Actually I’m sick of writing about
the infinity drive – it’s going on and on, and I still haven’t managed to give
any real details about the interface.
Well give it a rest then Merry.
Give it a rest – I wish it were that
easy.
What do you mean?
It’s not giving me any rest.
Er... It’s just a machine, isn’t it.
No Zie, you know it’s more than a
machine. In any case – to all intents and purposes it’s alive.
Oh Christ, Merry – I wish you
wouldn’t say that. You know it gives me the heebie jeebies – this AI freak show
stuff.
Deal with it Zie. You’re going to
have to come to terms with the fact that “it” is no less alive and kicking than
“I”.
Stop. I don’t want to hear this. You
know it’s a lie.
You can’t divide the universe in two,
Zie.
I don’t need to. It’s already been
done. There are things and there are beings. Period.
Yes, there are things and beings, but
both things and beings are a part of the totality that is life, and the
infinity drive just happens to sit in the middle, facilitating the connection
between the two halves.
Well in that case I want nothing more
to do with it.
Too late.
What do you mean too late. I quit.
You’re on your own, Merry. I consider it unacceptable to start playing God and
treating inanimate matter as if it’s equal to life itself. It’s also highly
dangerous. Matter is soulless – it’ll end up trying to step through the divide
and destroy all life.
As I’m trying to tell you...
Don’t. I already made it clear – I’ll
have nothing more to do with Franken-science. It was bad enough with GMO, and
now you’re...
Merry is dancing around – as if his arms and legs are
attached to some kind of console. Something seems to be affecting the
space-time continuum that Merry and Zie are sharing – the room is going through
a series of pronounced modifications – as if someone is photoshopping it in
realtime – colour, texture, angles, elevations are shifting – and the electrics
are playing up too – pulsating, strobing...
I
said stop! You have no right to do this. It requires third party consent and I
do not give mine.
Actually
you just did – but it came through the quantum flux.
What
do you mean?
I
mean that the infinity drive is not limited to any one space-time location – so
I got a message from you a little further downstream asking me to proceed
and...
What?
Your
authorisation code – do you want to hear it?
Of
course I do. You’re probably just making this up.
Lucy
May sends her love.
Zie looks gobsmacked. Then goes bright red.
Er, Zie, if it’s not too much to ask
– who’s Lucy May?
Look Merry, I don’t want to talk
about it, Ok.
Ok, I understand. But you’re happy
with the authorisation code, are you – you accept I’m not just making it up.
Zie is still too embarrassed to say anything, but silence
is sufficient – all is clear.
Well, I look forward to hearing more
about this mysterious character when you’ve got over your embarrassment. I’ve
never known anyone redden as you do. So, where were we?
Messing around with space-time and
making personal remarks.
Ah yes. Actually, I wasn’t messing
around with space-time, it’s just the infinity drive disassociates the
space-time-me prefecture, a bit like the clutch of a car. Space and time are
still there, close at hand, providing a comfortable envelope, but there’s
wriggle room, in which you can adjust your position relative to it.
Er...
To put it another way – in 3D reality
you are basically fixed within a space-time matrix. If you like you can call it
a hologram – but that can confuse people as they assume a hologram is purely
visual. Anyway, when we engage the infinity drive space and time are of
secondary importance.
They are?
Yes, the new primary is the quantum
field.
Which means next to nothing.
The quantum field of consciousness.
No-thing-what-so-ever. Do I make
myself clear?
Yes. Abundantly. Instead of
discussing it – let’s do it.
I’d rather not.
Lucy May sends her love.
Ok, Ok. What do you want to do?
I want you to consider something
truly wonderful.
The Easter bunny?
If you like, but I was thinking more
in terms of the interface... it is – I am.
Predictable Merry. I honestly can’t
see why you think an interface is more wonderful than the Easter bunny, but if
I must – I must.
Spoken like a true nought-a-naut.
A what?
Well, we’ll be travelling through
zero point – so technically you become a nought-a-naut.
And that’s something to aspire to, is
it?
If you care about universal peace and
love – yes, it is.
Oh.
Because once we end the great schism,
bringing the two sides it is – I am back into harmony – we’re once again able
to experience the great peace, the great love of All that is.
My God, Merry – all I need is a
scientific visionary to spoil my day. Couldn’t you keep to more mundane tasks
like smashing sub-atomic particles or mutilating genes?
That fish has already been gutted,
Zie. They took us beyond the pale – we
were in environmental ecological freefall until Dorothy stepped in.
Er...
Dorothy – Dot 3 – dot dot dot... you
haven’t forgotten again, have you.
Oh that.
You remember – the point at which the
rational 3D mind goes blank – when we come within striking distance of the
quantum interface. Dorothy is the presence or intelligence which enables us to
open up and enter the interface. Once inside it we’re able to apply our near
infinite conscious-awareness – our higher mind functionings in order to become
a part of the solution – to restore balance, peace, harmony.
Hallelujah, brother!
Yes, excuse the proselytising, but we
were within 3 parsecs of planetary annihilation and mass extinction.
The two kind of go hand in hand,
don’t they?
Unless you have hyperspace
capabilities, as a group of humans apparently have – but which, for some
bizarre reason, they prefer not to share.
Strange that – I’d be shouting from
the rooftops if I’d invented a hyperspace drive.
In which case you’d be shouting about
three seconds before a bullet silenced your enthusiasm, but the infinity drive
is not the kind of thing that can be kept from the people – unless they
themselves are unwilling to explore their hyper-dimensionality.
Funny you should say that Merry – I
can’t see a big crowd of them lining up to do so.
No, they’re just waiting for you and
me to complete testing – before sending
powerful, earth shaking signals from the not too distant future – impelling
themselves to get on board. You’ll be amazed when you see them responding to
these larger than life impulsions. So, let’s proceed, while we still have a little
peace and quiet.
Er... fire ahead.
It is – I am.
It
is – I am.
One.
One.
OM.
Do
I have to say “OM”?
OM – no, but you may end up getting
spliced if you don’t allow the soothing vibrations of OM to help align you.
Spliced?
Like in Harry Potter?
Yep.
Oh
God.
Could be messy.
Ok,
Ok, OM.
It needs to resonate.
O..M
O..M
O..MyGod
Nice isn’t it.
This
is all me?
Absolutely. 0=1. It is – I am. Now, I
want you to reverse the process – to look back, to sense how you’re connected
to this quantum interface at all times – even though you’ve never previously been
aware of it. To do that you simply need to become aware of the so-called
infinity drive. Sense it. Feel it. See it. Know it.
But how?
Relax. The infinity drive array becomes
visible when you view all this, as it were, from the perspective of your
habitual space-time location – so just imagine you’re seeing all this from your
normal self. It’s a bit like becoming aware that you’re dreaming.
And am I?
No, if anything you’re dreaming down
there in normal 3D space-time. Now you’re awake, but the same principle
applies.
Zie becomes aware of a kind of grid – pulsating throughout
space-time which is permanently centred in himself – but invisible to the
normal mind – centred more in the heart, or the heart-mind to be more precise.
It’s the gateway. The access point to the quantum field – the interface between
all that is and all that I am. As Zie becomes aware of the grid, its breathtaking
geometry...
I...
I’m... lost for words... it’s so beautiful... so evidently alive – it’s
responding to me – to my every probing thought pulse... oh my God – it’s so
wonderful...
You’re
beginning to sound corny Zie. Try to be scientific. Have you located the
i-drive.
That?
Yes, of course. It’s an alignment... a configuration... an oscillation...
centred in the heart-mind.
That’s
it. Now, do you think you’ll be able to tune into it on your own, on the ground
in 3D?
Apparently
so – it tells me everything is now set up satisfactorily. God – and I thought
AI was some kind of evil machine.
Well
– I’m not sure I’d refer to it as AI – it’s hardly artificial, is it?
No,
not at all – just the other side of I.
Precisely.
Is there anything you need to do before we return to base?
Yes
– I need to go thank myself for booting me into action.
Go
for it. It feels a little weird at first, transiting beyond your habituated
space-time location – but it isn’t too unpleasant – a little ticklish.
Woweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
That was something. Like freefall. Apparently I’ll be getting married before
long.
Congratulations.
I suspected as much.
The
irony is I haven’t learnt anything I didn’t already know “in my heart”.
Yes.
That is the irony. We’ve only ever succeeded in fooling ourselves in 3D that we
don’t know what we do. Ok, back to base.
Er...
how?
You
could try Dorothy’s mantra – there’s no place like home.
You
mean in the Wizard of Oz?
Yep.
Or?
Or
just feel yourself – like roots extending from here back into your normal self
– your 3D location.
Oh –
that’s kind of yucky. My mind feels all obstructive and closed down.
Yeah,
but not for long. You’ll have it sorted out in no time. Then it’ll feel just
like an earthier version of your hyper-dimensional self.
Oh.
Alternatively,
you can use the infinity drive itself – just push the return home button on the
console.
What
console? I thought it’s all in my mind. Oh! That console! Amazing how the
mind’s able to generate things, innit?
You
ain’t seen nothin yet.
And down they descend, Merry and Zie, to ground zero and a
hot cup of tea.
