John, brace yourself! It's time for more "good news, bad news."

The good news is that life is just an illusion. A playground of sorts for spiritual adventurers to learn of their divinity. Where absolutely anything can happen, thoughts become things, and dreams do come true. It's like the ultimate test pilot's paradise, where they can crash and burn, and do it again. Soar and learn. Rise and fall. Conquer and stall. Or just fly in circles, sometimes on purpose, sometimes not. All the while lifting the entire Universe - every imaginable form of consciousness - higher into the light for their tears-and-laughter-bought lessons.

The bad news?

You're the test pilot.

Our hero and Ace,
