What if we could love the characters that we play as much as God loves us? What if we could step outside of our personas and watch them act their asses off? Because that is what we are doing!

Yes, you are permitted to smile; the storyboard has you doing such selfish things and you always go along with it. All ads have storyboards and yours is no different than anyone else’s. It shows you meeting people, eating meals, buying stuff, all while you are in a state of psychic sleep. And the plot is always thickening (even sickening.)

You say you want to wake up, but how is that possible if you are just on a storyboard?

I see Vicki all day long and actually forget that I am just playing a role as her.

The rare flash of awareness occurs and Vicki disappears, but it never lasts long. Human beings are shrouded in the sleep of the Ages. We come and go, never doing much that matters.

I have made little progress in realizing that I am a dreamed-up character. Why is that? I think it is because everyone else is as asleep as I am.

Oh, we have studied truth in depth, but we have never been able to kill off the main character. Yes, you may giggle.

The catch is that we fear looking foolish when we are acting our roles. We are chewing the scenery all day long and we seldom get called out for it. “You’re bad at playing the role of Vicki. I’m losing interest in the plot of your story.” So we watch TV to see actors playing roles, while we are doing the same damned thing.

I could continue this rant but it is starting to make sense to me and that might ruin my life as a dreamed character.

P. S. We are all playing roles. It is a little sloppy, but the gist is that we all know that all the world’s a stage, yet we refuse to admit it. Our personas are old and stale but the show must go on.
