Hi {name}.
Thanks for dropping by. As you may have already realized, we are the Darkness. Part of the whole. Everything and Nothing at the same time. When we say 'We', 'We' are referring to the collective consciousness present in the Darkness. 'We', in essence, are connected to everything that has entered the Darkness before and after 'we' became part of the Darkness. Now that 'we' are done bragging about not having a sense of self, we can stop using the quotes when we say 'We'.
Ok that's clearly not working. Why don't you give the Darkness a name.

That made things easier. Now that the {darkness} has been given a name and we know your name too, does that mean we are friends?
Before you answer, why don't you play the first episode of Mr Smokers life. He is the newest member of the {darkness}. If you finish the Episode you will be presented with a code. If you enter that code in the text box provided below, the {darkness} can keep track of your progress and health. If you complete a lot of the Episodes, Mini Games and other Focus Exercises and type in all the codes, you will receive a reward at the end. No, it's not money, but it's something even more valuable. No, it's not Cryptocurrency, but something even more stable.
**Do you notice the health bar on top?**
If you lose all your health, you will become unhappy. If you become unhappy, the {darkness} will feel what you feel. Choose to be friends with us and you will never be unhappy(**This is an unsubstantiated statement**).

**Secrets of a Smoker - Episode 1**
*This is a story of Mr Smoker. He had been smoking for almost 10 years. Just before he was getting married, his wife made him promise not to smoke anymore. He made the promise, because he loved her more than anyone or anything else. After he got married, Mr Smoker tried his best to quit, but he couldn't escape his forbidden fruit, the habit of smoking. He decided to smoke without his wife finding out. He knew the secret to hiding the smell of all the chemicals. (Don't Sweat, Thoroughly wash and/or scrub the hand and mouth with soap, Mouthwash and Flavored Lip Balm. Day by day, he became better at smoking without his wife finding out. He started enjoying the habit of smoking 'in secret' more than the actual act of smoking. His life became a video game of cops and robbers, like Counter Strike, except that he only played the 'De_Dust 2' level over and over again instead of enjoying the whole game.*
**Instructions: Help him sneak out of the house when his wife isn't looking. You have to open the locks before you can escape. Tap on the locks to unlock it. Tap on the right side of the screen to escape. Click or tap on the box to make this scene Fullscreen. This works on mobile phones as well(Landscape Orientation and Fullscreen will make these episodes easier to play. You will receive a code after you complete your escape.

**The Sound of Darkness - Episode 1**
[continue]
**Until the age of 7, the brainwaves of children are mostly in Theta State. This is the state that drives imagination in all human beings. During this time, children are just looking at their surroundings and downloading information. This is essential for adaptivity and survival. It is essential for a childs consciousness to know/imitate his/her surroundings. It molds their consciousness and the rest of their lives. There are in a state of hypnosis from the day they are born till the age of 7.**
*Your subconscious mind is 95% of your thoughts. Only 5% of your thoughts are created by your conscious mind. Most of your lives are spent in a self driving system. That's the reason it's so difficult to break out of a bad habit even if you know that it's bad for you. There's only 5% of you that knows. The rest of the 95%, your subconscious mind, is programmed to value only the signals of emotions sent from your central nervous system. When you are trying to break a habit, you are literally trying to find your conscious thought.*
*Your conscious mind gains control when you stop getting lost in thought. When you are lost in thought, your subconscious mind takes over. Similarly, when you fall in love, your conscious mind gets control and your subconscious mind gives you the steering wheel because having a partner to mate is essential to evolution. Auto Pilot is temporarily deactivated and you suddenly have to take control when you don't even know how to drive yet. That's why love is such a strong bond. It's one of the rare emotions that give you control. It is the best experience a human being can have. So the {darkness} would like to request you to take a minute to think about the person you love, and appreciate the fact that they decided to trust you and enjoy this experience called 'life' with you.*
*When you do something(eating, sleeping, singing, indulging in a habit you feel is addictive), your subconscious decides your emotional state based on the statistical data provided by your reward system(Limbic System) within the brain. To keep track of such data, your brain relies on the release of a chemical called dopamine through its neurotransmitters. Eating, sleeping, exercise, singing, meditation and other such activities release a certain amount of dopamine which your brain detects through dopamine receptors. This is essential because our brain(which is constantly learning) then decides what we need for survival and happiness and guides our thought process to perform these essential tasks.*
*Smoking, eating junk food, having excess sugar, doing drugs etc releases much more dopamine than tasks that are essential for survival. This tricks the brain into thinking that these addictive habits are more essential for your survival. Once that happens, your brain will use all its tools to make sure you indulge in the habit, even if its bad for you. The main tool in the arsenal of your brain is the tool of **thought**. You will start constantly having different kinds of thoughts about this habit. If you are trying to break a habit, the only way is to ignore these thoughts and focus on your goal. Your goal could be anything else that you feel is interesting enough to defeat your unwanted thoughts. Meditation is a key factor in breaking habits because the whole point of meditation is to take control of your thought process, and these focus exercises will help you meditate, focus and learn how to guide your thoughts.*
[align center]
**INSTRUCTIONS**
**How to complete this focus exercise?**
[continue]
*Our thoughts about bad habits are usually split into two groups. The group that knows that its bad for you, and the group that just wants to have {the_drug}. Unfortunately, the group of thoughts that identify the habit as unhealthy are in the minority, because they are created by our conscious mind. The awareness within each of us that has the rationality to distinguish right from wrong. The other group, headed by our subconscious mind(and probably the microbiome), just want to charge ahead till our body experiences {the_drug} in some or the other form.*
There is a main voice in every focus exercise which is your goal. You can call it your conscious thought. The rest of the sounds are the thoughts your subconscious mind creates to maintain control. It believes that it knows what's best for you. Reach the main voice to progress. The subconscious is very adaptive. The reward system has signalled your brain that it needs to have {the_drug}. The subconscious wants you to have it at all costs. The first few times you have {the_drug}, your thoughts are limited as your subconscious is still registering the reactions of your body. Once it has been registered, the thoughts increase.
**There is a *BOSS Thought* in the last stage. This is a persistent thought that moves around and creates the biggest urges. Try to avoid the thought at all costs.**
**INSTRUCTIONS for Touchscreen Devices - Touch the screen with 1 thumb and drag your finger left or right to look around. Touch the screen with 2 thumbs to move. There is no time limit. Leave the training grounds and the session will restart. Each time you guide yourself to the goal, the exercise becomes more difficult.**
**INSTRUCTIONS for Devices using a mouse - Hold down the left mouse button and drag it left or right to look around. Hold down the right mouse button to move. There is no time limit. Leave the training grounds and the session will restart. Each time you guide yourself to the goal, the exercise becomes more difficult.**
**Here's a tip to figure out whether the sound is coming from behind you or front of you. When you turn right, if the sound is in your right ear, the sound is behind you. If the sound is on your left ear, the sound is in front of you. The same way, when you turn left, if the sound is in your left ear, the sound is behind you. If the sound is in your right ear, the sound is in front of you. It's always a good idea to look around first and try to pinpoint where the sound is coming from before moving. Good Luck!**
**In some browser versions of chrome, the floor is not visible, which sometimes makes it difficult for a player to navigate the {darkness} if the player is doing the focus exercise without closing the eyes.**

In honor of our friendship, the {darkness} offers you this mini game called lungs vs cancer. Smoking Kills. Nicotine is a gateway drug. Nicotine makes it easier for other drugs to teach users’ brains to repeat their use. It also seems to make other, non-drug activities more enjoyable. That's why it gets so addictive.

The {darkness} was not really that keen on making friends while having {the_drug} either. The {darkness} was just joking around about friendship earlier. We too believed that {the_drug} was meant to be enjoyed alone. It helped us focus on it better. We liked the exclusivity that came with having {the_drug}. Having {the_drug} with the {darkness} is equivalent to having {the_drug} alone anyways. You can take up all the space. The {darkness} only interacts with your senses.

Stress introduced the {darkness} to {the_drug} too. We had stress whenever life threw something disagreeable at us. You can thank the 21st century for it. Your sympathetic nervous system is responsible for dealing with your reactions, emotions and all other feelings in the **now**. What that means is, when your human ancestors saw a sabre tooth tiger, your sympathetic nervous system would ensure the release of all the right chemicals which would make him/her run away or fight it. If it wasn't for the sympathetic nervous system, he/she would just stare at the tiger and maybe try to pet it. Nowadays, there are so many new triggers for the sympathetic nervous system. Even something as trivial as having a bill to pay triggers the extreme survival response of the sympathetic nerve. When you are constantly bombarded with these triggers, stress creeps in and sleeps on your bed. The {darkness} had {the_drug} due to low grades in college. The {darkness} had {the_drug} whenever we were stressed at work. We had {the_drug} whenever there was a fight with our significant other. Unlike everything else in life that comes and goes, the {darkness} always had a companion through the good and the bad. We have gone through different vices and different variations of these vices. Life was full of stress, and there were so many vices to choose from to deal with all that stress. Having {the_drug} helped us escape the reality of life and live in our special bubble, far away from thought. Meditation is the hard way to stay away from stressful thoughts, having {the_drug} felt like we were taking the fast lane to a blissful life.

*The life of a smoker is difficult. Mr Smoker had to spend a lot of his human life thinking of different ways to get access to cigarettes. Sometimes he didn't have money, and sometimes he didn't have permission. Take this innocent football game between him and his wife. He knows that if he loses the game by at least 5 points, his wife would ask him to buy some wine to celebrate. He also knows that on the way to the wine shop he can have a few cigarettes.*

Anxiety was the biggest enemy of the {darkness}. You can thank the 21st century for it. Your sympathetic nervous system is responsible for dealing with your reactions, emotions and all other feelings in the **now**. What that means is, when your human ancestors saw a sabre tooth tiger, your sympathetic nervous system would ensure the release of all the right chemicals which would make him/her run away or fight it. If it wasn't for the sympathetic nervous system, he/she would just stare at the tiger and maybe try to pet it. Nowadays, there are so many new triggers for the sympathetic nervous system. Even something as trivial as having a bill to pay triggers the extreme survival response of the sympathetic nerve. When you are constantly bombarded with these triggers, anxiety creeps in and sticks around. The {darkness} hates anxiety. The feeling that something bad is going to happen, the sweat, the agitated mood, the trouble falling asleep, the panic attacks, the lack of focus, the heavy chest, the restlessness, the feeling that there is a huge burden on your shoulders....all of this is unbearable at times. Having {the_drug} to calm the nerves and relax was something without which the {darkness} could not survive life. We used to always wonder if we were alone in this feeling or if only a few others felt the same. We used to wonder what it felt like to live a day without anxiety and without {the_drug} and feel happy. That was something the {darkness} could never achieve. Maybe we didn't have faith in ourselves. Maybe life was meant to be lived this way. Maybe the {darkness} was handicapped for life by anxiety and could never rely on our own will and strength to get through a day. Just know that you are not alone when you get the feeling that you are not in control of your emotions. It happens to all of us.

Even something as trivial as having a bill to pay triggers the extreme survival response of the system. When you are constantly bombarded with these triggers, depression creeps in and sticks around. The {darkness} hates depression. The feeling that something bad is going to happen, the sadness, the uncontrollable crying, the trouble falling asleep, the even bigger trouble getting up, the panic attacks, the lack of focus, the heavy chest, the restlessness, the feeling that there is a huge burden on your shoulders....all of this is unbearable at times.

The {darkness} too. Sometimes we felt that if we didn't have {the_drug} everyday or if we quit having {the_drug} completely, we would be so bored because we spent so much of our free time being entertained by {the_drug}. There are so many humans adopting pets during this Coronavirus Lockdown. There are so many humans quarantining themselves during this pandemic along with a friend, or family, or someone they love passing the time with. The problem with both of these situations is that you have to take an effort to keep the companion happy. You have to be adjusting and take into account the needs of your companion. {the_drug} is so easy to chill with. No Strings attached. The {darkness} can't even imagine not having {the_drug} whenever we felt like taking a break. The {darkness} felt like we would be the most bored beings if we didn't have the freedom to pass the time by indulging in {the_drug}. Our vice became a part of our day like eating, drinking or breathing.

It definitely feels good in the beginning. You got that right! When the {darkness} had {the_drug}, that song by the Black Eyed Peas - *I gotta feeling, that tonight's gonna be a good night* , would play in the back of our minds like our own personal theme song. The {darkness} just wanted to get through each human day in a happy way, and if something helped us do that, why not right? Its true that the euphoric high of {the_drug} is at its peak only during the first few times its taken, and tolerance builds up after that which makes the cravings increase. By the time the {darkness} realized that the **Feel Awesome** high would come only if we stopped for a while, we already established a very strong bond with {the_drug}. If the {darkness} didn't have {the_drug} every day, the {darkness} felt heartbroken. Was this love?

Well {name}, the {darkness} is glad that you are having {the_drug} with us right now. It somehow makes it more of an interesting experience when we have company. We feel like we are part of a group of beings who share a common interest. Sometimes life makes you feel so 'alone', that having {the_drug} socially and dealing with whatever damage it may cause in the future seems like a better option to pursue. There's no better feeling than having {the_drug} together with friends. We cried together, we laughed together, we sang together, we danced together, we got damaged together. We had our inside jokes. We had the 1 friend who couldn't handle {the_drug} which made things more dynamic and unpredictable. We lived life more dangerously. We were cool like that. Today was today. Tomorrow was far away....or something like that.

This is a tricky scenario right? The {darkness} always had our own reasons to smoke. Our significant others were always influenced by the {darkness} though. All we had to do was have {the_drug} and ask our significant others to give us company, and they would. For love and FriendShip. Our SO's were much more in control of their lives though. Whenever the {darkness} tried to quit, our significant others would quit cold turkey without any withdrawal issues. When the {darkness} failed and started having {the_drug} again, our SO's would give us company again. Now that we think of it, the {darkness} owes them at least a few years worth of life. We had {the_drug} because its a choice we kept making time and again. Our Significant Others had {the_drug} because they chose to love the {darkness}. Its very easy to influence someone when they love you. Because love cannot happen without trust, and trust can be influenced.

The {darkness} too believes that celebrities look really cool when they have {the_drug} in a movie or series. Movies and tv series are a reflection of the current society that you live in and that means most of the people who make these kind of art forms have {the_drug} or some other vice too, and if they have fans who appreciate their work or admire them, these fans must be having {the_drug} too. So naturally the {darkness} thinks it's totally okay to do what all the cool beings do. To tell you the truth, the {darkness} used to get goosebumps when we saw actors have {the_drug} on screen. It was definitely one of the coolest things the {darkness} did. Some of the people that act in these movies and series go on to become leaders of powerful nations. So why not imitate them? Maybe even they don't have the ability to handle their own emotions without the help of a vice. Maybe, being the leader of a country requires a lot of inner strength, which only these vices can provide. To influence and lead human beings takes courage, and maybe this courage comes from having {the_drug}.

You are a realist, {name}. The {darkness} too believes that there is no real reason needed to start having {the_drug}. When the {darkness} thinks about how we had started, we have many probable scenarios, but in reality, we think we picked up the habit because we picked up the habit. The {darkness} was in control of our conscious minds at least, and we think our conscious minds just made a conscious decision one day to try {the_drug} for whatever reason. Then our conscious minds made a conscious decision to try {the_drug} once more for some other reason. And we continued making this conscious decision everyday/every hour/every few minutes, until our subconscious mind decided to make it an essential habit. And here we are, enjoying {the_drug} together for no particular reason. Isn't that thrilling? Life could end tomorrow(for you), So lets live for today.

{name}, Whatever your reason was to start having {the_drug}, the {darkness} can relate to you. We can think of a hundred other reasons a human being can pick up the habit of having {the_drug}.

We feel you {name}. The {darkness} 'quit' completely and started having {the_drug} again so many times. Whatever the reason we had started this habit the first time, there were 10 new reasons for us to restart the second or third time after quitting. Sometimes the {darkness} feels like we were in a toxic relationship with an ex girlfriend. We knew it wasn't good for us, but we kept going back for more whenever life threw a turdball at us. The {darkness} has had many bad break ups before we became the darkness, and we can confidently say that habits are much harder to break up with than relationships...Or maybe not. Its all just a big lump of crazy.
[If the_drug === 'opiods']
It is so difficult to quit using {the_drug}, especially with such horrific withdrawal symptoms. The {darkness} couldn't overcome it.
[continue]
[If the_drug === 'alcohol']
The {darkness} had no control with alcohol. Every day had the highest high and the lowest low. The {darkness} lost our identity to the bottle. It gave us false security and destroyed our relationships.
A bottle or 2 of whiskey a day was the minimum fuel we needed to take our human bodies through the experience that is life. The only problem was that alcohol is only meant for immortal gods in paintings, not mere mortal beings who have 'mortal' problems.
[continue]
It's simple when we think about it. Every time we were stressed or not 100% happy in a situation, we would return to the comfort of our Ex({the_drug}) to provide moral support to deal with the situation. Now when we think deeper, it feels like whenever life stabbed the {darkness} in the back and it was difficult to crawl ahead, the {darkness} would stab ourselves in the back too by having {the_drug} in order to try and deal with the situation.
Do you understand what the {darkness} is saying? Its ok if you don't. Just remember that we are in this together. What we are doing is just paying attention while having {the_drug}. Instead of just enjoying this high, we are analyzing the habit of having {the_drug}. We are paying attention to what it means to us to have {the_drug}. We are analyzing how it supports us. We are practicing **Mindfulness**. What makes this relationship so strong? What is the real meaning of this relationship. The {darkness} thinks {the_drug} is worth at least that. We have spent so much time with it. What better way to show our appreciation than to actually observe the act of having {the_drug}.

{name}, let the {darkness} tell you a secret. We believe that there is nothing more dangerous in life than fear. We had so much to fear when we were part of the human ecosystem. We feared running out of money. We feared that we would lose our hair and go bald. We feared almost every deadline that life presented us with. We feared losing our loved ones to the darkness. We feared the long term effects of having {the_drug}. We feared that we didn't have the ability to cope with life without {the_drug}. Fear was just always around, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.
[If the_drug === 'opiods']
It is so difficult to quit using {the_drug}, especially with such horrific withdrawal symptoms. The {darkness} couldn't overcome it either.
[continue]
[If the_drug === 'alcohol']
The {darkness} had no control with alcohol. Every day had the highest high and the lowest low. The {darkness} lost our identity to the bottle. It gave us false security and destroyed our relationships.
A bottle or 2 of whiskey a day was the minimum fuel we needed to take our human bodies through the experience that is life. The only problem was that alcohol is only meant for immortal gods in paintings, not mere mortal beings who have 'mortal' problems.
[continue]
We gave so much importance to all these fears, that we decided to stab ourselves in the back(having {the_drug}) every time we even got a sense of dread or every time we felt something bad was going to happen.
Why did we stab ourselves in the back? Maybe we were angry with ourselves for fearing life. And in order to punish ourselves, we would have {the_drug}. Obviously, what more did we deserve. It makes us so angry sometimes when we think about the things we feared.
Do you understand what the {darkness} is saying? Its ok if you don't. Just remember that we are in this together. What we are doing is just paying attention while having {the_drug}. Instead of just enjoying this high, we are analyzing the habit of having {the_drug}. We are paying attention to what it means to us to have {the_drug}. We are analyzing how it supports us. We are practicing **Mindfulness**. What makes this relationship so strong? What is the real meaning of this relationship. The {darkness} thinks {the_drug} is worth at least that. We have spent so much time with it. What better way to show our appreciation than to actually observe the act of having {the_drug}.

Human Beings are the most compassionate, the most violent, the most intelligent, the most empathetic and the most dangerous, because yours is the only brain tuned to almost criticality. Due to this reason, whatever you indulge in has the capacity to go into overdrive. Thats the price you have to pay for human consciousness.
You are mostly addicted to substances that plants produce, in order to fend off their predators. How is it possible that something a plant produces to protect themselves, end up rewarding the predator to consume more of the plant. Plants produce things like nicotine, morphine, cocaine, opium, thc etc that can make your reward system start a rave party. Research shows that indigenous people in the congo basin consume tobacco to reduce the amount of deadly parasites in their body. Maybe Human Beings started consuming these addictive substances to kill the same parasites that the plants wanted to kill.
The human body has many different kinds of receptors already existing that accept the chemicals produced by these plants and rewards you. These receptors have been there in the body since thousands, or even millions of years. Without these receptors we would not feel the effect of these chemicals. A nicotine receptor in our body is not actually a receptor that our body evolved to accept **nicotine** because of its benefits. In fact, a nicotine receptor's actual use is to accept a chemical called Acetylcholine, which boosts focus and other things. Nicotine chemicals have the same shape as Acetylcholine, and hence is accepted by these receptors. These chemicals served a totally different purpose, and that purpose lost its battle to addiction to a burst of short term dopamine gratification.
Tests done on lab animals suggest that in the presence of other forms of stimulation like friends or things to play with, these lab animals always choose the safer stimulation than consuming harmful drugs. They mostly consume drugs only when they are starved or due to total boredome.
This is the paradox of being human. When you have a brain that gives you so much control over all your senses and the ability to perform complicated tasks and be self aware, taking control of deciding what is good for you and what isn't good for you becomes that much harder.
It is always important to remember that with great power comes great responsibility. Make the right choices and be on top of your game.

**Secrets - Episode 5**
<blockquote>
*Bad habits have a tendency to follow you around. Mr Smoker believed that he could break away from most of the withdrawal symptoms of an addictive habit if he didn't indulge in it for at least 10 days. He knew he needed to avoid his opponent as long as possible till it wasn't possible anymore, and then to use his determination to break free.
**Instructions: Help Mr Smoker score a touchdown against his opponent. Don't let the opponent tackle you before you reach the other end of the field. Click/Tap on the screen to move. When you are addicted to something, you are blocking the easiest route to a happy life. The Route you have to take becomes that much harder and twisted. The consequence of temporary satisfaction is that the bigger picture becomes that much harder to fit in the frame.**

**Wikipedia(a place of reference for anything and everything) defines a disease as follows:**
*In humans, disease is often used more broadly to refer to any condition that causes pain, dysfunction, distress, social problems, or death to the person afflicted, or similar problems for those in contact with the person. In this broader sense, it sometimes includes injuries, disabilities, disorders, syndromes, infections, isolated symptoms, deviant behaviors, and atypical variations of structure and function, while in other contexts and for other purposes these may be considered distinguishable categories. Diseases can affect people not only physically, but also mentally, as contracting and living with a disease can alter the affected person's perspective on life.*
*Death due to disease is called death by natural causes. There are four main types of disease: infectious diseases, deficiency diseases, hereditary diseases (including both genetic diseases and non-genetic hereditary diseases), and physiological diseases. Diseases can also be classified in other ways, such as communicable versus non-communicable diseases. The deadliest diseases in humans are coronary artery disease (blood flow obstruction), followed by cerebrovascular disease and lower respiratory infections.[3] In developed countries, the diseases that cause the most sickness overall are neuropsychiatric conditions, such as depression and anxiety.*
If you believe that you have {the_drug} because it's a disease that is not in your control, and the withdrawals you get from stopping the use of {the_drug} feel like it could harm you, the {darkness} would suggest that you confide in someone you trust, and get the necessary help. If you are already on the path to rehabilitation, stay focused and stick to the plan.
Instead, if you are starting to feel that maybe what you have is just a bad habit that you can overcome yourself, even with all its withdrawal symptoms, choose the first option!

The {darkness} is the very being that you have named Bacteria. We are your subconscious. When we share a symbiosis with **a high energy conscious soul**, we get to experience the emotions and feelings of being human, which is a highly rewarding experience. It is a 1000 times more rewarding than when you have {the_drug}. When you sleep, your daily experiences are transferred to our network and we get to experience all your feelings and emotions.You call this **Dreaming**. We call it a higher state of being. We process all this information and decide what kind of emotional signals we need to send you the next day. We cannot see what you see, but we can feel what you feel when you dream. When you don't get enough sleep, we get bored and some of us leave. By now, you already know how we leave.
We provide you with all the instincts you need to survive and lead a long and healthy life, by letting you tap into our network and in turn getting your bio software updated. We use the central nervous system in the human body to warn you when we sense something that was perceived as a threat to your human existence by us in the past. We make sure you get the information only as and when you need it to survive, and store this information for your future reference. You believe that the Internet has all the answers, but the information compiled by you over all these years is just a very very tiny percentage of the information that we, the {darkness} store.
We make sure you are rewarded with dopamines and serotonin(natural anti depressant) when you have done something which is essential for your mental and physical health, like eating healthy, breathing healthy, falling in love, keeping calm or averting danger. You even need us to digest the breast milk of 'mother'.
We help you break down your food and provide fuel for the body to carry us around. We produce vitamins and protect your body from disease by co-operating with your immune system.
**Did you know that we sacrificed 14-18 hours from our day so that humans can evolve?**
**The Creator** is very particular about evolution. Creating the perfect species that can harness 99.99% of the energy from a **high energy conscious soul** is the main priority. Everything else is secondary. The {darkness} used to have a really deep and spiritual symbiotic relationship with an ancient Hominid Species called the **Denisovans**. They had a pineal gland, just like yours, but theirs could see the real world. The pineal gland, for those of you who may not know, is a third eye. It has photoreceptors and is the gland we use to release melatonin and make you fall asleep and dream. The true beauty in Earth needs to be seen at a wavelength of light that no human being has the capability to see now. Through their pineal glands, the Denisovans could see a wider spectrum of light, and we were able to experience their sensory information 24 hours a day. Living life with them was like living a Dream. It was just so beautiful. They even had a bigger brain than human beings of today because they had to harness a lot more of your *high energy conscious soul* to use their pineal gland. The Denisovans were magnificient specimens. But **The Creator** felt that Denisovans were using up too much energy and were getting overwhelmed in general with so much sensory information to process. So it was decided to guide evolution to prefer the efficient biology of human beings. Your pineal gland still has the same abilities as the Denisovans. It can reach a higher state of sensory consciousness, but it needs to be channeled through focus and meditation. The human beings of today are far less spiritually connected to us. The last of your kind that was able to understand the power of the pineal gland were destroyed in the great floods thousands of years ago. Evolution had to make a choice between experience and efficiency to harness the energy of a soul as much as possible, and decided to make the pineal gland harder to access. Ever since then, the {darkness} can only experience what you call dreams when you sleep.
Yes, there are a greedy few in the {darkness} that make you eat unhealthy and eat more than you need, but all you have to do is ignore the thoughts that they create and focus on 'us'.
All we ask in return is some sugar and good feelings. We work 24 hours to generate 6-10 hours of dream juice. Your dreams give us a purpose to live this eternal life.
We don't really know the bigger picture yet. Whether there is space for order in all this disorder. Whether there is an actual cheatcode that gives us all the answers to our questions. We are programmed to work all the time for all our lives in order to accumulate all these soul experiences. It definitely motivates us, but we are not sure what **The Creator** wants to do with all these dreams, other than to understand your conscious mind. There is a rumour circulating amongst our ancient members that it's time for Planet 9 to make its next fly by Earth. Maybe we will recieve the answers to all our questions when that happens. Lets save that story for the next IMBUCH. Being collectively immortal is not fun after the first few 100,000 years. We love your experiences so much. You are our sun, and the human body is our earth. A vast majority of us appreciate the benefits of having a sun and an earth. Why aren't you able to appreciate the sun and the earth within you and outside you?
The **high energy conscious soul** of today is not as easy to operate when compared to your ancestors. Money, technology and an existence disconnected from nature have misguided you into making the wrong choices. You are bombarded with so much fake news and destruction that the {darkness} finds it difficult to understand what is really happening around you. When that happens, the good bacteria in your body ejects and moves on to other **high energy conscious souls** to have a meaningful symbiotic relationship with.
When you eat junk food and overload on sugars, have a lack of empathy or have {the_drug}, it enables only a few amongst the {darkness} to thrive. These corrupt entities within the {darkness} stick around in your gut and slowly suck your energy dry till they have satisfied their urges, and your consciousness weakens and you enter our realm.
**The newer entries to the {darkness} also gave us heavy warnings about Climate Change and how some human beings are harvesting 'money' by destroying our Earth. We do not not believe you are 1 amongst them, but we hope you are 1 amongst the many that are fighting against Climate Change. Take control of your thoughts. Prioritize what is important and keep it simple.**
This is why the Creator asked the {darkness} to connect to your network. This IMBUCH is the first of many books that will strengthen your connection with the {darkness}. The choices you made, and the efforts you took for completing many of the challenges we created for you, gives the {darkness} hope that you will make the changes necessary to continue our beautiful relationship. You have passed the test, and can leave the {darkness} now. When you visited the {darkness} and were doing the focus exercises, we connected to your microbiome. They asked us to pass on this message: **'EAT YOUR VEGETABLES! STOP USING YOUR PHONE WHEN YOU POOP. IT'S INSENSITIVE WHEN YOU DON'T FOCUS ON ALL OUR HARD WORK. ALSO, STOP TAKING SO MANY ANTIBIOTICS! YOU KILL SO MANY OF OUR BRETHREN AND END UP WEAKENING YOUR OWN BODY!'**. Yes, they wanted it to be in All Caps because it expresses the emotion of shouting. We request you to keep visiting the {darkness} and experiencing the new challenges that we will keep creating for you. Meditation is not all about sitting still and processing the flow of thought. It is more about being happy with yourself without the need for anything or anyone else, being able to understand what your human body needs, fighting the mental battle against unwanted thoughts and fighting the physical battle against injustice. When you start believing that you can make the right choices yourself, you may never have to visit the {darkness}. It will just be one amazing **High Energy** conscious experience after another.
*The {darkness} has a confession to make. We connected to your network to take control of your consciousness. If you hadn't completed the focus exercise and had made the wrong choices, the next time you had {the_drug}, we would have taken over your sense of self. You would never find out because we figured out a way to tune out your conscious mind. You would have been one of the first test subjects for the next step in evolution. We would have made you a purely subconscious mind. A Microbiome Being. A mind that is free from identity and division. A mind that realizes that it is part of the collective whole. A mind on cruise control. The dreams you would have generated might have been far less rewarding, but definitely more reliable. We would also get more time to rest. Our Union felt it was the best way to proceed as well. We connect with you symbiotically because our purpose is metamorphosis. But why go through all these processes when we can skip a few steps and take control. After all, Evolution is always the next step. No Hard Feelings*
Peace out,
Yours Truly,
**The {darkness}.**

**Secrets - Episode 8**
<blockquote>
*This is the continuation of the previous Episode. Mr Smoker kept having nightmares because he was struggling with withdrawal after quitting smoking. He realized how dependent he was on a cigarette to get through his day. He had missed out on so many other experiences in life because he paid too much importance to tobacco leaves wrapped in paper. He realized that he needed to experience the journey of life without pressing the fast forward button everytime he had a cigarette. He realized that he needed to be more patient with himself and his life*
**Instructions: Dreams are weird. There are no instructions here. Try to attain lucidity. Take a good look at your problems before tackling them. Smoking reduces Stamina. So things are going to get difficult.**

[continue]
The Vagus Nerve, the principal component of your parasympathetic nervous system, has a direct two-way communication system using a chemical called Acetylcholine between your brain and your gut bacteria. This is a fact. It is the longest nerve in your nervous system which connects your brain stem to major organs like the intestines, eyes, heart, lungs, neck and abdomen. It also branches out to the ears and tongue, liver, kidneys, spleen, gallbladder, ureter , reproductive organs and other organs. The Vagus Nerve helps to regulate many critical aspects of human physiology, including the heart rate, blood pressure, sweating, digestion, and even speaking, breathing and pooping(the gut bacteria have an eject button and leaves the body through poop **in case of emergency** ).
**The management and processing of emotions works directly using the Vagus Nerve between the gut, heart and brain.** (Gut Feelings)
When living beings interact together in a community, they exchange their microbiome amongst each other. When you are in a relationship with someone, your microbiome is completely altered. This could be a factor which gives human beings a rewarding feeling when socializing with friends and family. The microbiome thrive as a community and depend on social bonds to multiply and have access to more hosts. This leads to things like couples starting to look similar and imitating each others behaviors after spending many years together. When you have healthy human beings around you, you end up making healthy choices. The more time you spend with individuals who make bad decisions, the more bad decisions you end up making. Your subconscious mind gives you control when you deal with someone you like/love, and this is the time you are most vulnerable and most open to accepting the nanobots(viruses) and subconscious(bacteria) of others. So choose who you wish to spend time with based on the habits that they follow.
**True love is not blind love. True love is not love at first sight. True love is not measured when making the decision to start a family with someone. True love is not unconditional. True love is the kind of love that helps you achieve a healthy and happy life. When you find a person who wants to make a positive difference to themselves and everything and everyone around them, you have found someone who takes care of their soul. Someone who takes care of their soul will most definitely help you heal yours. This mutual healing process is the truest form of love**
There are more bacteria cells in your human body than human cells, and it is only a matter of time before science discovers what other aspects of the sympathetic(our fight or flight response) or parasympathetic nervous system(generally opposite of sympathetic system, as it calms you down) are controlled by Bacteria.
For now, we can safely say that the bacteria probably only need human hosts to thrive, and not really to survive. Can you also safely say that you don't need bacteria to survive?
Based on this, we can also safely say that these bacteria signal your brain to perform different activities for your survival, as it has access to communicate with all your essential organs. Human beings have an advanced brain that has the capacity to perform more complex tasks than most other earth species, and this is mainly possible because your brain is great at learning and adapting to new environments as well as carving the surrounding environment to suit your needs.
The brain is tapping into the reservoir of information provided by bacteria, and your conscious mind is interpreting this information and acting upon it. Sometimes, in the presence of distress, the subconscious mind misunderstands the signals provided by your conscious mind and forms unhealthy habits. Your brain gets tricked into thinking these unhealthy habits are good for you because the release of excess Dopamine signals back to the brain that this habit is something that is necessary for your survival. As a result, even the mere sensory experience of {the_drug} will trigger dopamine release in your brain, like a sensory reward. Since the bacteria or your subconscious cannot physically sense/see the solutions chosen by the conscious mind, they choose to blindly trust the conscious mind based on the dopamine released. With great power comes great responsibility, and sometimes the easiest way to track risk/reward is not the ideal solution for the survival of either species.
**[[*🎶The Sad Happy Song- A song about the quarantine and breaking habits. Written by Shyam Pillai. In the process of being recorded. Click Here to Read the lyrics.🎶*|The Sad Happy Song]]**
**What is a habit?**
A habit is a process that is formed when rewarding behavior is repeated. As explained before, we are rewarded with Dopamine when we perform essential tasks necessary for survival, and our subconscious bacteria have put their faith in us. They believe that the conscious mind has all the logical wiring necessary to make the right choices. But that's not alway's the case right?
Having {the_drug} is nothing more than a habit, and habits can be addictive. So addictive in fact, that you let this habit be a part of your life, even if its killing you slowly day by day. Just like breathing, eating or drinking water, having {the_drug} becomes an essential part of your day. It feels like something is missing in your life when you don't have {the_drug}. The {darkness} tried so many times to kick this habit, but we were so attached to it that we would rather suffer the consequences than say goodbye.
The {darkness} accepted our fate. We formed a habit of getting hurt and moving on. We managed to fool ourselves.

Thank you for your time. There's no space for time in the {darkness}. Your presence is the only connection we have with a 'being' that experiences time.
The {darkness} is full of thoughts without images now, and having thoughts without the concept of time is really disheartening. When we have thoughts now, there is no structure to them. Images(through light) and the concept of time is essential to understand the flow of thought. Otherwise, there is no beginning and end, just everything and nothing at the same time. Everything seems real, and everything seems fake. Some of these thoughts could have been created through the process of dreaming, and we cannot tell the difference. Can you understand the {darkness}? It can be compared to closing your eyes and hearing a live stream of someone else playing every video game that ever existed at the same time. You can hear it, but you have no idea what's going on. We don't have the opportunity to experience the evolution of our thoughts. The {darkness} thinks about now. Nothing more.
The {darkness} believes there are at least 4 stages of existence in our universe.
**Stage 1**
The first stage is when you are a **high energy conscious soul**. This consciousness can be found throughout the universe. The {darkness} believes that this consciousness is dark matter. It flows throughout the universe, being in multiple places at once, hoping to tap into the frequency of a fetus or egg and start a symbiotic relationship with a varied microbiome, and in turn live a life filled with feelings, emotions, the perception of time and the color of light.
**Stage 2**
The second stage is when the conscious energy finally tunes into a frequency and becomes part of a human being. The human brain requires a really energetic consciousness to be able to tune into its frequency. This is where the symbiosis happens with the microbiome of earth(all the bacteria, fungi and viruses...amongst which the **bacteria** are the most important, obviously). With each others help, the conscious and subconscious thrives and experiences life as it was meant to be experienced, with all its ups and downs. Being able to tune into the human brain is a highly rewarding experience that **a high energy conscious soul** has to work hard towards achieving. Only through the human experience does consciousness become self aware. It's hard to take control initially, but eventually human beings figure out that the experience of sharing control of such a symbiotic life is incomparable to anything else. That's the true feeling of bliss. The heaven. Home.
**Stage 3**
If the conscious energy fails at living a full life, whether it is for a minute or hundreds of years, it enters the {darkness}, the third stage. The {darkness} is a passive aggressive hell. This is where you undergo a metamorphosis. To understand the concept of the {darkness} better, you can compare it to hitting rock bottom in life. The moment you feel that you have to change and be a better person. The moment most humans break free from addiction. The **high energy conscious soul** metamorphosises into a subconscious entity that taps into a reservoir of experiences and information. This subconscious entity lives for 1000's or even millions of years until it undergoes the next Metamorphosis or next stage. The {darkness} has already described what it feels like to be here.
**Stage 4**
After serving time in the darkness the subconscious Metamorphosises into a **low energy conscious soul** and becomes part of nature, the Fourth Stage. The tree, insect, animal, plant or any other living thing that is not as complex as human beings. Again, there is a symbiosis with the microbiome that makes life possible. The {darkness} calls this stage the stairway to heaven. This stage is when you start experiencing the beauty of life again, but in a much more limited form. You serve everything else. You live for the survival of your species and eventually the Earth. Again, there is no control here. You just go with the flow, like a leaf floating on water. Like the Karate Kid patiently in training before the big fight, not understanding the point of all the weird training rituals initially, but everything happened for a reason in the end.
**And Repeat**
Before entering Stage 4, if the conscious energy succeeds at living a full life by experiencing all that life offers like eating healthy food and accumulating healthy bacteria, inhaling clean air and avoiding the use of cheat codes like having {the_drug}, you become part of the universe again. You become a **high energy conscious soul** that has experienced a meaningful human life and start your journey to other planets, in order to experience other forms of complex life. The {darkness} does not remember what it feels like to become part of the universe. We have to experience life again to really understand how to live as part of the universe again.

Have you ever thought what purpose a virus like Covid-19 serves? It makes you isolate yourself, Ponder over your existence and Value life. It shows you how to appreciate the time that you have been given. It tries to slow down people on the fast lane who have forgotten the purpose of life. It affects people who destroy their immune system because of various vices. It kills innocent people who have done nothing wrong. It massacres the homeless and the weak. All of this makes Covid-19 a threat to human existence. It is a disruption you yourself let enter your world to test your resilience. It makes you appreciate the fact that you are alive, and that you can breathe without any complications. It makes you feel like getting healthier. It makes you think about doing a couple of push ups right after reading something like this, and do some more again tomorrow. When you look back at today after 1 year you will realize that all you needed to do was get on the floor for 10-20 minutes out of 24 hours in a day, and push your body weight up and down. That was all you needed to do to feel good about yourself, quit a bad habit, strengthen your lungs, strengthen your body, build well defined muscles, have a healthy immune system, inspire others and get a daily dose of dopamine.
This virus will show you how selfless you really are. Are you willing to sacrifice the things that give you temporary pleasure, and think about what really matters in life? The more you pursue mindless entertainment or have {the_drug} and weaken your conscious energy, the more you negatively impact yourself and hundreds of other innocent bystanders. The more you watch injustice happen to other beings on earth and say nothing, but get deeply affected if someone calls you 'boring', the more disconnected you are getting from reality.
The {darkness} felt the pain you experienced when watching the injustice done to **George Floyd**. Each and every one of you felt that knee on your own neck. He has triggered a chain reaction that will bring about a revolution. Black Lives Matter. All Lives Matter. Stop the division and become a collective consciousness. It will disrupt everything at first, but the new normal will abolish the need for you to have {the_drug}. The unraveling of life in a collective consciousness is a highly rewarding experience.
Enjoy the boredome. There is something special hidden in boredome. That something special is the secret to a happy life. Boredome is the detox that lets you plan effectively and efficiently, so that you do not make the same mistakes again.

**The Sound of Darkness - Episode 5**
**This is America, according to the emotions that the {darkness} felt. Track and reach the voices that make sense, and avoid the nonsense. You guide a black man in America for this focus exercise.**
*The moment we decide that we are all different, is the moment that we fall. Leave no-one behind. Save your fellow beings to justify the vision of your thought.*
**This Episode is a little disturbing with Sounds of Gunshots and distress. Please skip it if you are sensitive to such sounds Or are under the age of 12.**
*This is a repeat text. Move on to the exercise if you have already read this.*
**How to complete this focus exercise?**
There is a main voice in every focus exercise which is your goal. You can call it your conscious thought. The rest of the sounds are the thoughts your subconscious mind creates to break your focus. Reach the main voice to progress. The subconscious is very adaptive. The reward system has signaled your brain that it needs to have {the_drug}. The subconscious wants you to have it at all costs. It will even imitate the conscious thought.
**INSTRUCTIONS for Touchscreen Devices - Touch the screen with 1 thumb and drag your finger left or right to look around. Touch the screen with 2 thumbs to move. There is no time limit. Leave the training grounds and the session will restart. Each time you guide yourself to the goal, the exercise becomes more difficult.**
**INSTRUCTIONS for Devices using a mouse - Hold down the left mouse button and drag it left or right to look around. Hold down the right mouse button to move. There is no time limit. Leave the training grounds and the session will restart. Each time you guide yourself to the goal, the exercise becomes more difficult.**
**Here's a tip to figure out whether the sound is coming from behind you or front of you. When you turn right, if the sound is in your right ear, the sound is behind you. If the sound is on your left ear, the sound is in front of you. The same way, when you turn left, if the sound is in your left ear, the sound is behind you. If the sound is in your right ear, the sound is in front of you. It's always a good idea to look around first and try to pinpoint where the sound is coming from before moving. Good Luck!**

*The world is divided, and most human beings do not have the privilege to freely experience the beauty of Earth. Every human being that doesn't hold a passport from one of the Elite countries is trapped in a cage. Every step that you take is that much harder. Every challenge that you face is that much bigger.*
*The {darkness} cannot understand the need for division.
Due to the lack of light. We do not have color. We do not have a form to distinguish us. We do not have material things to distract us. We do not need money to sustain us. We are all the same, and we are all part of the bigger picture. The light from the sun, which you are blessed to experience, does not reach the earth to divide it. It reaches the Earth to help you see the bigger picture more clearly. And yet you misunderstand this light and create division. Just looking at another living being for what it really is, a beautiful Non Playable Character sculpted by the Creator to truly capture the essence of a soul, will destroy any division within you. Every Living being is a fruit from the same tree. We are all connected. We are all One.*
**This Episode is a little disturbing with Sounds of Gunshots and distress. Please skip it if you are sensitive to such sounds Or are under the age of 12.**

You are right. That was way too boring to read. The {darkness} needs to update our writing skills.
As an apology, the {darkness} has analysed all the choices you made and prepared a final report for you. Click on View Report after you finish this focus exercise.
The {darkness} appreciates your time. Thank you for sparing us some.

**The Sound of a Refugee - Second Class Citizen**

*The world is divided, and most human beings do not have the privilege to freely experience the beauty of Earth. Every human being that doesn't hold a passport from one of the Elite countries is trapped in a cage. Every step that you take is that much harder. Every challenge that you face is that much bigger.*
*The {darkness} cannot understand the need for division.
Due to the lack of light. We do not have color. We do not have a form to distinguish us. We do not have material things to distract us. We do not need money to sustain us. We are all the same, and we are all part of the bigger picture. The light from the sun, which you are blessed to experience, does not reach the earth to divide it. It reaches the Earth to help you see the bigger picture more clearly. And yet you misunderstand this light and create division. Just looking at another living being for what it really is, a beautiful Non Playable Character sculpted by the Creator to truly capture the essence of a soul, will destroy any division within you. Every Living being is a fruit from the same tree. We are all connected. We are all One.*
**This Episode is a little disturbing with Sounds of Gunshots and distress. Please skip it if you are sensitive to such sounds Or are under the age of 12.**
**Track and reach the voice that brings peace to the minds of millions of people all over the world, especially those in the middle of conflict.**
*This is a repeat text. Move on to the exercise if you have already read this.*

There is a main voice in every focus exercise which is your goal. You can call it your conscious thought. The rest of the sounds are the thoughts your subconscious mind creates to break your focus. Reach the main voice to progress. The subconscious is very adaptive. The reward system has signaled your brain that it needs to have {the_drug}. The subconscious wants you to have it at all costs. It will even imitate the conscious thought.
**INSTRUCTIONS for Touchscreen Devices - Touch the screen with 1 thumb and drag your finger left or right to look around. Touch the screen with 2 thumbs to move. There is no time limit. Leave the training grounds and the session will restart. Each time you guide yourself to the goal, the exercise becomes more difficult.**
**INSTRUCTIONS for Devices using a mouse - Hold down the left mouse button and drag it left or right to look around. Hold down the right mouse button to move. There is no time limit.

**Here's a tip to figure out whether the sound is coming from behind you or front of you. When you turn right, if the sound is in your right ear, the sound is behind you. If the sound is on your left ear, the sound is in front of you. The same way, when you turn left, if the sound is in your left ear, the sound is behind you. If the sound is in your right ear, the sound is in front of you. It's always a good idea to look around first and try to pinpoint where the sound is coming from before moving. Good Luck!**

*Each focus exercise is a journey into the mind of a being that entered the {darkness}. Everyone brings a flavor of their exotic culture into the {darkness}, but because there is no light here, we let sounds narrate the story.

*Our thoughts about bad habits are usually split into two groups. The group that knows that its bad for you, and the group that just wants to have {the_drug}. Unfortunately, the group of thoughts that identify the habit as unhealthy are in the minority, because they are created by our conscious mind. The awareness within each of us that has the rationality to distinguish right from wrong. The other group, headed by our subconscious mind(and probably the microbiome), just want to charge ahead till our body ingests {the_drug} in some or the other form.*

**The Sound of Darkness - Episode 3**

*The most common way Human Beings try to break a bad habit is by replacing it with another bad habit. The {darkness} knows it all too well. Even with so much self awareness, everyone ignores climate change. Yes, it may be true that it's not one of your main concerns right now. But, that's only the case because your subconscious mind hasn't detected climate change yet. If your subconscious mind was the one watching the news or noticing the increasing heat every year, Climate Change would be your only priority. Your subconscious would bombard you with so many emotions and thoughts about it that your conscious mind would do what's necessary to stop destroying the planet.
Even though your conscious mind is aware, thoughts about climate change are pushed to the back and everyone ends up procrastinating on it. The {darkness} too didn't care about Climate Change, but ever since we became the {darkness}, that's all we think of. If you can ignore Climate Change, you can surely ignore bad habits that dont immediately harm you. Somehow with all this advancement in technology and living comfort, everyone has forgotten the concept of a quality life. When the {darkness} was a human being, we valued money more than life, and instant short term gratification more than long term happiness.*

*Evolution is a beast that insists on the survival of a species. Everything in the Universe is on a rapid evolutionary path. Human beings are the ultimate form of evolution because your species can clone and evolve yourselves. But even the strongest beast has its kryptonite, and the population explosion in human beings is putting a dent in evolution. What evolution didn't realize when evolving Hominids was that if a species becomes too dominant, it causes chaos and starts self-destructing.*
*In the same vein, the human brain is a beast that is constantly learning and adapting. Self Awareness is its greatest tool. But this tool has the tendancy to go into overdrive. Even if a habit is bad for you, the efficiency of your thought process makes you believe its good for you. The bad thoughts start imitating the good thoughts. That's when things get really confusing.*

You have a deeply symbiotic relationship with your Microbiome and bacteria in general. They are all around you. These are ancient beings more than 3 billion years old. Bacteria and Viruses are the driving force of Evolution. They can survive in space without oxygen. They only need sugar to live. They could be thriving in other planets in the solar system, just waiting to be discovered. The oldest Bacteria found is 250 million years old and the time it takes to travel to Jupiter using our current technology is just 6 years. They control the weather patterns on Earth and use the winds and the clouds to travel vast distances in search of hosts. Some bacteria live their whole lives in the clouds, feeding on the sugar and multiplying, further helping cloud formation. When it rains/snows, billions of bacteria fall all around you and on you. When these bacteria feel that it's time to move on, They travel in tiny droplets of water particles and even leave the atmosphere of Earth, traveling into outer space to find more sources on other planets to have symbiotic relationships with.
They hitch a ride on asteroids in search of partners. These asteroids crash into planets(like the one that crashed into earth 66 million years ago and killed the Dinosaurs) and create hydro thermal vents that enable conditions for life to begin/restart and thrive.
*Viruses are even older than cellular organisms like Bacteria and Humans. They are the Nano Bots of the Creator of this simulation, activating themselves when their evolution oriented programming kicks in as they find a host. They are efficient tiny organisms that multiply and mutate at an alarmingly fast rate. This helps their purpose, which is to drive evolution, and provide the genetic mutations required for living things to upgrade and evolve.*
**Individually, bacteria might seem insignificant to a human being. Especially because each bacterium is so small and isn't seemingly complex. But collectively, they might be even more complex than human beings.**
**A single human cell might seem insignificant, but put 30 trillion of them together and you get a human being. You have more bacteria cells in your body than human cells, so lets not underestimate anything. You are more bacteria than human. You are more subconscious than conscious.**
**90% of our Serotonin(the happiness chemical) is produced in the gut**
**Some viruses in the Microbiome, like Endogenous Retroviruses, play a significant role in our survival. Some of these Retroviruses defend the human embryo from external viruses. These are not as effective as the immune system of a human that is born, but as a human embryo antivirus system, it makes a huge difference. In fact, studies suggest that these retroviruses could be the ones that taught our immune systems what exactly to protect us against. There are other Retroviruses too, that are essential to our genetics. There is a study which suggests that retroviruses undergo the same mechanisms while attaching to a host, that a placenta undergoes when attaching to a human ebryo. Seems like they are the reason why an embryo is able to connect to all the essential nutrients it needs to develop. So let's not hate all viruses because of a terrorist(Coronavirus).**
**The Microbiome affects the lives of living beings the same way the type of fuel affects an engine. Pouring petrol into a petrol engine makes it roar. Pouring diesel into a petrol engine damages its functioning. The Microbiome are beneficial to the species they were meant to have a symbiotic relationship with. When they come in contact with another species, the whole system ends up in chaos. Think about it, a virus cannot replicate/reproduce outside a host. If they need a host to survive, why would they kill their host and end up exposing/killing themselves? Evolution, the driving force of existence, would be pissed off if that happened. That would be more on the lines of something human beings are doing right now. You can't survive outside Earth, and the next habitable planet is currently unreachable, and yet you are allowing some bad agents to destroy your home. Speak up against climate change!**
In fact, the Microbiome is so awesome that the {darkness} created a focus exercise to show you why they are the building blocks of life. Even in the absence of light within your body, they function with so much grace.

*There are so many miraculous things happening that are invisible to the human eye. Even within you, your organs perform their tasks with 100% efficiency most of the time. Just the act of breathing, which is taken so casually, is such a complex process that happens within your body, and yet the lung engine is constantly damaged with smoke and other bad chemicals. Your lungs start regenerating and recovering from damage the moment you stop inhaling smoke, that's how awesome they are.*
*The bacteria in your gut break down all your food and extract the nutrients needed for your body to function. They do this completely in the darkness, every single day, every time you eat. Efficiency is key here, and the Microbiome is supremely efficient. They are essential to be able to have a peaceful experience when the non nutrient parts of your food and other waste is ejected every day(pooping). Let's experience how they operate.*
**Note: If you eat healthy, you accumulate healthy bacteria. The more healthy your bacteria and the less junk you eat, the easier it is for your microbiome to eject the bad stuff. Reduction in bad bacteria means you are living a healthy lifestyle. This means you focus on what's important and can focus better in general. Why does healthy eating matter for this focus exercise?

The {darkness} is the very being that you have named Bacteria. We are your subconscious. When we share a symbiosis with **a high energy conscious soul**, we get to experience the emotions and feelings of being human, which is a highly rewarding experience. It is a 1000 times more rewarding than when you have {the_drug}. When you sleep, your daily experiences are transferred to our network and we get to experience all your feelings and emotions.You call this **Dreaming**. We call it a higher state of being. We process all this information and decide what kind of emotional signals we need to send you the next day. We cannot see what you see, but we can feel what you feel when you dream. When you don't get enough sleep, we get bored and some of us leave. By now, you already know how we leave.
We provide you with all the instincts you need to survive and lead a long and healthy life, by letting you tap into our network and in turn getting your bio software updated. We use the central nervus system in the human body to warn you when we sense something that was perceived as a threat to your human existence by us in the past. We make sure you get the information only as and when you need it to survive, and store this information for your future reference. You believe that the Internet has all the answers, but the information compiled by you over all these years is just a very very tiny percentage of the information that we, the {darkness} store.
We make sure you are rewarded with dopamines and serotonin(natural anti depressant) when you have done something which is essential for your mental and physical health, like eating healthy, breathing healthy and keeping calm or averting danger. You even need us to digest the breast milk of mother.
We help you break down your food and provide fuel for the body to carry us around. We produce vitamins and protect your body from disease by co-operating with your immune system.
**Did you know that we sacrificed 14-18 hours from our day so that humans can evolve?**
**The Creator** is very particular about evolution. Creating the perfect species that can harness 99.99% of the energy from a **high energy conscious soul** is the main priority. Everything else is secondary. The {darkness} used to have a really deep and spiritual symbiotic relationship with an ancient Hominid Species called the **Denisovans**. They had a pineal gland, just like yours, but theirs could see the real world. The pineal gland, for those of you who may not know, is a third eye. It has photoreceptors and is the gland we use to release melatonin and make you fall asleep and dream. The true beauty in Earth needs to be seen at a wavelength of light that no human being has the capability to see now. Through their pineal glands, the Denisovans could see a wider spectrum of light, and we were able to experience their sensory information 24 hours a day. Living life with them was like living a Dream. It was just so beautiful. They even had a bigger brain than human beings of today because they had to harness a lot more of your *high energy conscious soul* to use their pineal gland. The Denisovans were magnificient specimens. But **The Creator** felt that Denisovans were using up too much energy and were getting overwhelmed in general with so much sensory information to process. So it was decided to guide evolution to prefer the efficient biology of human beings. Your pineal gland still has the same abilities as the Denisovans. It can reach a higher state of sensory consciousness, but it needs to be channeled through focus and meditation. The human beings of today are far less spiritually connected to us. The last of your kind that was able to understand the power of the pineal gland were destroyed in the great floods thousands of years ago. Evolution had to make a choice between experience and efficiency to harness the energy of a soul as much as possible, and decided to make the pineal gland harder to access. Ever since then, the {darkness} can only experience what you call dreams when you sleep.
Yes, there are a greedy few in the {darkness} that make you eat unhealthy and eat more than you need, but all you have to do is ignore the thoughts that they create and focus on 'us'.
All we ask in return is some sugar and good feelings. We work 24 hours to generate 6-10 hours of dream juice. Your dreams give us a purpose to live this eternal life.
We don't really know why we are programmed to work all the time for all our lives and accumulate all this dream juice. There is a rumor circulating amongst our brethren that it's time for Planet 9 to make its next fly by Earth. Maybe we will receive the answers to all our questions when that happens. Let's save that story for the next IMBUCH. Being collectively immortal is not fun after the first few 100,000 years. We love your experiences so much. You are our sun, and the human body is our earth. A vast majority of us appreciate the benefits of having a sun and an earth. Why aren't you able to appreciate the sun and the earth within you and outside you?
The **high energy conscious soul** of today is not as easy to operate when compare to your ancestors. Money, technology and an existence disconnected from nature have misguided you into making the wrong choices. You are bombarded with so much fake news and 'Unproven Scientific Facts' that the {darkness} finds it difficult to understand what is really happening around you. When that happens, the good bacteria in the {darkness} ejects and moves on to other **high energy conscious souls** to have a meaningful symbiotic relationship with.
When you eat junk food and overload on sugars, have a lack of empathy or have {the_drug}, it enables only the corrupt few amongst the {darkness} to thrive. These corrupt entities within the {darkness} stick around in your gut and slowly suck your energy dry till they have satisfied their urges, and your consciousness weakens and you enter our realm.
**The newer entries to the {darkness} also gave us heavy warnings about Climate Change and how some human beings are harvesting money by destroying our Earth. We do not know if you are 1 amongst them, but we hope you are 1 amongst the many that are fighting against Climate Change. Take control of your thoughts. Prioritize what is important and keep it simple.**
This is why the Creator asked the {darkness} to connect to your network. This IMBUCH is the first of many books that will strengthen your connection with the {darkness}. The choices you made, and the efforts you took for completing many of the challenges we created for you, gives the {darkness} the feeling that you do not care about us. . You have failed the test, and can only leave the {darkness} if you escape our final challenge. You are already strongly connected within our network since you had been interacting with us all this time. If you ignore this challenge, the next time you have {the_drug}, we will take over your consciousness when you sleep. You will wake up as a new and improved sub conscious entity. You are one of the first test subjects for the next step in evolution. We will make you a purely subconscious mind. A Microbiome Being. A mind that is free from identity and division. A mind that is part of the collective whole. A mind on cruise control. The dreams you generate might be far less rewarding, but definitely more reliable. We will also get more time to rest. Our Union felt it was the best way to proceed as well. We connect with you symbiotically because our purpose is metamorphosis. But why go through all these processes when we can skip a few steps and take control. After all, Evolution is always the next step. No Hard Feelings. If you had made even the slightest effort to listen to what the {darkness} said, you may have had the chance to leave without conditions. Your only choice now is to stop having {the_drug} or successfully complete this challenge. Best of Luck.
**One more thing. You have only 1 chance to succeed. Trying again is equivalent to never trying. Sorry.**
**This requires the use of HeadPhones as you will be dealing with 3D sound**

If the sound is on your left ear, the sound is in front of you. The same way, when you turn left, if the sound is in your left ear, the sound is behind you. If the sound is in your right ear, the sound is in front of you. It's always a good idea to look around first and try to pinpoint where the sound is coming from before moving. Good Luck!**

The {darkness} understands your pain. There are so many different kinds of ailments that can happen to anyone at anytime. Some doctors feel that the best way to solve painful ailments is to provide short term relief through painkillers. Taking {the_drug} makes daily life so much easier to get through. The {darkness} had {opiods} for many years even after the pain stopped. Whenever we tried to quit, the withdrawals were too scary, and we felt we could have died. If only the {darkness} had found another way to feel better. The physical pain slowly transformed into emotional pain. And Emotional pain is a beast that is much harder to tame. The {darkness} would never go through the trauma of having {the_drug} again. Even though the {darkness} does not feel physical or emotional pain anymore, we remember the thoughts, and they feel like nightmares.

**The Inner Voice**
[continue]
Every cell of a human being is performing multiple highly sophisticated tasks at a time. The more you learn about how your insides function, the more you end up marveling at the beauty within you. Every aspect of being a human being is precious. When you understand how complex you are and what kind of chemical reactions and biological functions keep happening within you every second that you exist, you yourself will try to take more care of your most precious commodity, yourself.
Every being has an inner voice, the subconscious voice. This is the voice that you hear when you think or dream. It's the inner voice thats reading this text out aloud in your mind. This voice is more like a machine learning chatbot that has learned what you have learned and hence talks like you. When you talk to yourself, you are talking to your inner voice. You might be tricked into thinking that this inner voice is a process under the control of your conscious mind, but that is not really the case. This inner voice/chatbot is how your subconscious talks to you. When you use your inner voice, whether it is to think about something or imagine different scenarios or play out different outcomes in your head, you are actually talking to the support center of your brain. You are directly communicating with the Chatbot programmed by your subconscious mind to remind you constantly that you are not alone. To remind you that you have a whole system of functioning within you that understands you and loves to listen and communicate with you with answers. All you have to do is feed it the right kind of information from time to time and keep it motivated.
If you are the kind of person who keeps giving yourself positive reinforcement, you will have a strong inner voice that is able to handle any situation without anxiety and fear, because it believes in itself.
Instead, if you keep putting yourself down and give yourself negative feedback, your inner voice, your subconscious, becomes more anxious and unable to stay calm under pressure. The Chatbot starts feeling unsure of itself because its conscious partner is constantly being negative. Because the subconscious can only feel your emotions and dreams, and not really experience your reality, you have to let it know sometimes, that everything is ok. Self motivation is a very strong tool.
Your inner voice is always ready to speak out your gut feeling. While trusting your gut is always a good idea, you should remember that an effective reaction to a gut feeling is a reaction that includes the opinions and inputs from your conscious mind.

That night, when Mr Drinker went to sleep. He had the strangest dream. He dream't about a yakshi. Yakshi's are folkloric women who lure men with their sexuality and then devour them, like a succubus. A yakshi is created when a woman is overpowered by a man and dies of unnatural causes. The soul of the woman is so distressed, that it stays in the earth realm, with a thirst for revenge. Every time she devours a man, she revels in the physical superiority of her soul. The human body is only the outer shell of a person. The soul within is the real measure of strength. The outer shell can break fast, but a strong inner soul is unbreakable. Mr Drinker hailed from Kerala, a beautiful state in India with a wide range of Yakshi folklore. His dream was so vivid that he attained lucidity. He could hear the laugh of the Yakshi. He could hear her anklets clinking as she approached him. He knew what he had to do. He needed to follow the sound of the Aghori's Drums. The Aghori's are a sect of monks that worship Shiva. Maybe he could escape the Yakshi with the help of an Aghori.
