The next day was
Saturday, and I didn't have to work. Mrs. Peele and I
were taking a little nap on my lazy-boy recliner when I found myself in the
presence of Kronos in the void. I felt sorry for Kronos because I had
been in a very silly mood all day. I am usually a little silly if given
the chance, but this was a major silliness attack, like the time that a
girlfriend and I were kicked out of the "Candle light walk for families and
friends of cancer victims who have died." So the banner read.
Anyway, we couldn't ascertain if the family members and friends had died, or
just the cancer victims. So, of course we had to ask, since we were
just walking past the park where the solemn event was taking place. And since we both had close relatives, (my step father and her mother), who had died of cancer, we figured we had a right to be there. We
didn't, at the time, realize that it was by invitation only. We only
found this out later when they were kicking us out.
I am a great believer in rejoicing in the face of death. After all, it is we who are still here in the shit. I am convinced that our dearly departed are feeling more sorry for us, than we for them!
ARM
FARTS
I became a bit irate, telling
the lady with the growly face, that had it not been for that evil tattle-tail
woman with the big titties walking in front of us, everything would have been
just fine. The woman with the growly face, making it obvious to us that
she was an adult, stated in an unkindly manner, that "Arm farts were not
appropriate in this setting". Of course, we both decided, with a look,
to do more than just arm farts, (which we found, no matter how hard we tried,
to be impossible because we were laughing so hard), as they escorted us all the
way out of the park, which, by the way,
was public.
TWELVE
ADDITIONAL
UNIVERSES
Kronos was all business.
"I am going to cover several difficult concepts, so I want you to be
serious, and interject right away if you have a question." I nodded my
head seriously. Kronos continued. "Let's see. We were about to
discover twelve additional universes. If you recall, from our earlier
talks, there exists between the black and white universes, twelve separate
individual universes forming a vibrational stair step. Relative to the
duration of the black and white universes, the in-between-time" is almost
imperceptible due to its relatively extremely short duration." He said,
with great intent.
Vibration goes from black to
white, thus forming the twelve universes we have looked at. But, when
vibration returns from white to black, it is in the exact opposite sequence,
and forms what seems to be an additional twelve universes. However,
these twelve form a mirror image of the original twelve, which brings into
being the concept of a fourth dimension, in just the same way the original
twelve formed the third dimension."
("As a way of clarification, the up-stair step is actually the fundamental
fourth dimension, and the down-stair step is the fundamental third dimension".

HORSE
PUCKY
"Are you sure this isn't just
a load of horse pucky?" I kidded, giving my mind a break.
Taking me seriously, Kronos continued. "Remember that creation is done
with smoke and mirrors. In other words, all of creation is an elaborate
illusion, that is reality to us. This is neither good or bad, it is
just what was necessary to accomplish such a seemingly impossible feat.
So, this discovery is no more strange than any of the other discoveries we have
talked about. We are stuck with the fact the that we exist. All
we are doing here is putting together the pieces of the original puzzle that
was necessary to create the illusion." Kronos paused. I
commented, in the only french phrase I know, which was usually very difficult
to work into a conversation, "Je pense, donc je suis", better known as,
"Cognito ergo sum." "I smell therefore I am." (Paraphrasing
Descartes). "Actually I am amazed." I chirped "I tried
to guess where the additional universes would be found, and had to give up!"
Kronos looked at me with little hope in his eyes.
"I will give you a general
rule, and with it see if you can find the fifth dimension. Kronos gave
me a little evil smile. He was such a playful child at times. I
was sure this was his way of giving tit-for-tat. "The rule is a simple
one." He said. "When you find a configuration, let's use the
original twelve universes as an example, look for another configuration that is
its equal and opposite. Having found it, merge the two together to form
a new, unique and entirely separate, configuration." He paused.
"Once you have a complete configuration, start looking around for its
equal and opposite, and so on. Any questions?"
"I think I understand." I said intelligently.
"Here, let me run it by you and see if I've got it or not." To
me, Kronos was like one of those great big family dogs to which the kids could
pretty much do anything they wanted, and it would never get upset. I
appreciated the fact that he was so patient with me. I really didn't
want to take him for granted, or seem ungrateful, but, I felt so at ease with
him, and it was so much fun to tease him that at times I just couldn't refuse. He was the perfect "straight man".
Plus, it was in my nature. After all, I didn't want to pretend
to be someone else. "I've got to be me...." I hummed in my best
falsetto.
FIND
THE
FIFTH
DIMENSION
Kronos finally gave me that
look, you know, the one that your mother gave you when you were starting to get
out of hand. Kronos continued. "I believe you have enough
information to find the fifth dimension." "Yes, of course." I
lied. Let's see, hmmmmmm. Well, I guess one would merge the
third and forth dimensions together to form a new one, the fifth dimension."
"Very good! He said getting excited. I was getting
excited too. "Now, how would you access the fifth dimension?"
"Hmmmmmm, let's see, we actually found the fourth-dimension by using this rule.
The third-dimension has a mirror opposite which is the
fourth-dimension. So.....I would have to assume, according to the rule,
that since we have already found an opposing pair, the third and fourth
dimensions, they must, somehow, form the fifth-dimension." I said
proudly.
" Well, yes, he said, but what
I meant was, tell me how does one access the fifth-dimension from there?"
I thought and thought. I didn't have a clue. "I don't
have a clue Kronos." I said, feeling a little stressed. "Kronos
laughed. "Think about it some more, out loud this time. I will
help you if you stray too far from the farm." He said still laughing.
Kronos was beginning to sound like me, I thought, poor fellow, I will
probably have totally corrupted him by the time we finish.
"Suddenly, I had an
irrepressible urge to do my, (what I thought to be flawless), W. C. Fields
impersonation. "Ah yessss......reminds me of the time I took a drink of
wa-ter. Kronos was still waiting patiently. He was good that
way.
Associés
Dans
Le
Crime
This was just my way of
dealing with stressful situations. I had been, along with my various
"associés dans le crime ", asked to leave, one wedding, two funerals and a
candle light walk for victims of cancer. I had been silly all of my
life. It was a behavior that probably wouldn't soon change, without a
concerted effort on my part. I remember having been asked to leave the
room, as early as the first grade, for being too silly. But, for dear
Kronos's sake, I was going to, starting right now, work very hard on curbing my
impulses. "OK, I said, two things come together to form a new and unique
entity formed from two previously unconnected entities. But, how can one
possibly access said latter entity, eh? I paused, hoping that Kronos
would jump in and help me.
Kronos just shook his head.
"You were doing so well. He laughed. Was that Cary Grant
you were doing, with the drink of water?" I was not amuse. Kronos
continued. "By the way, that was a trick question. "You mean about
Cary Grant?" Kronos smiled. "No, about, how does one access the
fifth-dimension from there?" Although the rule works on paper, it will
not work in practice." He paused. "The reason for this is, there
is another rule that says, one can easily move in consciousness, from higher
to lower, be it vibration, or universes, or dimensions. But it is nearly
impossible to move from lower to higher without special training. This
is why you couldn't access the fifth-dimension. It is a little like
trying to fly. You can easily accomplish this feat by starting on the
roof of a ten floor building and proceeding to ground level, but nearly
impossible to reverse this process.
"Wow! I am starting to get a
handle on this!" I exclaimed excitedly. "In other words, it is
kind of like a diode in an electronic circuit, which will allow current flow in
one direction, but not the other. "Exactly, Kronos agreed." I
continued. "But I still don't understand how someone could access, say,
the fifth-dimension, even with special training. Perhaps you could
explain how this could work?" I inquired.
STAIR
STEPS
I could tell that Kronos was
enjoying himself. "These stair steps occur in a definite sequence, one
after the other. This is the actual beginning of "linear time", and
because it is linear, the up-stair case will not "see" the down-stair case, nor
will the down-stair case "see" the up-stair case, because they happen at
different times
. They appear in linear time as that of a
continuous circle
. We are seeing them as occurring coincidentally, because we are seeing
them in "non-linear time", where everything is happening at the same time.
You see Curtis, in non-linear time, all an event has to do is happen a
single time, and it will continue to happen virtually for ever! This is
without exception, so be careful what you do, because you will continue to do
it for ever! Kronos, sensing that my concentration was flagging, said.
"We will continue this tomorrow. There may be a little quiz in
the offing." He smiled beatifically.
I startled Mrs. Peel with my sudden return. We both sat there in the
dark together, man and beast. Opposites blending as one, I thought, as
we drifted off to sleep. "You know what?" I whispered to her.
"I forgot to remind him again."
