Picture some palm trees on a beautiful
white beach, like in the movie “Contact”.
Then picture someone highly intelligent walking toward
you on that beach, but, unlike the movie, the person is not
a simulation of a loved relative. The person is rather
alien, different, but very aware and benign in the mood of a
benefactor. That incredible being comes right up to you
and starts off by asking you a poignant question: “Are
you absolutely sure you are merely getting into a note here?”
Picture yourself on a desert planet, perhaps
somewhat like Dune (or Arrakis),
but without the giant worms. Picture that it is more real than
any science-fiction creation. The planet has vast deserts,
but it also has oceans and mountain lakes with wonderful gardens
and gigantic trees where the people live. These people seem
to be birdlike. They have wings and they fly. One of
them sails down and lands before you with a question. “If
you did not understand the last note,
how do you intend to comprehend this one?”
Picture that you are on a planet with
great oceans, but very little productive land, yet that land
is kept super-productive for the amphibian people the ancient
Egyptians called the “Water
Dogs”. This is the planet Iarga,
which orbits the star Procyon. Now,
you have arrived here and you are riding in a carriage on one
of their superfast monorail trains between island cities, crossing
over a long causeway. There is a beautiful twilight effect
on the ocean, which you view with strangely luminous, massive
clouds above the ocean. You feel like you are looking
into eternity. You express this feeling to a Iargan citizen
who is sitting beside you on the train. That individual
then says: “I
often feel that way myself. I never tire of it, even
mentally in a note.” Then
the scene collapses and you are at the end of another unpredictable
note-session.
