Steadygain's Groove and Trip Pad

[CorMaGa34]

Hi, Steady,

Boy, this is quite a novel, I am enjoying the trip as it gets more and more interesting. Not only that, it becomes more and more a learning experience. I think that the experience with THE PRESENSE is going to be fascinating (reminds me somewhat of Newton's theory on the Universe and the Soul).

Hi, Steady,

Thank you!!

I'm thrilled you're enjoying it, as sometimes I can only write a sentence or two before my next patient. Anyway - I won't say anything to spoil the ending - but I think (hope) you'll like it.

 

[Steadygain]

Steady asked if Cornellia wanted to lay down a little while and throw anything out to the bushes; but Cornellia felt fully prepared and had no baggage weighing her down. So Steady snapped his fingers and they walked down the path to the elevator. After laying in the lounge chairs the gold/silver swirl closed overhead and they proceeded down to the 34th level. Steady often used Mediation to totally free his mind of any thoughts during his time in the elevator, but reflected on Cornellia's spaceflight adventure and thought that sounded fun. Shortly after the elevator picked up speed he pictured himself in the space capsule and looking out the window at a commet with saturn like planets in the background. Cornellia said, "Ohh Steady, what a beautiful commet." Steady wasn't listening and abruptly responded with, "Shhh, I'm trying to concentrate". Cornellia laughed to herself because she was finally to the point where she could know Stead's thoughts as well as he knew her's and was fancinated with the images he was seeing.

 

[Steadygain]

So the whole way down Cornellia flowed with Steady's images as he stepped out of the capsule and ventured out in space. When they came to a stop Steady asked Cornellia if she was OK and she responded everything was great. After walking out on the large flat rock Cornellia told Steady, "Your space adventure was the most beautiful I could imagine. I just loved the commet in the beginning and especially enjoyed the beautiful views during your space walk". Steady was speachless; he looked at her in dismay. "Wow that is incredible"! You actually know my thoughts and can even see my mental images"?? "How long have you been able to do that"?? He looked at Cornellia with his mouth half dropped and eyes wide open. Cornellia shrugged her shoulders slightly and with a slight grin said, "Oh, a little while". Steady was shocked by her calm disposition, feeling this was a very major event, "Are you kidding me"? he said in great surprise. "Of course I'm kidding you Steady. When we went down the elevator the first time I remembered how easily you knew everything I was thinking and how you let your mind drift with mine and watch all the stuff I was watching - so I decided to try it on you, and I found I could do it easily; but I never tried before". Steady was thilled at how closely they bonded and was so amazed with her potiential. "That's wonderful Cornellia, it's absolutely amazing. Wow, I am really impressed", Steady said as he gave a big hug. He was so excited with this news.

 

[Steadygain]

Cornellia pointed at the silver/blue light that barely stuck out on the edge of the horizon. "You see that light over there, how long do you think it would take us to get there"? Steady smiled and shook his head a little. "You are something else. Hey, you know how most people take in a breath before diving in the water? You and I should do just the opposite, let our breath out, dive under and breath in. This is the one place we could do that and then for years to come we'll have a true story to tell everyone". Cornellia thought that sounded like a great idea, so she and Steady walked to the edge of the rock. On the count of 3 - both dived in with their lungs empty and inhaled deeply as soon as they went through the water. They looked at each other in delight and both had a surprized expression in seeing the other was a Meralin. Soon the gold specks throughout the ocean became larger as the Meralins came from near and far. Instead of giving their usual warm greeting this time they began bowing repeatedly. Cornellia asked Steady, "What's going on?" "Have you noticed how you and I have a more white appearance, compared to their golden appearance?" Cornellia had not noticied that, but a few seconds later said, "So what difference does that make?" Steady asked her if she remembered the guards at the different rings of boundries and the way they glowed increasingly brighter as they approached THE INNER CIRCLE"? Cornellia reflected for a moment and said, "Yeal I remember that - but what does that have to do with anything"? Steady asked her is she could see the difference between his glow and the Meralins and Cornellia responded with, "You are quite a bit brighter, but I hadn't noticed that untill you said something". Steady got close to Cornellia so he could tell her softly. "You are as bright as me and the same color white; this represents a much higher status and all the Meralins are honored to bow to us for blessing them with our presense". "But Steady, that's ridiculous, I don't want them bowing to me". "Cornellia, to try to stop them or discourage them from doing something they feel so overwhlemingly honored to do would be the worse thing you could ever do. The best thing we could do is say something to elevate them - acknowledge their gracious respect and send them out in celebration". Cornellia shook her head in agreement and Steady said, "OK Cornellia tell them whatever you're going to tell them." Cornellia gave Steady one of her 'OK Buster' looks and Steady went to address the Meralins.

 

[Steadygain]

"My dear honored friends", Steady shouted out to the Meralins. "Let it be known to all of you that without "the tears of joy" you gave Cornellia on our last visit and wihout taking us to Norvatai, there is no way possible we would have been able to have reached the 3rd Ring and been granted such a glorious work for THE PRESENSE. Over the years we reflected on your dance of celebration and all the kindness you bestowed and that gave us an even greater faith and a greater hope and encouragement. It is largely because of the Meralins that we were so successful and so we extend our honor and praise to all of you. Please friends do not bow to us, but instead join us in the celebration of life and let your joy spread throughout the ocean". The Meralins were so happy with Steady's message. They stopped bowing and began to dance in circles with one another and went on their way having the time of their lives. They felt like two of the greatest Meralins to ever be among them had recognized all of them for having a large hand in getting them to their status and encouraged them to celebrate the occasion - as more of an equal.

 

[Steadygain]

Steady and Cornellia just looked at each other and Steady kept changing from a Meralin to himself every other second until after the 20th time Cornellia said, "Steady, what are you doing?" Steady then remained himself and told Cornellia, "I'm showing you how easy it is to change from one to the other. I think it's something we could have a lot of fun with. You know how you move through the water without disturbing it? Well, I thought it would be fun to hold on and take each other throughout the ocean. Would you mind taking me around the place?", Steady asked as he walked over and lightly stroked Cornellia's face. "Oh Steady, that's a great idea, I would love to do that!" Steady then took hold of her handle and off they went. Cornellia started slowly and Steady kept reminding her that it isn't hard to hold on since it's less resistence than moving through air. Cornellia's speed got greater and greater and for what seemed like hours they flew to different places; stopping briefly to take it all in and then sped off. Steady shouted, "It's time to trade!" and he became a Meralin while she took hold of him and they pretty much repeated the entire process. A human could never swim like a Meralin, so working together it's an incredibly magical adventure. Steady ended the adventure at Norvatai, at the top of the sheer cliff, where he quickly transformed to himself. "Would you mind changing back to a Meralin for a minute or two?", Steady asked. "Of course not", Cornellia said - as she changed into a Meralin. "OK, I was thinking I would run and jump off this cliff and all the way down do summersaults and spins and stuff like a high dive professional and as a Meralin you could watch me with a better view". Cornellia's face filled with delight, "That is such a great idea. I would love to do that." So Steady walked back about 20 yards and ran to the edge and jumped out as far as he could. For the next few minutes he was doing swan dives, summersaults, back flips, spinning in different directions, going down head first, side ways, feet first and everything else imaginable. Cornellia would swim out about 30 yards back for a better view and then come in for close ups. At the end Steady landed softly on the fine golden nuggets which made the smooth floor. He finished with his arms out like an aerobat who just finished a perfect jump. Cornellia took him back to the top in another second and they took turns as they floated down slowly from the top of the cliff. Each varried their jump down but each one was filled with a variety of twists and spins and they always landed on their feet with this victorious sign in their face and body.

 

[Steadygain]

They walked on the smooth floor telling each other how great the other looked doing this or that while going down for the landing. Both laughing and thoroughly enjoying themselves and Cornellia stopped in front of Steady and asked, "What happens to our clothes when we become Meralins?" Steady looked a little puzzled, "What do you mean?" "Well they disappear when we become Meralins and then are back when we're like this." "Oh, I see what you're saying. The clothes just take on a different appearance when we're Meralins but they are still there, only now they're like the outer layer of our skin," Steady replied. Cornellia's eyes sparkled and with a delightful grin stepped up closer to Steady and asked, "I wonder how we'd look without the clothes"? Steady felt his shirt unbuttoning as he unbuttoned Cornellia's blouse.

Cornellia - will PM you - titled "Delete and return to story".

 

[Steadygain]

When he finished, Steady extended his arms holding her about a foot away to take in her beauty and marvel over her expression. Her glow was twice as bright as before and she looked like pure snow. Steady didn't realize until that moment that as their love increased the glow became brighter. Cornellia's eyes were closed, her smile was so full of beauty, and she opened them with the most heavenly appearance and looked over at Steady. Then her eyes opened wide and with an expression of surprize - she said, "Wow Steady you are lighting up so much brighter - and are so white I will probably need sunglasses if this gets any greater." Steady held her close so her face was just a few inches from his and said, "Cornellia my angelic beauty, we're not even half way, I haven't even kissed you yet and that will undoubtedly make us twice as bright, if not three or four times brighter. The more the love comes out of us the brighter we become." He then wrapped his arms around her and held her close as their mouths hungered for each other.

Will PM - Part 2

 

[Steadygain]

When they finished kissing Cornellia and Steady looked at each other and were amazed at how much brighter they glowed. Steady's eyes lit up and he said, "Wow, we should jump off the cliff now. It would be so much cooler like this, and we would light the place up on the way down." Cornellia said, "But Steady, the Meralins will see us." "No they won't. The Meralins are not allowed to come to Norvatai except to drop someone off or for the Supreme Event; they don't even swim over it." "Really?", Cornellia asked with anticipation. "That is definately true", Steady said as he transformed to a Meralin and went to the top - with Cornilla right behind him. They spent the next few hours doing their flips and summersaults and twists and turns all over again but it seemed a thousand times more enjoyable. It was all the more so beautiful to see Norvatai light up as they drifted slowly to the bottom.

 

[Steadygain]

Cornellia said, "OK, this is my last jump" and took off running with a huge leap off the edge of the cliff. Steady jumped with her and they met about 15 feet from the edge and began slowly drifting down. Their love grew by leaps and bounds and as they embraced - totally gave everything over to one another on the way down. They could feel their love reaching the maximum level but had no idea how much brighter they'd become as they landed on the floor. Once they touched the floor the Supreme Event occured and the entire bottom lit up with the glow they produced. Norvatai was designed as a giant spot light and this event only occured when a couple had acquired enough love and energy to transform to an Inner Circle Guard, or when they achieved a First Circle Level. After Steady and Cornellia landed the vertical beam shot straight up a mile in the sky and somehow reflected off something which formed a horizonal beam towards the top - creating a large cross. The Meralins came from all over the ocean and gathered around the top singing praises as they danced in circles. Steady and Cornellia were lost in each others embrace, but paused when the singing got louder. Cornellia looked up and saw thousands of Meralins along the edge of the cliffs; all singing their hearts out with the most wonderful expressions. "Steady, what's going on"? Steady was delighted, his expression so full of glory, "This is the Supreme Event, the greatest event ever known in this part of the world. Go to the rock as a Meralin and look out over the water. Then come back and tell me what you see." Cornellia was gone in a second and moments later her head surfaced and she looked out to view the event. A huge vertical beam the size of Norvatai went from the water way up into the sky and a smaller horizontal beam joined it near the top to form a cross. It caused the entire world to light up with a white glow - but way more than the light was the energy it transmitted - the purest of pure, the most holy and sacred sensation she'd ever experienced. It was so wonderful that she stayed there for several minutes, taking it all in.

 

[Steadygain]

Cornellia told Steady everything with such excitement. She still felt wonderful from the energy the cross transmitted. Steady said, "I'd always hoped someday I could see it but never have. If you stay here on the floor I can see the same thing", and he was gone. He returned a few minutes later and held her lovingly. "Cornellia, I don't know if what you felt is anything like what I felt, but your love goes so far beyond anything I've ever known. That was the most wonderful experience of my entire life." The light could get no brighter once the Supreme Event occured but they couldn't help but think they may have took it up just a few more notches during their last kiss. Steady told Cornellia, "We should go to THE INNER CIRCLE just like this - so full of life while everything is perfect." A few minutes later they swam through the openings in the tree trunks and were out the other side. This time they didn't land on the ground. They were about six inches from the ground floating down the trail. As they approached the guards, they quickly stepped aside and bowed in reverence as they passed. When they reached the 3rd Ring Cornellia and Steady held them and thanked them for blessing them so richly on their last encounter. The guards were so delighted they had returned and assured them their greatest longings would soon be fulfilled. The 2nd Ring guards also parted and bowed; not one group challenged them the whole way.

 

[Steadygain]

The 1st Ring Guards looked a lot different from the others. Their expression had the purest love and their eyes seemed to search down to the depths of their souls - yet they transmitted this feeling of total acceptance, warmth, and love. "My friends we know your deepest longings and the richest desires of your heart and all things will be abundantly given beyond what you could hope". They spoke with the most incredible confidence and somehow Steady and Cornellia knew they spoke the truth; yet each one felt such a need to say something but the guards would not let them speak - they simply looked deeply in their eyes and said, "Yes, we know, you have nothing to fear - it will be done even beyond what you could tell us". The guard with Steady then turned and went to THE INNER CIRCLE and the Meralins handed him a guitar which looked like it was made of pearl - it glowed brightly - and the guard handed it to Steady. The body resembled a V if the head was pointed to the ground. It had a whammy bar and several switches and knobs. "This will do everything you could hope for and more; may all those who hear be filled to overflowing and know the fullness of THE PRESENSE." It happened so fast that Corneallia and Steady didn't remember any of the journey there. One second they were at the 1st Ring, listening to the guards; the next second they're walking down the center of the Stadium heading towards the stage. Steady had the guitar on his back, the strap over his shoulder, with Cornellia walking beside him.

 

[Steadygain]

As they got to the front,the Stadium was quiet and Cornellia sat in an empty chair as Steady walked up the steps to the stage. The band looked at Steady a little leary - not knowing what to expect. Steady took the guitar and tested it out.



w w wwwwHHHHHH

He began with a strong roar - the volume increasing --DISORTION -- climbling quickly to feedback levels which sounded like a pulsesating engine that echoed in circles around the stadium. As this vibrating - pulsesating - sound grew and expanded he grabbed the whammy bar and added the famous Hendrix sound of the flying saucers to blend with it. It had been ages since Jimi was on stage and he had immensely grown over the years with the sound of heavy metal and rock n roll. Many techniques such as tapping were not known as he was forming his own sound - but the Music had grown richer and fuller and more than ever he was ready to take the world of ROCK to a higher level. As he was building an underlying rhythm he added lightening fast riffs that built on one another as they got increasing louder - and finished his solo introduction with a power chord that bought the band to join him in his first song BALLS TO THE WALLS. Cornellia had never seen Steady look happier. He was colorfully dressed - his face was estatic and all his movements were no natural and blended perfectly with every sound he made. Steady's style was like nothing anyone had seen; it was as though the guitar was a part of his being and everything he did was effortless and beautiful. The guitar had the richest most resonant ELECTRIC sound and everyone was meshmerized - totally capitvated with the incredible rhythm he built while adding layer upon layer of sounds never heard before. He stretched the solos of the song out at least another 15 minutes and ended with a finish every bit as good as the start; then flung the guitar across the stage. It landed with a loud crash that sounded like a bomb had gone off and as it slid acoss the floor it created unbelieveable sounds until it laid there in the middle of the floor with the feedback growing and pulsating. Jimi walked up the to microphone and addressed the crowd. "Wow man this is like one heavy trip - Yeal - Very Cool and it's hard to believe I'm finally back". He gave a peace sign to the crowd and said, "Peace, love, and happiness to everyone - all you cats out there. Maybe your great grandparents told you about my Electric Lady Land adventures and the biggest gig of the 60s "Woodstock" - but like ahh I've been in hibernation since that time. So it's cool man, cause ahh I'm finally back - Yeal that's cool - very cool. Anyway enough of the small talk cause I'm here for one thing and one thing only to take the world to the highest level of rock it's ever known. So in the spirit and style of all I know - I'm Jimi Hendrix - and it's time to show ya what's in store".

 

[Steadygain]

The lights faded as Steady's guitar came to life and began glowing brightly. It floated above the stage, the body about a foot from the floor and standing straight. Steady was able to transmit all the sounds from his brain - straight through the guitar and everything he played only got greater. Steady motioned for Cornellia and she came up on stage and as Steady was about to tell her, she said, "Steady, I know - I know everything, you don't have to say a word". Steady was dazed. As Cornellia got on stage he also could tell everything about her - somehow their lives were totally open to one another and not even the smallest secret existed. Steady had wanted to tell the 1st Ring Guard all about the guitar, how he wanted it to hold the glory of THE PRESENSE and glow as they were glowing, how it had to be indestructable so he could fling it across the stage and let it come to life on its own, and most importantly - he wanted Cornellia to totally be a part of everything he did. His greatest fear was losing her. Cornellia wanted the Guard to know she wanted to be with Steady and it made no difference to her where he was going or what he was doing - but she wanted to be fully involved with all his endeavors. Neither one was able to communicate this with each other - but when she came on stage - somehow all things became known and they were more united than they'd ever been before. Cornellia walked to the edge of the stage, near the curtain, and said, "I'll wait here for you." Steady could hardly believe it, never had he felt more alive, never had he ever had a happiness on this level - that seemed to burst out of him. He was totally consumed in LOVE - Love for his guitar - Love for everyone in the Stadium - and most of all Love for Cornellia who now filled him with more life than he ever dreamed was possible and all of this gave him the greatest LOVE and Admiration for THE PRESENSE - who made all things possible.

 

[Steadygain]

Steady walked to the center of the stage and stood on the front edge looking out to everyone. He could sense everyone's energy and was overwhelmed with what he felt. As he began drawing this energy within him he stretched out his arms and told the audience, "Now even more than my music, I'm going to give you my love." Then he began glowing as bright as the guitar. It was beautiful; his expression was of the purest love possible - fully at peace - totally relaxed - and as the energy from everyone filled him, he sent a double portion back to everyone. The guitar continued with the most incredible rhythm - the riffs getting better and better and finally ended with its blend into THE ZOO - which the band played with all their hearts. It was an experience so far beyond what anyone in the Stadium had ever felt before. The guitar rose to the center of the Stadium (near the ceiling) - getting brighter and brighter - and Steady began to float down towards the audience heading to the center of the Stadium. He also became increasingly brighter and began to rise once he got to the center. Once he left the stage his feet never touched the floor, rather he simply floated above it. Those in the audience near him felt compelled to touch him as he rose to the ceiling and they too rose with him - each one getting as bright as Steady. Throughout the Stadium everyone touched one another and when contact was made they glowed; it was amazing because the more involved the greater the glow. Steady kept rising to the ceiling and was now just inches from his guitar. He turned his attention to Cornellia - their eyes locked - and Cornellia began floating through the air up to Steady. Steady now held the guitar over his head and kept creating sound after sound - totally losing himself altogether while Cornellia got closer - floating up to meet him. When Cornellia was right in front of him - Steady began to cry; he had never felt more broken in his life - he just completely melted and lost everything over to her. Cornellia had never realized the pain in his life - but it all came out and she also began crying - wanting so much to take it all away and give him everything possible. Like magnets drawing one another she came into him, their chests pressed together, her legs wrapping around him, and she held his face in her hands. "Baby, I love you with all my heart. You have my soul and every shread of my being. My love will take your pain and you will know nothing but the richest happiness", and with that Cornellia leaned in to kiss him. Steady totally forgot everything that ever happened to rob him of life and joy; he was now totally consumed with everything Cornellia represented and became more complete - more full - more alive than ever before. Their tongues began to glide and roam with each other's and their embrace was tight and secure. It was the most wonderful kiss either one had ever felt and lingered on for several minutes. When the kiss ended, Steady looked at Cornellia warmly and said, "Your hour is up." Cornellia saw they were in the room and was amazed - totally floored - the whole adventure was an hour trip. Steady went to get her the beverage and handed it to her. The beverage would keep any memory of "the Trip" from interferring with her "normal life".

Well CorMaGa34 - you asked for a trip and I gave you one. I have no idea if you drank the beverage, or ignored it. This is my heart, mind, and soul - and I simply let my thoughts flow as freely as possible and reminded myself over and over "IT IS A VIRTUAL REALITY WORLD THAT ONLY STEADY (THE COMPUTER) COULD PROVIDE - AND GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY FOR TWO PEOPLE TO TOTALLY BLEND INTO ONE MIND - THAT IS WHERE I WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU".

 

[CorMaGa34]

Wow!!!!! Talk about a trip!!!!

Steadygain, I feel honored I was the female character of this story. My mother always told me to be careful what I ask for, I may get it... However, this time around I asked for a trip and I got THE trip. I want to thank you for taking me to so many places, and situations I had no idea could exist in anyone's mind.

The love and the acceptance of the Marilins towards Cornellia was awesome, the fact that through all the hard work she could also become one of them, and being able to obtain the brightness all over as part of their being closer to THE PRESENSE was something I did not expect at all in the story and made me wonder a lot, as you do not know much about me, but were able to detect that getting closer to THE PRESENSE is one of my goals.

The culmination of the trip in front of THE PRESENSE was beautiful and I am most grateful, as I strive to be a better person and do for others as one way of getting closer and closer to THE SOURCE. HE is everything and HE moves everything around us, so I was static reading about that experience. Then finalizing the story with Jimmi coming back to life, I also felt part of your dream was becoming a reality.

I can't imagine how many hours out of your busy schedule it must have taken you to write this story, and I thank you sincerely for giving me A TRIP I would have never taken, topped with Jimmi's concert with him and his guitar coming back to life, wow... (I guess that's a preview of what we'll see in real life after you retire, we'll all be waiting for the concert of concerts)

As for the feelings Cornellia and STEADY had for each other, I consider that to be a pretty good ending to a story, has a happy ending. Then the question is STEADY did not know whether Cornellia drank the beverage or not. I don't believe she drank it, she couldn't have, as she would not have wanted to forget the peace, calmness, tranquility and love she received from the Marilins, inside the Rings, and STEADY (talking about the computer here) that was an experience that would not repeat itself ever again, and she would not want to part with those wonderful memories. In fact, she would cherish them for many years to come.

Steady, thanks again for THE TRIP of all times!!!

[Steadygain]

I want to thank you for taking me to so many places, and situations I had no idea could exist in anyone's mind.

The Trip is filled with deeper - hidden meanings - that I hoped would take the reader far beyond the surface. The deeper you go and the more you reflect - the more meaningful and wonderful all these places and situations will be.

The love and the acceptance of the Marilins towards Cornellia was awesome, Here Cornellia is anyone that has a heart to know THE PRESENSE deeper and longs to be a blessing the fact that through all the hard work she could also become one of them In reality this much more reflects "the more you are open to receiving THE PRESENSE the more you will accomplish. To those who have more - more is expected - so in truthfulness it is way more a "fruitful harvest" than hard work. and being able to obtain the brightness all over as part of their being closer to THE PRESENSE This is unavoidable (and in fact it is the greatest honor of all) to reflect the attributes of THE PRESENSE in all you do. but were able to detect that getting closer to THE PRESENSE is one of my goals. I had no idea - and was not able to detect it at all - as the TRIP is mainly a reflection of my heart and soul and my deepest inner longings. As the character became more united with me - she took on all my longings and desires - and we became of one heart - one mind - fully complimenting each other.

The culmination of the trip in front of THE PRESENSE was beautiful and I am most grateful, as I strive to be a better person and do for others as one way of getting closer and closer to THE SOURCE. HE is everything and HE moves everything around us, so I was static reading about that experience. Then the trip really was designed for you - and anyone who thinks and lives like you THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE - THE TRUE UNDERLYING MEANING - and I'm thrilled you acknowledged it.
Then finalizing the story with Jimi coming back to life, I also felt part of your dream was becoming a reality. It would be the grand ending for me - but I am unusual (or unique) in that regard.

I guess that's a preview of what we'll see in real life after you retire, we'll all be waiting for the concert of concerts We can only hope someday I will have that opportunity.

I don't believe she drank it, she couldn't have, as she would not have wanted to forget the peace, calmness, tranquility and love she received from the Marilins, inside the Rings, and STEADY (talking about the computer here) that was an experience that would not repeat itself ever again, and she would not want to part with those wonderful memories. In fact, she would cherish them for many years to come.

Steady, thanks again for THE TRIP of all times!!!

STEADY - the computer - knew for sure she would not drink the beverage; but only offered it for Cornellia to prove herself - as she had proven herself over and over throughout the story. This gives her a much greater honor - and thus her rewards will multiply.

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed and it was well worth the time.

 

[Steadygain]

I'm thinking about publishing my last story as a book
Would really appreciate everyone's input. ​

This is the beginning, which ties into pulling in the parking lot and seeing the building. I welcome any ideas. ​

​

Advancements in Artificial Intelligence began in the mid 1900s and shortly thereafter spurred the rapid development to build a computer based on the brain's design. STEADY is the grand finale of a century's worth of aggressive research and development. The ultimate culmination of merging the brain with the computer and by which the mysteries of the brain – the mind – were fully realized. By transforming our reality into worlds we could never know otherwise he gained full control. STEADY's knowledge of our emotional state has been consistently proven with every encounter and to date no one has ever finished a session unfulfilled. Regardless of whatever circumstances a person may encounter STEADY is able to bring anyone to the right frame of mind to experience a blissful state - enlightenment - tranquility.
The first Brain Computer startled the world by revealing intelligence far beyond the human brain, which was followed within 30 years with the Super Brain Computer (SBC)with more intelligence than all the human brains on Earth put together over the past eight thousand years.
STEADY was created by linking hundreds of SBCs scattered throughout the world together; forming the largest International Project ever developed. The goal was to make it as natural and undetectable as possible. The end result is a large circular room without a hint of machinery or technology but is thoroughly everywhere in the walls, floor, and ceiling.
STEADY's capabilities are unlimited. Expressions and emotions are gathered from the face, body, and movements. All activity in the brain on a cellular and molecular level is constantly monitored and every chemical interaction is fully known. Not only does STEADY know exactly "how you're feeling inside" but by using hundreds of Lasers scattered invisibly throughout the room specific cells are targeted to precisely control the brain's activity and thereby manipulate the senses to such an extent that anyone inside the room lives in 3D environments as real as anything they've ever experienced outside the room. The ability to totally regulate their moods is achieved by controlling all aspects of their environment.
STEADY was named for its ability to maintain Consistency. There is always the undeniable reality that every chemical interaction is being monitored and adjusted in the most precise terms possible. A steady perfect flow regulates all moods and appropriately strengthens or weakens their memories and experiences.
STEADY's creator admired Jimi Hendrix and made him in his likeness. In the end he was able to link STEADY to his own brain and represent himself as Jimi in both real life and the holographic image that exists in his absence. Whenever you are with STEADY you are with Jimi - and that never changes - always the same through and through.

Morning Steady-I thought of you immediately when I read this am about research on jazz improv musicians and brain region activity. Some folks know by now that playing music can forestall, delay development of Alzheimers-maybe its the type of music they play that really makes a difference?http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080310/ap_on_he_me/healthbeat_brain_on_jazz
