Creativity Case 01: Think Like God

By Sarah-Jane Harvey

So when I thought about writing this a few days ago, I realized that this title has been sitting in my book of
horrors forever. Well over two years now. Probably a lot longer than that as thousands of years have passed.
A Book of horrors you ask?
And I am here to tell you its a dastardly thing... it reeks of old coffee and tea stains, has ripped pages and ten
million scribbles. Ah such is the life of a mad man... or in my case... a man woman. Wait...did I just say
Man/Woman? I meant mad woman... what is wrong with me today? The audience doesn't want to hear of my
conversations with myself on duality. Or do they?
Mmm... food for thought.
Anyway, going back to my thinking of this title... I actually wrote this title back when I met a very unlikely fellow
named Laderick. Literally in the same time frame of him entering my life. Yes, laugh all you want because of his
online username... but later he called himself Purgatory. Indeed... this person sat countless hours with me on
Skype as we laughed and talked about the weirdest shit you would not even dream about. Such a character he
was. What he didn't know is that in part I knew who he was.
He didn't have to spell it out for me. It was as obvious as day and night.
So ladies and gentlemen, let's start with...
... I AM DAY.
He was NIGHT.
Now if I told you that I was the sun. Would you believe me?
Naw... who would ever believe that a poor, unemployed female is- in fact the brilliant, bright sun sitting in the
sky?
It burns right? Well only if you touch it, or decide to fly near it like Icarus... but that is beside the point. You will
understand in time. This is after all only the first installment to my life.
Yes, Night... he was my Night- My Moon (known as a she to some others who have encountered him). In my
eyes he was Lucifer come to haunt my waking moments. And to this day that is the category I placed him in. On
a basic level he knows this too.
So what did Day and Night discuss then?
Well let's start with the evolution of Dinosaurs.......................dot..dot...dot...
Oh here we go," you groan.
Come'on.... see the hilarity of it. Dinosaurs are big, mean and scary right? Well so when I spoke to Night, we had
a laugh as we discussed what would happen if we see ole' T-Rex in the museum. My interview would go like this:
Mr. T Rex, how is your day?
'Fine,'
So what have you accomplished this far in your career?

'Just Standing here.'

How old are you?
'A Few thousand years.'
Anything you want to tell our readers/ or listeners?
'You know I have a gripe...'
What is that?
'Well you people keep flashing me... I don't like it.'
Oh?
'Well, you can be a bit kinder... I enjoy gentle talks of admiration and flashing only now and again. Well I don't
mind people taking pictures when they pose next to me and make scary faces...makes me feel...err...manly if
that is possible.'
Okay, noted. Anything else?
'Oh, and I'd like a new paint job. The cracks forming near my behind is starting to show.'
Well ladies and gentlemen...give a big round of applause for Mr. T-Rex. He was a massive sport with us today.
So what does discussing a day with a dinosaur mean? Nothing much to the conventional listener or reader. But
that is as we say where it all started for me.
Even now... I am getting distracted by a scene in Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas where Alone looks up and you
see these doves fly away into the scene. Just a few seconds of a bigger picture and all of a sudden I need to
rant. Why do you think that I value doves?
Go ask Mr. T-Rex what he had for dinner yesterday.
I bet you this millennium that they were tasty. No other reason beyond that.
It's pathetic that you people make it out that I am this all-knowing, all awesome person who is sooo forgiving...
when come'on, let's face it... I am wrath incarnate. Piss me off, and you piss off the universe. Simple as that.
Okay, well that may be harsh, but doves are my sweet and gentle-natured friends... and yet it's also a reminder
that I am human and not an animal who is interested in eating them.
Of course I may turn a blind eye when Mr. T-Rex eats them. But he is the exception- he needs to survive
...seriously. I cannot stress the same when it comes to other food though. In human form, I am still human. I
depend on meat. If evolution wanted me to eat grass for the rest of my life, then I would have done so. However,
choice is a beautiful thing in life. But back then- all those millions of years ago... T-Rex was in fact sort of
responsible for part of your DNA (small tiny part mkay!).
No wonder half of us go rampaging and stomping around- trying to use our short arms to bitch-slap the nearest
neighbor when they piss us off.
Well back to evolution and the discussion of it.
We are part ingenuity, part animal and part awesomeness.
To those of you that think women are less than men because she was supposedly created from the rib of Adam.
Please... grow up.

As the creator I am female.

I created a male counterpart and a female counterpart because I felt sorry for him. I don't want bunnies to be
lonely in this universe. Plus I have a beef to pick with Night on that. No pun intended... as he is a beautiful redeyed bunny. But one that if you look closely doesn't understand my wishes.
Now for one second I want you, the listener to throw away what you think you know of God. In your mind you
painted a Jesus character already and although lovely that is, the reincarnation of Jesus as the son was in fact
me, just pretending to be the son... since you do not have the capacity to understand anything more at that time.
Imagine some guy walking up to you, take your hand and say: I am god. But please don't mind me... I am just
spreading peace and love.
Would you believe me?
Heck even back then in harsh times, it was difficult to convince a few people. No wonder I ended up dead.
People harbor strong resentment towards that which they do not understand , nor want to understand. Jesus and
the average dinosaur also has a lot in common. But that for another day.
Now the evolution of the dinosaur here means that I had more in common with Mr. T-Rex than you can imagine. I
mean... he had DNA I wanted to manipulate. Strong, instinctual, survival of the fittest... but a bit dumb. So I had
to look further into the natural progress of this planet to determine what would be the best DNA to use and I
definitely found it. If you knew... you would never look at yourself in the same way again.
One of your DNA Ancestors reside in the African desert. I am not going into specifics as DNA manipulation has
existed for ages. Long before any poor animal called 'Dolly' was cloned.
Well by now you must be wide-eyed and wonder... what the hell does evolution of the dinosaurs and cloning
have anything to do with our history.
And the simple answer is: A lot.
However, let me tell you a story of a woman. A brilliant scientist by your standards. You see long ago her planet
was besieged by these very unlikely 'creatures' and the natural process of the planet meant it was overheating.
In fact the sun of that solar system was destroying the nearest inhabitable planet. The population was killed off...
in horrific ways you cannot even imagine. And the few last survivors... a few scientists and some nobles hid out
in caves. But without being able to get food for a long period of time due to the nature of the planet and
everything dying and becoming desert-like, the one scientist who had up until then managed a few very
successful achievements in her career, was determined to do one last thing to save them from the horrors of the
planet. She needed to understand a thing what we call 'Time' and open a portal to another planet. Preferably one
with with food and water and that can sustain life. What we understand of time is only relevant to any planet you
are on. In reality it doesn't exist. But we all look at the clock, so its easier to explain in that way.
This civilization until that point was quite advanced- having the ability to do numerous things, except save
themselves. You could say the creatures were the by-product of their own experiments and their eventual
downfall. The destruction of an entire civilization was literally deleted (in keyboard terms) within days.
Anyway, back to this rather morose story...
The people left were desperate. No food, and no water as it was running out. Over a period of several years...
they managed to sustain themselves in the caves until a handful of people were left. Weathered, boned, and on
the verge of dying, the scientist had an epiphany.
Her only regret was that it was too late.

They had less than 24 hours before the planet would be destroyed. The living conditions would mean that the
next day's sunrise would mean the death of everyone.
With her last strength, she solved the puzzle of jumping dimensions and it was so simple. The waves... where up
to that point they were always thought of two things on a separate level, needed to be combined.
Now dear listener... in simple terms I will tell you what you need to imagine here...
Think of a red energy field... like a big block and then think of a blue energy field of the exact same color,
dimension and scale and now imagine that these two separate fields had to be placed on-top of one anotherkinda like a mating ritual. Once they combined, the frequency changed and that is when it happened...
A doorway to another dimension.
The outcome wasn't as amazing as you had hoped for really.
The last remnants of a forgotten civilization managed to escape their fate mere minutes before destruction of the
planet happened.
But up to that day she remembered one of her closest friends that died who was responsible for giving her the
food and water meant for him. He literally passed away a few days before this magnificent occurrence.
Now let's advance a few years into the future from this event.
I discovered an ancient civilization living on this planet. The natural species that has evolved from the earth.
They weren't that advanced but had good, rudimentary knowledge of the stars and seasons and processes of
the earth.
I will be honest here... snakes... as much as I adore and love them, scare the shit out of me.
Did you ever think for one moment that the snake you so lovingly came to adore as the devil was indeed some
entity that causes mayhem and destruction? I kid you not... you people have your ideas backwards- but I always
knew this would happen as man is fallible and known to make errors.
Anyway, back to this civilization. The people of earth were basic. Not as advanced as I would have hoped for,
but having set foot on this earth I beheld my kingdom and saw all was good.
Yes, it was my kingdom as I quickly became their god or goddess you could say.
Our discovery in the desert with our strange attire/ equipment and amulets only meant one thing to them... it was
their gods who promised them eternal afterlife.
In fact- back then little did I know how right they were- but it wasn't until hundreds of years later did I realize what
I was.
So at first there was fear, skepticism and then awe and admiration. Back then I still had all the makings of a
typical scientist. I used knowledge to our advancement on earth.
Now here is where Mr. Devil comes in. The snake...
Oh, how I can wax lyrical about this creature. The first time I saw it I was amazed and yet it scared the hell out of
me. Fascination prompted me to study this creature and I quickly realized that DNA from this remarkable animal
holds some universal truths that will go down in history.
In fact the snake is pretty sacred according to the people back then and once I realized the enormous power this
creature held, I quickly made it an icon as snakes were rare creatures back then. To catch one was even more
remarkable in the desert as they were crafty, intelligent and cunning beyond belief. They killed several of my
people, which fueled my interest even more.

Now being a god for some ancient earth people was no easy task, I tell you. You cannot even begin to imagine
some of the horrors or practices these people believed in. But being the typical scientist I was, I longed for home.
A civilization to rival my home-world's one day and with that in mind I went back to my experiments. The reason
we were worshipped as gods were apparent- especially when we created the first of our kind here on earth. We
needed to keep the peace between ourselves and the locals and so we accepted the title and we played a
massive part in their rituals. Some of it was absolute necessary to keep the status we have achieved over them
and to keep them from killing us in our sleep. But I needed to take a step away from being considered god-like
and so I chose a successor among their people and genetically enhanced him. And here dear listeners, is where
the devil snake comes into play.
That day will haunt me for the rest of my mortal and immortal life as it changed the course of history as we know
it.
And no amount of Adam and Eve and the snake tempting them bullshit will ever come close to the truth. But
people were god-fearing creatures back then so it was easier to play on their fears than convince them of the
real truth. Even to this day that sentiment holds.
Back to alchemy/voodoo magic stuffs....
The ceremony and ritual was widely known, but only the elite of their society was invited to the event. I created
the first man and woman of our kind. A mix between earth's man and woman, and my kind using my own DNA
and those of my peers. The snake as a sacred symbol also stood for liberation and rejuvenation. Shedding one's
old skin and starting anew. A new life- a new world.
Now the ritual itself was not something to boast about. They died. Really. And then was brought back to life.
Now with the world as it stands today, you will laugh all this off as complete bullshit while I have a quiet laugh
myself.
But life back then was not easy and to maintain dominion over those under me meant I had to be crafty and
cunning like the snake.
But like all children, the first of my kind were not satisfied with the rituals and falsehood's we displayed on the
surface. In fact, our species were also far different in genetics to the people of this earth. As normal beings we
had relationships and fell in love like any normal person, but over the ages we have fundamentally changed
ourselves in terms of things that you take for granted which relates to desire and sex. We rarely mated among
our kind. For us, joining with another was a natural process of having children and seeking comfort, but was
rarely done for pleasure alone. We admired beauty and perfection and accepted that every individual was unique
in his or her own way. Perfection didn't mean a perfect body type or size, but the perfect mind. Pleasure was
obtained through the mating of minds and the perfect partner. We were also different. What you people call
powers, for us it was natural. We had instincts that the normal human did not possess. Some boasted more
powers than others and this kept the local earth people in awe of us and also made them fear us. But the
knowledge we possessed were seen as miraculous and lots of times as magic.
And here your eyes will bulge out of their sockets when I tell you that the first time I genuinely fell in love was
with a jackal. I created a man who had DNA of a jackal. The original pair... father and son I used for the
experiment- well the father's DNA was used successfully and the man lived among my people for a period of
time- learning our language, and customs. But my creation was flawed as well, as he didn't live as long as I had
hoped he would. In the time he spent with us, I grew to love him as an individual and my creation. I simply
adored him and note he was my other half. He was another part of me that showed me the difference between
animal and man and understanding the nature of one such as he was rather complicated, but endearing all the
while. In the end, his time with us has been told through the ages in varying degrees.
In all honesty this man held the chains to my heart back then and I will never forget him as he was the guide to
everything that was right in my life.
Now among my people were those who fancied the local women. Fearing that the bloodline of my people will
vanish, I forbade them to have sexual relations with the common earth woman. But as with everything people
are full of shit. Who would have imagined?

Still children were seeded from relations between my kind and your kind.
At the end of my life back then, I died in a manner that was quite gruesome and my DNA was passed on to
suitable hosts. The ending ritual... well before my death... was a moment of quietness and chanting in the
background and as I lifted my eyes over the valley from where I was placed on the stone slab...I saw the sun one
last time and it made me smile before my eyes closed for eternity.
I really wasn't as old as you think I was, because back then I wanted to preserve myself for generations to come.
And even back then Dinosaurs...well they existed alright. I was there when they did. Jurassic Park has
absolutely nothing on the crap back then, but hey... a new Jurassic World is coming out this year, so hopefully
we get to see something awesome.
Science tells you that Dinosaurs existed long before any man was around or when cavemen were around. In
part it is right and in part it is wrong, so my discussions with Night was really interesting.
You see Night was a scared puppy who still had to find his way in life while, I, the original Sun God was proud,
strong and fearless. So it was only natural that the moon wanted to see what the sun could show it and in so
doing lived through countless tales of two puppies stranded on an island where they are chased by big-arsed
dinosaurs who stole their eggs where it was mistaken for food. (Dino's are scary!)
And if by now you are not thinking like God... then I hope you will one day.
I still love you though as I have throughout all these ages.
I just hope you will realize that in this life time or in the several lifetimes ahead of you.

Also watch out for the next installment of my life titled:

Creativity Case 02: Act Like God and Creativity Case 03: Be God-Like!
I will explore more commonly dumb religious views and how this world has twisted it to suit their needs. But
hey... guess what?
The other day I visited a website and it said something along the lines of:
You cannot claim to be god or lay claim to an entire race as they cannot for the life of them imagine god would
sign up their website and visit them.
Did it EVER occur to you that you lot won't know the difference between a god and a human even if you were hit
over the head with a ten ton hammer? Seriously... what bullshit you lot tell yourselves is beyond me....
So yeah... I have nothing better to do with my time than stalk you lot online and carry out judgment on those that
deserve it. That includes earthquakes, tornadoes and big arsed-storms.
That is me out.
Peace.
