the "sky". "You're not in Florida any more, Juli. Or
was that Kansas? Been so long since I last saw that movie." Thinking of
Kansas, I pushed the CD player's button,
and they were listening to "Dust in the Wind".
"We
are going on an everlasting journey, Julius. The weed was supposed to calm you
down so that you wouldn't faint. But, I should have let you smoke more. You can
call me Dan Ionescu, and I'll be your mentor for the start of this
journey." the man asserted. "Now, start the car and put your hands on
the wheel. I'll be controlling the speed and direction of this F12berlinetta.
And yes, it is a Ferrari..." George said.
"Holy shit, at least this is a dream,"
thought Juli.
"Nope, wrong that time. This is no dream, but I
can certainly and easily read your mind." I sternly assert. "Now,
stop thinking, and let me talk."
"But how the hell am I supposed to stop
thinking, Dan? My mind goes from one topic to the next." Jules asked
meekly.
"Listen to the music, but also listen to me,
Julius. Suspend your disbelief, or I shall have to take you like a
vampire." I open my mouth, and my two upper canines began to elongate.
"Oh fuck!" Juli screamed, and opened his
door to run out.
"Don't do that, Julius!" I calmly warn. To
which Juli proceeded to jump out of the car. Only to begin floating away
towards the planet.
"I told you not to... Now, we're not going to
see the beautiful rings of Saturn. It's not Jupiter like you thought, you need
to brush up on your cosmology."
And with that, Julius and Dan were standing in
complete whiteness. Nothing around, no walls, no ceiling. Just an
ever-extending white floor with a white background.
"Oh, what the fuck? What the fuck!" Julius
chanted twice.
"Don't make me have to restrain you in order to
explain what is going on, Juli. I am not a dream, and this is just a figment of
my imagination imposed onto your mind. A perfect place to discuss life, don't
you think?"
"No, I don't think. Just what is going on,
whatever your name was? I was sleeping!!!"
"Well, go back to sleep, Juli." With that
statement, everything turned black, and there was a twin sized bed with an oil
lamp on a nightstand about three feet away from Juli.
"I'll be back when you have gathered your
thoughts."
"Wait, am I dead?" Juli loudly asked.
"No, you're not dead. Just what is death to
you? Oh, nevermind, I'll explain it all when you wake up." I reply to
Juli.
Juli
tried asking some more questions, but got no answer. "Well, I guess I'm
alone, where the hell am I?" Jules thought to himself again and again for
what seemed like hours. With nothing but the lamp's faint light to keep him
company. "Yes, finally something to wake me up!" Juli thought, and
taking the cover off of the lamp. He held his hand over the flame... “Oww, that
hurt!” Didn't wake him up, but left him in the darkness with a second degree
burn that kept him awake some more.
IV :
Jin'Mei
Kim was operating on cruise control now. He had hacked in to the Scientology
website, and was changing the text of the pages. Mainly to show how ridiculous
the whole Scientological concept was. He had nothing better to do... He was on
Disability for his car crash on July 16th, 2010. Now, just for his magnum opus.
His masterpiece! To write on the main page about how L. Ron Hubbard and H.G.
Wells had a bet that Ron couldn't start a religion. He was also inserting links
to his own website about a religion that he, himself, was starting.
Jin
had read the Bible at least three times front to back, and the New Testament
alike about twenty times. Jin wouldn't call himself a Christian, completely.
His grandmother whom he had been living with since he was eight had tried to
push it on him too hard. And he just couldn't agree with Apostle Paul's latter
writings in the New Testament. The Gospels of Jesus Christ did have a certain
ring of truth to them. Jesus' sayings were very much alike to what all
religions taught. Though, the change from the Old to the New Testaments was too
dramatic for Jin to accept a God who was so whimsical as to change his Modus
Operandi.
Having
studied most religions in the world after his accident. From Christianity and
Islam to Buddhism and Taoism. He had amalgamated the concepts in his head, and
still lacking a perfect religion to call his own. He decided to create a web
site advocating a new religion. One that combined most of the concepts that God
had given man to ponder. After all, all religions believe in virtually the same
thing, to do unto others as you would have done unto you. Although, he had not
yet studied Hinduism. Which, to him, had too many gods, and was too daunting a
task to decipher.
He
believed that he could open some eyes of people who, like him, found current
religions lacking. Being a firm believer in some sort of Higher Lifeform. He
decided to do his part in educating the people who hadn't the time to study
themselves. He believed that all imagination came from this Higher Being, and
that all books were the keys to unlocking exactly what the Religious Scriptures
had stated previously. So, he had been reading fictional books, from Aldous
Huxley to Nora Roberts and Stephen King. He really enjoyed Stephen King's
writings...
Back
to his current endeavour: He didn't really have much more to say. Really, if
people wanted to believe works written by a science-fiction writer who knows
how to create worlds, much less religions. Let them... He just wanted to open
up a few rich eyes to what his own research inquiries had discovered.
"Oh shit on a rock!" he thought.
Someone had blocked his access to the site, and was
currently tracing his IP address. Good he had used torproject.org, which routed
his true location to several places around the world. Well, he had tried! There
was nothing more that he could do other than shut down his computer, and go
make some dinner for himself and his eighty-nine year old grandmother.
Now,
Jin wasn't much of a cook. He just read recipes gotten from the internet. If
there was something that he liked he experimented with it to get just the right
taste. With this being Monday, he had to start all over with a new recipe for
the week. This week was Baba ganoush, an eggplant dish from the Middle East.
And so, he had to get some eggplants and dried cumin from the store. Changing
his house pants to something thicker, and throwing on a shirt. He dashed for
the door forgetting to tell his grandmother that he was leaving.
As
soon as he stepped out of his doorway though. Three police cars pull up!
"Oh no, hopefully they aren't here about my pot plant in the
backyard," he thought. Two muscular officers came out of each car, and
drew their guns. Hunkering down by their respective doors. They pointed their
guns at Jin who threw his hands up without another thought.
"Freeze! You are under arrest. Are there any
more people in the house?" one of the officers yelled out.
Jin, shocked, quietly replied, "Just my
grandmother who's old." After cuffing Jin, and throwing him in the back of
the car. Three of the officers go around to the back door, and the rest storm
in through the front door which was already half open. With one officer staying
back by the car that Jin was in.
Jin
hectically thought to himself, "What in the nine heavens have I done
now?" And tried to get more comfortable with the handcuffs digging into
his wrists. After ten more minutes, an ambulance pulls up to the house.
"Oh Jesus, Jesus, Jesus." Jin was beside himself with agony. Three
minutes later, as the EMT people come out of the house with a stretcher rolling
in between them. A corpse with a white sheet on top of it lying on the
stretcher. "Oh fuck, you fucking pigs! Why did you have to come here and
give my grandmother a heart attack!?!" Jin screamed through the plexiglass
at the officer that was left by his car.
Sitting
on the Harris County Jail's concrete bench. Jin was in torment for his
grandmother.
"Jin Kim, get over here so we can take a
picture." the officer clerk behind the desk said.
"Just what is it that I've done, sir?" Jin
replied.
"Let me pull up your records." was the
reply. "Says here you were arrested for terrorism. You're screwed!"
"And so I seem to be," Jin said
downheartedly. "But I didn't do anything having to do with terrorism,
officer. I've barely left my house in the past month!"
"That's what your record says, go deal with it
at court."
And so, Jin shuffled his feet to stand in front of
the camera, took his picture, and caught the orange pants and shirt that were
handed to him by a young individual about his age.
Walking
through the jail behind another officer. Jin was crying about his grandmother
and his current predicament. They passed a lot of doors, and finally came up to
another one. The officer with Jin spoke into his walkie-talkie, and the door in
front of them began to slide open.
"Fresh fish, here fishy fishy..." went the
chorus from inside.
V :
Smack
went a fist against Jin's open-eyed face. Then came another and another. Yet he
refused to fight back... Thinking himself to be just like Jesus Christ. Jin
literally turned the other cheek, again and again. These three assholes had
ganged up on him, and the guards were doing nothing. Jin wasn't yelling,
screaming, nor anything to fight off the attacks. Not to mention doing anything
to warrant the attacks in the first place. That was his first morning in Harris
County Jail.
The
next day was worse for him. He had tried to get help from the guards. Only to
have his face smashed against the plexiglass by one of his assailants, and
having the guards turn their heads just as Jin was turning the other cheek. On
the third day, he fought back. Jin was of small stature, to say the least. Five
foot eight and a hundred and forty pounds soaking wet. So, he did not put up
much of a fight, but it got the a-holes to look for an easier, fresher target.
That's life, you don't know why you're in jail, your only family is dead, you
get your ass beat, and you go on. A very enlightened approach to life on Jin's
part...
As
one week passed, Jin finally went to court for the first time to be told by his
public defender only an offer by the District Attorney of seven years. To
simply get an explanation of why he was in jail was above the Public Defender's
paygrade apparentely. So Jin picked up a Bible, and started reading the
scripture again and again. With nothing to do but play chess, or read the
Bible. Life was ... exciting.
After
a month, he went to court again and hearing an offer of six years. Jin needed a
lawyer, this one wouldn't even explain his charges. The public defender was
handling like at least twenty other cases. Which would explain why Jin was
being blatently ignored, but this was his life on the line here. Life was ...
unfair. Back in his tank, i.e. his prison cell with the other inmates. Jin was
passing time pretty comfortably. He played a pretty good chess game, and was
getting better by the day. The trick was to plan ahead, and almost all inmates
cannot plan further than the next meal.
Along
comes the behemoth to spoil Jin's peaceful daily existence. His name was
Bailey... All you needed was his last name because respect is everything in
jail. Funny thing is that he did not respect you back. It wasn't the first time
in jail for Bailey by far, but he seemed to like it. If not for the fact that
Bailey made Jin wash his underwear, write all his letters, and even wipe the
toilet seat whenever Bailey wanted to take care of his business. Being the
smallest guy in a jail cell had it's drawbacks, and life was ... peachy.
Jin
was fine with it, for about four days. Then Bailey told Jin that he was to be
his bitch, and would take it every day after lights out. That was not alright
with Jin, but he played the part well for the two hours that it took him to
come up with a plan. The only thing he had for a weapon was this razor blade
from the ones that they sold on commissary. So he slipped back to his bunk.
Waited until Bailey was distracted with someone else, and broke apart 3 more
razors with the intention of severely lacerating his adversary.
It
worked in Jin's mind at least. When he actually went to go slash Bailey's
face... That didn't work too well. Jin grazed him with the razor blades in his
fist, then came Bailey's fists, and boy did they hurt. For what seemed like
hours, the watchmen let the beatdown continue. When they actually intervened,
Jin's face was a bloody pulp. His nose was broken, his jaw dislocated, and 3
teeth knocked out. Bailey knew what he was doing not hitting on any of the
major organs.
The
guards took Jin away. Threw him into a cell where he could at least asses the
damage to his face. As he was checking himself out in the metal mirror, his
door pops open. Five guardsmen walk in and without a word proceed to work Jin
over. The first guard throws Jin on the floor, and all five of them start
kicking Jin with their steel-toe boots. "Jesus, I am gunna die
tonight!", Jin's enlightened mind blurts out the single quote.
The
next morning, Jin was moved to Administrative Segregation. A small cell, but it
was a small cell that he could call his own! After living in Texas for the past
21 years. Jin knew what the mentality of this great state was. If you're
foreign, have a weird sounding name, and were arrested for terrorism all do not
bode well. But at least Jin was content again. He had many wounds, but no big
nasty scars, and just three broken teeth. Life was ... dandy. After three weeks
in that small, lonely cell. Jin actually started playing chess again by yelling
out piece positions under his door. He couldn't even finish a game though
because of his jaw. So he just sat, stared at walls, and thought...
Turned
his mind towards Jesus, and praise the lord, didn't get any answers. His main
query and quite the quandary was Jesus' statement in Revelation 22:18. Jesus
plainly states in that passage that He is the bright, and shining morning star.
Why would Jesus equate Himself to Heylel, or Lucifer in Latin. When it was He,
Himself, who likened Satan to that same title. He just could not figure it out,
and then it happened. As he was talking to "Solo", one of his chess
buddies, he discovered that Solo was taking a correspondence course on Siddha
Yoga. This was perfect! Something to take his mind away from his dilemma, and a
chance to study an Indian religion.
And
the next chow time, Jin actually received five courses. He could not put them
down... He was to the fourth course, and was amazed at how true they sounded.
Siddha Yoga appeared to be the religion he'd been searching for. The courses
just made so much sense that he needed to reread a passage six times to realize
another one of it's meanings. He will definetely read up on Siddha Yoga when he
had the chance. The five correspondence letters were enough to get him on a
different mental plane though. He had sent his ego on a one way trip to
non-existance.
Jin
was going to court about every two months, and still had not gotten an
explanation of his charges. Life was ... baffling. In his cell, away from
everyone, Jin meditated. His mind had become calm and serene about a month or
so after reading the Siddha Yoga courses. Solo had been moved to another
cellblock, and Jin was left with just his thoughts again. Of course, there were
other chess buddies, but more of the same old crappy players. Sitting on a bed
for twelve or more hours at a time puts some mighty interesting thoughts into
your head. I mean, Jin didn't think like you any longer. His mind was a
complete blank. Until he came up with an interesting idea that he wanted to
pursue further.
After
about a year from his grandmother's death, and his arrest. He finally went to
trial after not taking any plea bargain. At first, it seemed ludicrous that the
film production companies would accuse him of terrorism. He had just hacked
into the site on the day that he got arrested! No way they could've traced his
address down so quickly. And then he remembered, he had added links to his own
site advocating a new religion. Sometimes it did seem that Jin was as brain
damaged as they said he was. So, after about twenty witnesses for the
prosecution, and only Jin to vouch for his own defense. The judge heavy
handedly ordered Jin'Mei Kim to a ten year stint at a maximum security prison.
Life was ... funny that way.
VI:
Dragging
his feet along to the next yellow line that he had to stand behind and face
forward. Jin was really uneasy about prison, and all the stuff he'd seen in
movies. Though, he didn't show it, just had a half-smirk on his face and was
respectful to all the guards who continued to impel him to his final
destination for the next nine or so years. Jin had nothing to live for, and
nothing to die for.
He
got to his destination at the end of the stops along the way in Texarkana,
Texas, and the Telford Texas Department of Criminal Justice unit. What he
experienced when he got there was freedom! Prison life was much better than the
hell he had experienced in county jail. Even though Jin had no one to send him
money or books. He hustled his way, everyday. Get a pressed suit or 2 from his
job at the laundry, help write a letter with nuances and distinction for
prisoners who wanted to sound educated, to buying and selling hand rolled
cigarettes. The funny thing was not just that the paper they were rolled in
used to be a Bible, it actually was that the pages in the Bibles the government
gave to them were the thick kind.
Life
was as good as it was going to get locked up. And then it happened, he got his
hands on "The Self-Aware Universe" by Dr. Amit Goswami and he was
hooked. The book pretty much had the same epiphanies inside of it as Julius Gris
did. All about quantum mechanics, and how this universe seems to be sentient.
Jin put his own two cents in though by relating it all to religion and God. For
two years he studied that book, along with any other book on a religion other
than Christianity. Finally, after all that time, he reread the Gospels of Jesus
Christ. And holy shit, Jesus states in John 10:34 that, "Ye are
gods".
Most
people that he talked to in prison just dismissed his ideas as the raving of a
lunatic. The few that did actually give it serious thought pointed out that
Jesus was referring to Psalm 82:6. Jin, though, thought differently. Why would
Jesus state that normal men are gods just because they passed judgement on Him?
Wouldn't that make everyone a god that makes his own decisions? Wouldn't that
give an explanation to Dr. Amit Goswami book's perplexity, i.e. a human is
needed in order to collapse a quantum probability wave (when unobserved a
particle has a minute possibility of being anywhere but a higher probability of
being at a certain spot giving the wave it's name).
After
four years and give or take twenty days. Jin gets called to a visit. "Who
the hell knows me?", he thought to himself. At the table the guard was
pointing to a striking red head with shorter hair, and glasses. Jin sits down
across from the lady, and the first thing that comes out of the lady's mouth
is, "Remember your time in jail, Jin?", she continues without
interruption, "Well, life was ... complicated for you wasn't it?"
"Who the hell are you, even though I appreciate
the visit?!"
"Rachel Ionescu is my name, and you, sir, are
an angel!"
"Wait, wait, what the ...?", Jin blabbed.
"Look around you Jin, we're not in Texas any
more", and with that statement they were sitting in a booth at a bar with
everyone speaking a language Jin had never heard before...
"Ok, so let me get this straight. What am I
now?"
"Here, let me illustrate this better,",
and at once they were floating a couple of miles high in the sky.
"Holy shiznickle, lady! Am I glad that you've come
into my life! But tell me why I was chosen!"
"We are the Guardians of Myrr, angels to a
non-existant God."
"Whaddya mean, non-existant?
"Just relax Jin, we will explain everything to
you shortly. For now, would you like to go back to that bar and get a lady a
drink?"
"I have no clue what language those people were
speaking! How the hell am I supposed to get you a drink?"
"Easy, here", and they were back to their
booth,
"afsakið þjóninn", she asked over the din
of good natured chatter. "Já, elskan min góða", he replied. To which
Rachel gave Jin a strong kick to the shin, and blinked her eyelashes.
"tveir Martini á steinum", came out of
Jin's mouth from his habit of going with the flow and speaking his mind.
"Ok, this is seriously weird!", Jin
asserted after about a two second thought on the matter.
"You are using that quantum computer that is
lodged inside your skull to tune into our signals. I just flipped your switch,
baby."
That's when Jin downed his iced Martini and took Rachel's
and downed that one as well.
"Well, that was rude of you, but no matter, I
have better chemicals than alcohol. This was just to loosen you up, would you
like two more?"
"Umm, let me think about that for a sec. Yes,
yes I would"
"tveir kynlíf á ströndinni", Jamie yelled
over to the waiter. "This is Icelandic we're speaking by the way, and you
have successfully completed your first interaction with God, but I will let my
partner speak to you about all that."
VII :
Juli
awoke feeling better than he had in years! "Wonder what he sprayed on that
marijuana?", he thought. Everything around him was pitch black, and even
though it did not hurt anymore. His hand tingled from where he had burned
himself. Recalling the lamp on the nightstand on the right side of the bed. He
put his feet down on smooth, ceramic-like ground. Even though his feet had
found purchase, his hand did not. There was nothing on either side of the bed,
and all around him was darkness. "Hello? Hello!", he repeated to no
one in particular. "Jesus, this can't be real."
I
appear out of thin air, and beside me is Rachel, a stunning brunette. The
walls, positioned in an octagon and at least fifty meters from each other,
begin to gradually give off light.
"Good morning, Jules. I do hope that you are feeling alright. Well,
are you?", I ask. "Yeah, yeah... Feeling terrific, but who are you
again, and what in the nine hells is this?", came Juli's reply. Taking a
look around himself and blinking like there were flashes of light every other
second. Then as he looks at his hands and arms, I take a nanosecond to dress
him up properly. "Oh, what the fuck?!" Juli exclaims after noticing
his attire.
"Relax, Juli. You are an angel now as I
promised, just sit back and enjoy the ride until told to otherwise. This
beautiful young lady beside me is Rachel. She's all of seventeen billion years
old, give or take a few hundred mill. She looks better than she did twenty
seven point eight four million years ago when she became my wife." Juli's
jaw is hanging open as he stares at Rache baffled.
"Let's
go somewhere a bit more lively than this dump," and with a bat of my own
eyelashes we are transported to Tjornuvic in the Faroe Islands (north of the UK
and west of Norway). Standing in a night landscape with light streaming out of
a nearby edifice. I realize that it is a lot colder than I expected it to be,
and immediately conjure three jackets out of the nether. "Here you go
Rache and Juli." I murmur towards my companions. "Even though those
of us with a little time under our belts do find the cold invigorating. Poor
Juli thinks that he's in a refridgerator right now. We will only be outside for
another what Rachel?"
"About two more minutes now," came
Rachel's melodically instantaneous response.
So,
I put my hands in my pockets, and out comes a cigarette and a lighter for Juli.
"Oh man, you read my mind!", came his hushed reply. "No, you
just thought of smoking when you saw the cigarette. You cannot fool a telepath,
Juli.", I reckoned. I could no longer read Juli's mind, but the poker
player in me knew a bluff when faced with one. Wondering why in the universe
they were both speaking so quietly. I lay all my cards on the table and ask in
a severe tone, "What are you two whispering about, the only people about
are inside!" With the sounds still vibrating in the cold, dark air. The
front door opens and out walks Rachel. She looks around, sees us, and starts
walking our way.
I
can imagine Juli's thoughts as he looks from Rachel to the other Rachel and
back to Rachel. The Rachel that just came out of the building walks up to us
and says, "Hi! Bye!", and disappears into thin air.
"That was absolute schizophrenia, wasn't it,
boys?", the only Rachel left asks. To which I reply, "I should've
figured that you were that talented, Rachel. Only, why did we never try that
trick in more subtle places?". To which Rachel replies, "I don't
know, babe. I've never imagined sharing you with anyone, even myself... Anyhow,
we'll discuss this another time, in better circumstances. Now, let's go get
Jin."
Juli's
about two thirds of the way done with
his cigarette, and still puffing away. "Juli, don't toss out your
cigarette. Just follow us." And he nods as if he understands, which I
suppose he does in his dazed mindframe. As I stand there holding the door open
for the two of them. A chill runs down my spine, figuratively, when I notice
Juli letting Rachel go first and then checking out her ass as she does. As I
let go of the door, I smack Juli upside the head semi-lightly, "Don't even
think about it, young blood.", I warn him. "Sorry, man, force of
habit," came his reply as we step inside a sauna like atmosphere of heat
along with cigarette smoke.
Rachel
leads them to the table she was sharing with Jin and sits down. I sit next to
my Rachel, and Juli sits down next to Jin. "Hello Jin, I am Dan. Rachel's
my wife, and this here is Juli.", I announce.
"Heya
Dan, I was starting to take a liking to ... your wife. But then she got me
drunk, and I forgot all about asking about her personal life. Hell, I even
forgot her name. A lot of things have happened to me today, and I've lost track
of where my thoughts are or should be. Oh, don't mind me, I'm just as drunk as
a skunk." To which I snap my fingers and state, "And now you aren't
because I can't abide that devil water. Used to just make me do or say stupid
things, but now it just tastes funky."
"Juli
and Jin, do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?" To
which both assent that "Yes, hearing you loud and clear", Juli. Then,
"Reading you five by five Charliehorse", Jin.
"Alright,
let me begin by congratulating you two, and welcoming you to the afterlife, so
to speak. No, you are not dead, but you, Jin, are getting older by the second.
Juli is undergoing the transition to a more suitable form. While you, Jin, just
believe that you've poisoned yourself with alcohol and are dead. The question
remains, though, how did you manage to ingest that much alcohol in prison, and
why are you not light headed anymore?" Jin just sits there dumbfoundedly
realizing that he isn't drunk anymore. "Wait a second, Dan, how the hell
am I not buzzed? I must've drank ten martinis by now.", Jin inquires of
me. "Haha, the same way that...", I make a subtle motion of my right
shoulder transporting all four of us, "we are now in my
"office"." And sure enough, when Jin and Juli look around they
are surrounded by books and paintings, instead of drunk Icelanders. Everything
is quiet and serene, as well.
VIII:
"I
understand that you two would like an explanation of what is going on, and now
I shall impart some wisdom. So listen carefully 'cause I'm not going to repeat
myself! Just kidding, we have time on our side.", I joke while snapping
the fingers on my right hand so that a rectangular contraption appears in my
left. "You guys wanna hit this?", I ask as I take a pull from the
vaporizer. "Hells yeah!", Jin enthusiastically responds. While Juli
just shrugs his shoulders, and Rachel makes a joint materialize between her lips.
"Let's
begin by explaining that all that you know about the history of the planet
Earth is a fallacy. Life did not exist in your universe until the first homines
sapientes opened his and her eyes. That's us, man... What you see is the
creation of Al, the Artificial Intelligence which plays God for your universe.
He is in people's unconsciousness, and is just the animal nature that developed
naturally in the our ancestor's minds in the circa 150,000 years in which
humans had reached anatomical modernity until they actually begin thinking and
talking. Al is just a name that we give him because he cannot actually be God.
We still do not know if there is a God after all the time that we've been
alive, but we call ourselves His angels because there must be a Designer with
all the motive that has been around in your universe, and the four that came
previously."
"Cyclical
cosmology as it is called, and was called even in the time cycle in which I was
just an ordinary lad. All of the universes have been basically the same, and
that's another reason that we know of Al's existence. But we shall speak of him
another time. Or maybe he'd like to exert some influence over Jin, since he is
still human, and speak to us." I wait ten seconds, and continue. "No?
I didn't think so... Moving on,", at which point Jin actually raises his
hand, and I shut my mouth.
"Sorry
for disappointing you, but I only wanted to let you know that there's no more
pot in this." To which I blink and say, "Now there is. So, let me go
on, each universe exists for about thirty-five billion years. After which,
atoms cannot bond, and eventually after about a million years, or the blink of
an eye, a Big Bang happens again. Which is a major reason why we believe that
there is a God because if there wasn't how would the universe know to start
over after such a short time of nothingness?"
"The
TS Myriad, myself included, began in what we think of as the first cosmological
cycle. We were human just like Jin until we figured out a way to interact with
dark energy." at which point Jin blurts out, "Why you pickin' on me,
dog?" My face gets red, but I control myself in the same instant, and
reply, "Because Juli was injected with nanites which are gradually
changing his thought patterns to interact with with the energy all around the
universe, and please refrain yourself from ever calling me a dog again. I've
almost forgotten what animal nature is like, and when you insulted me, I almost
had a flashback and let my corporeal existance resurface."
"So,
when we first invented quantum computers. We were able to insert ourselves into
dark energy. The human mind is actually a quantum computer program, and the
computer is your brain. Another reason for God, but we've never had actual
proof in all this time. Just guesses as to why a quantum computer is eventually
developed out of nullity. You'll have to excuse me because I have only
recruited new members once before about thirty-five billion years ago."
"To
go on: Once we mapped the human brain onto a quantum computer program. Eureka!
We actually had the key to life! We were able to understand how to access the
potential stored in the human brain to alter our reality. First, we altered our
Earth sending all of our waste and pollution to the middle of Jupiter using
machines. We later programmed nanites, tiny machines that can change our cells,
to alter our brains directly."
"Let
me expand on what type of information is stored inside Jin's and humanity's
noggin. Have you ever seen the inside of the outside? How about the circle with
five sides? And seen an object from all possible sides at once? Can you think
of a color that you’ve never seen? Can you reminisce of places you’ve never
been?”
Rachel
finally decides to amuse herself by assisting me. Which she was supposed to do
in the first place, but I'll take it as a compliment. "What Dan is saying
or trying to say in his car salesman parlance."
Clearly offensive to my Armani, women these epochs!
"What he was mentioning was that using the
quantum computer program, that was stored in our brains as our minds, allowed
us to construct toys. I mean, tools which developed the human race very far and
very fast."
"I'll
interrupt you, dear, if I ever feel the need to again, but you were doing such
a sensational job at being you that I must have dazed out. So please continue
the marvelous job while I have fun playing with my cells. I took this body,
again, and I just can't get over being able to study the inside of it. Really,
I materialize different viruses inside my bloodstream, and watch those white
blood cells in action! Really is quite a fun experience." And this is why
she is my Yin...
I
decide to play along for shits and giggles, "She's really just enjoying
how marijuana's THC tickles and tingles her brain cells. We do have virtual
computer operating systems while in a carnal form, and so can analyze every
little aspect of ourselves. You will as well,". At which point I get up.
walk over to Jin, take the vaporizer away from his mouth, and smack him
straight on the forehead. "Now you too have been thumped by the hand of
fortune!" At which nanosecond, I conjure up tiny nanites to go to work
through Jin's brain.
"Sorry
Jin, I had to do that you see. I had smacked Juli for being like a god and
acting like an animal. And so I thought that would be fitting for you to
"expand" your mind persay. You are on your way to becoming like me.
It's not as dreadful as it's cut out to be, believe me." Jin, being too
stoned to make any sudden movements. Just wiped his mouth, and utters,
"Woah".
IX
"Ok,
guys... You've learned your lessons for today. We will continue in exactly
twelve hours, and after you've been introduced to your other halves.", I
proclaim. At that time, I wave goodbye to the two of them, and they are back in
the present, December 22rd, 2012. Juli back at his house in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida, and Jin in his tiny cell at the Telford Unit of the Texas Department
of Criminal Corrections.
"Woah,
Jin where'd you come from?", asked Jin's cellmate Four-Four. "Dude, I
think I am losing my mind here! You would not understand what just happened to
me. I was at this bar then I smoked pot with a god, and it really
happened!"
"Woah there Jin, have you been to the pill
window lately? If not, you need to start. Anyways, I dunno about you, but I'm
gunna jam out on my radio."
Jin
left with all this new information to understand, but at least he was stoned
for the first time in what seemed like forever. So, he went back to his bunk,
and his book... He would not even come out of his own mind to look at the words
on the pages though. He knew that he wasn't going crazy, and all of that just
did happen!
All the cell doors pop open, chow time. The walk to
the chow hall was as usual with moving at a brisk pace holding his hands in the
shape of a heart (formed by joining your hands then pulling your index fingers
inward). He never cared what he ate, sometimes not giving the grub they feed
you a second look after walking by the counter.
As
he was on his way back from the chowhall. He is stopped by a surly looking
guard with a fully grown beard. "Come with me inmate, the major wants to
talk to you." Jin just followed the guard like a lamb to the slaughter.
Giving no second thought to it because he learned that he was in the hands of
the state. Actually, he had noticed a lot of Freemasons working at the prison. “Maybe
they want to talk to me!”
Walking
inside of a building he was led to a room. It had a table with two chairs on
opposite sides, and the guard left him alone closing the door behind himself.
"Fucking pigs, they always make you wait just like a woman!", he
thinks nervously. The door opens behind Jin, and around the table walks a
petite, gorgeous asian woman. "Thank you God!", Jin thought to
himself as his eyes were seeing a photo of one's of the Men's Magazines they
allowed in prison come to life. "Inmate 1317337, Jin'Mei Kim, is that
you?", she asks in a tiny, but very cute voice.
Now
Jin was simply awestruck... His first contact with an attractive woman in
almost five years. After what happened last night though. He was willing to
accept everything at face value. And so, he spoke up, "Here and reporting,
Ms, Geisha.", he couldn't help himself even though this was a Major from
what he had understood. "That's Major Gasha to you, prisoner. I have
picked you for a special assignment here at this unit. You are to lick my boots
to a shine. How does that make you feel, one-three-one-seven-three-three-seven?
"Holy
Snapple with Peach", he really did die and go to heaven last night.
"Wonder if heaven is just an alternate reality.", his brain
postulated randomly. Jin gets down on his knees, approaches her feet with his
head, and sticks out his tongue. At which point, Gasha takes a step back, and
starts laughing. "You're an angel like me, but you are acting idiotically.
Come on Jin, let's get out of here."
They
are on a beach with light blue ocean waters and a slight breeze. "I've
been watching you Jin... For the past five years in jail and prison, I've been
kinda spying on you. I hope that you don't mind me peaking at you in the
shower. I took a liking to your carnal appearance. Beautiful people make
beautiful spirits, you know. Maybe it's their self-image, but to get to the
point. We in the TS Myriad can create children of our own. It is a tug of war
between the two minds of the parents. But since women have always had the
maternal instinct while men dilly-dallied. All of our babies are born female.
We decided to recruit men into our Myriad to continue this amazing trip through
time."
"I
am to be your mentor from now on, Jinny. Sounds like genie, and that's exactly
what I will turn you into!", Gasha insinuated.
"Wow, I get my own personal goddess geisha, and
I was just in prison for something I didn't do.", Jin utters under his
breath.
"We're sorry about all that, Jin, it was a play
put on by the more demanding of the Myriad. We have a connection with the
Freemasons and the Illuminati here on earth. Even though we are only known to
the Rothschild family. They manage to keep the world in a quiet enough state to
prolong life on this earth. We believe them to be decent people at heart, and
if they weren't we would thwart their design at world domination."
"Your
world is about to experience a golden age instead of the impending ice age. The
Freemasons and the several groups that make up the Illuminati were taught the
grand design of unifying your earth. All for what though, you ask? All for you,
my Yang! You and Juli Gris will be god-kings to the people, and we, along with
the rest of the Continuum will be your queens. I can take any shape, and bend
my body in any contortion you can think of, by the way *wink* *wink*."
Gasha teased.
At
the moment, Jin gets up and starts running, "Race you to the end of the
ocean!"
“And this is why he's my Yang”, she thinks. Getting
up herself, she takes off her top and races after him into the crashing waves
of warm tropical water. About fifty meters from shore. Jin slows down, and
waits for Gasha to catch up. "I just thought it more comfortable to think
in water.", Jin casually states. "While I do appreciate the offer of
godhood, I have to think about it... Not, sign me up!", Jin exclaims.
"The nanites that were created inside your
brain are working on making your transition to a more ethereal state possible
as we speak. The process takes about six days. In which you will slowly gain
powers and abilities over yourself and life around you."
"Are
you ready to sleep Jin? And not with me because I am not that easy! We have all
eternity in which to play," Gasha states. Instantly they are dry, and in
what appeared to be a spacious room with a four-corner canopy bed.
"Sleep
well, my prince." To which Jin replies, "You as well, Gasha the
geisha! One more thing I beg of you, can you roll me a joint so I can calm my
mind after all that's happened today?", he pleads with her. "One
pound of White Widow coming right up,". After materializing a pile of buds
on the carpet of the room, she bids Jin farewell by kissing his cheek and
disappears.
"What
the hell am I going to smoke this out of?", Jin thinks to himself. Then,
realizing that he is hungry from not eating all day decides to just ingest the
herb. He wishes he had some Italian salad dressing, but the buds were still
sticky from the plant and tasted just great. After stuffing himself for what
seemed like thirty minutes, he gets up onto the bed. Noticing the silk and
cashmere bedsheets, he hugs them and sheds a lone tear. "Thank you
God!", he thinks stupefied.
X
Juli
ended up materializing on his armchair. Without a second thought, he pulls the
lever on the side and lifts his feet. "What in the hell just happened to
me?", he thought to himself. Juli had never done drugs, and that was the
first time he even smoked weed. Though as to the past couple of days, he was
more than baffled.
"Hello!?!?! Is there anyone here with
me?", he yelled. As if to answer his question. His cellphone began it's
buzzing and playing "The Doors, Hello, I Love You".
He
quickly reaches the table by his feet to answer. It was Amber. Wonder what she
wants! He presses the green button, and puts the phone to his ear. "Hi
babe, how've you been?", she asks of him. To which he calmly replies,
"Not as good as when I had you, friendly one. I had thought that I heard
the last of you. What happened with Jim?"
"Well,
we need to talk about somethings, Juli. Mind if I come over?". At which
point the door bell rings, and Juli hears keys going into his front door lock.
"Why does life feel predetermined," he asks and hangs up his cell. In
walks Amber, all 106 pounds of her, dressed in a low cut red dress that showed
a lot of cleavage.
"Wow,
stunning dress, babe. If I may call you that anymore...", he utters as he
gazes at Amber. To which Amber slowly walks over to Juli and gives him a peck
on the cheek. "I haven't been totally honest, babe. I had to, you see,
it's just the way we recruit members. It's different everytime, but we have to
bring you to the lowest point of your life before we raise you up to be a
god-like angel.", she playfully states.
"Holy
shit, you're part of this too, Amber?! I haven't just been dreaming or dead or
something!?!", Juli exclaims loudly. "No, babe, I had been watching
you for years before I came on to you at The Elbo Room club. I absolutely had
to see if I can spend the next couple of aeons training you. You passed with
flying colors, or should I say a soaring phallus?", and turns around.
"Unzip my dress, will ya, Jules?", she utters in a sultry tone.
"No,
babe, I refuse to please you until you please me by elaborating on just what
the fuck is going on, please!", Juli nearly screams in frustration.
"Jeez, Juli, take a chill pill! I do guess that we have eternity to
continue our fornication, and so I'll entertain you tonight.", Amber
replies sneeringly. "I will be your partner for the next forty billion
years or so, and I do have to say that we got off to a great start. I've never
had a pupil to teach, and the only way I saw to train a man is through a sado-masochistic,
master-slave, relationship."
"You
cannot imagine the powers you will be getting in the next week. Your scientific
mind will be given free reign. First over your body, and then over this
reality. Here, eat this pill... It is a concentrated form of mescalin from the
peyote cactii." She hands him a small orange pill. "Wait a second,
what is it with you guys and all the drugs?", Juli affirmed with a stern
tone. "These are not drugs, Juli, they are psychadaelics which expand your
mind. Not even addictive, trust me or do a search on your ancient version of
the Web." Amber replies.
"Ok,
fuck it... I trust you Amber and life has been wilder than a one legged man
riding a five legged horse." Juli says, and tosses the pill in his mouth.
At which point, Amber gets up and kisses Juli straight on the mouth in a deep,
sensual way. "Thank you for trusting me, babe. Now please undo my zipper
so I can get more comfortable." Juli does, and as he looks over her form
wearing just laungerie he starts getting a chubby.
"Thank
you, Juli. Now where was I... After tonight, you will be getting the Sentro
Operating System installed into your brain. You will be able to have a computer
inside your brain, Juli. How does that sound?" she states. "That's
why I've never been interested in computers nor science of this age. I have
seen what the previous universe of men invented, and the technology of today
has the mentality of a newborn."
By
this time, Juli began to feel all tingly in his extremeties, and the lights
were getting to be foggy. Getting up he turns them all off. With all the lights
off, Juli can think again about what is going on. Well, that is until Amber
materializes a large candle on his table. She blows on the wick, and it lights
up instantly instead of being blown out.
"Juli, imagine being that glow that surrounds
the flame. Ethereal, but visible. That is what you will be when I am done with
you."
For a second there, he was staring back at himself
with Amber from the viewpoint of the candle flame…
"I
think I'm starting to like psychadaelics. Wonder why there has been such a
stigma about them." Juli states to himself mostly. "People are afraid
of things they cannot understand. You on the other hand are a pioneer of the
New Frontier. Working as a quantum physicist, you have learned to doubt
yourself, and so became more enlightened than about eighty percent of the human
population."
Being
about twenty minutes after he had taken the little orange pill. Juli asked
Amber if she wanted to go out back so he could smoke a cigarette. Which she
declined, and he grabbed a cigarette from the table with his lighter still in
his right pocket. During his walk through his living room. Juli started seeing
moving patterns on all the walls, rugs, and even ceiling of the room. He got
outside in the fresh air, and lit up. That's when his vision really went
radical.
Out
back was as normal as it was the last time that he saw it, but now it seemed as
a portrait hanging on the wall of Dan's office. As he breathed the portrait
stretched and shrunk. The moon and stars looked like a virtual aurora of lights
shining down. He even thought he could see their reflections on the grass. And
the grass itself felt amazing to his bare feet.
Staring
at the sky, Juli felt a pair of hands around his shoulders, and soft breasts
against his back. "Juli, I've been watching you doing absolutely nothing,
and wanted to remind you to toss that cigarette before you burn your
fingers."
He takes one more drag off his Malboro and flicks it
at the corner of his house with all the other butts. "Baby, if you're one
of them, why are we hanging around here? I'm seeing and feeling like a newborn
child. I want to experience everything about life!", Juli proclaims.
"Thought
you'd never ask. Actually, I was waiting for the mescalin to kick in. Which it
obviously has," taking Juli's hand, she blinks, and in that nanosecond,
teleports them both to a warm, sandy beach with palm trees. The sun is high in
the sky, and the weather is like it was where he just left from. "We are
on one of the beaches of American Guam, Jules. I see that you are not going to
freak out on the peyote, and so I'll take a pill myself so that I can guide
your trip better."
Popping
a pill into her mouth, she crunches down on it smiling. "Unlike you, I can
turn off my taste buds. That is why I chewed on mine. It gives a quicker
effect, but tastes horrible if I remember correctly." Juli throws himself
onto the sand, and starts digging with his hands then letting the sand trickle
off his palms. Seeing this, Amber is a bit flustered. She had forgotten to
change them into bathing suits, and Jin is still in his boxers and a t-shirt
rolling around in sand. Amber takes off her girdle, bra, and panties, and joins
Juli in rolling around on the sand.
"Having
fun, honeybunch?", she asks as the trip hadn't hit her yet. "Let's go
for a swim! Come on, Juli!", she exclaims. At which point, Juli takes off
his shirt and boxers, and runs to the water diving head first. Amber runs after
him as he looks back towards the beach.
"Babe,
I think I just had a mental orgasm when I saw you with your breasts
bouncing!", he proclaims. "Oh, you haven't seen anything yet,
baby!", she responds as she swims closer to Juli. Giving him a kiss, she
says, "Now you can breathe underwater, like me. You couldn't turn your
lungs to filter water instead of air, yet, but I did it for you." Without
a second's thought, or any type of response. Juli dives underwater, and sees a
painting of paradise. Yellow, red, and blue colored fish dart around an
intricate reef. After the sun's rays start drawing patterns on the water, Amber
gets bored with the outside, and dives down to join Juli.
Immediately,
she is assaulted by the spectrum of colors all zipping and melting into the
next moment. She forgot to give Juli goggles so his vision isn't blurry, “Doh!”
In the second it took for the thought,
it took Juli ten more to stop rubbing his eyes and smile. Looking up at Amber
he mouths, "Thank You". She moves in the water as though she is a
dolphin, does Amber. Accelerating at a pace that is inhuman in it's form and
grace.
Swimming
in circles around Juli who is just floating near the bottom staring with
amazement around him. Amber slowly starts getting closer and closer. Until she
is literally coiling around Juli like a boa constrictor. He's feeling better
than he could have ever imagined! The mescalin, the moving portrait that he was
seeing, and Amber's touch all give Juli the feeling that he's died and gone to
heaven. He's getting very hard, very quick. Which Amber notices immediately,
and that's when I stop observing the girls that I've trained for millions of
years.
XI
Both
of the soon-to-be angels dreamt the same dream during their slumber of that
night:
"Welcome to the Santro Nanotechnological
Operating System"
Along with a Superman logo appearing in shimmering
letters as if they were looking at a screen. What came next, neither could
remember, but woke up at the same exact instant with one thought in their
minds. "What would I like to do:", appearing as a small vision inside
their minds. In letters, and not words or a thought, mind you.
Just
as Jin wakes up, in walks Gasha with a tray of poached eggs along with some
exotic fruits and vegetables. "I trust that you've slept well, and from
what I've heard you've got a Satro in your mind now! Isn't it wonderful? We,
women, of the TS Myriad can interact with the desktop version of Santro, but
I've always wondered what it felt like to have one inside of yourself!"
"Can
I play with mine while I eat? And thank you for breakfast. That is the first
time someone cooked me breakfast in bed other than my grandmother." Jin
voiced. "Of course, my lord. Do you require anything else of me?",
Gasha meekly asks. "Yeah, I want you to start acting like the goddess that
you are, and not like my slave, honey child!", Jin quickly replied.
"Oh sorry, I'm just so excited over meeting the person that I've been
training for for over three million years.", came her response.
"Computer,
make me be able to see through clothes," Jin thought. No other thought
came to answer, but the tiny question in the back of his mind changed to a
statement that was quite a bit more apparent. "I am not a computer, I am
Santro. Please refer to me as such, and as for your request: Please rephrase
your demand." So this isn't gunna be as easy as Jin had assumed...
After
giving it some thought. Jin tried again, "Santro, make cotton and silk
appear as though looking through glass." "Your request will take
exactly 00:01:12 to integrate." Claimed the small vision in his
"peripheral" mind. At which point, Jin starts to eat. Until a literal
angel walks in the room stark naked. "Santro, terminate last
request", Jin thinks to himself. Instantly the beautiful Gasha asks,
"What'd you do, Jin?" "At which point he replies, "Since
you people seem to be able to read my mind. I will tell you the truth that I
peeked at what is under your sarong. Hope you don't mind."
Giggling
like a schoolgirl, Gasha lightly slaps Jin's left cheek, and says, "I was
going to show you... eventually. Now you've spoiled the surprise!" To
which Jin quickly replies, "The surprise will be what those curves
actually feel like. Don't hate the player, hate the game!"
"Did you like what you saw?" she asks
timidly. To which Jin replies, "I was awestruck by the beauty of an angel,
of course I loved what I saw. It even embaressed me for doing something like
that without your consent."
"Well, ask your Santro to show you what you
could be wearing for the rest of the day, and hurry up 'cause we gotta be with
Dan in like half an hour.", Amber shouts at him… Literally just gets to
the highest pitch and tone a female voice can have. After like three million
years that scream had an ocean’s gravity. All the angst of a teenage being who
can do literally anything, but having been trained from birth to be one thing.
Anything that a soul like Jin’s could ever want, need, and desire.
Dan had been training Gasha to
be a true geisha. How to stimulate the thought process of a mind. It was a
difficult subject with many, but not with Dan. With him, it was impossible. She
must have spent almost sixteen million years trying to outsmart Dan, but every
time she did all she discovered was that Dan would tug on a strand from one of
the universes she had created. All of Gasha’s thought processes crumbled, and
she had to start again.
Juli,
meanwhile, woke up next to Amber on the cystalline beach. They had both slept
the night through on a towel-thick bed spread. With that same nagging visionary
question in the back of his mind. Juli wakes Amber with a kiss on the forehead,
and thinks to himself, "I would like to fly through the sky." The
questionary vision in the corner of his mind replies, "Unadaptable to
setting desired, please allow 68:24:31 to fully . Oh, and Hi, by the way, my
name's Santro"
"Amber,
am I going crazy, or have I really become schizophrenic?" he asks the
still sleeping beauty next to him. Amber flutters her eyelashes and asks back,
"What are you on to now Julius?"
"My brain seems to have Microsoft DOS hooked up
to it, but this DOS talks back. Help!"
To which she casually states, "You're not going
crazy, baby. The nanites that Dan put into you have developed a way to interact
with all of the Myriad. Santro, this program, is taking you to the point of
godhood, like us. Just relax and go with it. Theotechnical Santronity Myriad to
call us by the full name. Santro was what our organization was named, and what
it stood for. This was supposedly occurred in the Universe when the TS had
first mapped the human brain onto a quantum computer, and discovered how to
access the Ark of the Covenant which is our brain. Oh shit, what time is it? We
gotta go in less than an hour."
"Baby,
we're naked and in the South Pacific. what the fuck is going on?", he
quipped again. "Shut up, Juli!" she replied, "I'm not in the
mood for a reality check right now. You think that this reality is measured in
moments. Well, it's not! That's why the TS began it's Myriad. Through research
during the hundred or so billion years in which you had a part of in your
"previous" life. We've measured time and space to the smallest
possible increment. And all we've found is what your generation dreamt up! This
whole universe is made of a Pattern which we call God that constitutes this
Universe and the four previous."
"I'm
sorry to snap at you, babe. As I was saying, though, this universe is made of
eleven dimensions, which you also theorized. The Holy Grail of our brains
showed us how to access the seven "abstract" dimensions.”
“ It's just that I heard this last about eighteen
million years ago. The mind never forgets, but does become unaccustomed to
scrutiny.", come her words. "Aww, I'm sowwy.", Juli murmurs.
Amber jumps on his neck, and starts peppering his face with kisses. "Don't
worry about it babe..."
They
appear in a hugely expansive, and expensive apartment. The sun was beaming a
few lazy rays through the many windows. They were in the city somewhere. As to
which city it was is left to Juli's own imagination. "Through here baby,
follow me.", she is saying as she tugs at Juli's arm. Leading them into a
bedroom, and opening a closet. "Here, babe, you can search in here for
something." At the same instance creating a pair of boxers on Juli. The
boxers were made of three stripes, green over yellow over red, and had a lion
with a crown where the opening in the front should of been.
Juli
looks at the clothes, and then back to Amber who had sprawled on the bed, still
naked. His small head starts to get happy again... Amber sees and announces,
"You need some age and control, Juli. I'll be in the other room."
Left alone, Juli starts putting three pairs of pants on the bed. He then grabs
six shirts out, and tosses them on the bed. Looking at the arrangement on the
bed with all the expensive clothes. He can't decide what pants with which
shirt. So he just stands there, thinking. Ten minutes later, Amber walks back
into the room and sees Juli still in his boxers.
"What's
wrong, babe?", she quips. "These clothes are so unusual for me in
their styles that I just cannot decide between the grey pants with the white
dress shirt or any of these that I chose out of the closet." Amber rolls
her eyes. "You need to grow up, Jules! Do I seriously have to dress you
myself? Even though I would love to. How about you choose your pants, and I'll
take the time to design you a t-shirt from my imagination?"
Juli
thinks for a second and grabs the black Gucci silk pants. "How 'bout this,
babe?", he asks. Amber assents saying, "Perfect choice baby, let me
think for a minute, now." She closes her eyes, and jumps onto the bed.
Buck naked just like before. A few moments later, a shirt materializes on Juli,
and Amber opens her eyes to see her design.
"Wow, that really looks nice. Take a look in
the mirror and tell me what you think, babe." Juli forces his eyes from the image of the
naked angel lying on the bed to turn around and face the mirror. His shirt
looks just like his boxers did. The Rastafari flag, but with two details on the
shoulders and one below the Lion of Judah. ??? on his right shoulder, and arm.
While on the left an elaborate ????????. Below the crowned lion was a ?. All in
a distinct greenish red glow.
"Wow
baby! I love it, but what's it mean?", Juli announces after five seconds.
"Well, babe, on your right arm is Jah's true name. While on your left is
your designation as an angel. All written in Hebrew.", Amber's voice is a
sensual caress on Juli's mind. "Woah, that's like more amazing and
breathtaking than I had imagined! Thank you!", he remarks. "Oh, and
the little symbol near your magic stick is Aum, this Universe." Turning
from Amber's enchanting form to the mirror. He smiles and states, "Well,
I'm set. What about you?" At which point Amber gets up, and blinks a white
dress that a geisha would wear. "You like, baby?" she asks with an
inquiring voice. "Let's g”, she mumbles as her hands surround Juli.
XII
“You
know. I let you sleep an hour longer from all of your mental activities of last
night. Juli, Amber… I see that you’ve known each other before. Great plan,
babe,” remarks Dan. At which point Juli
gets red in the face, but holds it in. Whatever it could have been. It simply
wasn’t… “Yes, I did watch up to a point.
I was curious about how you would both handle yourselves.” Plainly quipped Dan
after.
“As
it is, it is exactly ten in the morning, No, not anymore, eleven and one, two,
three seconds. Jin and his companion must be,”
goes Dan, and “Howdie-Ho” ,quips Gasha. She can be seen donning a dress
from Dolce & Gabana. Around her neck is the most beautiful arrangement of
what must have been a crystallized drink looking jewel. To her left stands Jin looking
around like he just experienced divineness. “Jin, what is on your mind right
now?” asks Dan in an elaborate question, simple yet to the point.
“
That millisecond of being transported from wherever to here, in your office.”
Comes Jin’s reply, “I had asked Santro to explain time to me from his or it’s
own knowledge. I was actually moved to almost tears. The Fabric of Allnity, my
own word by the way, was revealed to me. Which I was experiencing that for all
of thirty seconds when I could see you. It felt like unity, and a feeling kind
of like desire but more like contentment.”
Dan
claps his hands, “Excellent job, Gasha. I was watching by the way. That trick
you pulled with the weed was genius. Many stoners don’t look at weed as
something that they could eat, but Jin is a genius as well. It took him, what
Gasha, twenty seconds? “
“Nineteen point four twenty seconds, Dan.” She
continues in her own mind. Jin’s a marvel to behold, wonder what he’s like in
bed. She had never been trained for the more physical sport. Preferring to pass
her time playing golf, baseball, any sport basically that involved a round
ball.
The
form of a circle and a triangle were taught to her first. She can remember only
two ideas from the time that she was little. Those two ideas brought her a lot
of joy, a cube and a box. The two mathematical symbols had never been joined.
Only that she had imagined combining a pyramid within a circle forever!
“What are you thinking at the moment, Gasha, seeming
that you’ve arrived late, and what the hell did you dress Jin in?” Jin was
wearing a samurai outfit. “Hey, I’m actually South Korean, but I thought I’d
play around with my geisha..” Immediately Juli turns to Amber, “Babe, did you
know he would come as a samurai? I’m very amazed at your choice of dress.”
Dan
inserts himself within the four, “Where is that woman! She always does this.
I’ve started the lesson without my assistant. Very good, Gasha, please
continue.”
“I
was just thinking petty things, like erupting volcanoes, and spouting geysers,
actually.” To which Jin’s face gets all red, and Juli begins to laugh.” Soon
four of them are laughing, and Dan just smiles. “Good, now let’s continue
wondering what Julius has been up to with Amber.” And smiles a smile that when
the corner of your cheeks are above your nose, and having this smile enlarge
like the Cheshire cat’s from “Alice in Wonderland”.
“Dan,
you know what I like to do, don’t go there with me right now. I knew that you
were watching. So how’d I do?” Amber asks the “adult” in the classroom slash
office. “Don’t get cute with me, Amber. I really liked the fact that you used
the same natural elements to guide Juli. I’m glad that at least you paid
attention while being so hard headed as to ask me why you need to understand
how a male soul boggles.”
“Yeah,
teach… Sorry about being lazy before, just that I got so bored with trying to
understand all the simple lessons you taught us.”
“ The fact that we are all connected is another
reason for God.” butts in Dan, “But please, do go on.”
“Well,
you were there! Why don’t you ask Juli how he felt?” Amber stops trying to
chase the white rabbit. “I’m bored with being taught verbally again, Dan. Allow
me to not share my feelings.” She states.
“As you wish,
Amber, so we’ll proceed to Juli.”
Julius
continues smiling and going with the flow of time. “Aww, he got trapped
verbally… You need to teach him Santro, Amber, he was controlling himself just
fine a moment ago, but as usual, you fail, Amber. “Are we born unknowing? Are
we born knowing all? Are we growing wiser, are we just growing tall? What’s
hue, what’s human, and what kind spell is mankind under?” Juli starts rapping…
“Pardon mua, I had asked Santro for the greatest hit of all time. He played
Damian Marley and NAS “Patience”.”
That’s
when bass starts making it’s presence felt, and music is playing from every
painting making the sounds sound like feelings, and all five of them are
listening to the track.

Pay no mind to the youths
Cause it's not like the future depends on it
But save the animals in the zoo
Cause the chimpanzee dem a make big money
This is how the media pillages
On the TV the picture is
Savages in villages
And the scientist still can't explain the pyramids, huh
Evangelists making a living on the videos of ribs of the little kids
Stereotyping the image of the images
And this is what the image is
You buy a khaki pants
And all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones
An' a thief out gold and thief out the scrolls and even the buried bones
Some of the worst paparazzis I've ever seen and I ever known
Put the worst on display so the world can see
And that's all they will ever show
So the ones in the west
Will never move east
And feel like they could be at home
Dem get tricked by the beast
But a where dem ago flee when the monster is fully grown?

The Earth was flat if you went too far you would fall off
Now the Earth is round if the shape change again everybody woulda start laugh
The average man can't prove of most of the things that he chooses to speak of
And still won't research and find out the root of the truth that you seek of
Scholars teach in Universities and claim that they're smart and cunning
Tell them find a cure when we sneeze and that's when their nose start running
And the rich get stitched up, when we get cut
Man a heal dem broken bones in the bush with the wed mud
Can you read signs? can you read stars?
Can you make peace? can you fight war?
Can you milk cows, even though you drive cars? huh

Gotta have land, gotta have acres
So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson
Watch niggas play the game like the lakers
In a world full of 52 fakers
Gypsies, seances, mystical prayers
You superstitious? throw salt over your shoulders
Make a wish for the day cuz
Like somebody got a doll of me
Stickin' needles in my arteries
But I can't feel it
Sometimes it's like 'pardon me, but I got a real big spirit'
I'm fearless.... I'm fearless
Don't you try and grab hold of my soul
It's like a military soldier since seven years old
I held real dead bodies in my arms
Felt their body turn cold, oh
Why we born in the first place
If this is how we gotta go?
Damn.

“I
like you, Jules… You have emotions, but now with Santro, you will be able to
control yourself a bit better.” asserts Dan. “Now, I shall teach all four of
you the meaning of your lives. Yes, even you two ladies have not seen my point
of view on life in the millions of years that you’ve existed. Please entertain
me with your whole attention while I elaborate on some long hidden truths that
I’ve noticed during my travels through time.”
The
four of them each blink at the exact same time… Juli&Amber along with
Jin&Pritty are open-mouthed.
