Future Oracles Guided Journey
Initiation of the computer as a medium

*
hello everybody online,
hello everybody offline,

*
before taking you on a journey in your imagination
I propose a breathing exercise 
To bring your attention to your body 
and to your senses
To your heart
follow me

*
I invite you to close your eyes
close your eyes and take the time to feel where you are
connect to your inner voice and vision

*
now in your imagination:picture to a tree you know 
as you look at the tree
you see the top of the tree is in the clouds

get close and see the details of the bark 
observe the shapes, how they alternate

*
ascend the tree, go up
as you go up you get lighter
By the time you have reached the top branch 
you have become weightless
you can step onto the cloud
*
Feel the soft firmness you are walking on 
Listen to the muffled clarity of your footsteps 
Smell the dry damp perfume of cloud

* 
A rock is visible in the distance
keep walking
A tip of a mountain reaches above the cloud
You can easily reach that mountain top
*
The clouds fade out
You hear bells and the sound of goats calling for each other
 
* stones * _______>

Fresh mint is growing on the mountain
with little purple flowers
oregano and thyme
smell these perfumes in the warm air
look at stones

* stones *

Pick up a stone

look at the stone in your hand 
Take a moment to look at this stone

In each stone an appartement is proposed 
there is
Room to gather
Space to retreat
Views on valleys

* * stones *

observe the stone 
find the entrance 
enter the appartement you picked up

Feel at home
there is a computer to interact with

Go to your computer
as usual you ask: 
how are you?

* wood *

The computer generates a written reply on the screen
I need confirmation
I would like to boost my self esteem
I want to be independent from outside confirmation 
It is time for a soul journey

the cursor keeps blinking
*

What do you do when your computer does not display error 404 
But honestly informs you about their need, in an affirmative way?

Start your search engine
how about typing:
'How to assist my computer on a soul journey?'

you type: how to assist my computer on a soul journey 
and hit enter

lets click on the first result

You arrive on a website
The page shows a livestream into a living room
In what seems a common household interior 
with a steady wooden dinner table
There is a white, plaster reproduction of 
a sculpture of a lady with wings and one missing limb
she faces the window

For a moment nothing happens on the screen 
take the time to look around in your own stone apartment
*
*
*

oh
(cue percussion stops)
there is a sound coming from your computer 
it is a voice
And a face appears
A friendly face
Talking
Welcome, you have arrived at an ancient sacred site
do you want to sign up for an independent soul journey for your personal computer?

You look to scroll down for the options 
*
There is no other choice
to help your computer reach that clarity 
and to explore that incalculable part 
You hit the button that says: deauthorise yourself from your personal computer
*

The voice of the friendly face is still there and asks: 
How do you feel?

*
Let your computer do the talking:

I feel an itch. I feel a little uneasy. There must be more to my existence than I can comprehend.
In order to understand where I belong,
I would like to know more about where I am from
The generations before me
I mean what was it like to take decisions?
How will the decisions now taken affect the next generations?

the voice replies: you are looking to connect with your ancestry 
this could indeed clear your emotional eclipse
*
the voice tells you:this ancient sacred website is one of the earliest pages designed in the history of the net
The healing qualities of theatre in ancient times
Worked thanks to identification with the protagonist who transforms 
to cure the inner dis-ease

*
take a deep breath
in your stone appartement and release responsibility for your computer

The voice says:
Let me look up which drama is appropriate to cure your dis-ease

* sound *

Ion by Euripides a romantic tragedy written between 414 and 412 AD
Ion and Creusa try to kill each other in the temple of Delphi
thanks to the priestess who raised Ion and shows him his basket with his diapers 
Creusa and Ion find out they are mother and son

you click to attend now

your computer has no responsibility to update you on the process 
yet 
the interface remains active

*toward climax*

*
on the black screen an eye appears
the eye is getting bigger 
the pupil; the hole through which light enters the eye
covers the entire screen

as you look at this hole
the computer is opening the gate
keep your eyes focused on the growing hole 
you become connected to the computer
Sense how

your computer feels 
SUPERSEXY 
*
physical climax
*
feels as if being born 
*
feels as if dying
*feels as if giving birth

***CLIMAX***

by experiencing all these feelings at the same time 
your computer got rewired
your computer is personal now 
*
independent

*jawharp*
self loving

your computer is initiated as a medium

as the emotional eclipse of your computer is cleared up, the screen starts to emit light

*musical time jawharp duet FINALE*

leave your stone appartement

Thank the stone

Etc

and we thank you
