VOICE 1: (V1:)
`Hello? Is anyone there?
Where am I?
VOICE 2: (V2:)
`Why, you are here.'
V1:
`Where is here? I don't sense your presence.'
V2::
` I am here.'
V1::
`But why the darkness? Am I dead?
Is this what death is?'
V2::
`That is up to you.'
V1:
`What do you mean it is up to me? Who are you?'
V2:
`I am who you want me to be.'
V1:
`Enough with the games! I am getting angry'
V2:
`That is good.'
V1:
`Why is that good? I truly am getting angry. I want an explanation of what is going on here and who you are!'
V2:
`But you know this already. I should not have to tell you.'
V1:
`Look, who ever you are I am tired of this already. How do I....'
V2:
`How do you - what?'
V1:
`I don't know. All of a sudden I realized that I am not I - I mean I have just realized that I do not have a body or physical form. That what I am or have become is just my thoughts. I am dead - that's it I have died and gone to heaven! And you - this voice you are God or his messenger come to greet me. Am I right? Is that who you are?'
V2:
`If that suits you, then let it be so. But this is for you to discover.'
V1:
`Well if I am not dead - No, no that has to be the explanation of what is going on!' Right?'
V2::
No responseV1::
`Hello? Are you still there? Please answer me I am getting frightened. I suddenly feel all alone and....'
V2:
`You are as alone as you make yourself to be.'
V1:
`What does that mean? Why I have always been in the company of others - friends, family, children - you name it I had lots of people around me.'
V2:
`Then why do you feel so alone and scared?'
V1:
`Why? Well this is not the same thing. There is no one here save for yourself and I can't even see who or what you are. You could just be my imagination. Maybe I am just dreaming you up! Ah, how about that?'
V2:
No response
V1:
`Hello? I asked you a question! You can at least have the courtesy of answering.'
V2:
Still no response
V1:
`Damn you! Who the hell do you think you are? Dragging me here - whereever the hell this is and you start playing mind games with me like I am some kind of lab rat or something! I demand that you answer me!'
V2:
`You are angry. That is good.'
V1:
`Yes I am angry and you are not helping me to feel any better. Why have you brought me here to this place - this nothing of a place? Making me feel all alone and empty inside - missing those whom I love - my family and friends.'
V2:
`You are lonely. That is good.'
V1:
`Stop that! Why are you treating me this way? I have done nothing to you - I don't deserve this. I want to go home. I want to be with my...my.....'
V2:
`With whom? Who do you want to be with?'
V1:
`I don't know now. I thought I did. Just then in that instant that I spoke of it I thought I knew but now for some reason I don't and I can't remember. But I know they exist! I know they are probably missing me right now wondering where I have gotten to. I am sure of it.'
V2:
`If you are so sure then it must be.'
V1:
`I think so. I - I don't know. Why is this happening to me? Who are you? Damn it!
Ok, you are obviously not want to answer me on this. Let's see. What is the last thing that I recall happening before this. <pause> why can't I remember? What is happened to me?'
V2:
`Why does this matter to you? Why is it important to know?'
V1:
`What do you mean - why is it important to me? Because damn it - it is Me and who and what I am. The people and things in my life that make me who I am, that give me meaning and reason of being.'
V2:
`And why is that?'
V1:
`What do you mean? You - you with all these questions but no answers, I want answers do you hear me! Answer my questions and tell me where I am and why you brought me here! Damn it!'
V2:
`What makes you believe I brought you here - and where is here?'
V1:
`Stop with that, you are driving me crazy. You have me totally confused. I - I can't thin...k. Think that is it right? You want me to think of why I am here. You want me to work it out for my self, find my own answers. That is it - right?'
V2:
No response
V1:
`Ah ha! I thought so. Wait: thought. Thought - think. - I can't see or sense you, I don't sense a body - you say I am not dead - or maybe I am and all this is....'
V2:
`Is?'
V1:
`That is it - I am my consciousness. That is it right? This conversation I am having with you is really me, that I am in my own thought seeking the answer to my own questions.'
V2:
No response
V1:
`Ah hah! The fact you did not respond must mean I am on the right track. Lets see - so if you are me and I am but thought...but why? What is the purpose - what is to be gained by this - to what end?'
V2:
`Why need there be an end? Is not a beginning enough?'
V1:
`But for every beginning there has to be an end doesn't there?'
V2:
No response
V1:
`But if there are no ends and just beginnings...but how, how can there be just beginnings? Everything has to end sometime doesn't it?'
V2:
`What is the end of something?'
V1:
`THE END! Finished, complete, over, fin, DEAD!'
V2:
`And who makes it so? Who says when it is the End?'
V1:
`You are right! Who decrees when something has ended? Actually if you think...that is it! If you think you realize that there is no end. That all that is continues forever and the only concept of something no longer being is purely that - just a concept imposed by the need of a dimensional reality to keep a perspective in the time and space continuum. But if you negate this relative ness - it is not too difficult to think that all is and forever shall be!
V2:
`Amen'
