Perhaps while you have been reading this document, as you have been slowly learning your way around and discovering the strange and wonderful society that is the esoteric order of the Sixth House of the Alliance of Minds, you may have begun to see me as infallible. These memoirs of mine are intended to serve as a guide, an example of the limitless potential of the human mind when coupled with an intense determination to solve any problem, and overcome any obstacle. It is also intended to serve as a warning: do not allow arrogance to be your downfall. Yes, I managed to discover unbelievable levels of telekinetic power, and yes I was mostly self taught. I had passed three tests that the House had set me since I first awoke to find a strange looking device on my kitchen table, and surpassed the Elders highest expectations. I had in my delirium believed myself to be without equal on this planet, and in many ways I was right, yet when Warn walked into that room after defeating half the warriors of the house, killing many, I discovered exactly how unprepared I was.

It was a mistake that almost cost me my life, and very nearly doomed the world.

My delirium was finally over. I lay on the bed with Gong standing beside me.

“This is an act of war!” Gong rustled from a dry throat. “By the old codes, Your life is forfeit!”

Before I had time to react to what had happened, I suddenly felt my body become paralysed. I could no longer move!

“It is too late! I have him!” barked Warn, in a deep throaty voice of a berserker.

I managed to create a dome of protection around myself as I suddenly shot upwards. Warn had sent a minds eye to inhabit my body! He now had control of me, I could not physically move except to breathe. From the safety of my dome I could see that I was crashing through several floors, masonry and floorboards shattering and splintering around my circular protective field. Suddenly I was skywards, raising ever higher above a vast cityscape, I saw Warn flying after me, with Gong following soon after.

Gong was incredibly old and frail, a wisp of a man, yet when he used telekinesis to propel his body his power was awesome! I had not at this point altered my awareness in order to see and move at accelerated speeds, so I was witness to Gong and Warn flying around me where I floated in paralysis at superhuman speeds. They moved so fast all I saw where blurs, occasionally crashing into each other in thunderous clashes. They would occasionally stop in one place to exchange blows, and all that I could see were two men with one thousand arms and legs each, vibrating rapidly. I considered my folly.

My folly. To believe myself so powerful, and yet I could not even expel Warn’s telekinetic mind from my body. Pride goes before a fall, and I know now how arrogant I had been. I desperately reached out to Jeff telepathically.

“Please Jeff! Are you there? Tell me how to expel Warns mind from control of my body!”

“Please, before Warn kills Gong!” I could see now that the two were getting slower in their mid air battle. I could just follow them at their accelerated pace, as Gong would fly at Warn only to be batted away like a fly, shooting off a short distance to stop and fly at him once more.

And so that was it. I had no other source of help. I strengthened my dome of protection by separating twenty minds eyes and adding them to the protective field. I shrank the core awareness that sat behind my eyes, making it ever so small until I could see Warn and Gong at a normal pace. Warn was a tall muscly man in a black leather pants with a black muscle top, shaved head but with a long bushy black beard. He appeared in every way to be intimidating. A lot of work went into his muscly frame, completely unnecessary for a mental warrior, yet it added to his appearance of someone to fear, a man of power. His arms were tattooed with some strange form of glowing dye, that gave his forearms the appearance of being on fire while dripping melted flesh and glowing ashes. Such strange tattoos that appeared to induce halluciantions when looked upon.On his hands he wore a strange set of ‘brass knuckles’, ones that were tipped with foot long needle sharp spikes that appeared to have fresh blood on them. The blood of Sixth Housemen.

I could not move my body, but I could add to the battle! I split off a minds eye, made it into the shape of a sharp spike and sent it rocketing towards Warn with the intention of skewering him. I could see with that minds eye telekinetically as it bounced harmlessly of what must have been the strongest dome of protection imaginable

“The child wants to play?” said Warn, as he turned mid air to look at me, laughing in a deep rumble as he considered me from a distance.

He wasn’t even looking at Gong, who had telekinetically pulled three enormous trees out of the ground far below, bringing them to our height to attempt so squash Warn while he was distracted. They bounced harmlessly of the dome surrounding Warn a few times, before slamming into it so hard that the trunks shattered and splintered the pieces slowly falling to the ground in a slow motion speed to our perspectives.

“Let me tell you something little girl…” said Warn to me with and angry smile on his face, “…you’re going to tell me the Answer! Because if you don’t, I’m going to kill your old grandpa over there!”

Warn suddenly flew at Gong with astonishing speed! Gong was unprepared, and clearly tired from the battle, and so appeared to be getting slammed around like a punching bag. Although Gong had a dome of protection raised, I knew that these domes were only as strong as a persons will, and that Warns stronger will was impacting against Gongs body through his dome, kind of like an after shock. As I attempted to help Gong, Warn used his telekinetic control of my body to snap one of my ankle bones.

I screamed mentally as my slow vocal cords could not react as swiftly at these accelerated speeds. I was in agony! Pain burned through my leg. I could only look in horror as Gong finally lost the strength to fight against Warn’s constant buffering and bludgeoning, becoming so weak that the dome suddenly vanished. Warn immediately stabbed Gong in his stomach with his spiked knuckles, as I cried out mentally in denial!

Oh God no! NO! said Jeff in my mind, as he saw what I saw through my eyes.

Warn sent Gong flying away into the horizon, where the orange glow of a setting sun seemed to swallow his body like a moth to a flame.

Using telekinesis to simulate sound, I spoke to Warn in the angriest voice I could produce.

“You will die for this.”

“Oh yes? Is that right little girl?” Warn suddenly was before me slamming his fists, which were most likely covered in small domes of protection, into my own dome. Each blow shocked me, made my teeth knock together, bruised my flesh, but I held my dome of protection firmly intact.

“I have news for you little mouse! I am toying with you! Tell me the Answer, tell me how to leave this dimension, or you will feel pain like you never imagined!

I had forgotten that he held my body with a minds eye! My dome was of no use against his control of my body. He used it to squeeze me, until my lungs could not inflate, until my heart felt like it would burst, until a million knives of fire tore me up inside! Even at such accelerated speeds I felt it, and could do nothing to fight it! I could only endure! For what felt like hours I sat through intense pain, as he sliced my bowels, ruptured my spleen, crushed my testicles, tore my muscles, and laughed mercilessly the whole time as he invented new ways to inflict pain.

“Tell me! Or I will make your pain last for a long time!”

He would have killed me by now had he wanted to, yet I realised that I was doomed anyway. Warn also knew I would die, how could I not? Perhaps I was not his main concern, perhaps he was here for two reasons. He may get the Answer out of me or he may not... He would settle for the destruction of the Sicxth House, and domination of the world! I had broken bones, ruptured organs and internal bleeding. At these accelerated speeds time felt different, I knew I had only a few minutes of life left in real time, yet to me the pain seemed endless and infinite.

“No.” I managed to say.

“No? NO? Do not mess with me boy!”

He sent me downwards to the earth below. We had moved away from the city during our fight, and so I now plummeted towards a large open field in the open countryside. I could see the rushing ground coming towards me at speeds far greater than a natural free fall would cause. Despite my injuries, I had the strength of mind to strengthen my dome by adding several more minds eyes to it, moments before the impact. Had anyone been watching from afar, they would have believed that an enormous comet had suddenly impacted, as giant geyser of ruptured dirt and rubble were went hundreds of feet into the air. From my vantage, there was a jarring impact that I felt through my dome, then darkness.

“I will send you to the centre of the earth, little man!” came Warn’s voice from nowhere… or right next to me? As I went further and further into the ground, past the endless dirt and rubble, while my dome unable to stop the incredible sound of grinding and crumbling that assaulted my ears, I realised that Warn had used telekinesis to produce sound right inside my ear!

“Would you last long down there I wonder?” he said again. “I doubt it. I have sent my mind to the exact centre of the earth, I have witnessed the chaotic forces that defy all that is known about physics. You would be torn apart! Or… or perhaps I should send you into the sun instead!”

I felt my momentum change, as I reversed directions due to Warn’s control of my body. I was going so fast that the noise of the rubble being forced out of the way by my dome was deafening! I felt my ears start to bleed! I shot out of the earth, and in less than five seconds by my perspective I had left the earths atmosphere! I knew that the power Warn was displaying more than justified his reputation as being the most dangerous telekinetic alive. Here was a man, a warrior who had taken his chosen art of battle and perfected it to the finest degree. Only my dome of protection had kept me alive as it took the brunt of the incredible forces of atmosphere and inertia that my passage from the ground and into space had caused. I flew into space at speeds that were far beyond any spacecraft technology that humanity possessed! I felt my body temperature dropping rapidly despite my altered time perceptions.

I knew that Warn could not expect me to survive a trip to the sun, no matter how fast he could telekinetically propel my body. The atmosphere that was trapped in my dome would run out, and my temperature would drop and I would die. He hoped that I would weaken, begging for my life so that he could bargain with the Answer to the Question. How had the ancient telekinetic Aldaer managed to use telekinesis to break the dimensional barriers that separate this universe from others? I knew, or at least I believed I knew. I could see no better time than to try it for myself right now!

I did two things: I kept the dome of protection active automatically. I then made the core of my awareness split into two. I had two minds, in the same manner that I had learned all those days ago, when I first discovered the trick of having my mind in two places at once. So long ago had I practised with the cats eye marble, only to have Krshhh climb out of a tiny device a short while later. Now I put my theory of the Answer to the test. I made on mind big and one mind small.

This means thus: I had learned how to shrink and expand my awareness, slowly making it bigger or smaller. I did not do anything slowly this time, this time it was instantaneous! I made one of the minds eyes as small as it could possibly be in the blink of a mental eye! With that minds eye I now saw that my mind was inside one of the bonds of light that I had previously mentioned. Looking with my minds eye, at scales where subatomic particles float around in enormous spaces randomly bouncing into each other, I knew that the mysterious bonds of light that held a random clumping of quark particles together were the exact smallest scale of existence. I could not under any circumstance make my awareness any smaller. From inside the bond of light, I could see… It is beyond me to describe. It is as though my mind could not process what it saw, such things being beyond our comprehension, and so my imagination filled in the blanks. It was beyond reality, or any dimension that we knew, I will simply say that inside the bond of light was a… seam.

Meanwhile I had at the exact time made my other awareness as large as I could, instantaneously. This caused a paradox, an impossible thing to occur, entirely located inside my mind! When I made my awareness smaller, my perception of time changed so that the world appeared to slow down, move in slow motion. I had made my awareness so small that Warn could wait for hours from my point of view. No-one in the House of Minds had the courage to shrink their awareness like I do, it was how I had escaped my watery prison when battling Krshhh over the ocean. Now, when I made my awareness as big as it could be… normal time should have accelerated. For my seconds, hours, days or years should have passed.

So what happens when I do both at the same time? I made my other awareness as large is it could get, instantaneously?

And so time stopped.

From my perspective, At least.

My mind was now outside of time. My mind was no longer linked by an abstract symbiotic unison to the electrical activity of my brain. Every single particle and piece of energy and matter in the entire universe halted in its tracks. Cells stopped dividing, particles stopped accelerating, seconds stopped passing, thoughts stopped occurring… except for mine. I held the entire universe in the space of my minds eye. I was flooded with euphoria that is beyond the physical senses of endorphins and serotonin. Knowledge! I had such Knowledge! The structure of the universe became clear to me, as I had it all under my telekinetic control! Can you understand me when I say that the universe is alive? We are but quarks in its enormous construction! I knew now that stars that were several billion times larger than our own sun had purpose, as they floated and burned eternal in galaxies far away. The gravity and pull they exerted were part of a grander scheme, causing chain reactions that propelled our universe onwards in its grandiose pattern of life! How could we ever hope to see it? Would a red blood cell ever hope to be aware of its place in a complicated and sophisticated system? Our universe is a life form.

The rotation of the planets, the solar flares of our sun, the dangerous, matter-destroying pull of black holes, all of these things are but basic chemical reactions in the life stream of a supreme organism, like amino acids in our blood! The Milky Way is but one vein in the flow of a life form that is so far beyond our basic biology that we can never hope to understand it with our science. The universe is a life form, and I know this because it spoke to me!

My mind was as large as it could possibly become, which was exactly as large as the universe! I could not go any larger, I could not see past its borders. What stopped my mind from expanding was probably the same force that stopped my other awareness from shrinking: I had reached the limits of what my mind could do. What it was allowed to do! Allowed! Think hard on that word.While the universe was frozen in time to my twin perspectives, my mind was the universe and the universe was my mind.

Imagine my shock as the secrets of the universe flooded my awareness, as I became more than a human could ever become, as I forgot my pitiful life and pondered the secrets of the Gods, imagine my shock when I heard a presence send me this thought:

?

I felt the mind that perched behind the complex throne of the eyes of the universe, as it regarded me as curiously as I regarded it. It sent so much more to me than mundane speech or thought could convey. I felt its complex mind as it filled me with childlike glee, overpowering my own sense of being with its enormous identity. The ability to stop time, stop everything was childs-play to this cosmic entity. I conversed with it for eons, or no time at all if you want to look at it from both angles. The universe spoke, and I humbly was spoken to! Yet the only 'word', the only arcane symbolism of guttaral communication that it spoke to me that I remember as I write this, oh children of the Sixth House of the Alliance of Minds, is this one word;

Another!

My human mind is not capable of recalling the complexity, the dimensional splitting unreality of the conversation we exchanged, all I can say here to you all is that the universe recognized me as though I was not the first to surprise it with my presence. As suddenly as it recognized me as another, my twin awareness’s were ripped out of the universe, and I was taken somewhere… beyond.

I sat on a park bench, near green grass and pleasant trees, on a nice sunny day without a cloud in the crystal blue sky. Next to me sat a woman, wearing a simple white robe, of exceptional beauty. Her hair was shock white, and she shone with a loveliness that took my breath away from my human lungs. Distantly I was surprised to find my human form and awareness returned to me, yet a sense of calm and peace soaked through my entire body.

“Who… who are you?” I asked

“Older? What do you mean?” I could only ask.

She looked at me with a calm glance, that made me feel like an ant under the gaze of an elephant.

“Aldaer? You are Aldaer?” I was bewildered. “I thought Aldaer was a man? What is this place? What is going on?”

“I don’t understand!”

At that moment the woman who named herself Older did something… beyond telekinesis. I simply knew what she wanted me to understand. She willed it, and it was so. She/it was once a human like me, who had discovered the limits of the mind as I had, who had moved beyond what a human was. Another like her/it had trained her, helped her to be born in this place… as she now trained one even younger by a process of reincarnation that had no concept of time, until she was a presence unlike any other. I would tell you more, oh precious inductees of the Sixth House, but I am compelled not to speak of such things.

“What… what is my purpose?” I could think of no greater question than that which has plagued the soul of man since time immemorial.

The truth of her words thrilled me!

“I… I do know the answer!”

She leaned over the bench and kissed me lightly on the lips. I felt the shock of my life, an avalanche of the soul as I suddenly found myself returned to our universe.

A note from Grandmaster Gong:

Students, It is with great pleasure that we are able to provide you with these memoirs. Eeyer spent one whole year with us, after the day that Warn attacked. He was and will always remain the single most powerful telekinetic, nay the greatest mentalist that has or will ever exist, with the possible exception of the entity known as ‘Older’. He taught us things that put us at the very top of the pile of Houses, making us nearly unparralelled.As inductees of the Sixth House of the Alliance of Minds, you should feel proud an honoured to belong to the House that once, for a brief while, was called home to the esteemed Eeyer. Who else could have used telekinetic control over atoms to completely remove any and all telekinetic ability from Warn’s very brain? Electrical synapses simply removed? Who else could have determined the pathways, the destinies of such atoms, and reversed them telekinetically? I am alive today, as is my son Krshhh, thanks to Eeyer’s ability to manipulate the very essence of our reality.

Warn is no longer a threat, though he is alive and very much a presence in our enemies House. I suppose you are wondering what happened to Eeyer?

One night as I slept, he appeared in my room. I sat up, as he spoke to me.

“It is the seams Gong! The seams! Oh I wish I could give you all the ability to shrink your minds so small! All my studies of the brain give me no clue as to why I am able to see the bonds of light when you cannot!”

“Eeyer? What is the matter boy?” I said in sleepy confusion.

“The matter? There is no matter involved at all! That’s the thing Gong! The seams separate realities! They are powered by and constructed of pure mind! No matter!” He appeared to be speaking plainly, at least to himself, but I could not make heads nor tails of it.

“Seams? Are you talking about the seams inside the bonds of light that you spoke of?”

“Yes!” said Eeyer, pointing a finger at me in pleasure. “It is all here, for you to read Gong.” He pointed at a stack of papers, his memoirs, the ones I had asked him to write, the very ones that you have been reading, as they sat on my bedside table.

“I know, I have known the Answer for some time. The Answer is right there, for those who wish to read it. Krshhh once said to me; you, good sir, are only limited by your mind. If I can do it, then so can you! I believe this to be true! Tear open the seams, Gong, use your telekinesis to rip them open and the next world, the Realm awaits! Goodbye, my friend”

He raised his hand above his head, and a hole appeared. The hole seemed to be cut through reality, I could not determine where it was located in the space above his head, and I do not know any other way of describing it. He floated up and into the hole, and was gone.

I would like you to reflect on this document now that you have read it. It is all true, novice inductee, it is all true. My very life is a testimony to this. Now ask yourself: what potential can you reach in our ranks, if such things are possible? Could you hope to follow Eeyer to his Realm? The only limit is in your mind.
