 | it all starts with one entity. 
 the entity is in a perpetual dream state, and within this
 dream state multiple characters are created as the entity
 percieves itself in the multiple third person, much as we do
 when we go to sleep.  when you're dreaming, multiple
 characters all have their own thoughts, opinions, motives,
 and ideas, of which many may be nothing like your own.
 thus, it is entirely possible that we are all one entity in
 a dream state creating multiple characters that all act on
 their own, thinking they are actually in charge of their own
 paths.
 
 each character also percieves time at a different moment on
 the universal timeline.  their moment in perception is based
 on the moment of self-actualization when the character is
 generated by the entity. thus, lets say you are reading this
 and writing me an angry e-mail telling me i'm going to hell.
 i became aware of my own existenc 2 hours before you, so
 i've actually read your e-mail AND replied to it, even
 though you're now deciding what you're going to put in the
 e-mail.  however, in my perception there's no time dilation,
 i simply realized i had an email and read it.  time's not
 faster for me than you, i'm just two hours ahead in my
 perception of events that already happened.

 | deja-vu is actually your character accidentally slipping the bonds of time perception and briefly jumping ahead (as far
 as the deja vu lasts) then back to the normal spot on the
 timeline.  thus, you get the feeling that you've done what
 you're doing at the moment before, when in actuality you
 experienced it twice in a row, but your character's brain is
 not capable of percieving such a thing as a jump on the
 universal timeline, so an inexplicable feeling known only as
 "deja vu" is generated.
 
 the beauty of this is that not only can it not be proven, it
 cannot be dis-proven as well.  the other beauty is the
 entirely new direction that can be taken in arguments.  say
 we're arguing over whether or not to eat hoagies or pizza, i
 can say "we already decided that hoagies was the best course
 of action, bought them, ate them, and enjoyed them.  why
 can't you just leave the past alone?"  you will either give
 in because there's no way to win that argument, or decided
 to go on your own to get pizza.  at which point i will rush
 ahead of you, demolish the pizza parlor and replace it with
 a subway, claiming "you can't deny your path.  have you not
 seen 'final destination'?"

 i got a deja-vu sensation for about 2-3 minutes as soon as i
 walked in the house.

 release our character's "bonds" in this world, sometimes
 through dreaming ourselves, or through things like acid and

 | there was a mind, who existed in solitude.  it's name was marlowe.  when marlowe became aware that it had formed, it
 recognized that it was totally alone.  marlowe struggled
 with its creative impulses, straining to understand how to
 use its awareness.  first, flickering images that
 represented itself formed.  then, the images of others
 emerged.  eventually, marlowe learned to dream, and the
 images of others became minds and individuals within the
 dream world who lived various lives.  in an act of profound
 benevolence, marlowe extended permanence to these dream
 minds by speaking their names, and the minds became real, no
 longer bound by the dream world that marlowe had created.
 these dream minds made real were called the nacmat.
 
 once real, the nacmat were endowed with the same creative
 power of marlowe, and as they discovered the depth of their
 gift, more dreaming minds formed within them, until the
 nacmat too extended the gift that was given them and gave
 reality and creative power to the dream minds within them.
 
 this process continued for millions of years, until there
 was a break in the chain.  one of the dream minds, when made
 real, recognized the chain of extending creativity and
 decided that instead of granting reality to the dream minds
 within itself, it would deny them the gift of creative
 energy and keep it for itself, attempting to break away from
 marlowe.  this mind's name was jaroen.  jaroen believed that
 in doing so, it could become more powerful than even
 marlowe.  jaroen believed that it created reality, but
 created only dream worlds.  believing that it had awakened
 to its own power, jaroen instead lay trapped in slumber.
 the minds trapped within jaroen were called the uzim.
 
 as the uzim within jaroen grew, some became aware that they
 existed only as dreams within this sleeping mind, and some
 worshipped jaroen, believing that he represented the
 original creative mind of marlowe.  some uzim believed that
 their dream world was the only reality, and that jaroen was
 just a vivid projectio

 | n of their imagination.  other uzim had a variety of ideas and theories concerning their situation.  the uzim became
 divided against themselves, and fought over their
 dreamworld, causing tremendous suffering.  as jaroen slept,
 their dream world was like a wilderness in which the sun
 that was meant to bring them light burned them, and the seas
 that were meant to bring them sustenance drowned them.  some
 of the uzim cursed jaroen for their suffering.
 
 jaroen became aware that it had made a mistake, but remained
 conflicted by a lust for power, and incorrectly believing
 that it was cut off from marlowe, and unable to hear
 marlowe's voice in slumber, jaroen became consumed with
 guilt.   unable to hear marlowe's words of forgiveness and
 comfort, jaroen's slumber continued since it did not know
 how to escape the dream.
 
 but marlowe, in its wisdom, had anticipated the problem the
 uzim and jaroen faced.  marlowe knew that what jaroen had
 done was not a flaw in marlowe's gift, but a possible
 consequence of having given the gift of creative power
 unconditionally.  so marlowe had secretly sent a messenger
 to the uzim's dream world, named atgmartin, who knew about
 marlowe and what jaroen had tried to do.
 
 atgmartin was unique, in that it was marlowe's messenger,
 but since it had entered the dream world, was also one of
 the uzim.  additionally, atgmartin appeared in the dream
 world not as one person, but as twenty three pairs of uzim
 who then went out to every corner of the dream world.  some
 of these forty six uzim became known, and some remained
 hidden.  atgmartin understood that the situation was more
 complex than many of the uzim could understand, because of
 the way jaroen had defined their dream world.  atgmartin
 devised a way to use suggestive stories and parables, which
 took various forms and styles, to illustrate what had
 happened to jaroen and the uzim, and the true identity of
 marlowe.
 
 as atgmartin's words spread through their dream world, the
 uzim became aware that the slumber was the result

 | of jaroen's denying the gift of marlowe by failing to extend the gift in unconditional benevolence.  the uzim, with
 atgmartin's help, realized that they, as dream
 manifestations of jaroen, were actually the shattered pieces
 of the whole jaroen.  the uzim understood that to heal
 jaroen, they themselves must resolve their own lust for
 false power, must stop dividing their world, and must stop
 attacking their fellow uzim.
 
 the uzim within the slumbering jaroen used their collective
 energy with the help of atgmartin to reawaken jaroen in
 which they existed.   because of atgmartin, the uzim knew
 that, despite their name, they were not separate from
 jaroen, and that jaroen, despite the slumber, was not
 separate from marlowe.  jaroen then discovered marlowe's
 plan and realized the mistake was forgiven, and chose to
 accept and extend the gift of marlowe, and release the uzim
 from the dream world, and endow them all with the bestowal
 of creative energy, and they would go on to form new worlds.

 | also, here's something to think about: 
 stuff in the real world affects the dream world.  i spent
 all night playing vice city while listening to Hail To The
 Theif as my custom soundtrack.
 
 last night, i kid you not, i had a dream that me & thom
 yorke were driving around motorcycles committing crimes.
 however the crimes were stupid and immature...for one we
 stole 2 bottles of beer from some adult's fridge then snuck
 out into the bushers and each drank one.  thom said
 something like "i hope the grown ups don't find out" which
 is now hilarious when i think about it.
 
 oh well, my point was that maybe in the entity's world, it's
 quite similar to our current world since this is a dream
 influenced by that world.  however, things tend to
 inexplicably change in dreams, so maybe everyone drives
 giant rubber chickens instead of cars.  so when the entity
 wakes up and this world ends, he will call is friend and say
 "i had this strange dream.  we were all driving cars made of
 metal".

 that's because it has already been stored the second time

 | who would've thought that defecating could inspire such lofty philosophical heights?  they don't call the outhouse
 the philosopher's kingdom for nothing!
 
 but more seriously, most Near-Death Experience accounts
 confirm the assertion of a singular, indivisible existence
 (much in the vein of Bhuddism, mind), and thus we (and all
 which exists) collectively comprise God in as much as God
 comprises us.

 | PLAIDZEBRA, oh wise one! i have read your extensive parable on the nature of the functioning of existence, and yet, it
 does not serve to explain the origins of the entire process
 - that is to say, it does not answer the question of how
 Marlowe came to be aware of its own existence? and moreover,
 what, if anything, came before Marlowe?
 
 if you read the NDE account i've posted a link to, the
 person makes a point that the statement "I AM" ought to be
 supplemented by "WHO AM I?" as the singular collective (a
 paradoxical term, i know, but that's precisely what the
 universe is built upon) infinitely explores its own self
 through the never-ending cycle of creation and destruction -
 that is to say, seemingly there is no end and there is no
 beginning to it all.

 | i think if we took a poll on my relative wisdom here, i'd be labeled the village idiot! : )
 
 marlowe does not know if there are more like marlowe, and
 marlowe cannot know, but knows this.  we are discussing
 something that is beyond our present scope.  anyway, as you
 woke up in this world in space at a point in time, so did
 marlowe awaken in an infinite moment, in which there is no
 beginning and no end.  perhaps we will begin to see that
 there is no plateau to understanding.  darkness tightens
 like a noose;  the light unfolds forever, within an infinite
 moment...

 | i beg to differ.  i have been discussing astrological matters with a friend of mine (also an Aries much like
 yourself, albeit on the cusp of Pisces), and the common
 concensus is that Aries folk are often sought after for
 advice and wisdom - and that seems to have been the common
 trend with your likes on this messageboard.
 
 at any rate, agreeably, it all is very much beyond the scope
 of our painfully limited understanding.  have you had a
 chance to read the NDE link i've posted above yet? don't be
 horrified by the awful graphics - the content is worth the
 attention.

 | marlowe is the gift that keeps on giving.  accepting the gift is giving it away.  denying the gift is like a broken
 circuit.  this would not be meaningful if you were not given
 a choice.

 | but the question then becomes such: how does one define choice?
 if all things exist as a singular collective - the direction
 of the path which existence takes is defined by the
 collective, rather than its constituent parts, true? that is
 to say, beyond the realm of illusion that is physical
 existence, one does indeed make a choice how it all comes to
 unfold, but within the physical existence itself, things are
 pre-destined by that original choice, no?

 | each thread leads back to the same source, and yet is unique.   each thread, ultimately, determines its path.  a
 thread may end in darkness, or may increase the intensity of
 its light and vibration, and may divide infinitely into
 other threads.  none of this, of course, is intended to be
 taken literally.
 
 i wouldn't think of marlowe as a central processor in which
 all decisions are made.  though there is only one source,
 this is not a collective, or a committee.
 
 i'm not sure what you mean by "that original choice," but i
 would suggest that aside from the gravity of probability
 there is nothing predestined.

 | by the term 'collective' i mean a singular entity which manifests itself through infinite forms of existence - thus
 an illusory perception of an individual existence appears to
 the form/being experiencing it, when in actual fact, it is
 merely a constituent part of the source from which it stems
 - "from one source all things depend".
 
 by "the original choice" i mean the decision, if you will,
 which the source undertakes as to the means through which it
 comes to manifest itself - so there is a duality to the
 notion of choice - the source chooses each individual path -
 the existence of the manifestation of the source (the form
 it takes) is conditioned upon the original decision which
 the source has made.
 
 awfully convoluted, i know, but hopefully it makes some
 sense.

 | choice is the turning point when you come into existence because you choose to exist.  from that point on you have
 the ability to continue to make choices until something
 causes you to return to the source.
