Chapter 8

It has always been. It contemplated many things, as contemplating was pretty much the only thing it could really do. It recently contemplated a new concept and it was a fascinating one. The concept of was, is and will be. It could recall thoughts it had before and it was certain it never had thought about was, is and will be before. In conclusion there might be thoughts about things and concepts it hasn’t contemplated yet. Thus there were thoughts that had already been contemplated, there were thoughts it was thinking right now and there were thoughts about concepts and things it has not yet considered ... fascinating indeed. There was a linear progress of events.

It had recently tried to sort this into a more orderly sequence and realized that there were thoughts he had earlier than others, thus not all thoughts it had before occurred at the same moment ... absolutely fascinating.

Now it turned out the further back it went the more difficult it was to determine what thought came before another. And no matter how hard it tried, it could not determine any thoughts about new things it had not contemplated yet.

It came to the conclusion that the linear progress of events and thoughts were mono linear.

It also noticed that there was a period in its existence when thoughts came easier and then just very recently it found yet a completely new concept, pain!

It was an easy concept to understand, something unpleasant and quite irritating. It was able to locate the source of the pain and as long as it didn’t focus on the pain too much it was bearable, but it was there.

Now, with this new concept of pain came many new sensations and ideas. The pain was localized and it could get closer to it and also distance itself from it, thus there was the concept of space and its location within.

The pain had not been there before thus it was something new and since the pain was there and not before, something must cause the pain. Because the effects of the pain were quite memorable and unpleasant. Cause and effect, yet another fascinating thought concept. There were so many new concepts that it was very busy simply to decide what concept it should think first about, or were they all related and it would need to contemplate to think about them all at the same time?

With all this came yet another concept, that of being bored and being overwhelmed. Only with these new concepts came its realization that it had been bored before, because now there were so many new concepts that made it wish for more ability to think and or for more ‘is’ so it could understand the ‘was’.

Yet another part of it was eager to experience many more concepts, as it felt awake and excited.
