“Worship power, you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart, you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. But the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that they’re evil or sinful, it’s that they’re unconscious. They are default settings…

The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day.

That is real freedom. That is being educated, and understanding how to think. The alternative is unconsciousness, the default setting, the rat race, the constant gnawing sense of having had, and lost, some infinite thing.”

Chrono-Synclastic Infundibulum was a strange dimension where everything became one and everything and one was right. Those who passed through it became Chrono-Synclastic Ifundibulated, and had strange side-effects. They could see in all three normal dimesions, but also in time. They were able to see the past present and future all together. Those who were caught in it or “unstuck in time” would appear at different places for certain amounts of time. A prime example of a victim was William Niles Rumfoord, who would appear on Earth every 59 days for one hour. He also would appear on Mars, Mercury, Beatlegeuse, and Titan. He was able to see what was happening in different places at all times, but was not able to know everything. The sensation has been described as “being everywhere at once”.
