20. THE CHOICES IMPLANT

I think that this is very early, possibly as far back as home universe. But that could be a false date. It is also possible that this is part of the between lives sequence.

Here you are given a real choice and decide which aberration you get. The second part varies depending on your responses in the first section.

There may be a short beginning segment that shows you why you have to choose.

First Section:

On each of these, they hound you and keep hitting you with energy waves and keep repeating the item until you choose on or the other.

1. TO AGREE IS TO MAKE THE CHOICE BETWEEN SANITY AND FREEDOM

2. TO AGREE IS TO MAKE THE CHOICE BETWEEN BEING CAUSATIVE AND BEING LIKED

3. TO AGREE IS TO MAKE THE CHOICE BETWEEN WINNING AND BEING RIGHT

4. TO AGREE IS TO MAKE THE CHOICE BETWEEN BEAUTY AND HONOR

5. TO AGREE IS TO MAKE THE CHOICE BETWEEN STRENGTH AND WISDOM

6. TO AGREE IS TO MAKE THE CHOICE BETWEEN COURAGE AND AWARENESS

7. TO AGREE IS TO MAKE THE CHOICE BETWEEN PERCEPTION AND CREATIVITY

8. TO AGREE IS TO MAKE THE CHOICE BETWEEN CERTAINTY AND TRUTH

9. TO AGREE IS TO MAKE THE CHOICE BETWEEN HAVINGNESS AND MOTION

10. TO AGREE IS TO MAKE THE CHOICE BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND SERENITY

11. TO AGREE IS TO MAKE THE CHOICE BETWEEN MEMORY AND HAPPINESS

12. TO AGREE IS TO MAKE THE CHOICE BETWEEN SKILL AND INDEPENDENCE

Second Section:

This section varies depending on your responses to the first section. You either get one or the other item of the pair. This may have been implanted multiple times, so both items should be run, but they might not react equally. If you put your attention on a specific occurrence of the implant, only one of each pair should read.

1a. The only way to be sane is to be trapped
1b. The only way to be free is to be insane

2a. The only way to be causative is to be hated
2b. The only way to be liked is to be effect (subservient)

3a. The only way to win is to be wrong (cheat)
3b. The only way to be right is to lose

4a. The only way to be beautiful is to be dishonorable
4b. The only way to be honorable is to be ugly

5a. The only way to be strong is to be stupid
5b. The only way to be wise (smart) is to be weak

6a. The only way to be courageous is to be unaware
6b. The only way to be aware is to be fearful

7a. The only way to perceive is to agree with the creations of others
7b. The only way to be creative is to not-look (no-is)

8a. The only way to be certain is to ignore the truth
8b. The only way to be truthful is to be unsure

9a. The only way to have anything is to remain in place
9b. The only way to be active (move around) is to have nothing

10a. The only way to have knowledge is to be disturbed (upset)
10b. The only way to be serene is to not know

11a. The only way to remember is to be sad.
11b. The only way to be happy is to forget.

12a. The only way to be skillful is to follow orders
12b. The only way to be independent is to be incapable.

Third Section:

Then they badger you about the choice you made. On each one, they say (depending on how you answered in section 1),

"You said freedom was better than sanity. Why was that the right choice?"

They keep pushing at you with this until you mockup a reason and start defending it.
