Thumbing through, you see a complete account of everything you went through. In the "Alternate Scenarios" section you read about events that did not occur at venues you never got to. You note choices you didn't make and get quick impressions of directions in which the scenario can veer at critical stages. You read dialogues for dozens of surveillance clips you never saw, noting how the characters of Farnsworth, Van Scoy and Leon are scripted to be much more vicious in several alternates. Their level of villainy appears to constantly adjust to how the central character perceives them and in response to the moves he or she actually makes. In the most extreme cases, the trio can be seen to be plotting the actual demise of the heir. "Manor House" does not always end happily, but always seems to make the effort. But there are concerns. A Dutch critic, who observed the drama from behind the scenes, has sent an advance copy of a piece he's written for a major European magazine. The review is mixed, alternately praising and panning many aspects of the production. Your bottom-line judgment: The play, your experience was fantastic -- beyond anything you could have imagined. And, if indeed this is all possible, you can certainly see how a trained actor might well perform an unconscious masterpiece, and why audiences would flock to this new type of cinema verite. Throughout the debriefing, there are constant interruptions. Stuart and the others must constantly deal with Farnsworth's unrelenting battle to lobby the i21 chairman and the president to cancel the production. Later, when les saboteurs actually appear in the lab, a heated argument nearly turns into a brawl. Satisfied that the creative team has received the all-important direct feedback, Stuart and the others now attempt bring you back. In technical terms, they explain, this other you, whose consciousness is largely a collection of fake memories, results from temporarily reprogramming your NR2B gene cluster by means of NMDA protein blockers and substitutes, "biological software routines" for consciousness -- a regimen of hypnosis and pharmaceuticals they say you underwent at the outset of your adventure. These brand-new, experimental drugs, manufactured by a biotech firm the i21/Camelot chairman owns, enhance recently acquired memories and suppress others -- including any knowledge of the technology itself. Well, it certainly worked. You truly had no idea. Your preparation, which took place over 72 hours, was similar to that of an actor intensely getting into character. The one big difference being that, by the end of it, you thought it was for real. After "acquiring" a new background and identity based on "pseudo-events," a packet was actually delivered to a "halfway house" where you quickly became absorbed in "Lord Hanover's" correspondence and video calls. You really did download information from simulated Web sites, actually watched a fake BBC documentary, made reservations over the phone, and attended to other routine matters in advance of your "trip." Of course, you never flew or stopped over anywhere, but "artificial memories" duped you into thinking you had. However, that lengthy conversation with Stephen the chauffeur actually took place in a Bentley as he drove you around for hours. Stephen really did park the vehicle down by the gate and escort you up to the entrance. That leisurely walk was the crucial final transition from your "in-between state" to entering the full-fledged scenario with your acquired minsset. Which, Stuart reminds you, started off with quite a bang. "Bringing you back" to your real life and authentic memories has previously been accomplished by showing you scrapbooks filled with personal memorabilia, photos and clippings. One sure-fire method is the triggering of a powerful synchronicity -- two or more seemingly unconnected events that happen simultaneously. What people in normal states of consciousness would call "coincidences," but in truth are "psychic events" enabling one to switch instantly between mindsets. But, they caution, they never know -- and cannot be told -- in advance what will work. For the technique requires completely random occurrences. (Continued)
