When you really do go looking for the One, you look for someone whos looking for the One herself because thats what you have in common. But what youre looking for isnt really there. Your search is directed toward phenomenal creatures that you believe have everything you want. So you mold yourself into what you think they think they want because theyre amazing creatures that couldnt possibly want less than an amazing creature themselves. They, in turn, are molding themselves into the amazing creature they think their amazing creature thinks he wants. DK: What the hell is this' Whazzat? DK: Whats the deal? I sit down at the computer and theres something already on the screen. I didnt do this. Did. DK: Didnt. Did, too! DK: Last night? What time does your computer say? DK: 4:30 PM! OhMiGod, I slept through 4:20? Where the hell was I? Right here. DK: At the computer? Yup. DK: That makes no sense. I cant sit sleeping up. Who are you kidding? You forget about High School and High Holy Days? DK: Fine, I can sleep sitting up! MTV. DK: MTV? What the hell does that have to do with anything. Youre losing the attention span it takes to explore new territory through old symbols. Youre so used to graphic depictions of real horrors youve become numb to the subtlety of beauty and discovery. You, as a society are hooked on this re-cycling thing, to the detriment of your current experience. DK: Hold the boat just one second. I wasntWe werent talking about ... Just a damn minutere-cycling is a good thing! In all ways except experience. You go to a movie and its a re-make of a movie. You turn on your radio and you listen to covers of music one or two generations back. All you talk about is whats popular, new, news and advertised and you do it on cell phones to disembodied voices who have no real presence in the environment that you once actually experienced but cannot anymore because youre too busy talking to someone whos not there about things that are happening at a somewhere else where neither of you are. DK: Are you pissed at me or what? How could I be? Im too busy trying to figure out ways to give you clues about who you are, in ways that you might be able to understand, through the tools you provide me. DK: My sympathies. Can you example me? Youre a writer? DK: Only in the non-bold parts if I were to give myself full due. The hell with that, Man! Things are getting freakier. Okaylook, Im gonna take my hands away from the keyboard now. Fine! Hows thisYes, Drew, there are such things as other dimensions where other beings exist who can come back and speak. And they are people who have been here before, and now want to teach us. The truth is, though, they are just a little more advanced than your kind, just a little. So if you really pay attention, what youll notice is what these disembodied spirits who speak through what you call a Channel go on and on about things that are just a notch above what you think you already know. DK: Ive been to sessions like that before. They are extremely chatty those guys, and they sometimes make these ludicrous voice-tone changes that are almost embarrassing. DK: Just a God-damned minute, and I mean a God-DAMNED minute! I didnt write that! I dont even know what ludicrous means, let alone know how to spell it! What are you doing with my hands'!!! so, Drew DK: Can I have my hands backPLEASE! The bottom line is, they were people who were here DK: This is downright Rude, you know, GIMME MY HANDS BACK!!! DK: They WERE here, werent they? You know what? I bet they were just people who nobodyd listen to while they were alive, so now they DK: k .,/ n--- o [] c ;;- k i =- t [-. o ;,[/ f /8 f WOW! Good job with your feet, there! Im impressed. DK: get to chat us all up, as long as they want, AND the Channel makes out like a bandit! Spread th DK: Thats IT! I absolutely refuse to spread the word about crap like that! Both of you are out of your freaking minds! Easy does it, Drew... DK: If you tell me to breathe, Im gonna vomit! Youve got your hands back, Drew. Relax. DK: Okay, okay. You seen my lighter? Over there, by the bed, but be careful of that cord thereOh, Darn!! You okay? DK: Ouch! That hurt. Manwhat a headache! I should never have mixed that absinthe with Scotch last night! Wait a minutewhats all this stuff on the screen? I didnt write this. Ill let this argument slide, Drew. Just scroll down, ignore what was there before and lets pick up again where we left off. DK: The hell I will! What is this'? What time is it? Geez, the suns coming up. It must be morning. Why am I sitting at the computer? I thought I was in bed. You are in bed. DK: RIGHT! This is all a dream. Spread the Word! |
