Please, just before going to sleep,
look up for a while at these bays and straits again,
don't reject the ideas or dreams
that come to you from them.Herman Hesse
Magister Ludi
CONVERSATION
Who are you? I ask.
I am Commander Geordi LaForge, he says.
Ahh! You are like Herman Hesse, beyond our timespace, I say.
But you have no sight ...
... only glass beads for eyes.
How can you help me see?He laughs and says, I also cannot speak, but you hear me now.
Don't you??Well, I ...
Well actually I do *hear* something, but we have no word for dreamspeak ...
Some call it telepathy, but that is something else, I say.Then take direction in dreamspeak!
Here, hold this sphere, he says.An electrical-like pulse jolts my being.
What was that? I say.That was your wake-up call -- your next key, he says grinning.
What do you *know* now?
What do you know after that jolt from that giant glass bead?WoW!
I CAN SEE!
I can see directly without words. I can see without language.
Some part of me knows --- directly --- exactly what you mean.
I laugh, Yes, Dave Bowman was right, 'It's all so simple to me now.'So now you KNOW.
You can talk to ANY one, about ANY thing, at ANY time, he says.Even the Magister himself? I ask.
Especially *hesself*
and he laughs.Why are you laughing? I ask.
In dreamspace ALL worlds are valid.
In dreamspace ALL beings are accessible.
Have a conversation -- it's as simple as that, he says.OH! so this is another *key*?
I am pleased with myself.
