“Ok…I’m gonna be honest”. Lon T. Ranger said, looking through the mirror, speaking to you. “I don’t got a clue what we’re supposed to do–I mean– if I can’t see you, how will ya get verified to get access to information in a tree? That is—if you are meant to do somethin’ similar to what I did earlier by touchin’ a tree then pluckin’ a mushroom to find a trail of chips”. He put his hand on his belly, groaning, “this ache still don’t feel too good”.
He switched his gaze from the pieces of the mirror in his hand to the Manual then back to the pieces.
He addressed the Manual–“On this internet thing—if that’s what it’s called–do they have a tree they can press–or is there any tree I take them to? Is the tree that I take them to the same one I touched? Maybe we can just ask the Manual…. I’ll feel better that way in sending you off “. He said, turning his attention to you, ” Sorry.. don’t mean to hold ya up. I jus’ can’t help it—it’s in my nature to make sure anyone I accompany on a trail will be alright. An’ I don’t want you gettin’ stuck anywhere in between time–even if I don’t know where within time you are.” Lon T. Ranger then scratched his head, asking, “does the Manual on your end say anything?” There was silence, except for the sound of crickets in the background and his rumbling belly. “Forgot that I can’t hear ya”.
A card slipped out of the Manual into his hand, reading, “Pluck Mushroom…”
“Go Figure…wonder why it didn’t want me to touch a tree first”, Lon T. Ranger responded. He followed, pulling. Surely a new trail of stitch marks appeared (instead of chips)— going towards a distance.. with no end in sight.
“Even if I were to follow that trail– stitch by stitch–like my mammy would when apprasin’ her quilt stiches–bless her heart–I’m unsure this trail of stitches would ever end–I wonder where it goes”.
Card: If you are curious regarding where these stitchmarks will take you, you can read the text on these cards—or else you can skip and click “Go to Contract” then just click the checkbox at the bottom of that page, (afterall, who reads contracts unless you’re a lawyer?) However, those who bother to read the long terms often find the “loopholes” needed to crack a system or whatever terms are listed in a contract—and the information listed on these cards might just come in handy when cracking the System of Self”.
Lon T. Ranger: “Better to be smart like a lawyer an’ read then… jus’ don’t take my money; cause, ya know, that’s what laywers do–at least in 1849..they charge for every lil’ thing– wonder if they do that in your time too. Anyway, I’m poor as a church mouse– an’ the only thing of value I got is this thread–which seems to count for everythin’ around here. An’ if you’re like a lawyer– don’t take what I said about lawyers personally–it’s probably only what some lawyers do in 1849. This year, them laywers are a bunch of thieves–one even tried to take my mule from me. Now where’s that contract?”
As he was saying this, the worm showcased a loop sticking out from the soil, then when back down for a dive in the soil, continuing to stich as the loophole remained. Lon T. Ranger kept reading.
(how about something about clues…card dtective
Clues
Card: The Cosmic Traveler(s) you’re reading to are about to access their first story in the PNS.
Card: To access a story in a tree and find the route and nerve this tree is on, a Cosmic Traveler must first verify their identity as a Self. This is due to the electric grid being first built underneath Self-Island with the worm there sending its threads through cells in the soil.
Card: These cells also represent the memories of a self. As the worm passes its threads underneath the island, a cast of dragons in another dimension under earth, take the threads and draw them through a crystalline grid, which constitutes as the electric grid of earth in the shape of a crystal. At the time of the worms’ passing of threads to the dragons… the threads are converted into light.
Card: While the treasure underneath Self-Island and Earth beat, they create an Electromagnetic Field whose vibrations the worm in the Black Forest detects through its wrapped threads and then transmits these same vibrations through the mycelium to the roots of a tree in the Black Forest—that is how the data is stored and can only be accessed by an authorized self.
Card: Just like how the electric grid is powered, in knowing which households to send electricity to– the worm knows which trees to go to along the tracts… like the nerves in a body that transmit electric pulses and transmit signals according to direction received from the brain.
Card: Information from the cellular memories in the soil of Self-Island are transmitted to trees within the Black Forest through the Crystalline grid—like a brain sending signals to parts of the body.
Card: Trees are planted on an intersection between the stitch marks the worm sews and of actual geographical routes. Like arteries/veins and nerves–which run side by side in the human body. the nerves (represented by threads and mycelium) and arteries (represented by the routes) in the PNS of the System of Self also run side by side.
Card: The Portkey is the identifying number of an island–or a Self. These Portkeys are ordered in accordance with the Fibonacci sequence. Technically—there is only one Self-Island as all humans represent a single Self—however, the portkey is the determining factor in whose island, or which unique self’s memory another can access through a tree.
Card: Within the internet systems–which exists in the present day of the other selves beyond the mirror, there are firewalls protecting unauthorized access to devices. Similarly, there is a firewall acting as a barrier under Self-Island—which also protects another Self’s memories from unauthorized access to memories.
Card: To transcend past the firewall of Self-Island and gain authorized access to memories belonging to that of another Portkey (memories having been transmitted from the cells underneath Self-Island to a tree on a route that will be revealed to verified Cosmic Selves)–an identity must first be authorized”.
Lon T. Ranger: “My mind’s gone blank.. maybe I WOULD have needed a lawyer to understand all of this–Anyway, I’ll be watchin’ the chips… hope ya make it, Friend, and remember, if you ever feel lost.. I’ll be right here waiting for ya on the Main Circuit… all ya gotta do is click “the next button below this message–or if in expanded view, click the x an’ then the next button’–or so the card says, I don’t got a clue what any of that means, I’m jus’ readin’–so don’t shoot the messenger. Also–remember, we’ve got that wave to release to save Jed–so kindly hurry back on here when ya get a chance–ya hear? Then again looks like time be forgivin’ might heal everythin’, includin’ this stomach ache. Hope ya find a clue on that Elixir of Life–then let me know somehow… there’s gotta be a cure to all this achin..in my stomach… and mind.”
