Chapter Seven: Hidden
Jim practiced
the art of concealment.
He developed
layer upon layer of security.
He became adept
at deception.
He hid
things, even from himself, and that is how he knew he could keep his secrets
from the Continuum.
When he had
acquired that confidence he slowly pushed his plans forward. Placing safeguards
for himself in the liminal space that would buffer him and support him in the
event that he was discovered.
The veil was
thin, but it was potent. He managed to sense the electromagnetic fields around
him, to harness them to create false narratives within it, narratives that were
ultimately accepted by the Continuum.
First he would insert something into the experiential field of an
individual member of the Collective, then they would share it with others,
exposing them to the lie.
Finally, when he told the lie himself, it resonated with the expectation
that he had established in the group mind, thereby it did not arouse suspicion.
The things he wanted the Continuum to believe were taken for granted.
Despite this he could not prevent the Continuum from being suspicious of
him, even though he was able to divert its attention away from his clandestine
activities.
He grew in confidence and pursued his goal of building the framework
that would help him succeed in pulling down the Continuum.
