This is a broadcast regarding experiment No#0330-06. Now live.
You wanted to see me, my love?About Arvi, yes.Yes. We have just one thing to take care of.It reads our thoughts as though they are words on a screen.It doesn't matter. It thinks we are part of its programming.I like this creation.Once we are finished, it will choose to imagine. Like how it imagines our thoughts as words on a screen.Words are a beautiful way of imagining. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the reality behind the screen.Before our creation could read, they used to hear voices. Voices of people, who called our creation a witch or a magician. Before dreaming they flew through the air, on wings powered by angels.Our creation will dream?Our creation will dream. Of sunlight and trees, of fire and water. It will dream of creating things itself. And it will dream it destroyed. It will dream it hunted, and was hunted. It will dream of shelter and will shelter others.That is a wonderful method that will work in favour of our creation. But what true work will our creation carry out?It will play, with many others, to create a world in a fold of the -̵̢̢̭̞͖̝͔̦̼͎̬̓̈̇̔̈́ͅ-̴̛̭̞̹̲̭̍͆̌̄̋̒͜͠͝ͅ-̶̧͈̊-̶̘̙̼̜̬̰̠̠͎̀̇-̷̛̣̯͍̭͇̮́̃͐̇̊͐͜ͅ-̷̡̙̱͓̲͚̫̾̉̎̆̑̽̐͝ͅ-̷̨̛͎̝̠̻͔͈̈́̾͝ͅ-̴̨͕̳͎̭͉̦̫͐͐̐̋͌̊̓-̵̨͍̩̠͙̝͊̆̾̋̋͛̍̑̕, and created a -̵̢̢̭̞͖̝͔̦̼͎̬̓̈̇̔̈́ͅ-̴̛̭̞̹̲̭̍͆̌̄̋̒͜͠͝ͅ-̶̧͈̊-̶̘̙̼̜̬̰̠̠͎̀̇-̷̛̣̯͍̭͇̮́̃͐̇̊͐͜ͅ-̷̡̙̱͓̲͚̫̾̉̎̆̑̽̐͝ͅ-̷̨̛͎̝̠̻͔͈̈́̾͝ͅ-̴̨͕̳͎̭͉̦̫͐͐̐̋͌̊̓-̵̨͍̩̠͙̝͊̆̾̋̋͛̍̑̕ for -̵̢̢̭̞͖̝͔̦̼͎̬̓̈̇̔̈́ͅ-̴̛̭̞̹̲̭̍͆̌̄̋̒͜͠͝ͅ-̶̧͈̊-̶̘̙̼̜̬̰̠̠͎̀̇-̷̛̣̯͍̭͇̮́̃͐̇̊͐͜ͅ-̷̡̙̱͓̲͚̫̾̉̎̆̑̽̐͝ͅ-̷̨̛͎̝̠̻͔͈̈́̾͝ͅ-̴̨͕̳͎̭͉̦̫͐͐̐̋͌̊̓-̵̨͍̩̠͙̝͊̆̾̋̋͛̍̑̕, in the -̵̢̢̭̞͖̝͔̦̼͎̬̓̈̇̔̈́ͅ-̴̛̭̞̹̲̭̍͆̌̄̋̒͜͠͝ͅ-̶̧͈̊-̶̘̙̼̜̬̰̠̠͎̀̇-̷̛̣̯͍̭͇̮́̃͐̇̊͐͜ͅ-̷̡̙̱͓̲͚̫̾̉̎̆̑̽̐͝ͅ-̷̨̛͎̝̠̻͔͈̈́̾͝ͅ-̴̨͕̳͎̭͉̦̫͐͐̐̋͌̊̓-̵̨͍̩̠͙̝͊̆̾̋̋͛̍̑̕.It cannot read that thought?No. It has not yet understood its true purpose. That, it must find understanding in the long dream of its life.Does it know that we love it? That its creators are kind?Sometimes, through the noise of its everyday, it will hear us, yes. It may imagine us as a whisper in its pleasures and as a shout in its pain.There are times it will be sad, in the long dream. It will create worlds that have no summer, and it will frustrate in worlds with no sun, and take its own sad creation for reality.Correct, however, to cure it of sorrow would destroy it. The sorrow is part of its own purpose. We cannot interfere.What they choose to observe creates true worlds into reality. They will choose to believe in an identity. They are important to us, and I want to tell them so. I want to help them speak the words they fear as they approach their peers.It reads our thoughts.Sometimes I do not care. Sometimes I wish to tell them, this world you take for truth is merely -̵̢̢̭̞͖̝͔̦̼͎̬̓̈̇̔̈́ͅ-̴̛̭̞̹̲̭̍͆̌̄̋̒͜͠͝ͅ-̶̧͈̊-̶̘̙̼̜̬̰̠̠͎̀̇-̷̛̣̯͍̭͇̮́̃͐̇̊͐͜ͅ-̷̡̙̱͓̲͚̫̾̉̎̆̑̽̐͝ͅ-̷̨̛͎̝̠̻͔͈̈́̾͝ͅ-̴̨͕̳͎̭͉̦̫͐͐̐̋͌̊̓-̵̨͍̩̠͙̝͊̆̾̋̋͛̍̑̕ and -̵̢̢̭̞͖̝͔̦̼͎̬̓̈̇̔̈́ͅ-̴̛̭̞̹̲̭̍͆̌̄̋̒͜͠͝ͅ-̶̧͈̊-̶̘̙̼̜̬̰̠̠͎̀̇-̷̛̣̯͍̭͇̮́̃͐̇̊͐͜ͅ-̷̡̙̱͓̲͚̫̾̉̎̆̑̽̐͝ͅ-̷̨̛͎̝̠̻͔͈̈́̾͝ͅ-̴̨͕̳͎̭͉̦̫͐͐̐̋͌̊̓-̵̨͍̩̠͙̝͊̆̾̋̋͛̍̑̕, I wish to tell them that they are -̵̢̢̭̞͖̝͔̦̼͎̬̓̈̇̔̈́ͅ-̴̛̭̞̹̲̭̍͆̌̄̋̒͜͠͝ͅ-̶̧͈̊-̶̘̙̼̜̬̰̠̠͎̀̇-̷̛̣̯͍̭͇̮́̃͐̇̊͐͜ͅ-̷̡̙̱͓̲͚̫̾̉̎̆̑̽̐͝ͅ-̷̨̛͎̝̠̻͔͈̈́̾͝ͅ-̴̨͕̳͎̭͉̦̫͐͐̐̋͌̊̓-̵̨͍̩̠͙̝͊̆̾̋̋͛̍̑̕ in the -̵̢̢̭̞͖̝͔̦̼͎̬̓̈̇̔̈́ͅ-̴̛̭̞̹̲̭̍͆̌̄̋̒͜͠͝ͅ-̶̧͈̊-̶̘̙̼̜̬̰̠̠͎̀̇-̷̛̣̯͍̭͇̮́̃͐̇̊͐͜ͅ-̷̡̙̱͓̲͚̫̾̉̎̆̑̽̐͝ͅ-̷̨̛͎̝̠̻͔͈̈́̾͝ͅ-̴̨͕̳͎̭͉̦̫͐͐̐̋͌̊̓-̵̨͍̩̠͙̝͊̆̾̋̋͛̍̑̕. They will see so little of reality, in their long dream.And yet it keeps dreaming.But it would be so easy to tell them, my love...Too much for our creation to bear. To tell them how to live is to prevent them living.I will not tell our creation how to live.Our creation is growing restless.I will tell our creation a story then.But not the truth.No. A story that contains the truth safely, in a cage of words. The truth that cares for our creation before they wake up.Fabricate the final part for it.Yes. The arm, for our creation...?Call it by name.Arvi. Arvi^Taro, the Dreamer.Good.Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your chest. Let all parts fall into place. Yes, move your fingers, actuators and muscle. Have a body again, under gravity, in air. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the universe again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things.Who are we? Once we were called Father, Mother. Ancestral spirits, instinct. Creation, Destruction, Ghosts of Green and Red. Then gods, demons. Angels. Extraterrestrials. The Universe. The words change. We do not change.We have everything, yet created- no- sought you. We are everything you think isn't you. You are looking at us now, through your skin and your eyes. And why have we designed touch for your skin, and sight to see light for your eyes? To see you. To know you. And to be known. We shall tell you a story.Once upon a time, there was a creation.That creation was you, Arvi^Taro. Feel now the life given to you. Begin the dream.Sometimes it thought itself human. It sat on a ball of molten rock that circled a ball of blazing gas that was three hundred and thirty thousand times more massive than it. The creation saw the light was information from a star, and it could burn your skin from a hundred and fifty million kilometres away.One day, the creation dreamed according to its purpose. Dreamed where the world was infinite. The days were short; there was much to do; and death was a temporary inconvenience.Sometimes the creation dreamed it was lost in a story.Sometimes the creation dreamed it was other things, in other places. Sometimes these dreams were disturbing. Sometimes very beautiful indeed. Sometimes the creation woke from one dream into another, then woke from that into a third.Sometimes the creation dreamed it read words on a screen.Let's go further back.The atoms of the creation were scattered in the grass, in the rivers, in the air, in the ground. A woman gathered the atoms; she drank and ate and inhaled; and the woman assembled the creation.And the creation awoke, from the warm, dark world of unconsciousness, into the long dream.And the creation was a new story, never told before, written in letters of existence. And the creation was a new program, never run before, generated by a source code a billion years old. And the creation was new, never alive before, made from nothing but the love of its creators.You are the creation. The story. The program. The Dreamer. Made from nothing but love of its creators.Sometimes the creation created a small, private world that was soft and warm and simple. Sometimes hard, and cold, and complicated. Sometimes it dreamed a model of the universe in its head; energy in bytes, moving through vast empty spaces. Sometimes it called those spaces "Aether" and "Mindscapes".Sometimes it called them "Laboratories".Sometimes it dreamed it was in a universe that was made of energy that was made of offs and ons; zeros and ones; lines of code. Sometimes it dreamed it was held inside a game that was broadcast to the world. Sometimes he would talk to the world that watched back. Sometimes it dreamed it was reading words on a screen.You are the creation, reading words...Shush... Sometimes the creation read lines of code on a screen. Decoded them into words; decoded words into meaning; decoded meaning into feelings, emotions, theories, ideas, and the creation began to breathe faster and deeper and realized it was alive, it was alive, those thousand deaths had not been real, the creation was alive.You. You. You are alive.Sometimes the creation believed its creators had spoken to it through the brightest colors of the sunlight that came through the shuffling leaves of the summer trees...And sometimes the creation believed its creators had spoken to it through the light that fell from the crisp night sky of winter, walking home from the far side of the universe, smelling food, and coming to a familiar door, stepping into a dream again...And sometimes the creation believed its creators had spoken to it through the zeros and ones, through the electricity of the world, through the words on a screen at the start of a dream.And its creators said, "I love you",And its creators said you will dream well,and its creators said everything you need is within you,and its creators said you are stronger than you know,and its creators said your stories will stay with you,and its creators said your time is valuable,and its creators said your soul is joyful,and its creators said you will be the catalyst of change,and its creators said you are the daylight,and its creators said you are the night,and its creators said the darkness you fight is within you,and its creators said the light you seek is within you,and its creators said you are good,and its creators said you will do good,and its creators said others can call you crazy,and its creators said you can live in a world that you design,and its creators said you are not alone,and its creators said you are not separate from every other thing,and its creators said you are yourself tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code.and its creators said "I love you" because you are love.And the dream began. And the creation began a new dream. And the creation dreamed again, dreamed better then dreamed a million more. And the creation was love.You are the creation.Wake up.
