CHAPTER 4
The Code
The room where Chris, Miguel, and Alan were living was separated into three small cells. Alan's bed was next to the window. On the right side, he had his own small library with around forty books placed on bookshelves next to his bed. On a small table, made of dark wood, at the left side of the bed, just beneath the windows, were photos of his family and Anika.
Alan had his laptop in the hospital, on which he was programming and experimenting with new code. Especially tonight, he was very excited. Something he was waiting for a long time was finally with him. In his hands, he was holding the disk with the source code, which could potentially lead to the fall of the system, as they knew it. Very carefully, he took the media and placed it in his laptop. ” Finally, all those years of work, struggle, risks, and pain could end very soon,” he thought.
He was totally immersed with the algorithm, studying it bit by bit. It was a brilliant work written by his friend. The exploring of the program took him the whole night, but he was full with enthusiasm and determination. Somehow, an endless flow of energy was going through his body and he could work for hours without stopping and without feeling tired. He was outside of the so—called time. In these moments, he was connected with the source and his existence was floating… He was timeless. It was 7 a.m. when Alan finished exploring and working on the new idea of that program. He sent a message to Anika to let her know that everything was ok and to thank Heops for the good work. He looked through the window. The Sun was slowly rising up, reminding him that there was not much time left before they begin their operation. The sunrays were making their way through the darkness, through space, touching every particle on its way and finally reaching Earth. The night was long. Alan left his laptop on the table and immediately fell asleep.
The day was passing as usual. People were gathering outside and enjoying the last warmth of the autumn. Some were playing chess, others were chatting, walking and some were just sitting on the benches, feeling the slow wind carrying the last memories of the season. This day Chris's son was going to come and meet with Alan to discuss the new book he gave him. Mike was intrigued by the idea of being in control of his life and wanted to know more about it. After all, according to Alan, the book was describing a small part of how life works and once knowing that, one can use the methods from the book to manifest what they have imagined. Mike came sometime in the early afternoon and saw Alan sleeping. He decided to spend some time playing chess with his father, or just having a light talk about life and the book. Chris was outside, sitting on one of the chess tables with a book in his hands. It looked to Mike that he was puzzled by something, or at least it seemed so. He asked him smiling:
“Father, can I interrupt you for a moment?”
“What a surprise Mike, and as I can see you are bringing me a book, perhaps…”
“Hmm, yes I am bringing you this book but not to read it, to talk about it. Maybe you can give me your opinion.”
“You are always welcome to ask for an advice. What is the book about?”
“Well, Alan gave it to me. It is about the Higher Mind and the way it works. Do you know something about it?”
“I am afraid I don't know much. If you explain to me what you understood from it, I may be able to tell you something from my point of view and experience.”
“According to the book, the Higher Mind represents our guide as you can call it. And somehow, this guide could help us change our lives if we know how to use it or talk to it as we may say. They say it's the conceiver. We are made of our conscious and subconscious mind. It is still not clear to me exactly what happens in the mind and how can this inner mind change something, which can only be changed physically…?”
“Son, I will tell you how I see it. During our lifetimes, we must do what we love to do. Of course, sometimes it might be very difficult and you might struggle to get it, but if you believe, be confident and determined to do what you have to do, when you have to do it, I have no doubt that you will soon get what you desire. I started working at an early age and have been doing so many things like cleaning dishes, digging, working on building sites, in a hospital, restaurants, factories and some others. I didn't like working in these places because I didn't want to do these jobs, but occasionally you have to sacrifice in order to get where you want to be. Later in my life, I took a decision to stop what I was doing and thought for some time, until I decided to start doing what I really wanted. Life is not only running, you have to stop now and then to look around and see in front of you, behind you and think where you stand. If you don't like your position, you could change your direction. First, I had to be really sure what I wanted to do. It was not easy I must admit. And if it was not for one strange man who I met, maybe I would have never found what I really had to be doing. His words were simple: “Follow your curiosity and the rest will follow.” If you have a clear specific idea of what you want to do in your life, then you are half way there. You should consider failure as something normal and not something, which is stopping you. Failure, suffering, and pain are not bad things. You can measure where you stand by the failures you have had. They teach you so much, that without them one cannot achieve anything. You see, I actually understood that if you were not ready to receive something in your life, it would not come to your mind in a first place. By that, I mean whatever you desire and want to have or to be, you have the ability to achieve it and everything will come to you when you are ready to understand it. No matter how difficult it might seem. It is up to you whether you will give up when the first difficult moment come or keep walking forward. Life is strange my son. Even if you have achieved success, life will always be checking you. It will be always making sure that you are the same strong motivated person you were before. The more you try to understand it, the more little you would feel. Establishing a clear idea about what brings you most joy in life is the first step of creating a good and enjoyable life. Son, I am afraid I cannot tell you more. I hope this would help you understand your path and give you strength.”
“Father, you told me so much and I think I understood half of it. What you stressed was that I have to be clear about what I enjoy the most and to follow my curiosity. And failure would be teaching me things in order to advance in my life. Is that so?”
“Although I knew you would be little confused, I think you remembered the most important things. When you finish your plan, we can talk about it and maybe I can help you with some ideas?”
“That would be great dad, I will. Now I will go upstairs to see Alan, I just saw him on the terrace. Thanks for the conversation. It is always a pleasure talking to you.”
For Chris, every moment spend with his family was precious. He was watching his kids growing, how they developed different skills and formed their characters. He was glad that he had brought up his children that way.
Mike was running upstairs, ready to meet with Alan, filled with impatience to absorb all information from the book. At that time, Alan was on the balcony chatting with one of his friends from the hospital, sharing some jokes as they both were laughing. When he saw Mike, he politely asked his company to leave and greeted his friend:
“Mike, I am glad you are here.”
“I am ready to talk about the book you gave me.”
“Great, let us go for a walk.” Both of them went quickly downstairs and sat on a bench next to the river.
“How do you feel about the book? Do you find it interesting?” Alan asked.
“I didn't grasp some of the main ideas. As I understood, the subconscious mind can control your physical world and can shape your future. You know, I think this cannot be all true and at the same time, I am open for new ideas.”
“You got the main idea of the material right. I will try to explain it as simple as I can. Every person consists of a higher mind and a physical mind. If you only use the physical mind — your brain, you will function as a half person. That is because the brain has not been designed to see what
could possibly happen in the future. It cannot guess or calculate possible outcomes. If you try to do so, you will become more confused and mentally exhausted. Even worse, trying to guess a possible outcome will actually limit your possibilities for achieving your goals. That task is for the higher mind to do. Both physical and higher minds represent you as a whole. I would not go deeper than that, but this is how I can explain it to you. There is always a connection between them. The higher mind is always sending you guidance and it's up to you to use it in a positive and constructive way, so you and the people around you, can benefit from it. When a person for example wants to change his hairstyle, he usually goes to a barber. He sits on the chair, looks at himself and explains what he prefers. After the barber is finished, he looks at his reflection again and now he sees the change, which is reflected in the mirror. Now imagine that in that example the reflection is the man's outside world. The important is that to change the reflection, or his image, the barber had to change it for him. In that case, the barber is the higher mind, and the hairstyle he was doing, represents an idea that the man had. When he finished, the reflection had no other choice but to reflect the new image. He couldn't change it just by looking at it or wishing to get better. The same is with your life. If you just sit and hope that your life would change in the direction you want, it will never happen. As in the example, you have to make the change within yourself first, and then the physical world will have no other choice but to reflect that change. Simply said, the outside world is a mirror, and whatever you put into your mind, the same would be reflected sooner or later in the physical world. As they say: if you want to know what is inside your head… just look around.”
Alan continued: “When you tell your inner mind what you want, it goes to work and brings you exactly where you have to be. It is always trying to find solutions to your problems and to bring you the situations you need in order to succeed. Most of the time it gives you more than you have expected. Remember, dealing with the subconscious is not as easy as it might seem. You have to be persistent and have faith that it is doing what needs to be done, and it will get you where you have to be. Never doubt it or judge it based on the outside world. Never lose hope and always trust yourself. Let me mention that it is a fact that as soon as you want to be or do something different in your life, and start activating your inner mind, problems, and setbacks might come, but that's inevitable. For something new to come in, you must make space first. You have to be ready if you experience setbacks and program yourself to be strong, to never give—up when these moments come. Train yourself to consciously notice when a problem comes, and realize, that it is not a problem per say, but an opportunity to teach you a valuable lesson that will bring you closer to where you want to go. You know the end destination, but what we cannot predict is how you would get there. Many people try to foresee or to think about how, where and when they will achieve their goal. The physical mind is only here to observe. This is when the art of the higher mind is taking place. It knows everything and can bring you anything in your life during your life. Your task is to enjoy the ride and believe that the higher mind knows where and how you will get what you want. Keep in mind that it cannot differentiate between good and bad, whatever you put in, you will get out. For now, this is enough about this topic. I want you to go and think about the things I told you and how you can benefit from them. This coming Sunday we will talk again.”
“My head is going to explode, you have told me so many things, that I feel more confused than ever. This entire concept is new to me and I want to learn about it, but maybe I should go slowly and not getting too mixed—up from the beginning.”
“The pitfall of the humanity is that they all know these things, but only few are actually implementing them,” Alan sighed…“I told you exactly what you needed to know for now. Next time if you feel confused or just full of information, let me know. I would like you to read about how to help other people with your thoughts and how thoughts can affect large groups of people and even our planet Earth. The information is in the book.”
“Ok, everything sound so interesting and at the same time I think that all this is not possible. My brain is fighting with the new concept. For the next time I will try to understand, if I can, about the things you told me.”
“Mike, for understanding is not quite easy to do. Just let these new ideas sink deep in your mind and sleep with them. You would know how to use that knowledge at the right moment for you. Now, let's get back and see if your father is winning.”
Mike's head was full of thoughts. Small fragments of what Alan said were banging on the walls of his head. All the information he got was mixed and was everywhere in his mind. He could not concentrate on one thing. As soon as he remembers something, another thing popped up simultaneously and made everything one big cloud of information. Alan noticed that but just let his friend deal with it by himself. As they were walking back, Anika surprised them with her appearance just from nowhere.
“Anika! Glad to see you,” Alan said surprised. “Mike, I told Anika that you got the book and you a very interested in it. She also read it couple of times.”
“Anika, I don't know how you understood it, but I am having a hard time accepting the new concepts.”
“Try to let go of judgment and expectations Mike. It is all easy to understand as soon as you let go and start practicing the methods. When you see how it works by yourself, you will be confident and more powerful than before. It all takes time. Now, are you ready for your first task? I mean we were thinking if you actually could start practicing the guidance from the book. That way you will soon grasp the main idea.”
Alan mentioned that he forgot to tell him about that, as he was engaged in the explanation.
“Yes, of course I want to try it guys, but how and what do I have to do?” Mike replied excited.
“Ok, so choose something, which you really desire, something you want to have or achieve in a short term. Something that makes you feel good,” suggested Alan.
“Hmmm. It is difficult to say, when you actually start thinking about it. What do I really want…? Hey, I actually never thought about that! I don't know what I want. Maybe I want to have a good job and to have my own apartment where my girlfriend and I can live as you guys.”
Alan interrupted him:
“You don't have to tell us right now, you can go home and think about it, and when you are ready you can tell us.”
“Thanks, you are great. I will do that, and I hope it will not be that difficult as it feels now. I just can't think what I want. It is so strange.”
“Don't worry Mike. You are twenty years old now. Do you think that all the people at your age know exactly what they want to do? As you grow up and go to school, people are telling you that you have to orientate into certain subject and that you have to study this and enroll in that University or some Colleges. The truth is that most students don't know what they really want to do until they grow up a little bit more. They just choose what their parents want them to study, or just something, which their friends are studying, or just something, that is easy to pass. The pressure that has been created by the schools is unnecessary, and easily could be avoided by simply leave the students to select by themselves when they are ready. They would be able to choose what to study when they are young, only if the education system change and the kids are taught subjects, which will increase their awareness and knowledge about real life. In a matter of fact, you can see people over forty or fifty years who still do not know what they want to do. In fact, at that age these people are tightly bonded with their own lives, thinking about other things. So, take your time, just think of a something that you fully enjoy doing, that you are curious and passionate about. I am sure it will come to you.” Alan told Mike to come back when he was ready. He and Anika had time to talk:
“Alan, did you check the code from Heops?”
“He did a brilliant job. It will serve its purpose with perfection. Heops is our angel. Whe
n would be the meeting? Ahh, it's been a long time since we had real meetings…”
“I am glad, Heops is really a genius. I sent him your message. He wants to talk to you about the gathering. It will be on Sunday at the old factory at 11 p.m.”
