Editor's Prescription For The GNU TastyMint Ov MOO
What you see as your world is not our world. In the beyond-
time, there is a battle between what you might call "Pneumonia" and
what you might call "Loose Change". The side we label by green and
the tendency to shoplift is losing, and the side we label by the
smell of daffodils and an ineffable sense of awe is winning.
The green side, in a desperate attempt to regain footing, has
simulated a universe, a thought in the mind of a humanly
incomprehensible being you might call a God, or a Bowl of Mashed
Potatoes. It is infinite.
Thee Wholly Church Ov Thee Grate MOO is an experiment,
injected into the thought-reality of the Green God. In order to
determine the psychological makeup which beings should have when we
create the real universe, we perform selected experiments on
simulations. This particular simulation is a universe centered
around this one book. On thousands of trillions of worlds, various
forms of this one theme will be, are, and have been, repeated
endlessly. Your existence is only simulated to the extent that you
read this book: that is the purpose of your present existence.
If this book is successful, the themes of which it is a
manifestation will be incorporated into the real world when it is
created.
Do not be ashamed of living in a partial and incomplete
reality: this is part of the metabolic process of living on the
scale of the Green God and beings of its class. Even to become a
being of this class is not totally beyond possibility for your
species, or even your individual self.
Your instructions, then, are to react to this book in whatever
way is natural for you. If you find it stupid and bothersome, be
bothered by its stupidity. If it enlightens you, become
enlightened. Be what thou art is the whole of the Truth.
