Setup Instructions
I started on a camel in a perpetual dust devil in the middle of the burning Sahara Desert. My lips are parched. The dust storm engulfs me. As the sand grains race by, they call to me to join them in their timeless race. I see nothing but a swirling vortex. I know not where I am. It has been a long time since I had a drink of liquid. My lips are parched.

The endless sand shimmers in the mid-day heat. Then I come to a pyramid of the Princess Nubian. I have dreamed of this place often. The Princess summons me into the shade of the pyramid. As I enter the shade, I notice her nude chocolate body and her glowing eyes. I am mesmerized by her beauty. Through her longing eyes, she imparts a timeless spiral of energy into my soul. Our minds become one. Have I died or am I reborn? Our shadows dance together on the flame lit walls.

She offers me a cold drink to quench my endless thirst. She reveals that we are familiars from alternate worlds. Then she shares, "Start Ozric Tentacles' 2000 'The Hidden Step' as soon as you see the space ship after the intermission in the collectors edition of '2001: A Space Odyssey'."

The door to an alternate reality opens up before me. The princess and I flow together as the music and movie. A reality upon a reality. The simultaneity of events interwoven. Unconnected yet connected. Each fulfilling the other. Over and over. Where has this beautiful woman been all my life? I will never be the same now that we have found our counterparts. "The Hidden Simultaneity" is now crystal clear.

Additional Notes
I write this message on a parchment scroll and stuff it in a clay pot. The world I came from seems so far away and small. Will somebody ever find this note? Will it serve as a warning or a beckoning? I let the pot slide down a sand dune as I am swept away by the music... the music... the music of our souls....................................
