Adventure Mystery Science Fiction

“So, who is this guy?

I don’t know!  I just know he has something important to tell me.

Oh yeah, and what is that?

I don’t know.  He didn’t say.

So, you’re just coming here for no reason?

You don’t get it!  When he says he has something for me, he has something for me.

So, what does he do?

He’s a time travel expert.

Time travel expert?

Yes, he studies physics from Einstein to Brian Green, and even the more fringe stuff like The Philadelphia Experiment.

They have just revealed the fact that time travel is possible. 

I know, and he has known since 2019!

So, is he from the future? 

No, he is from our timeline.

Yeah, are you here?  Ok, we’re on our way.  Come on. 

So, he isn’t weird is he? 

The man has been studying time travel for almost 9 years.

He doesn’t have much of a social life.

No, he doesn’t.  He had to get away from some of his family.  It became too much of a distraction.

So, I assume he doesn’t have a girlfriend.

No, but he had some theory.  He thinks the more he raises his consciousness, the more  his libido rises.  The more he studied quantum mechanics, black holes, or even channeled information, the more it tapped into him!!!!

What do you mean??  I have no idea what you're talking about.

Have you ever heard of Simulation Theory?

No.

It was a theory me and him talked about a lot.  The theory goes that when you go out in public, most of the so-called people you see aren’t really people, but they’re NPC’s.  Non Player Characters.  Meaning they’re just there to make this place seem real.   This is really a simulation.  Not like in a video game, but holographic in nature.

You’ve been watching too many movies.

No, I haven’t.  Some physicists agree that we may be living in a simulation.

What would the simulation be for?

I don’t know.  Maybe a scenario to see who would find out along with life lessons in the Infinite Mind of this homogenous thing we’re all a part of.

Wow.

Yeah… I know.

But what about the backdrop people?  I mean how could you prove it?

I don’t know, but have you seen Inception where they’re in a restaurant and he tells the guy ‘You’re in a dream’ then all the people in the restaurant turn around and look at him.

No.

How about Vanilla Sky?

Vanilla Sk

It starred Tom Cruise.  Part of the movie he didn’t realize he was in cryogenic sleep and was dreaming what he was experiencing.  Anyway, he was in a bar and talking with this guy.  This guy knew he was in cryogenic sleep.  They were talking and the guy asked him ‘What do you want?’  I’m paraphrasing.  And he said “I want all these people to shut up!!!”  Then, all the people in the bar shut up.  He stood there with his mouth open, and that’s when he knew it was true.

I have to see those 2 movies.

The point is they were both in a simulation where reality was programmed.

So, what does this have to do with his libido.

Oh yeah, well his idea was that the non physical spiritual energy was moving in his body so much that it awakened his kundalini energy.

Kunda what??

It’s a spiritual energy that moves up and down the spine.

So, this guy was watching them movies?

Yeah… I don’t want to laugh.

Well, you have to release that energy.

Somehow.

Seems like he did it a lot.

You act like everyone we know doesn’t do that.

Yea, but some have wives, girlfriends, or bentley’s and benz’s.  So, I don’t think they would have to do that that much.

Well, his theory was that there is nonphysical energy all around us.  Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t there like wind or WIFI.  Just know how many things on the electromagnetic spectrum that we can’t see.

You need microscopes and special machines to see them.

Yea, but there are things even they can’t see.

Are you hungry?

Yeah, I brought snacks.

Thank God for Fritos.

You know I can’t tell the difference between this ‘Alkaline’ water and others.

So, this guy has something more to tell you then what you just told me walking?

Yeah, he is always studying, revealing stuff.

We’ve been walking for a long time.

I know, we’re almost there.

How is that girl Cheryl?

I don’t know.  I haven’t talked to her in 3 weeks.  She disappeared from the social media website!

Oh.

Yeah, we’re almost there.

I’m surprised he didn’t want you to come 

By myself 

Yeah.

He doesn’t mind revealing things to other people.

Well, I’m all ears.

Don’t be all ears, be all intuition.  This information will affect you on a cellular level.

Okk.

Now, we walk through here, and go into that room.

Ok.

I’m kinda nervous.

Oh, don’t be y

Hey John.

Hey.

This is my friend.

Greetings.

Greetings.

So, what did  you want us for?

Close the door.

Ok, it’s closed.

Those are some nice…

You know when I first found out about the simulation thing I was like ‘Ok, cool.’  But then, my experiences began to ramp up.  I started going out in public thinking like normal, I wonder what he does, I wonder what she does.  But then, the hunches or nudges from the ether began telling me that what if once they weren’t in my awareness, they weren’t real.  And I don’t mean weren’t real like I couldn’t see them or experience them.  Like they're in one room and I’m in another in a different part of the house.  I mean once they leave my perception, they aren’t real.  AT ALL.

Wow.

Then, I began to extrapolate.  What about all the places I haven’t been?  For example, China.  I mean there’s evidence that it exists like pictures, videos, people who come from there that are over here, and a whole entire history of that country.  It’s funny, they ask for more proof that aliens and UFOs exist than China.  When they haven’t seen a U.F.O or China.

So, that would mean your hand or entire body wouldn't exist when you aren’t looking at it, especially when sleeping.

Exactly, exactly.

What a minute, this is going too far.  Your hand exists and your foot, body.

I followed somebody last week.

What?  You know

I know, I could get in trouble doing that.  I didn’t care at this point.  I followed him just to see where he would go.  No, it was my first time following someone.  I was on my phone.

You figured if he did something ‘normal.’

Yea, I figured he would do something regular like go home or to another store and I would leave it alone.  But he didn’t.  He just waited at certain blocks.  I had figured he noticed I was following him.  So, I just played it off.  But, he didn’t confront me.  He just went to another block, and then to another…

Wow. 

So, now I’m thinking most are a simulation, even you guys.

What, wait a minute, you asked us to come here.

I know.  I just wanted you to know before.

Before what?

I don’t want to be in this simulation anymore.  Early today, I got hints that I could shift to another and that’s what I’m going TO DO!!  But, before I do that, this one has to collapse.

What do you mean collapse?

Hey, I’m starting to feel funny.  Why is the room moving?!

It is starting to fade away.  I wanted you to know the truth before it did.  Maybe I’ll shift somewhere with another version of you.

What a minute John, how can a reality fade away.  NOOOOOOO!!!!!  My body

It’s ok man, I think we’re going to be ok, even though everything is fading.

Yea, we’ll be…be"
