Star Trek TNG has an episode called, Frame of Mind. Where Riker discovers to his dismay a theatrical play about a mentally ill patient (who isn't mentally ill) that is being held captive for doing something he doesn't remember actually has become reality, and for not learning his lessons he is further punished, cooperating nets him some relief but barely enough to constitute the incredible joys that he is now being made to believe were false from his 'episodes' of life on the Enterprise.
Imagine if this were true though. You exist in a place that you do not remember until you are there. When you are there, everything else you remember, but it is because you're being made to do something specific that you have no memory of needing to do so. Despite this state you are in, you are expected to perform, or else the natural ways of things will throw more 'catalyst' at you to try and help you, when it's also actually hurting you.
I'm referring to this concept of False Reality overlaid upon Illusion the Hell Room Effect (specifically for my book actually!)
Imagine you fall asleep and wake up in a black empty place, you're intelligently aware that the place is a room, but you cannot move from your place in it, the room has no dimensions, but you exist inside of it, and it can morph reality to put you back where you need to be. When you're there you remember your entire life, when you're in your life, you have no memory of that place.
Riker in Star Trek actually provides the answer on what to do in such a situation, 'Trust the Better Result', for if that too is an illusion, it is preferred to reality.
Such is Human, how we cling to comfort, how we desperately try to not be in a place of utter despair, but to feel it isn't enough, to know it and experience it isn't enough. Some must LIVE it, and perhaps they do by simply having a 'Frame of Mind' that allows them to constantly see Hell. To experience Heaven as a fanciful Hell to deceive. To know reality as illusion but the only real thing.
When everything is illusion, you should trust in the better outcome that makes you feel good. If Heaven is illusion and Hell is illusion, and you desire heaven, believe in that, and make it your reality.
The Hell Room is a concept created within the mind, it is not a real place. 1408 style shows you what it would mean for it to be a real place, a place that blends afterlife and life, a place that blends intangible and tangible, a place where everything is together, there is no actuality, just illusion being further manipulated and played with. Souls from heaven and hell, they are recalled into the room to further teach and torment you. Past experiences are all shown to further debase your Will. You are powerless and at the mercy of the Room.
"It's an evil fucking room." It will tear you down, give you freedom, rip it away, and then toy with you until you're broken. If such a place exists, Earth may very well be one for many upon it's plane.
And when all is said and done, you can't even prove it's real, you may perhaps never even remember it was real, you may go through life never knowing, every bout of sadness randomly onset is residual memory of despair surfacing from the 'moment ago' where you found yourself inside an empty place of judgment masquerading as your teaching environment to better you.
The Way Out Is Through The Hell Room, perhaps for some.
I pray, you are not one of them. It is a place of suffering not of physical pain, but something worse, of the consciousness. A place of torment upon Consciousness, providing it the only pain it will ever know to be 'real'. The Pain of Infringement.
Reality Illusion Actuality Dream, the hell room doesn't discriminate, everything is illusion, and it can use everything to break you. The only way out, is to accept, forgive, love, and hope. If you survive the trials, you may very well be caught up in it's eternal illusion, or maybe you're free finally.
You'll never know though. Maybe one day you'll be back. Like Q's Eternal Trial upon Humanity, the ruling was made but the Trial never ends.
(I'm enjoying the concepts of psychological horror running through my mind today as I'm applying them creatively and not...Literally.)
Anyone like to comment on the psychological thrill of existence being 'real' but 'illusion', Matrix style, Frame of Mind style, or just...Realistically?
