hi ho silver away

What are you doing James?

An experiment.

Ok, I guessed as much.

What do you see Margo?

Er... a piece of silver.

Correct.

And now?

Nothing                ! Where’d it go?

Nowhere.

But I can’t see it?

No?

Oh – wait a minute – what’s that – oh! There it is again. How the heck? It’s come back.

You’re making the usual assumption that it moved.

What else am I supposed to assume.

You’re not.

Not what?

Not supposed to assume. You’re supposed to verify. One possibility, for sure, is that it, the piece of silver disappeared because it moved somewhere else, but that’s not the only possible explanation.

It’s the only one I can think of.

Is it?

Unless we moved – but I certainly felt nothing.

Nothing?

Oh – except my ears popped – but that was presumably from the shock of seeing it disappear.

So you like to imagine. It’s a bald assumption that hasn’t yet been verified – but now at least we have two to play with, and you never know – there might be a third.

Oh, there’s always a third.

Such as?

Hypnosis, for example.

Good. So where shall we start?

You can’t seriously be suggesting that we actually moved and the silver remained where it was – that’s insane. The room, everything around us would have had to have moved with us.

Not necessarily. People never pay too much attention to their surroundings, do they?

But how? Surely I’d have noticed if our room moved, or if we moved into another similar room.

Most likely yes, if it were another room somewhere in the 3D playspace you’re so intimately familiar with, but not if we slid along the zed axis and came to a halt in an essentially identical time-space xy location, just not at the 3D ground zero level of things.

You mean to say that it’s possible to zed shift almost imperceptibly?

Well, how do you thing so called magicians do their magic tricks.

Just by tricking people, I assume.

Not very likely. That would be much, much harder than a little zed shift, just far enough to remove or add certain features required in the magic trick.

Oh. I never...

No, it wasn’t really in our mental vocabulary, or conceptual tool box, was it?

No.

We were operating in what seemed to be a closed system – until something happened not very long ago to change all that.

Oh

And now the genie’s out – there’s no putting it back in the bottle.

Lamp

Bottle, lamp – what difference does it make?

Look James – if you made that piece of silver disappear by zed shifting – surely you’d know, wouldn’t you?

I suppose I would.

So why don’t you just fess up – tell me what you actually did?

I’m not sure I can.

What do you mean?

Well, anything involving infinity, like the i-drive, uses the mathematics of chicken or egg.

Oh

So you can never be certain which came first. It’s all to do with the quantum conundrum – the fact that observing an experiment alters the outcome.

So, you should still be able to make an intelligent guess.

The problem being – that I’m not sure which way things were going – whether you and I were on this side of reality observing the piece of silver disappearing, or on the other side materialising a piece of silver from thin air.

Hey – wait a minute – I know as a fact that we were here – I even have the transcript of our conversation.

Do you? Well that isn’t going to help.

Why not? It proves our starting point. We have a clear time line, a sequence of events.

Do we?

Yes – look.

I have a bad feeling about this Margo. Infinity doesn’t like be weighed and measured empirically.

I thought you said it’s an experiment. Surely we have to be scientific.

We do, but we need to be scientific from a quantum standpoint, as opposed to a 3D much ado about matter locus.

Oh – if you say so.

Look – allow me to try again.

Ok

But before I do – I want you to un-g

What do you mean?

G as in gravity or gravitas – kindly un-g – return to your neutral state.

Er... not sure I follow.

Otherwise you’re just going to get swept along by the tide of matter, wherever it flows. To be a good observer you not to be dispassionate, disconnected from the flow of things you are observing mentally, physically, emotionally – simply observing for what it’s worth.

Oh – well yes, that makes sense, but how do I un-g, as you put it?

By intending it – how else.

Anything else?

Well, that’s all there is to it. If you want a little ritual – then you can take three deep breaths, then Om a few times to get yourself balanced etherically – now declare 0=1 it is  i am, which states that you are part of what you are observing in the same way zero equals one

Which it doesn’t

in 3D, but does as soon as you come to the neutral, quantum observer stance at the bridge

What bridge?

Of i-drive

You mean it’s a kind of spaceship?

In a manner of speaking, yes. Once we’re in that neutrality of quantum detachedness, we’re able to observe without affecting – and then, when the desired result has swung into place, we can switch into regular observational mode and fix the result in time space.

Oh

So 0=1 it is  i am, and now breathe the two way currents, the both way flow of time and space, matter and nought that you just happen to comprise, and hey presto, things are now able to oscillate freely between states – you’re no longer attached, gravitically, to the matter of things – as long as you’ve been doing the exercises I gave you.

What exercises?

Not you Margo, Zie.

Er – who the heck is Zie.

Oh never mind. Here, let me help you with that.

Ow, that hurt.

Yes, apparently you’re jammed into a corner of time-space, here – we just need to dislodge your tether.

Hey – wait a minute – you can’t wave that thing around – you might hit me.

Most likely – but you’d never know – you’d be dead before you could say Excalibur

Not the Excalibur

Why, was there more than one?

You mean to say this is the Excalibur that King Arthur used to possess?

Not yet – he hasn’t got it till time flows back many times around the egg.

Egg?

Well, it’s a chicken at the moment, but by then it’ll be an egg, I assure you.

Oh

In the meantime, I’m just going to sever that artery in your wrist, and that one there in your leg – snick, snick – and one more, if you don’t mind – in your neck – snickety snick

You know, Merry – it really doesn’t hurt. I always imagined being cut to pieces by Excalibur would be a painful experience.

Did you? Like getting a haircut, perhaps?

Yes, I mean no.

Excellent – yes, as in no – you’re now ready to observe from a three snick vantage point.

Oh, what fun

Oh, how dull

Oh, if sheep could fly

Well? What do you see?

Apparently that piece of silver originally comes from Australia, and pops back home from time to time, conversely

As in nought – outside the gravitas of time-space

Yes, family reunions, that kind of thing – amazing the degree of sophistication in the silver community – not at all like I’d imagined minerals to be.

Anything else?

Oh, you’re in a hurry are you?

No, but continue, if you would.

Then there’s the other side of things – that silver eventually gets used in some kind of energy device and is atomised

Ah – I see

And shifts into the time of space, the space of time interface – assisting humanity as they uncouple themselves from one particularity of time and space – a kind of tardis I’d call it in my Margo state.

Ah ha. Good, good, anything else?

Of course, apparently we agree to set her free.

Her?

Yes, she’s female. Apparently we come to an agreement with her, for our good, and the greater good of all humanity – to end her enslavement and our own – to shift the value from what is perceived in things, to what is intrinsic – now that the i-drive has enabled us to go with the flow, to follow the quantum stream into layers of abundance and meaning, beyond our wildest dreams.

Ah – so that’s what we do, is it?

Yes, of course, we harness the quantum field – and silver is assisting us as equal partner – it’s a symbiotic relationship. It enables us to collapse the time-space wave function – to bring the i-drive up to speed, at which point

=1 that will do, Zie. Now, kindly place the piece of silver back on the stand and revert to what is your silver dawn – your 3D awakening – three, two, one, zero

it is  i am  astonishing, James. That piece of silver I was looking at a moment ago – apparently it’s now an integral part of the i-drive which is why it’s no longer visible. It’s a kind of quantum indeterminacy, without which no thing that we’re able to observe here in 3D could possibly be.

Blessed be nought – I think you’ve finally done it Zie.

Oh, but that would be a chicken, whereas I’m still an egg.

True, in which case, would you kindly remove us to Australia – there’s something important I need to discuss with our silver family tree.

0=1 cuckoo la la, but that’s another chapter in this uncompleting narrative – mind the gap between the train and the platform, once more unto the bridge my friend.

Breach – kindly preserve intact the works of Shakespeare – in case you hadn’t realised, Margo – they happen to be the if to our what – the other key component in our infinity drive.

Ok – in that case, once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; or close the wall up with our English dead... hi ho Silver, away!
