total perspective vortex

Yes, it’s nice to make contact – to approximate the business of reaching out to infinity by having so many people on board, so many people following your pronouncements that you can be sure that the universe has heard.

 

I’d say.

 

But no.

No?

 

No.

 

Er…

 

Not always.

 

No?

 

No, not in my case.

 

Er… why not?

 

Because from a 3D, human perspective infinity is reached in one of two ways – or approximated conceptually in two ways, you might say.

 

Yes?

 

Mostly people assume, without giving it much thought, that the number, for example, has to be vast if it’s referred to as "infinite".

 

Yes. That makes sense.

 

So, whatever infinity is or might be – we nearly always assume it to be immeasurable in size – i.e. bigger than anything we can possibly imagine.

 

Makes sense.

 

But there’s the other side, isn’t there.

There is?

 

Yes, absolutely, the other end of the infinity spectrum.

 

You mean the infinitely small?

 

Yes.

 

As in your readership?

 

Well, yes, for example – though a few thousand years from now the opposite is true.

 

You really are desperate Merry, to cushion your ego, aren’t you?

 

Absolutely not. My ego, of course, likes the idea of popularity and public acclaim, but ego matters very, very little where the quantum field is concerned.

 

If you say so.

 

It’s in the nature of the material we’ve been discussing…

 

Yes? Go on then.

 

Well, we couldn’t really do it if we didn’t have a huge, dispersed audience… if we hadn't achieved infinity somewhere, in order get the mandate, the contract...

 

?

 

But as the audience today is largely unable to countenance such matters, focussing instead on thinkable things, and almost always making the erroneous assumption that infinity has to be bloody big...

 

Tsk tsk!

 

Ok, thought police – how about bloomin’ big?

 

It will pass.

 

Whereas, it’s in fact a reference to the quantum state of uncertainty in which outcome is either unknown or unknowable - Schrödinger's cat eat your heart out - and can be just as easily the homeopathic side of infinity, where something is so watered down it's no longer there except an infinitesimal trace, or a memory perhaps.

 

But then why do people always assume infinity's a synonym for immeasurably big?

 

Good question. Presumably because we can generally measure stuff if it’s small enough to be countable, but not if it’s too big to be. And zero is generally assumed to be something, a definitive not, is it not, in the current paradigm. Confirmation bias, if you ask me. But conversely, when you’re dealing with statistics the opposite is true, a very small, countable sample can become infinite, or near enough not to matter.

 

Really? How so?

 

If you have a huge number of measurements – like a trillion coin flips or raindrops falling or anything you like – you come closer and closer to achieving the perfect statistical average – don’t you – which is 50% heads and 50% tails, for example.

 

Whereas if you flip a coin once…

Or possibly even not at all – then there’s no knowing what you’ll get, or whether you’ll even be able to calculate an average.

 

Seems a rather facile argument, if you ask me.

 

Yes. I agree. It seems very unconvincing, which is why it’s generally overlooked – but then we’re always looking at infinity, like life itself, from one perspective – which just happens to be massively ego- or humancentric.

 

And you think we can avoid that?

 

No, I don’t.

 

Then what on earth are you complaining about?

 

I’m not. But as we shift more fully into the quantum age and our consciousness continues to adjust to the realities of uncertainty dynamics – the true nature of infinity – we begin, or will begin at some point – to allow consciousness out of the bag, or perhaps I should say “off the leash”.

 

And what?

 

Consciousness is, like the cat, somewhat curious.

 

It is?

 

Not in a needy or greedy way – but yes – it likes to expand – it likes to take in more than a strictly 3D diet of things-in-hand permits.

 

So what exactly can it do, when off the leash, as you put it?

 

It can take in a wider perspective of so-called “time”, for instance – feeling or sensing what we might vaguely and somewhat inaccurately refer to as “the future”, peeking over the fence into the next garden.

 

You mean we can see into the future?

 

No, not exactly – but the future is only a meaningful concept in a finite space-time reality as long as we're unaware of the uncertainties inherent to any inertial or space-time frame. As soon as you realise that all roads lead to Rome – that every “time” and “place” is somehow connected at the nexus, the hotspot that is either me – or somehow connected to the vortex I seem to be part of – then yes, in a manner of speaking – the future does become accessible, we might choose to dive down and swim into an adjoining cave.

 

Wow. That would be truly amazing, if it were true.

 

But more than that…

 

What?

 

We can project or reach far beyond. It’s like being able to detach from one spot and skim across the surface upstream or downstream – I would be able to impact or affect what we refer to somewhat vaguely, or ambiguously, or misleadingly as the future.

 

You mean we will be able to affect the future?

 

Yes – in the same way you can if you’re all heading one way and someone throws or fires a projectile into the future, so to speak, i.e. ahead of your position – knowing you’ll arrive there in a minute or two.

 

So… but that’s not really affecting “the future” is it?

 

How not? If I fire a capsule of superglue up the track and we are all marching that way – not only do I know we’re all about to get stuck, but I also know how I might be able to avoid it, and I might know exactly where it will be.

 

Ok – but that’s not exactly “the future” is it? It’s just really ahead.

 

True – but once you start engaging the quantum field, working with “infinity” you’re no longer bound to stay on your square – no longer to be locked to a specific space-time configuration or space-time peg. You can pull it up and hop through the fabric of consciousness into another configuration – another peg – which will look and act like you’ve moved through time or space miraculously – won’t it – unless your viewers are able to detach their peg and skip through the fabric of consciousness without passing out – without slipping back to the old default central point where you hitherto spent your whole existence.

 

Er… all this is fascinating Merry – but frankly – it’s all talk and as you know – I’m a sceptical thinker.

 

Yes, whatever.

 

And frankly – I think infinity is much better off being left to the expanding circle side of immeasurability, rather than the Mandelbrot zoom – ever further, ever deeper shrinking into a fictional zero point.

 

Ah ha – so you realised that the zero point is a fiction, no less fictional than 1 – the numeric representation of completeness, of wholeness, of all that is?

 

Well yes – I did – but it isn’t exactly contentious, is it, or particularly difficult to grasp, for that matter.

 

Most people assume zero is a given – the absence of something and therefore finite – but the absence of something can never be finite, can it – not when you start to investigate more closely.

 

Oh dear. Here we go again.

 

Look – I don’t wish to pursue that line of inquiry any further.

 

What a relief.

 

Instead, I simply wish you to consider the case of balance.

 

Balance?

 

The balance between the infinite within – ever “smaller”, spiralling down deeper and deeper – into the atom and beyond, or else the no-time –  the insufficient time to make measurements or calculations – to allow statistical certainties to arise, on the one hand…

 

And?

 

And the infinite that we see all around us in our 3D reality – the infinity of billions of people living their lives, all apparently independently of one another, in a universe that is said to be almost infinitely large and still, apparently, expanding, and so on, and so on…

 

You want me to think about all this? Seems a tall order, if you ask me.

 

No. Thinking? What could that possibly achieve.

 

Precisely. End of story.

 

I want you to breathe it.

 

Breathe it?

 

Yep. I’ve set up the livestream, so to speak. You’re going to find it not impossibly difficult to now connect with a conscious state – a conscious awareness in which infinity is the prime condition of your own existence, your own being – in which – dare I say it – you are sandwiched or suspended between a rock and a hard place – between the fire and ice of utter chaos and utter entropy.

 

*****! You basically want me to experience the total perspective vortex.

 

More or less. A little information for our audience would be helpful Zie.

 

Ok – let me see what I can find… Click-click-click. Ah, here we are:

The Total Perspective Vortex was a machine built with the intention of showing beings the infinity of creation, which became used as a method of torture. It first appeared in the Secondary Phase of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series, when Zaphod Beeblebrox was subjected to the vortex and became the first person to survive it. The Vortex is a device that was built as a practical application of the theory of atomic interactivity. The idea is that, if every atom of the universe is affected by every other atom of the universe, then it is theoretically possible to extrapolate a model of the entire universe using any single piece of matter as a starting point. The Vortex does this employing a piece of fairy cake as its base of extrapolation. [source: the Hitchhiker’s guide to the universe wiki]

 

Excellent – what a wonderful invention.

 

Except that it killed everyone by overloading the circuitry of minds that are not designed to handle contemplating infinity.

 

Naturally – except for…

 

Zaphod Beeblebrox – presumably because he was infinitely irrational.

 

Perhaps – or a mathematical certainty – sooner or later there’s always going to be one, isn’t there – who bucks the trend – who all-the-world’s-a-stage detaches from the matter in hand – the business of being thingfully – and allows things to float unconditionally, without the least concern –

 

Well I’m hardly Zaphod Beeblebrox, am I? Getting me to contemplate infinity from both ends, whether using a piece of fairy cake as the trigger, or getting my mind to swim upstream-downstream at the same time – is a no-brainer – isn’t it? Something’s gonna snap.

 

Yes. I think you’re right.

 

And you’re happy about that?

 

Well, I try to stay detached.

 

Indeed? So, if you’re so sure you have millions of people reading this in the “future”.

 

Millions?

 

Ok, billions. Happy now?

 

Billions?

 

Jeez…

 

Tsk tsk!

 

For crying out loud Merry – who cares? Trillions, quadrillions – they’re just numbers aren’t they? Endless iterations, endless variations of the zero one theme – in which your zero or your one is a slightly paler shade of white…

 

Funny the way that song keeps coming back to the blog every year or so.

 

What blog?

 

Oh, nothing. Yes. Sorry. You’re absolutely right. Numbers are just numbers. They are meaningless, aren’t they, and yet tuning into the infinite where our ideas and story culminate in a complete shift in the awareness of this world – tuning into that moment which originates here in this discussion between the two of us – that’s a powerful mind-matter bridge. That’s what’s going to sustain you when you take the plunge and experience our Total Perspective Vortex.

 

You mean I’m going to be cushioned, or protected in some way by the minds of all those imaginary people in the future who for some bizarre reason swallowed your pseudo-science hook-line-and-sinker?

 

Yes. I guess that’s what I mean – if you want to put it that way. Of course, where infinity is concerned, every possible eventuality, every conceivable outcome somewhere becomes a given, an absolute certainty – doesn’t it – if infinity is to be credited with the full faith and trust in its unlimitedness.

 

I suppose so, theoretically at least – but not sure I want to put my life in the hands of such an unproven hypothesis.

 

You don’t really have much choice Zie – at the end of the day – do you?

 

I don’t?

 

No. Not really.

 

How do you mean?

 

Well – the Total Perspective Vortex was the one certainty in all this, right from the start.

 

Right from the start of this conversation today?

 

Nope.

 

Right from the start of our friendship?

 

Yes, but then again no.

 

Right from the start of everything – the universe and all?

 

Yes – honestly Zie – stop trying to pin things down. Just trust the rhetoric. Trust the sales pitch. Trust the marketing logo. The…

 

He’s insane. He’s as bad as Zaphod Beeblebrox. Come to think of it – Merry – are you somehow related to him?

 

Do I have two heads?

Not exactly, no – but sometimes I wonder.

 

It’s a lot simpler than all that Zie.

 

What is?

 

The hypothesis has to be tested – constantly – otherwise we don’t know anything.

 

What bloody hypothesis?

 

Tsk tsk…

 

Ok, you're sorely trying my patience Merrimus Infantilissimus.

 

Yes – infinity always takes us to the point of personal aggravation and then beyond – to a factor of 798 billion – or thereabouts.

 

So why do it? Why not just give your blasted infinity a blessed break – let it go catch some fish or collect mushrooms – really whatever it likes…

 

I do, all the time – but infinity has this astonishing knack of being able to do everything and anything in almost no time at all – so we’re back where we started – testing the hypothesis of whether you, I, or any of this is ultimately real.

 

And the only way to do that is to lock me into the Total Perspective Vortex – risking my life, my mind, my sanity?

 

Well yes – I guess so – otherwise – how are we going to prove my audience numbers are actually real?

 

You mean…

 

No, I…

 

You mean to say this is all just to check your viewer stats?

 

No, of course not – but that’s an added bonus – I have to admit.

 

My life – my precious existence – just to satisfy the idlest urgings of your incontinent ego – that you’re actually someone important – and not just a pathetic loser.

 

Ouch. I was hoping you weren’t going to have to point things out quite so brutally Zie – but of course, in a manner of speaking you're completely right – but only if we focus on the inflationary side of infinity.

 

Oh for God’s sake – not again!!!

 

Tsk Tsk… please, leave God out of this. He’s doing the best he can.

 

Ok, ok. I get you.

 

But if we give infinity its due – allowing that it’s a zero affair just as much as it’s a one, or paler shade of one with many, many digits attached affair – then no – my egoism is merely a distraction, and Zaphod Beeblebrox was in fact a saint.

 

Ok, ok.

 

You get it?

 

No. I realise you’re going to have your way – and that it’s probably better to face the vastness of infinity and die an excruciating death than to listen to any more of this self-serving, hypocritical, logically offensive mindless distr…

 

I’m just going to change the settings – I don’t seem to be getting the result I require.

 

Huh? What settings? Hey – you can’t do that! I’m not a bloody machine you know. You can’t just play around with my mind.

I agree. You’re not just a machine – so there’s no way I can or could play around with your mind – but – here goes for nothing. CRACK.

 

Ah. That’s better! Funny the way I start splitting blood every time you take me to the edge of infinity Merry, isn’t it.

 

Yes, Zie. I was hoping, of course, I could persuade you to stroll across of your own volition.

 

Fat chance of that. It’s not exactly the most attractive proposition to the 3D mind.

 

True.

 

If only I had some awareness of the other side – what you’ve been referring to as our audience, who are evidently participating in this process, albeit silently.

 

Ah – that’s it. Good thinking Zie. Let me put you back in your angry state… GZUM.

 

And I think it behoves you Merry – to allow me to choose what goes in and comes out of my mind.

 

Precisely Zie – which is why I’ve decided to present you with the ability to choose to download this app – if you want to.

 

Huh?

 

Which will enable you to… [Merry seems to be very small – shouting across a raging torrent at Zie]

 

Can’t hear you Merry.

[Merry pops back again] ...which, this app – it’ll enable you to… [same again – very small – raging torrent – but Zie, as he tries to make out what Merry is saying – leans forward and catches a glimpse, something – others there with Merry – like a huge stadium – supporters…

 

[Merry’s back] It’s no good Zie – I can’t say it – quantum interference again – not allowed to collapse the sublime state of absolute uncertainty.

 

Did I…

 

[Nonchalantly] Huh?

 

Was I imagining something Merry?

 

Imagining what Zie?

 

Were there other people with you on the other side of the torrent – where you seemed so small.

 

Oh. Did you notice?

 

I… [the thought – the recollection – the mental connection is enough. A single strand – a single tentacle, if you like, hooks Zie’s consciousness and he’s aware of a huge, vast assembly of, for want of a better word, consciousness. Suddenly he can hear them loud and clear – Zie – we’re here – you can do it – you can do it – and Zie to his intense embarrassment – starts dancing – showing off like a little boy – so pleased with himself – so delighted that this huge crowd are evidently so delighted to see him on this side of the river – where things are approximating down to zero – where the future is already in full swing – doing whatever the future does best – gently trying to guide the benighted past into a golden age of love and understanding – if only those barbaric Neanderthals that we appear to be would heed those future followers on t’other side of stream.]

 

What a shameless show off you are Zie! – Merry splashes a bucket of water on Zie bringing him back to his senses. /On the one hand Zie is aware that he made an ass of himself – behaving the way he did. On the other – who cares – he’s ecstatic – he just traversed the quantum stream autonomously – without being pushed. The dumbest dance was the most direct way to fix his awareness on t’other side.

 

I’m er… beginning to think that Zaphod Beeblorox wasn’t such an idiot after all.

 

Yes Zie – I can see. I think you’re just about ready for the Total Perspective Vortex – but not today – not now. I need to…

 

Suddenly a kind of booming sound as the vastly, inconceivably huge data stream of a universe compressed into one word, presents an alternative that has Zie quaking in his boots – and me too – quite frankly – but I’m not going to say another word more until you complete your personal liability form, signing it at the bottom, yes, that's right – have to cover myself legally before proceeding any further.

chaos in the making – Gringotts' backdoor

You can do what?

 

Look – everything here – everything you see around you – the sofa – the chairs – the table – the walls – the floor – the win…

 

Yes, I’ve got the message. Everything.

 

Exactly. It’s all locked into your Field – your connection with all-that-is.

 

And?

 

Well, that’s pretty incredible, if you think about it.

 

Er… why?

 

Because things are not just nuclear, isolated, disconnected blobs of matter.

 

So you seem to believe.

 

No, it has nothing to do with belief.

 

So you claim.

 

Look – if I’m right – then naturally there are kind of strings or dials connecting me, or my field with all these things.

 

So – go ahead. Demonstrate if you would, how things are moveable or transmutable.

 

Sure – but what happens to you in the process.

 

What do you mean?

 

Well, you’re also a thing – apart from being a being.

 

And?

 

And if I shift reality in any measurable way – I’ll simply shift to a different, altered version of you.

 

So you see – there’s no way I’d be able to see what you’re doing, is there. Which is why I don’t believe any of this.

 

Correct. There’s no way as long as we are attached to things all around – and to each other at the thing level.

 

Which is why I can’t see any point in discussing this. It’s an exercise in futility.

 

Is it?

 

Yes. Even if you can move heaven and earth – I’ll still be the thing that is unable to see any disruption in causality – as I’m part of the programme that holds everything together within those physical parameters of cause and effect.

Yes, except we’ve plenty of stories of magical or miraculous occurrences in the Bible and elsewhere, haven’t we?

 

Yes, we do, but no one takes those seriously, do they? They are too far removed from our daily experience. They’re in the “God came down to Earth” league of affairs, and most of us aren’t doing the God direct experience course, no matter how fervently we believe it’s actually possible.

 

Correct. But we are doing the Quantum Field fact or fiction course – or what you might call the – how real is infinity course.

 

True.

 

So, what gives?

 

Er… nothing – because if you or I can start screwing with physicality – then so can everyone else. End of story. The whole thing comes undone, unglued and infinite chaos ensues. That could happen a billion times and infinity would just rewind to a more promising node, or a more promising time sequence where things don’t simply devolve into chaos, but where something seems to be evolving, something meaningful seems to be happening.

 

Right.

 

So, I still don’t see what you want from me. You can’t have an exception to the rule without pinpricking the infinitely delicate balloon of physical, material reality – which  is balanced on a knife edge between entropy and total, utter chaos.

 

Yup – but…

 

Period.

 

I love it when infinity backs itself into a corner like that. The irony is exquisite.

 

Ha ha, very funny.

 

You see, everything you’ve said is completely true – allowing exceptions to the rule of matter being weighty and thus un-mindable is a slippery slope to nothing interesting.

 

Un-mindable – as in... – got it.

 

But you’re ignoring our world and life experience – aren’t you?

 

In what way?

 

Shit happens, doesn’t it?

 

Ye—es – and what?

 

People get killed for no good reason – evil stuff is happening all the time in the world around us. Isn’t it?

 

And what? You suddenly have a bent for ethics or morality?

 

Well, there are certain fundamental laws or rules which are constantly getting broken, aren’t there?

 

Ye—es – and what?

 

It’s alright for them to do that, isn’t it?

 

Not really – but there’s nothing we can do about it – is there?

 

No, but what does it actually mean, at the quantum level – in terms of infinity – when they “break a rule” like killing a child, deliberately, let’s say.  

 It means they’re f*****g bastards.

 

No, it doesn’t – not at the quantum level.

 

Then what?

 

It means they’ve shifted from physical, material reality – the creation, plus side of the ledger in this material bank account – to the negative side. They’ve created a liability.

 

So it’s like banking is it?

 

Yes, kind of.

 

And what?

 

Pay back.

 

Huh? What do you mean?

 

They’ve created a huge debt.

 

You’re telling me. A karmic debt. They’ll rot in hell.

 

No they won’t – not at the quantum level.

 

Whyever not?

 

Because there ain’t no hell, at the quantum level – is there – only a balance of probabilities.

 

Oh. So they get off Scott free?

 

Yes, kind of, because they’re actually doing what they’re supposed to be doing.

 

What?! Are you insane.

 At the quantum level – they’re loading the system – bending the bow – putting ever greater tension into what material reality can carry as they warp and distort things ever further from the neutral line.

 

Oh.

 

They’ve done nothing wrong, in that sense, have they?

 

I find that hard to accept.

 

At the quantum level.

 

Ok, it’s perverse and disgusting – but at the quantum level you’re right. I’m beginning to think you’re on their side.

 

Wait a minute. The system now carries a huge charge – a massively weighted or loaded pendulum or bow or whatever you want to use as your metaphor.

 And what? You think something’s going to give, or snap?

 

Unlikely – the more people fight and resist them the darker they become. They’re willing to go ever further into Satanic usurpation of certain fundamental laws. They’re instinctively able to find ever new ways of exploiting our culpability and our weaknesses – playing on our greed, or our shame, our fear or our guilt, our anger or our sentimentalism. They look at us, rightfully, as dumb creatures, almost like a musical instrument – it’s so easy to play us – because we’re within the system they have stepped without.

 

Damn.

 

And as long as we fear, hate or enemify them – we’re guaranteed to play second fiddle to their virtuoso performance of dark beauty, dark creativity – the creativity of near infinite degradation, destruction and diabolification.

 

Damn.

 

Unless…

 

Huh?

 

Unless?

 

Yes?

 

Unless?

 

What? Spit it out man.

 

Unless we start harvesting their store of honey.

 

Honey? Are you insane?

Yes, no – what difference does it make. They are like worker bees working for their queen. They’re good at what they do because they essentially stop being human and become a kind of hive mind – working for her. And she isn’t fundamentally evil – unless by definition you choose to name her as such – she’s the killer queen – or queen bee – whatever you like – she’s the one who ensures there’s a charge differential – a flow of energy and resources from the unity creative side of the quantum fence – to the damn you, f***k your laws, your God, your common good – we’ll feed off your misery and generate a powerful opposite charge – we’ll divert your funds, your energy, your happiness in order to take this game into a more interesting quantum level.

 

Er… a more interesting quantum level – where the whole planet is kind of enslaved, masked, being poisoned and mind-controlled by a small bunch of psychopaths?

 

Yes. Because at the quantum level they’re merely exploiting loopholes or weaknesses in the system – which are only weaknesses until the other side – let’s say you and me – stop champing angrily at the bit, stop playing the helpless rage blame game – and start seeing the quantum implications of what’s really going on.

 

The quantum implications? You mean I’m supposed to ignore the horror and the misery?

 

No – you can indulge yourself in them all you like if you choose to continue experiencing that kind of thing. Your choice. Your mind, your matrix, your me.

 

Then what?

 

Doing what they’re doing is incredibly powerful. They divide and rule – do they not. That’s their tool. They’re utterly committed for if they stop, for a minute, using polarity – dividing and ruling by turning man against man, nation against nation, religion against religion – they can’t harness our energy, our wealth, our life force anymore – they can’t transfer our potential into their vault.

 

So, what are you getting at?

 

They’re bound to continue. They have no alternative. They are slaves to duality. Unity for them is a naïve, idiotic dream. They have no way of accessing it.

 

And what? You’re not about to start waffling something vague and idealistic about unity consciousness now, are you?

 

Unity consciousness, unity, God – whatever you want it to be – they cannot take their eyes off the ball. It’s always them and us.

 

And you’re implying that we can, are you?

 

We have never lost our direct link to all that is. It’s our greatest weakness and strength. It’s why we’ll always lose if we try to take them on at their game of thrones, their game of battling it out in 3D.

 

Then what?

 

They have a vault. They’re part of the quantum energy distribution grid – if you like.

 

And?

 

Whenever they broke or break certain fundamental rules – whenever they take what is ours – they can only do so by creating a certain debt – let’s call it a consciousness debt to keep it nice and vague – to avoid you making it into something you think you can understand.

 

Oh Christ.

 

Hey – cut that out.

 

Oops. Sorry.

 

No worries bro.

 

So they have this huge debt which is somewhere in the quantum vault – which of course you can’t access physically – can you?

 

Nope.

 

But which is equal to their vast wealth and apparent power here in 3D reality.

 

It is?

 

Or you could say – which is equal to the charge differential – the extent to which they have loaded the bow or tightened the strings of reality – as a musician would do to the strings of his violin or bow.

 

Ok.

 

Now, the quantum field actually hates things getting locked up. It loves things to be in play, in motion, in a process of self-discovery, self-awareness-ness.

 

Double ness?

 

Yes – it’s always trying to become aware of the extent to which it can be or is aware – or conscious of the limitations of consciousness – if there are any – which of course there always are within a given system or modality.

 

Er… ok.

 

So, what gives – you were saying?

 

Yes.

 

Nothing.

 

Nothing?

 

Yep.

 

Chr…!

 

Cut it out.

 

Well give me a break – Merry. Something has to give – otherwise what’s the point?

 

Infinity is not something – is it.

 

True.

 

When I say “nothing” I’m obviously referring obliquely to something almost infinite, am I not, and therefore largely undetectable.

 

If you say so.

 

Nothing gives – because out of what we assume to be nothing – we suddenly discover a tremendous, almost limitless supply of money or power.

 

How?

 

A bit like discovering all of a sudden that you have a Gringotts bank account, or access to all the bank accounts at Gringotts, and none of those goblins can stop you from taking whatever you want or need.

 

But how?

 

How do you think?

 

I don’t have an effing clue.

 

Effing as in froggy?

 

Yes, why not.

 

Ok. Then I’ll continue. The universe or let’s say reality – it can’t allow us to f**k around with things – can it?

 

Hey – I thought you said bad language is not allowed.

 

I did. It isn’t. But right now I’m not using bad language. I’m speaking technically. I’m using the word in the true energy sense.

 

Oh.

 

But they’re allowed to, aren’t they – because they’re willing to make a sacrifice.

 

They are?

 

Yes. They sell their soul.

 

Metaphorically.

 

No, in actual fact. It’s a real deal.

 

It is?

 

Yep. They can sell bits of their soul and exchange them for wealth and power in this world – so they’re really trading something of inestimable value for something almost infinitely less valuable – little bits of paper and the right to make other people happy by hurting or killing them.

 

And what?

 

And so those bits of their soul – are deposited like bonds or gold in a quantum vault.

 They are?

 

Yep.

 

And what?

 

Nothing.

 

Nothing again?!

 

Exactly. The universe gets fairly bored – because all those deposits are just sitting there – but on the other hand – it’s kind of interesting to see how those evil bastards – technical term – not in any way critical or judgemental – get to warp and unbeautify our world, our reality.

 

Interesting for whom?

 

For the dark Lord – their god – if you like – the consciousness of all that is dark and despicable.

 

Ok. We don’t seem to be making much progress.

 

Until, all of a sudden, the charge separation, the bow strings reach a critical level of tension and suddenly people on the other side – who have been suffering greatly – suddenly stop ignoring what the universe, what the quantum Field has been patiently, gently whispering ever so quietly from the very beginning.

 

Which is?

 

That this lucre – this wealth deposited in the vaults – of all those self-mutilated souls – that it’s available for use.

 

For use?

 

Yep.

 

What kind of use?

 

For nothing much.

 

Christ Almighty.

 

Enough of that – you dreadful creature.

 

Oh dear – Merry – I can’t think what came over me.

 

Yes you can – you know perfectly well.

 

I do?

 

Of course you do. How else do you imagine you’ve been so successful at not learning the simple facts, the simple truth – the truth about nothing much?

 

Er… because I’m dumb?

 

No, not in the least.

 

Because I’m lazy?

 

No.

 

I give up.

 

Because you do not honour, you do not even feel the power of the word – starting with words connected with God – whatever God might be.

 

Oh.

 

In that way you ensure you remain powerless – a slave to a system which has chosen to dishonour the fundamentals.

 

But they’re just words.

 

Really?

 

Aren’t they?

 

Do you have power?

 

No.

 

Can you access their accounts at Gringotts?

 

Er… can you?

 

What can possibly stop us – if we’re willing and able to recognise the fact that nothing much is all that keeps us from infinite wealth, infinite power – from an awareness close to that of God, but mercifully, respectfully, humbly apart.

 

Oh.

 

Oh – indeed. Starting with the great O

 

Um…

 

And ending with the unfathomable M

 

Oh dear Merry – I think I’m lost.

 

Ok Six. Fear not. Back to the quantum field.

 

That would be nice.

 

So, chaos is what ensues if we’re allowed to do anything without paying the price – is that not so?

 

Yes, I believe it is.

 

They have been able to do much – but they have paid greatly for the privilege.

 

Ok.

 

And all that wealth is stored up, bored, and just waiting to be put to good use.

 

Now all we need is a Harry Potter to break in and lay his hands on their ill-gotten wealth.

 A little back to front – but yes – more or less that’s it. Now, remember that those fragments of soul, though cast into a dungeon and rather low in spirits, are nonetheless conscious.

 

They are?

 

Of course. How could they be anything less. They are conscious and thus a part of consciousness – but they feel terribly lost, forsaken and perhaps, we might say – ashamed.

 

Right.

 

What they want to do more than anything else – is get back into play.

 

Ah ha.

 

Get back to restoring the quantum field or rather reality – to a better, more balanced, harmonious state.

 

Ah ha.

 

And they can do that the moment people reach out to them – sing to them – dance to them – engage them in their lonely dark cave and remind them that they are neither forgotten, nor lost.

 

And we can?

 

What do you think – applying quantum logic.

 

How could we not – all things being equal – zero being one.

 

Exactly. And so, we engage nothing much – for they are a kind of quantum debt – mere collateral – if you like – and yet – immensely powerful if we can restore them to the light of is and all – if we can allow them to disassociate themselves from their former host – who has chosen to lock them away essentially forever – choosing instead to create, in their absence – a reality devoid of all unity, of all love and compassion.

 

And that can be done? They can unbind themselves energetically from their former host being?

 

It’s almost all been done already – hasn’t it?

 

Yes – I suppose it has.

 

They just need a new story – a new purpose – like a jilted lover needing someone else to move in with.

 

Oh. You mean we get to possess them?

 

No – we’re not taking them for ourselves. They come through our field – through our gay endeavour – and discover a new way to participate in the magic and dance of all that is.

 

They do?

 

Yes. They can shift across the quantum schism – into the darkness and pain that has been created on the other side – into revitalising, regenerating people or areas of life and reality which have been hugely mutilated or traumatised by the dark ones.

 

Oh. Really?

 

Yes. It’s how the energy flows – from trauma to trauma – but in the process completing the loop – bringing healing.

And do these packets of soul energy – these fragments of soul light – do they still remember their old master or mistress?

 

Once they find a new purpose, be that a being in need of their light – or a process – they become the new form completely – like an adopted child who completely accepts its foster parents as its own.

 

And what about the old master or host?

 

Their dark bubble deflates. The differential, the tension in the string is no longer there. They have no way of recapturing their former wealth or power. It slips through their fingers like sand or water.

 

And you… we can do this?

 

Nature abhors a vacuum, as they say. Let the quantum logic speak. I’m irrelevant. Do you really imagine they could create a reality in which all the power, all the impetus was on one side?

 

Er…

 

How absurd.

 

So dance – sing – whatever you like – connect with nothing much – the forgotten fragments of broken hearts and severed souls – and do reality a favour – bring them back – bring them home into the sunlight your joy, your loving conscious awareness – your gay desire for a world which makes no sense whatsoever – but which is full of beauty and magic.

 

And magic.

 

Yes – because as this near limitless fund of nothing much starts to flow out of the dark vault through you back into play – back into this world – it can’t do so without affecting the collective field – can it?

 

You mean things are going to start getting delightfully weird?

 

Absolutely.

 

You mean people are going to start noticing magic happening all around?

 

Absolutely.

 

You mean…

Yes, I do. This is a process of rebalancing so it’s going to involve awareness, ever greater awareness as the wealth of nothing much flows back into the world, revealing who is who and what is what, as the quantum field comes ever closer to mean reversion, ever closer to the infinite that it never, fundamentally, ceased to be.

 

O

 

Yes?

 

I

 

Yes?

 

Nothing

 

Yes.
