Street Survey #37
Based on a true story ... not mine, somebody else's. A bright German woman called Maggie's story - whom i met randomly, non-sexually at a Nimbin campground in 2018.
Street-survey #37
Excuse me sir … excuse me, my name’s Dulan Drift, i’m doing a survey on-
Fuck off dickhead
(crestfallen) Oohrrr … (re-energized) Ah, excuse me madam how are you today?
(suspicious) Uhm …, good. You?
I’m great, thanks! My name is Dulan Drift! If I could just get a minute of your time, I’m conducting a quick survey on-
Uhmmm, not really, Dulan. I’m busy ... I’m …
(look sad) Ohr, ok … i understand. Thanks anyway for stopping
(taking pity, sighing) What’s it about?
(energized) It’s about Revelations … !
Revelations? What, like The Book of…? Sorry, i-
No, no, it’s not like that - it’s not religious - just normal revelations. If you’ve not had one, sorry for wasting your time - just a few quick questions. Mainly one
I see … so what was the question?
Sorry Madam, can i get a first name for my records - feel free to make one up
Ok, it’s Maggie
Thanks Maggie. Respondents report that from a … (leaf thru notes) lost state there came this revelation - changed-my-life is a common testament
Did- Can you remember how exactly you got from ahr … a mess of details - to the ah Revelation bit? Was it a process? Did-
Hmm. Ok, it happened … I don’t know … something happened that was already happening. I saw something that was already there. Is that an option … ?
Fuck yeah!
In my instance, it was … LSD assisted … i must admit. Perhaps that’s not permitted in your survey?
Everything’s permitted in this survey Maggie! It’s the unveiling i’m researching. The mental-logistics of getting from A to B - the revelation station
Ooh-kay, but i didn’t travel between them - more like i bi-associated A&B - in a situation that was ripe for their combination. Kinda hacked it incidentally
I see. So … it was a sudden transition?
Not really - coz it comes with built-in familiarity. It’s not an arrow-of-time thing - it’s an inkling inkled - you’re at the finish line before the race begins
Cool. So what was your revelation exactly, if you don’t mind me delving? I know i said one question …
Well … the central point was simple: The Universe is a pattern - a generated concept of its audience
I’m a tiny speck in that - but still share in the overall collective - everything’s connected
Oh, that’s nice. But it could be said that’s like: everybody knows
Sure. That’s the point. Everybody does know. But we’re taught to ignore significance - even when it’s staring us in the face. Guess that’s why it’s taught
Nice observation!
A revelation is an unforgetting as much as anything
Ohr. So was there any psychological benefit in all of this?
Well, once you’re in, swimming in that pre-existence solution, it’s like pick-a-problem - the societal dross flakes retrospectively off. A shape, ripples through you into place
Whoa
The ride, the vibe, from there, is yeah … open sesame
Right on Maggie! That’s really helpful. Thanks for your participation!
Your welcome Dulan - have a nice day!
