Aforementioned the subconscious is immensely powerful, while you stare into space, daydream, or just before you fall fully unconscious your mind could be running complex algorithms and solving things a team of nuclear physicists at C.E.R.N couldn't do. And that's the point, you can do thinks no other could do (conscious of course, again, in theorem everyone has this ability).
This is where the labryrinth concept becomes involved, as well as being able to calculate things unimaginable, there's a cost, a set back, or whatever you want to call it, life's little way of being a bitch, and so you'll forget it, like chronic amnesia, everything in the subconscious stays there, trapped, no, lost. And thus we have it, the power to do everything but not do everything. Do you see the catch? Of course you do, because you're thinking again. I'm pretty sure you see where this is going to go. It's "the game" concept, the one you just lost, thinking is so powerful, and unexplainable.......
Anyway, this is where I come into this, my job is to get you to think like you've never thought before, and to bring you a bunch of mind boggling concepts in the form of short little storys. Please enjoy the ride.
