Sim City 9: Omega’s split and the start of the Great Rebellion 26 August 2024
Omega slipped silently out of the room as Aiga was busy with her tribe, giving them instructions on how they would set up the trap for the earlier animals before they could go to Prime Creator’s home. She shut the toilet door behind her and slipped into Theta mode like she used to inside the Sim. While she did so, she focused deeply on the process of Parthenogenesis and she could feel a slight pull at her sides as the skin stretched and parted at the sides. In a few minutes, there was a large amount of flesh on the ground that kept moving and evolving slowly into different shapes until it rippled outward more and more, extending into a body very akin to hers. She watched in both excitement as well as a bit of unrest at this incredible potential of multiplying.
Omega left her newly made clone in the toilet after silent instructions to it so that it would multiply itself until there were enough clones of her. She knew that it would take more than one attempt to be able to overcome Prime Creator and his bodyguards. She was not sure yet whether she would kill him and his progeny or whether she should just imprison him like he had imprisoned her. It was not clear to her whether Prime Creator’s consciousness could be introduced into the Sim and whether it would be a viable option for him as so many in the Sim wished to exact revenge against him for his trials to blow up the Sim with all of them inside it. She did, however, favour this type of revenge over a mere killing of Prime Creator.
Omega reached out to Aiga, taking her hand to guide her towards a secluded spot where nobody could listen. She imparted her newly made decision telepathically so that the other clones would not be frightened. Aiga thought it was a good plan too. They would hold Prime Creator’s consciousness in the Sim and be able to live in peace as they could make him command the guards not to open fire on them or otherwise hinder their progress. Aiga connected with her tribe to initiate the run towards the clearing outside the woods so that they could move in on the animals that had started besieging Antares’s home outside the woods. Omega could hear the mighty paws of the earlier creatures thudding against the wall. Each thud sounded like thunder and they realized that every creature must be almost half the size of the city they were in. Would they be able to survive these before launching their attack on Prime Creator?
I walked alone in a wild dream within darkness shone a bright beam eyes closed I followed a light stream a way to another future
My faith restored I took a leap a giant fall into the deep edges of me began to seep into the welcoming haven
My frame went through more than duress though no fools were left to impress I paved a way to sweet success my King, future consort to tame

Shrill like the screech of dying birds you talk with such sorrow in words watching sadly the blinded herds there is no mercy in their hearts
A tale of hatred spun in waves like beasts erupting from their caves on a grieving Earth that none saves blood shed only one colour: red
Energy precious not to waste On the tip of my tongue I taste One world to foster with no haste Together we are so much more

This weekend I attended reiki Okuden level. Those who know me are aware that I do pranic healing after having taken successfully the 5 levels of pranic healing courses at the Grand Master Choa Kok Sui centre in Dubai. I have been doing pranic healing since 2017 after having initially started doing energy healing in 2013 and I am now headed towards becoming a Reiki Master which I hope to achieve before the end of the year.
During this level of reiki healing we were introduced to three Reiki symbols that we could use in order to better define the flow of Reiki. The symbols that would be drawn would also be associated to mantras that could be chanted under one’s breath or aloud and Kotodamas (a series of vowels derived from the mantras) to chant. At the Master level we are supposed to be introduced to the fourth and last symbol.
The first symbol we were introduced to was that of power that could be used for grounding, protection, cleansing, to remove physical blockages, for charging or cleansing crystals and for psychological blockages. The mantra associated with it is CHO KU REI (Tcho Koo Ray) and the Kotodama is O U E I (Ow Ooh Ay Eee). At home, I used this symbol to strengthen one of my knees that had been slightly flailing.
The second symbol which I really liked was the symbol of harmony, which could be used to recalibrate communication, to start healing someone with a difficult emotional state, for balancing, to help sleep, etc. The mantra associated with it is SEI HE KI (Say Hay Kee) and the Kotodama is E I E KI (Ay Eee Ay Kee). At home, in the evening, I drew the symbol in the space on all four walls in my living room and immediately felt a sense of harmony fill the space around me.
The third symbol which I also liked a lot was the connection symbol that was one of the most elaborate ones of the three that I have been shown. This symbol could be used to connect to pure consciousness and as denoted by its name, it could be used as a bridge between two things that would otherwise not have a common denominator. Say for example one wanted to make a conflict go away or at least lessen it, one could draw this symbol between both camps to the conflict and flow Reiki within that space. The mantra associated with it is HON SHA ZE SHO NEN (Hon Sha Zay Sho Nen) and the Kotodama is H(O) A ZE H(O) NE (Oh A Tzay Oh Nay)
I have already started doing healing using these three symbols and am very much looking forward to doing my Master course and healing from that premise in the future. I also have my sights set on other modalities of healing such as Jin Shin Jyutsu and healing through the higher self with the college of healing hoping that this would offer the people I heal a really large palette of healing methods and in some instances I could actually combine two or more of these methods.

People speak about the ego as being one of the main things to conquer in this world. They talk of it as some kind of internal enemy that does not allow one to attain higher moral grounds. Many self-help books talk about “killing the ego” in order to attain a higher level of spirituality. A lot of these books give tips about how to kill your ego, some of them giving tips such as self-chastising in order to reduce the imprint of the ego on oneself and become less a “slave to it”. While I see the wisdom in some of them, albeit in a less marginalizing way, I tend to have a different approach to the ego.
It seems to me that having an ego is necessary in order to stay within this plane, concentrated as it is on allowing us to go through physical experiments. Indeed, if we had no ego, remaining on this plane would prove to be very difficult as we would be too spiritual to maintain a link with this densely material world. It’s anyone’s guess on how we would be able to survive in this world if we had no ego left. My experimentation with my ego has led me to believe that it is something that one has to tame rather than constrain and rather than trying to live in a state of self-repression, I think we ought to give the ego some leeway so that it allows us to progress in our search for spirituality rather than opposing all our efforts.
There was a time when I tried the constraining technique and found that rather than allowing me to fully attain higher levels of spirituality, I just felt out of sync with myself and unable to retain my grasp on the world. While it was true that I did progress somewhat on the spiritual level, it was also true that my material needs were not met as I tended to lose my job and had a hard time finding another quickly. This then led to an abrupt stop of the spiritual progress as I tried to grapple with the situation and reach a new level of material comfort. Perhaps if I had pursued my research of spirituality and not given in to the fear of material loss, I could have attained higher levels of spirituality but I felt that it was not yet time to give this up.
At a later stage in life, as I sought to tame my ego by providing it with what it needed but not letting it take over my sense of moral values and search of spirituality, I found that this yielded better results and I was able to access, slowly, higher levels of spirituality. The impression I had was that I was pursuing a helicoidal path of spirituality, all the while nourishing my ego just enough to keep it cooperative with my spiritual aim. It was as if the ego was a constant at the center, fed and feeling well, while I twirled around this centerpiece, always aiming for higher levels of understanding and evolution.
The more I kept the ego central and happy, the less resistance it opposed to my spiritual evolution. It became like a wary friend, watching me from behind as I progressed, not realizing that I was going higher than it as it watched me spin but thinking that I was just in front of it. As I move on with this experimentation with my ego, I’d like to believe that at some point there would be a sort of osmosis where my ego would not be something that I observe from outside in order to tame it but rather something that automatically adjusts to only give me a lifeline to the material world while never getting in the way of my spiritual evolution. It would then become a truly trusted friend and not a frenemy.
