Now imagine you're Barry Bailey and you walk into a special room full of technological equipment you've never heard of. You feel good because you have been injected with substances that give you pleasure. You are in an optimal state because your neurotransmitters are just right for it. Then you enter a holographic virtual reality and have induced experiences based on descriptions from mystical books of all times. Subsequently, you are injected with a dose of a psychedelic. You think you have obtained an insurmountable pleasure.
But no, it is not insurmountable, and you discover it when your first devotee connects with your mind and offers you all his experience, all his desires, guilt and aversions. For a moment, they shock you and dissolve into your induced joy. But now, as he joins you, that joy doubles in intensity.
Can you guess? Yes, it can be overcome, and you discover it when hundreds first, then thousands, and finally millions of beings connect to you. The pleasure is so great that you are losing yourself in it and coming back slightly each time new desires, guilts and aversions hit. It goes on like this for three years.
And one day, it stops. You feel empty in that same room where, you don't remember when, you entered.
-Good morning, Mr. Bailey. The hologram has completed its training. We appreciate your service.
Years later, you are lying in the outer ring of the Underworld, and a woman is caressing you. She says to you:
-It must be hard to be the image of the Avatar and live the way you live.
