I had a dream

I had a dream

No you didn't - you were imagining it

Er - whatever

Gnomiki gnomiki

What are you doing?

I'm calling the gnomiki

Well obviously but why - what are you planning to do with them?

Oh this and that

You can't just call the gnomiki without a clear plan

No

You might annoy them

Yes?

Yes

Ok - I've had an idea

Yes?

Gnomiki gnomiki

Wait a minute... you're calling them again

Yes

But what's your plan

Oh nothing much

But I thought we agreed - you can't just call them on a whim, unless you've got a clear plan. They've got better things to do than run around amusing you

Ok - ah, there you are

There who is?

The gnomiki

I don't see anyone

Well they aren't really anyone. They're kind of energy but to me they look like cute little things

Can you make them appear to me

Yes

Go on then

They said you've got to roll around on your back and make doggy noises

You're taking the piss aren't you

No, I'm just telling you what they said

I'm not going to make an idiot of myself to please the gnomiki

No, I understand

So where are they

Here. Look, if you don't want to play around, that's understandable

Why can't they just appear

They have. They said the same in fact - why can't you just see. At the moment apparently you're filtering them out.

No, I'm not.

Precisely, "no" and "not". That's the energy they were referring to.

Look, I've got better things to do than mess around with your imaginary friends.

Ok Fair enough

So I'll be off then

Right. See you later.......   Ok, he's gone. You can come out now. No, I wanna be a shark. You can be a centaur. [somewhere in a parallel universe the world's ills are played away and we wonder where they have all mysteriously gone...]

Hang on a minute - doesn't that violate the principles of non-intervention and free will?

Yes, kind of, but playing around doesn't impose hard and fast solutions, and to the casual observer it looks like it's just a game

O
