The Big Laboratory 4

The Big Laboratory 4

Mar 20, 2024

 Khaled spent days working and working and he somehow forgot about Al-Botrs and what Al-Botrs taught him, until one day he realized he is going nowhere, he was literally running in circles not achieving anything, but working so much. Khaled was disappointed with himself and didn’t know what to do, he walked back to the back door of the shop and knocked on the door. Al-Botrs opened the door and greeted him, they sat and started talking. Al-Botrs asked “ what is the problem ?” Khaled replied “ I seem to have dug myself in a hole, I regained my ability to work without shaking but Im not going anywhere, im recreating what I have already done and not innovating something new. Im sorry I left last time in a hurry but I felt the urge to work and didn’t focus on what you where saying” Al-Botrs laughed and said “ who said you ever left?” Khaled was confused and asked “ what do you mean, and how did this get here ?” He saw the medicine bottle that he bought on the day he entered. Al-Botrs laughed and asked Khaled to look at the date of the prescription filled out, it was still the same date. Khaled was amazed and confused. Al-Botrs quickly said “ Dont be frightened this is the nature of this room, but I must ask you what did you learn ?” Khaled paused for a bit and replied “ Nothing… I reached nowhere, which makes me believe that dopamine is not the answer, but it did fix my problem, maybe I should get another medication? Maybe something that will give me all of the chemicals that you talked about.” Al-Botrs laughed “ You are smart but not as smart as you think, another medication will not help you, you will stay stuck in your ways. So try to remember, what do you need to elevate and transcend your reality?” Khaled thought for a bit “ I need the other chemicals Serotonin and Norepinephrine” Al-Botrs rejoiced “ Great let us start then, if you have noticed you had the ability to work more but you still didn’t gain the ability to listen to your internal conversation, you are still a slave to the world and to your masters. Your masters being your instincts, and the people in your life who control them” Khaled stopped Al-Botrs “ What do you mean people who control them? “ Al-Botrs continued “ Soon you will realize that this life is nothing but a machine working, very similar to the AI you are working on, we as humans we are bound by rules that you will understand as you progress through life, and you will realize that there is a reality where people in real life are the ones that decide your fate, and decide your thoughts, and decide your actions. But don’t despair the moment you are aware of them, you break there magic and become independent.” Khaled then asked “ But really what do you mean ?” Al-Botrs answered “ Humans are like robots that work through realities, the only difference we have from robots is that we have free will, but only when we are awaken to it. In reality we dont have free will, but when we transcend realities and become aware of our masters, the people who influence us and control us we become burdened with the concept of free will, it is not easy and it is not pleasant but at least you gain control. You must understand that you are an individual in a system far greater than you, and everyone plays a role in this system, and being aware of this system is the reason why people become mentally ill, because it might seem that they have lost control over themselves but in reality they have gained control of their brain by being aware of the machine, but still haven’t gained control of there bodies, and so they are burdened by the idea which is the source of all mental illnesses is that they are not in control and people can easily influence them. But do not despair for your journey will teach you how to control yourself and control your mind, so that you choose the foreign influences that control you.” Khaled then asked “But I want to be fully in control” Al-Botrs laughed “ being fully in control is a huge burden that you are not ready for, it is an idea that will slowly kill you. You must become like a river rushing through a stream flowing with the world, and not become the rock that stays stagnant and doesn’t move. The first move is to be aware, the first step is to listen.” Khaled asked “How do I do that ?” Al-Botrs answered “ Breath, understand and control your breathing and you control your body and mind.” Al-Botrs started teaching Khaled breathing techniques and teaching him to breathe through his nose instead of his mouth, and quickly Khaled started understanding the power of air and breath, it is like our way of filtering thoughts, the more you hold your breath the more a thought dwells and progresses in your mind, and the moment you breath in you slowly silence it, when you breath out and deplete your CO2 levels you slow your heart rate and clear your mind. Khaled started practicing steadily until he was able to actually listen to his mind, he started listening to the streams of thought going into his mind as if it was a radio. He gained control on the channels blocking some and making others speak, he realized that everything in his mind is manifested in the real world, he realized that things happening in his mind is as real as the things that are happening in real life but all he needs to do is filter out the cancerous thoughts, the thoughts that create diseases, the thoughts that are evil and bad in nature that corrupt the soul and the mind if they fester to filter the lies from the truth. With the help of his new found friend Al-Botrs and his cat and the crow Khaled started to control the chaos inside if his mind and started to gain control over his body and his actions. 

Meanwhile Karim was playing the game with the hacker, trying to understand the machine. Karim had a fight with Anna but Anna was just acting to be hurt because Al-Botrs and Lilith told her to act as if she knew nothing about Alex. 

While Adam remembered more and more of his life and powers, but he is going to take a trip to the undercity, the city where all the chaos of his life where manifested. While Khaled and Karim are steadily improving at their skills.

Adam gets ready to go to university but he sees his notebook that he was writing the passage on it earlier the night before. He sits down and continues writing "... and saw the layers of hell and heaven and love between them" Adam started to remember, Adam usually takes his earphones but this time he decided not to take them. He goes down and takes the bus, two old ladies sit in the seat next to him. One of the ladies started talking about her daughter who after a big fight divorced her husband. Adam was unintentionally listening to the conversation, he takes out his phone to put music on but remembers he didn't take his earphones with him, so he is obliged to sit there listening to the conversation, Adam started to remember that day he wished his parents will get divorced because all of the fighting, you see at that time his parents started to suspect that they where hurting Adam but they couldn't stop taking there meds so they fought a lot about it. The old lady says" poor little thing " talking about her daughter "the experience of her divorce left her traumatized she has diabetes now" the other lady says to her " poor thing is she taking any medication?" the old lady replies "Janumet" Adam heard the name of the medication and had a flashback Janu or janus is the god of time and duality and beginnings. Met in Arabic means dead or in the amino acid wheel Methionine or the start codon. Adam thought to himself " the medication kills janus from her head which means she can't start a new beginning but she doesn't have to remember her traumas" and as Adam is thinking of all that he falls asleep suddenly and he misses his stop. The driver shouts "next stop the undercity" but Adam was asleep and didn't hear that, maybe he was too tired from not getting enough sleep from the nightmare or maybe janus was rewarding him for remembering. Adam woke up and found himself in a place he has never seen before, everything was so different he is now in the other side of town the side everyone runs away from, Adam crossed the poverty red line and is now among the people he never sees. Adam found himself a lone in the bus he runs to the driver saying: I missed my stop we must turn back" The driver shrugs and says" Next stop undercity... we are near" and so the bus stops and the door opens. Adam has no other option but to go down, and down he went. Adam decided to wait near the bus stop for the next bus to come around and take him back to his university, but there were two guys both had bad tattoos on there arms and neck, looking at him, both of them looked extremely sickly and thin the first one said " I think we caught a fish" the other guy takes out a knife from his pocket and started walking towards Adam, Adam quickly saw what was happening he panicked and didn't know what to do, one of the guys said, " He will be delicious" Adam realized it was one of his cannibal realities and ran right through the two guys knocking one over and started running as fast as he can, the two guys too sickly to run after him left him. But Adam is now lost, he finds himself amidst all the mutations he has ever conjured, all the sick and diseased, all the mentally ill and the people who couldn't handle the harsh realities. He started to remember everything and the memories came like daggers to his heart, all the tea in the world wouldn't make this go away. He saw poverty real poverty of people eating rats and dogs, he saw people yelling at their children and abusing them, he saw robberies and action films of people running and others chasing after them happening in front of his eyes. He saw one of the tourists abusing a girl and another tourist killing a guy in cold blood. Here in the undercity all of those tau proteins and bad memories builded up to create an environment so uninhabitable and yet many people live in. Adam walks in the streets and finds a man yelling "too much sugar" too much sugar" Adam tries to avoid him because it seems that he has lice and ticks because he kept scratching himself, but the man kept moving closer and closer to Adam until he touched him and held his arm saying to him "help us" Adam moves his arm away from the man and says "how can I help you" the man is unstable it is as if with every tick bite he changes the topic of the conversation he tells Adam " They are coming for the oil" Adam said "what oil ?" The man gets bitten and changes the topic "We live in a battery, life has a duality to it a plus and minus sign and what is above so is below" The man stopped making any sense but Adam was intrigued, so he asked him again " how can I help you " the man answers " you must remember, if you remember all the misery and the pain goes away" Adam thinks for a moment "remember what?" The man says "they don't know" "what dont they know" said Adam. "they don't know that all of this misery that we have endured in the undercity they will live with every drop of oil they burn but don't you see, they are using you to make us live in chaos so they can throw us away from our homes. Or at least what we can call home "he points at the tent he has in the back ally." Adam didn't really understand he asks "what oil" the man exclaimed"The oil, our misery they want to extract it and burn it so it becomes the misery and cancer of the world" and it is as if a tick has bitten him and the man changes the subject, he starts to say "We live in a battery" We live in a nuclear reactor" and goes away to his tent. Adam makes sure that he didn't get any ticks on him and walks away, he finally reached a bus stop by accident and an old lady was waiting there for the bus. The bus arrived the old lady says "the bus came on time this is a first" and she and Adam enter the bus and Adam goes back home.

Traumatized by what he saw in the undercity Adam prays to understand the meaning of his journey and what has happened, even though he feels better than he ever did and his memories are starting to comeback yet he finds himself in hell confronting all his demons and all the bad memories he had ever had. Adam still refused to eat, something inside of him is purging all the toxicity in his system, and so Adam slept hungry and woke up the next day and had this immediate idea to go to the abandoned school next to his house but Adam waited he doesn't know why he waited, but he did until it was 7pm, and down he went again, this time when he arrived the school was still abandoned and there was no one there, Adam enters the school, in the hallway he started to hear some noises of someone cleaning. He enters one of the abandoned classrooms and finds a janitor working. Adam says hello, the janitor didn't greet him but instead told him to sit down on one of the dusty chairs. The janitor started talking "you get 9 questions, its 7:15 we are already late" Adam is a bit confused but he plays along, he starts off by asking " Where am I ?" Adam started to remember the realities but still has no idea where he is. The janitor replies "Well you are in an abandoned school next to your house, really you are in a world with many realities, all realities affect each other you are now in anti the reality of as the name implies is the anti reality. This is considered two questions for I knew what you where implying be more specific later on" Adam thinks for a second and asks "how did I get here and why do I feel like im in hell" The janitor replies"I told you to be more specific those will be considered 4 questions, however we will start with what actually is anti and see how you got there.
