1_THE GOAL

In the beginning, of the emergent universe, our intrepid travelers were created through the timeless, processes of emergent creation. Emerging as a copy of a substance dimension, into a hologram dimension. called Harmony, from a planet called Turf with a sun called Big light. They exist within a hologram dimension. a virtual reality copy, of the past substance world. The hologram dimension emerged through past memories, created in the substance world. The memories exist within the unity of past time known as harmony. The AZ universe, emerges hologram. and observer dimensions. to know and observe itself.

Knowing that children, and forming new memories, can only be created in the substance world, AMI and BOY undertake a grand mission to create children and memories in the substance world, for their return to the hologram dimension.

AMI and BOY, the Nurturer and the Protector, will use the time out and the knowledge of the codes to enter the substance dimensions, from the hologram dimension with the grand mission. To survive for a substance life cycle and relay all memories of their experiences to the hologram dimension through the time out.

They knew there would be great risks and they had no experience of death, but their mission was to survive and then to go forth and multiply. Create children and memories. They were to sense physical emotions and encounter great dangers they did not know of.

We left off where AMI and BOY have committed to this great mission and invoked the time out to enter the substance world. They are inside the time out.

2_TRANSCENDENCE

Well! Nothing moved. or made sounds. The sky did not move. Leaves stopped falling in midair. Birds, falling waters, and some poop, hung each in its spot. Land, sky, water. and life did not move. It was simply as if time stopped dead. A picture of that instant preserved before me. But somehow I felt that, if I just waited?

Then the oddest of feelings swept over my being. I felt no ill effect. but I sensed a heaviness surrounding the magnificent garden in the hologram dimension. Was the garden of harmony entering the heaviness of the substance world? Could this be the transcendence, from hologram to substance in the physical world? But, I could not experience movement. Why doesn’t something move, as if the laws of physics are suspended? Yowzah.

Then;
A puff of sound, and a spark of light.

I glanced upside my sight.

A bright star twinkling, in the crisp black sky.

More came to join the fray.

A large dark fog over nearby waters, with wetlands forming this way.

Tall clouds breaking and rains falling, leaving growing pools of water laying upon the lands of the Turf.

Clouds opening for Little-light to break through, and fogs slowly disappearing.

Small stirrings happening, now here, now there. Big-light moving, and warmness appearing.

Still naked, but strewn in awkward shape, AMI and BOY lie crumbled upon the ground. They did not move…and showed no signs of life. No movement within or without. Just silence I worried, had something gone terribly wrong? Why are they not moving?

Then, just as I could hear, I could hear that AMI and BOY could hear, inside themselves. They heard the voices;

YOU WILL NOW KNOW THE VIBRATIONS. YOU ARE OF RENASCENT BIRTH, WITHIN SUBSTANCE. YOUR SENSES ARE GUIDED, BY FORWARD TIME.

Woah. The voices were back and they were speaking to AMI and BOY. The binary codes formed from the codes translated the vibrations to me. I could hear them in my form of language. Was this to mean they had successfully transitioned from hologram existence, to substance existence? And what of me, me to?

If so, that means they, or we, are now inside the substance dimensions, inside the substance world. A renascent birth from the hologram dimension, into the substance world. And the heaviness I was experiencing was then the gravity, or as they called it the ‘waves of attraction’.

With Big light slowly warming their motionless bodies, giving its life rays, I heard the Voices speak inside them:

THE CODES OF LIFE, REQUIRE THE BREATH OF LIFE.

Stirrings, and little twitchings began. here, and then there. Nostrils fluttering. chests slightly jerking. Air. the breath-of-life. In it comes. aah.

This time when they drew breath, it was substance air entering their life forms not hologram reactions. They gasped, as they felt the Breath of Life entering all of their physical being and flowing freely within.

Each time they drew in, with the Breath of Life activating their bodies from the inside to the outside, releasing the altered air, with their life forms heaving slightly. Chests slowly bulging out, and then in. Movement, ah ha.

Breathing deeply and long, consuming great quantities of the breath of life. Gasping coughing and heaving. Gaping mouths drawing deeper, their bodies appearing to radiate as they brought the substance air into their physical bodies. They were breathing, and the smells brought smiles.

Then, I felt my own lungs unexpectedly expanding. I was feeling their breathing inside my being, and the Garden still looked the same. I heard,

ALL WILL BE THE SAME. ALL NOW WILL BE FORWARD TIME, IN THE SUBSTANCE WORLD. DRINK OF THE WATERS.

3_THE SENSES

Hands and fingers now pressing into pulsing foreheads. Such was pain. Pain never sensed before. Pushing and rubbing spots of pulsing pain. Eyes tightly sealed. Then a sharp pain crossed my brow. Woah, how did that happen? I was feeling a stinging pain crossing my forehead. Ooh pain. That. was a surprise.

With this pain, I also felt thirst. The rains left puddles of water all around. With their eyes still closed and their limbs flaying about, they scooped the life waters in the cups of their hands, then brought the waters to their mouths, and drank. I could taste it sliding down their throats. Feeling cool, it felt life giving. The ache of head then went away. Aah pleasure. Blimey.

4_THE SIGHT

The waters taste so good and they began splashing water over their heads. I felt good, and wet. Strangely, their eyes were still closed as if not ready to see. I thought, this was much like a newborn baby as I would know. As their arms groped and heads jerked about The voices spoke,

SIGHT WILL APPEAR THROUGH THE WATERS.

They then both splashing the waters into their eyes and then rubbing their eyes. Then splashing more of the cool liquid waters into their eyes, from wherever they could find it. I saw eyes slowly squinting, peeking, opening, and then a blur of light appearing. I felt their first sight. It was at first hazy, with sight focusing. Stretching their eyes wide and looking all around, they focused on each other. I felt like I could see new colours, and I had a deeper intensity of vision and hearing. Then, as they were talking, I could hear the snapping of a twig as BOY spoke.

His first sounds were of the nature they knew. In harmony as they mimicked the sounds into meaning. Their sounds were of a different world, more like the sounds of nature, and harmonic, but I could hear clearly, as their utterings were instantly translated inside me through the Binary code.

My voice draws effort, but I can see, that you can see. We both have sight. Aah. Sitting up, and grabbing each other’s shoulders, they hugged intensely, their naked, warming bodies. seeing, holding and comforting each other.

5_DO THINGS

Quickly their bodies ached in a different way. Their bodies were telling them they needed more. It was Hunger. Me Too. Holographic garden taste is all they knew, not hunger with their stomachs churning. They now needed energy. The voices told them.

EAT OF THE FOODS.
They needed food, and there were foods in the substance garden. AMI first rose. and upon stepping, she stumbled a bit, and BOY Leapt out to protect her. His hand hit a sharp rock, her back grazed a stump. They both misjudged and fell together on the rough ground. The voices told them,

BALANCE MIND TO BODY.
They then realized, they had more weight and were heavier, in the substance world. They needed to exert more force to move. As they started to walk they both felt uneasy and that their sense of balance was being tested.

They had lots of strength and as they took their first steps they soon learned to make easy the difference. Aah, balance.

They laughed at their clumsiness. I felt a few bruises on my side, and actually felt myself assimilating to this world in a physical way. Gadzooks.

But Hunger. Now needing to eat, with stomach growling, they wandered around eating much of the berries and the nuts still in the garden. Munching and licking and chewing the tasty foods. With the taste and the

satisfaction of the foods dispersing their hunger, they smiled at each other.

I felt less hunger. Aah. Taste

When they had sated their hunger, they looked all around at the Garden. All looked as it was, but when they noticed the smallest of changes, smiles turned to frowns.

They had arrived within the restricted movements of the substance world. Not free like in the garden of harmony where they could leap and grab bananas high on the tree. I felt grounded.

I could now see how they did such incredible athletic feats. The waves of attraction, or gravity, would have much less effect in the hologram dimension where there is no substance.

Then I noticed as they looked over their parts, they could feel their hearts beating and sensing air and blood circulating through their bodies. Feeling each other’s hearts beating, and with their eyes bulging, and their mouths opening, no words could be said. They were alive inside substance. The hologram became the substance.

The air was still warm, but with a cool wind beginning to blow against their naked bodies, making their limbs quiver. Shivering, just from the hint of an icy wind. Burrrr. Me too.

Hugging tightly, both shivering with uncertainty all around them. AMI said,

What are these feelings through our substance? We know nothing to come. What now? Everything was now unknown.

BOY holding her tightly said;

Whatever be, will be. If not us, the AZ universe will continue. The mission cannot be denied. My AMI, I assure to my life no harm come to you, or our mission. We will prevail.

They felt many new things and emerging emotions happening that they had not experienced before. This was a totally different existence. Things were not like in the Garden of Harmony.

6_DANGER

As they looked over the garden, some of their beloved plants were wilting before them. AMI bent down, touched a brown leaf, and it crumbled in her hands. This they knew would be so, and again no words were spoken.

But they were shocked when they saw animals chasing others now with unspeakable carnage. A large snake slithered past them and struck fast to grab a small mouse-like creature, which it slowly swallowed whole. They gasped. AMI snorted.

They both jumped back. I jumped up. The snake slid silently into the dark bushes with its fat mouse belly. They both held their hands to their mouths with their eyes springing wide open. Holding hands as they stood side-by-side they were witnessing their world as they knew it, crumbling around them. Shock

Life was decaying, and in this new world no creature could feel safe. Life was now tenuous at best, with animals scattering. Their garden quickly changing from the beautiful Garden of Harmony to the destructive Garden of entropy. The entire garden seemed to be merging into the substance world or the substance world merging into the garden?

Impending Carnage was everywhere. Existence as AMI and BOY knew it, was gone. All their creature friends were disappearing into the dark. As their brows were furrowing deeply, they looked at each other and silently murmured their defiance. The Voices said,

YOUR VISION WILL RETURN TO THE HOLOGRAM DIMENSION AT YOUR DIMINISH.

Ok, they used the codes to enter the substance world through the time-out. Are they are also saying that it applies the other way around, and that their vision will return them to their beloved garden of harmony? Yes they are. But, at the diminish?

The Voices spoke to AMI and BOY,

FORWARD-TIME NOW BEGINS. FORWARD-TIME IS OF DIMENSIONAL FLUX AND SUBSTANCE ENTANGLEMENT. ONE PARTICLE OR WAVE LEADS, OTHERS WILL OBEY. GO FORTH AND MULTIPLY.

A gigantic explosion went off in my mind. ‘Dimensional Flux’? Are they saying the dimensions of space are moving? And ‘Substance Entanglement’? Are they saying, the random movements of particles through the dimensions affects the random movement of other particles? They are. Then,

THE CODES FOR YOUR FULL JOURNEY WILL BE 3,000,000,000 HEARTBEATS. EACH LIVING PART SET TO DIMINISH IN BALANCE, AND THEREBY DIMINISH UNTIL IT CAN NO LONGER DIMINISH.

So they and their children would age according to life codes, and their substance could only survive life for about 3 BILLION HEARTBEATS. Well if a

heartbeat is like a second that would be about 3 billion seconds. How long is that?

THE DIMINISH IS CAUSED BY LIFE CYCLE CODES. YOUR LIFE WILL BE 55 UNAIDED CYCLES. THE DIMINISH IS YOUR LIFE’S TIME LINE.

I wondered, did a cycle mean one year or was it how many times their bodies could survive diminishing cycles? And what is an unaided cycle? They continued;

THE DURATION OF EACH CYCLE WILL BE TWO RETURNS OF EACH WEATHER.

I see, I think. So if one return of their weather would be one of their years, then two returns of their weather would be two of their years. Then if there are two years times 55 divides, that would mean 110 of their returns or years. That sounds close to on Earth if their returns are similar to my years. They Voiced,

THE TIME OUT Will SLOW THE DIMINISH. ONLY THE DANGERS YOU FACE CAN DIMINISH THE DIMINISH.

Golly, AMI and BOY had woke to a first new day. Their lives were dependent on how they face the coming dangers, and there was danger everywhere The Turf was not safe. They knew it and could only watch in horror as all traces of Harmony would soon be gone. They stood side by side, arm in arm looking over their beautiful garden,

7_THE CODES

No time to waste as their senses clearly told them. Time now became precious, each heartbeat of forward time a thing to hold and to remember. The Voices then said to AMI and BOY,

KNOW THE WISDOM OF VISION IN ALL ENDEAVOURS. CODES ARE THE POWER OF ZERO WITH THE LESS AND THE MORE. MAKE MARKS

FOR OTHERS TO KNOW.

The instructions were clear. The Codes are of numbers. Mathematics. They even knew of zero. The idea of zero, meaning nothing, seemed a gigantic leap. They could think outside of one and make more or even less. In the hands of Vision the numbers wielded great power through the codes.

And, they would make the marks for others to know. Marks? I can understand that language is innate in many animals and they know specifically what each sound means. Even monkeys have sounds that keep them safe and together. I have heard crows as they gather against a predatory eagle and as they call for night and as they sit silent on branches and wires watching a dead comrade below. Be it danger, threat, unity or attracting AMI and BOY knew all the sounds and what they meant.

But marks means, converting those sounds into some written form. I wondered, how could that happen? but they knew the codes.

8_SHELTER

As I watched everything and how quickly everything was changing, BOY said,

First we need to know shelter from the cold and the falling waters and the dangers we now face.

AMI; Yes, then to find water and foods, and other help for our life forms.

Their thoughts were in unison. They knew of their need to know shelter and protection, from their new world around them. They would also need to

know of water, and foods, and cures, and how to find them. But shelter first.

Then clouds started to form, not cloudless like before. Clouds becoming dark and threatening. The air was changing, it could get cold.

They were naked and could feel the chilly air already. It was getting later in the day and Biglight had passed over half way. They needed to find warmth and shelter from the coming weather. BOY said;

We must know clarity, to know the problem, to visualize what we need, and to use numbers in our minds to put the Codes together.

Their Vision would help them make a plan, from there on. Where could they go? AMI said,

Like in Harmony, there be the large cave across the fast river. The cave be well protected and hath a bounty of soils, and waters in the fields and in the three far fetching valleys. Breath-of-life blows clear and Big-light gives a lot, for all manner of creatures to exist. From

there we can sow the seeds we collect and grow foods to eat. We can store foods and water and build our children’s home and sanctuary.

BOY said,

Oh yes. For now the cave you speak of from our travels, is far away. There are now many unknown dangers, and we cannot make it before Biglight falls. We will need to stay now and leave when Biglight rises again. When we leave on the rise we can arrive at the cave and have some Big light left to make the spark and set protection.

I was high enough and could look down where they pointed. The cave sat within a low but wide secluded ledge that overlooked the forested valleys and the broad fields below. It was on the far side of a fast river. Fresh breezes and swift running waters ran through the valleys that led to the big-waters and strange lands beyond.

They also knew they must take the seeds of any foods or plants of cure with them to grow anew. Then after gently gathering seeds and wrapping them in layers of large leaves, they sealed the top with thick dry moss to protect the seeds and keep them dry inside. Vines were wrapped around it and tucked inside of each other.

From high above I could see in the far fields by the cave that there were trees, and plants of possible berries or nuts. Maybe mushrooms or tubers were there. It was possible that there would be a fig tree or coconut tree or even a fruit tree nearby. But I could see, not easy to get there. To reach the cave it could be over half of one Big-light away. AMI started to shiver as it got very cool. BOY hugged her tightly as a few drops of rain started to fall. AMI said,

Yea, we must shelter here and now.

They had no choice. They had to have shelter here and now while they still had the Big light and before all became wet. It was not possible they could make it to the cave before dark and there seemed many dangers on the way.

They huddled under a tall tree and out of the drizzle to make a plan. There was no natural shelter anywhere nearby, only the cover of trees. Looking and thinking where can we run to? They had to get away from the shiver.

They both had a similar Vision, and I could sense many thoughts as if they were speaking out loud. BOY looked at the trees and the branches lying around. He said,

To gather many large plant leaves and tie them over a frame of branches. This will keep us dry.

To gather many dry mosses from the sides of these trees. This will keep us warm.

They both immediately set to the task. BOY found a long thick branch lying below an alder type tree. He first looked to where Big light would rise. Then after breaking little bits off the branch, he wedged the branch as a support between two branches of close trees. The opening faced toward where Big light would rise. The branch was below chest high at the support and had level ground below.

Then he gathered long sticks from newly fallen branches. Tugging hard and breaking more loose branches from trees nearby, he placed all the branches in a row from the ground to the support with the ground end about a body length behind. He placed them all at the same angle about a hand width apart.

Then they broke off long, thin saplings and vines by smashing them between two rocks and made them easy to bend by lightly pounding certain spots. They then wove the flexible saplings and vines across and through the long sticks, which rested on the support. It looked as if they had made a sloping basket roof by weaving the long saplings through the sticks. It was sturdy and could form the frame for their shelter to keep the rains and the dangers away.

Meanwhile, AMI was gathering large wide plant leaves and started tying their long stems to the saplings in the frame overlapping the leaves all the way from the bottom to the top.

She then tied and draped leaves over the front a little. They placed small sticks and shards of bark, and sods over the leaves to hold it all in place. This all made for a watertight roof and they hoped, little chance the winds will blow it away. This would help keep them dry. It still sprinkled lightly outside.

Part way done. They had raced to create shelter and a roof was a great start. They needed to sit inside and rest and dry out. They could sit for a spell and clean the debris and crush the small sharp sticks sticking up from the ground under the roof. They had made progress, but lots to do. As they sat hugging, they brought together their bodies to warm each other. They felt pleasure in the closeness of their bodies. Looking closely into BOY’s eyes and breathing deeply through her nose. AMI said,

I could nay survive this journey without you. I miss our friends in harmony. Are they alive in substance as we are?

BOY,

We will find those as we can.

Resting and cooing while shivering with cold dampness, their comfort was in each other. Then came a break in the falling waters. A sliver of light shone through. Smiling and jumping, this was their chance.

AMI found and placed 2 rows of finger thick sticks about a hand apart across each end of the shelter. She hammered them into the ground with a large rock and wove a few small saplings between them. This formed the walls. Neat.

Now they had to gather clumps of dry moss, not damp, from the sides of mossy trees to keep warm. They only took moss that Biglight had dried. They ran out and scattered each way. Pealing loose bark off trees, then piling the dry mosses high on large slices of bark to carry back to their shelter.

They found and pulled lots of mosses, and returned several times. They put it all in a pile as high as the shelter. Then they stuffed the moss into the side walls as high as the roof on both sides. They stuffed moss under the roof leaves and tried to fill gaps where wind could blow through.

They knew the ground would become cold and they had only body warmth, so, they tried to raise the floor off the ground with some pieces of bark laid over thin springy saplings. They filled the floor high with soft debris covered with lots and lots of dry moss.

BOY then grabbed a crust of tree bark to dig a trench around their shelter to divert the coming waters away. The rain would flow down the leaves and through the trough they dug by hand around their shelter and then flow past the front of their shelter. It was ingenious and it could work. As they stood looking upon their creation, AMI felt wet between her legs and said,

Ooh, there are strange waters running between my legs. They are coming from inside me. They are not pure as the waters we drink.

She reached to touch, and BOY said

Let it be. It is the waters we have drank of. They have burnt within us and must now be released back to the Turf. It is the ‘Bwa’.

She went a short distance from the shelter then put her legs apart and opened her pore to release the bwa, directly to the ground.

BOY also felt the growing pressure inside. It was the right time to release the bwa. I also felt a need to pee. The waters poured out from his pore. He stood and was able to direct the burnt waters against the sides of trees. He walked and marked many trees around their shelter area. This reminded me of animals warning other animals to leave their territory. As they finished releasing the bwa, they felt relieved and satisfied and I felt better.

Then after rolling a few large tree branches in front of the opening, they jumped inside. With the leaves overhanging, the open part was less than two feet. They finished and it now rained outside.

Feeling thirst again, AMI held a large leaf out through the opening and when it quickly filled, they drank. Now warmer and dry, but they were also exhausted and ached and had marks all over their skin. Brushing each other off and checking over their physical selves they both spontaneously started giggling and then burst into laughter. Their eyes locked as never before. So many strange new feelings were emerging in this strange substance world. Uh hu. Deep breathing and then tiredness prevailed.

Huddling together and covering themselves with the dry moss and the leaves, they had finished in time, and it was starting to darken with bigger rains coming. The grunt was hard work, and I felt tired. They felt fortunate.

They sat looking out into the new night discussing what the night and the next day would bring. Will they reach the cave safely? The night then turned ugly. Dark clouds were again approaching and they sent out great threatening noises. The noises appeared after tremendous flashes of bright energy. The flashes had rocked the air with violence and the threatening noises continued.

Their eyes became blurry and their muscles were weak. They were exhausted, their eyes closed and they gladly sunk into each other’s arms.

9_FIRES

After they had slept a short time they were startled to the sound of a brilliant clap of lightening very nearby. They peered through the opening and their eyes amazed them. The sky lit up repeatedly and thunder crackled over the land. It startled them, and many animals too, as they scurried about. BOY spoke of comfort to AMI and said,

See at the push and pull of AZ energies. It is so beautiful to know. We will have many memories of past times to bring back to harmony.

They knew through the codes, it was the force of attraction-repulsion that sought balance with the Sky and the Turf. I knew it as electricity and maybe magnetism otherwise known as lightening. They were worried, but they were dry for now. The skies cleared somewhat and the storm was abating. The skies were lit in the near distance from many small fires created by the lightening. Then dark smokes rose from fire red flames, and the smell of the smokes was heavy everywhere. They marveled at the fires and their flames and smoke. They were safe but the fires were between them and the cave.

Then a great blast came out of low flames, as a giant tree burst into fire. The flames shot high into the sky. Many adjacent trees also burst into

flame and covered large areas. The fires now looked as one. There was a rumble through the ground that came from their burning. BOY said,

When we reach the cave we must make the spark or find fire. Fire is our protection, our heat, our light. We can do many things with fire. We cannot survive our mission, without fire.

As they lay to sleep a small furry animal came close to the doorway. Ami reached over the log to help it come inside. The animal snarled with sharp teeth and raised a paw of claws. AMI pulled back. BOY dove at the creature to protect AMI, and the creature sped off into the murky side brush. AMI then said;

Yeow. How could a loved creature refuse help and threaten? What of Oink, and Coo? What of Hop and Baa? What of Ahoo and Pecker. Could they ever be like that?

BOY raised his quickly forming eyebrow stubble. They had never experienced such behaviour in Harmony. The creature did not see it that way. This put them on guard. They felt sad, they would miss their friends. They now knew a sadness. BOY went out and found a long stick with a pointy end and kept it at the shelter opening for protection.

The night outside became cold to their nakedness, but they needed to sleep. It rained hard that night and there they were. BOY said,

We must sleep now as life forms do.

The load noises and pounding rain could not stop them to sleep. They slept wrapped together covered with moss and leaves. They were dry and had body warmth in the small shelter, and the waters passed away through the trench they made.

I could only feel amazement at how their Vision had shown them the path to create such a thing with no tools, no modern made thing. Just using natural emergents they constructed life saving shelter. They had never been in any kind of life threatening situation before. Yet they survived where others would have had little chance. Booya.

What dangers lie ahead? Will tomorrow bring more challenges?

Their first day in the substance world was a very brave day. They were ready for the fire day.
