Framing Story

Iteration 1

During the bleak, solitary period now popularly referred to as the "Quaran-twenties," much of humanity claimed to have experienced spiritual messages or "downloads" in the form of dreams and subconscious visions. This prompted the great "Spiritual Revolution" (immediately following the Quaran-twenties) in which the general public showed massive support and interest in the theoretical existence of "higher powers." This prompted intrigue in previously skeptical scientists and academics, leading to government-funded, as well as private experiments and research efforts dedicated to proving or disproving the existence of "higher powers" or a 4th dimension. During this time, there also emerged a small counter-revolution that deemed spiritual believers as crazed, deluded lunatics. However, nearly all skepticism was squashed once a device that allowed us to view glimpses of the 4th dimension (time) was created in 2040 (you can see different "versions" of objects/events in diff points in time). What once was intangible and invisible to us in the 3D, has now become interactive and traversable. Experiments revealed that human thoughts and consciousness have the power to interact with the 4th dimension, providing merit to previous "pseudoscientific" practices like manifestation and Law of Attraction.

Initially, this led to a "Golden Era" of positivity, where many felt empowered by this newfound ability to control their future through their thoughts. Spiritual masters and "psychics" that showed proficiency in interacting with the 4th dimension became world leaders, and are idolized by all. However, as some began to show mastery in this ability, others became frustrated with their lack or failure to manifest their ideal life. The general public became obsessed with altering or ensuring the future they saw in the 4D viewer, which was commercialized into an optical prosthetic/cosmetic device. People no longer make choices without consulting this device to see if it had affected their projected future. This has led to chaotic and unpredictable behavior in some (usually those who are desperate for immediate results), in an attempt to bring about their desired life, or to prevent undesired scenarios.

With the proliferation of the 4D viewer and the knowledge that our conscious and subconscious thoughts can affect the 4D, all marketing and advertising has shifted to promote the product's effect on one's mental state. There has also been a rise in mental "propaganda" and subliminal messages hidden in media by the government or underground groups that want to weaponize the universal consciousness to mass-manifest certain events.

Message:

The more you live in the future, the less time you'll have to enjoy your present. As humans, we can't expect to be able to control every aspect of our lives, obsessing over trying to do so can be destructive.

Iteration 2

During the bleak, solitary period now popularly referred to as the "Quaran-twenties," much of humanity claimed to have experienced various psychic phenomena such as premonitions, precognitive dreams, astral projection, etc. This prompted the great "Spiritual Revolution" (immediately following the Quaran-twenties) in which the general public showed massive support and interest in New Age spiritual beliefs. This prompted intrigue in previously skeptical scientists and academics, leading to government-funded, as well as private experiments and research efforts dedicated to proving or disproving the existence of "higher powers" or any other psychic phenomena. During this time, there also emerged a small counter-revolution that deemed spiritual believers as crazed, deluded lunatics. However, nearly all skepticism was squashed once a device that allowed us to view glimpses of the 4th dimension (time) was created in 2040 (you can see different "versions" of objects/events in diff points in time). What once was intangible and invisible to us in the 3D, has now become interactive and traversable. Experiments revealed that human thoughts and consciousness have the power to interact with the 4th dimension, providing merit to previous "pseudoscientific" ideas like manifestation, Law of Attraction, clairvoyance, etc.

Initially, this led to a "Golden Era" of positivity, where many felt empowered by this newfound ability to control their future through their thoughts. Spiritual masters and "psychics" that showed proficiency in interacting with the 4th dimension became world leaders, and are idolized by all.

This has led to chaotic and unpredictable behavior in some (usually those who are desperate for immediate results), in an attempt to bring about their desired life, or to prevent undesired scenarios.

With the proliferation of the 4D viewer and the knowledge that our conscious + subconscious thoughts and beliefs can affect the 4D, all marketing and advertising has shifted to promote the products' "positive" effects on one's mental state. There has also been a rise in mental "propaganda" and subliminal messages hidden in media by the government or underground groups that want to weaponize the universal consciousness to mass-manifest certain events.

Message:

The more you live in the future, the less time you'll have to enjoy your present. As humans, we can't expect to be able to control every aspect of our lives, obsessing over trying to do so can be destructive. My message will consist of various advertisements that promote the 4D viewer, and possibly other relevant manifestation products that are popular in my future. The ads will all incorporate subliminal messaging. The way that they will be sent back is simply through precognitive visions, because although psychic phenomena hasn't been proven in the past, there are already psychics and "spiritualists" that are capable of seeing glimpses of the future (without the help of any technology).

Final Iteration

During the bleak, solitary period now popularly referred to as the "Quaran-twenties," much of humanity claimed to have experienced various psychic phenomena such as premonitions, precognitive dreams, astral projection, etc. This prompted the great "Spiritual Revolution" in which the general public showed massive support and interest in New Age spiritual beliefs. This prompted intrigue in previously skeptical scientists and academics, leading to government-funded, as well as private experiments and research efforts dedicated to proving or disproving the existence of "higher powers" and any other psychic phenomena. During this time, there also emerged a small counter-revolution that deemed spiritual believers as crazed, deluded lunatics. However, nearly all skepticism was squashed once a device that “translated” time into a perceivable “dimension” was created in 2040.

We now refer to time as the 4th dimension; and similar to how humans can physically traverse the 3D plane, we have discovered that there is a “psychic” part of us that is able to interact with and/or traverse the 4D plane as well. The device created during research allows observers to see different "versions" of objects or events in various points in time. Researchers also found that the device’s projected image/vision differed based on who was using it, and for a single observer, varied based on their state of mind at the time, thereby confirming that human thoughts and consciousness can affect the 4D, providing merit to previous "pseudoscientific" ideas like manifestation, Law of Attraction, clairvoyance, etc.

Initially, this led to a "Golden Era" of positivity, where many felt empowered by this newfound ability to control their future through their thoughts. Spiritual masters and trained psychics who showed proficiency in interacting with the 4th dimension became world leaders, and are idolized by all. However, as some began to show mastery in this ability, others became frustrated with their lack or failure to manifest their ideal life. The general public became obsessed with altering or ensuring the future they saw in the 4D viewer, which was commercialized into an optical device called MIRA2. People no longer make choices without consulting MIRA2 to see if it had an effect on their projected future. This has led to chaotic and unpredictable behavior in some (usually those who are desperate for immediate results), in an attempt to bring about their desired life, or to prevent undesired scenarios.

With the proliferation of MIRA2, and the knowledge that our conscious and subconscious thoughts and beliefs can affect the 4D, all marketing and advertising has shifted to promote products' "positive" effects on one's mental state. There has also been a rise in mental "propaganda" and subliminal messages hidden in media by the government or underground groups that want to weaponize the universal consciousness to mass-manifest certain events.

Message:

Positive thinking is beneficial, but obsession with our 3D realities and trying to get them to immediately look and be the way we want can actually be counterproductive. No device can actually guarantee you an ideal future, it is up to you and your thoughts/intentions. I want to convey that obsession can distort our values, and can turn good things like positivity and faith (in ourselves) into things that we suddenly feel deprived of, and feel the need to “buy.” As humans, we hold a lot of power (more than we may be aware of), but that power, if misdirected or misguided, can also lead to ruin. My message will consist of various advertisements that promote the 4D viewer, and a magazine cover that showcases how psychic phenomena has become the norm. The ads will all incorporate subliminal messaging to reflect my future’s emphasis on the power of the human mind. The way that they will be sent back is simply through precognitive visions, because although psychic phenomena hasn't been proven in the past, there are already people that identify as psychics that are capable of seeing glimpses of the future (without the help of any technology).
