[IC] Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by RoadkilBanana>

*You look forward and something is wrong... though the initial mental anguish seems to have subsided merely for a little, the room before you seems to continue on into the depths far beyond any logical geometry or possibility. This would have been a building unit the size of an average house... yet what you see before your eyes is a seemingly endless hall of rooms without doors and broken furniture and abandoned and broken utensils... something is way off.*



*And when you look back... uuuh... where's the entry room you came through into this habitat module?*

@Shadrack Nor

∆: C'mon... Now you're teleporting me? Whoever's doing this trippy crapfest had better stop...

*I start to walk around the area, finding more of the same. The room seems to stretch out from beyond my vision...*

*You turn a corner and enter past a door frame where normaly there should be a door, except that frame is actually an completely out of place small tunnel the size and shape of a doorframe but extends out for a few dozen feet until you enter in another expanse of halls and habitat-warehouse like rooms - and what's worse, is that, yes the previous scenario was dead silent and frozen in time, but you could at least see the people that would have moved in there and the vehicles and the activity that was frozen, this place however... this place is just EMPTY... like out of place empty...*

Soldier Boy: Yeah... no kidding...

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: Understandable! We now need to train your minds and souls as much as your martial disciplines. You need to develop a strong and defiant sense of self that cannot be manipulated or tackled as easily as most people's are...

Then fighting C'thon is not so simple. it is an endless game of Chess mixed with Go... it is strategy upon strategy, and it is an ever changing and evolving battlefield for which, when we are there we will have heavenly military encampments where we can start to talk about each anomalous situation we encounter and actively draw samples to see how to thoroughly oppose that particular chaos.

Our main goal is to save and consecrate as many souls as possible BEFORE we start rebuilding the laws of physics. And remember, order and balance is C'thon's strongest weakness. Once we rescue the souls and deny it it's meal, we then step in and stabilize that place, after which we can more easily hunt down and capture or eliminate whatever apparition is there haunting that location.

I really wish my father were here... he’d be an expert in this.
*Rubs my hands together*
How do we capture loose souls?

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: *Looks pensively* Perhaps we could arrange that? If you know his whereabouts, you could send a copy of yours to contact him and ask for his assistance, that is if this is even up his lane of work. And just show him your upgrades and tell him that the Lords of this world are generous in rewarding heroic actions and good hearts.

Soldier Boy: *I look wide eyed and frown at Ar'Gavryiell* Wait... you serious? you want to invite the FATHER of this problem dude here? I get you redeemed and did your best to set things straight... but seriously? Like... this whole thing began happening after his arrival?

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: *Looks intensely at me putting me in my place in true archangel fashion* You should not judge what is beyond you! You cannot put the blame on him, for if God Himself doesn't anymore who do you think you are to do so? The mystery of cause and effect and the way the vastness dances is a mistery better left to the minds that can grasp it, not us... Yes the invitation stands.

It’s... a moot point. My father currently doesn’t want to be found, and he’s the type of person that, in those circumstances, probably won’t be.

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: No quarrel about it then! It was just an apropos... but then, all that left for another more relaxed discussion, time to practice meditation and self awareness in intense situations now. Gotta find yourself before you can tackle an enemy that specifically wants to lose you from yourself before God and Gradfather know what...

Meditation is the one area I have prior experience in. Let’s do this.

Soldier Boy: *I look at you and i awkwardly try to replicate how you do it, evidently lacking true understanding of the technique* Ehh... sooo... what next?

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: We need to first hone in our awareness. Breathe in, breathe out, but don't just do the breath. You need to focus on how it feels first, focus on how it feels to breathe in then how to breathe out...

This is the essential first step to develop the muscle of your awareness even more...

*The collective of Prisms breathes in sync, undisturbed by their surroundings*

[The Odeoron]

Soldier Boy: *the mass of Benjamins do the breathing, but it is a bit out of sync, one is heard shuffling, one is heard moaning in complaint* Damn... this is... boring... and quite annoying

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: Prism is doing it right, you, however, need to understand a bit more of what this focus entails. You not only need to focus on your intention of being aware 100% on one particular thing with all your mind, emotion and feeling, but how to ignore the constant streams of emotions, thoughts, worries, desires and all around chaos that an undisciplined mind is naturally generating on a constant basis. Then do these things together, and you have done your very first consciousness "push up"

Theme of Prism's Upliftment in consciousness and awareness of the deeper self --> NEUROQ - Eastern Grace

*As you recombine, a profound realization washes over you. The once-blurry lines between your countless selves have sharpened, each individual consciousness now distinct within a unified whole. It's as if a higher level of awareness has awakened within you, a central 'you' overseeing a symphony of reflections.



This newfound clarity extends beyond the mental. You feel a surge of energy focused in your anterior cingulate cortex, both in your physical brain and the ethereal essence that is your spirit. It's a command center, a throne room where you rule over your myriad selves with unwavering authority.

The fear of losing yourself to fractured personalities, a constant specter in your past, now seems distant. You can sense the thoughts and emotions of each individual Prism identity after recombining in one, guiding them, correcting their course if needed, and ultimately reintegrating them into the whole without the risk of contamination.

This is more than just an evolution of your powers; it's a transformation of your very being. You are no longer a collection of fragments, but a symphony conductor, orchestrating a harmonious chorus of consciousness. The potential for chaos remains, but now you wield the baton, shaping your destiny with newfound precision and control.*

Soldier Boy: *After about an hour of suffering my multitude finally seems to have relaxed in an intense state of focus the like one wouldn't expect for such a rough and tumble soldier man, almost like that 'inspiration' i was claimed to have, has fully taklen hold of my discipline and i'm now suddenly in tune with a deep and abiding mental clarity*

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: *Looking at the both of us and sensing our deep and resonating surprise in our consciousnesses* Hmmm... interesting... how very... profound! I'm impressed with what i'm feeling here... way past what i expected!

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: In you Prism, i sensed from the first time we met you had great potential, despite the mess you pulled with that universe, however Soldier boy... i mean it is my failing for doubting Grandfather's wisdom for choosing him especially with a tesseract. He was hiding his potential quite well... How do you feel now? Tell me... i'm curious!

Soldier Boy: *Still in deep meditation and trance as the many tesseract copies from my multitude begin to levitate above my head and my body begins to shine with intense light as the atmosphere begins to electrify and heat up shortly before a thunder clap is heard and ain a flash all my copies are re-merged within just one of me -- Gently opening my eyes i take a relaxed breath in and out as i seem like a completely different person*

I... i understand now...

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: *Blinks in passionate curiosity and enjoyment of the show*

*I gently wave my hand in front of me as my entire attire changes, my brown-green eyes previously fairly normal now glow with an ethereal perpetual oceanic blue light and i take a breath in, then release it giving a wave of intense clarity and certainty all around me even seemingly helping others who could feel it, sense they are more grounded and present*

Uplifted Benjamin

Benjamin: This is good... oh this is so good! *I smirk excitedly yet serene*
