The ability to create

The voice emerged, speaking with its cold intonations while ignoring Noor's successive insults:

"You must find the exit yourself. It is simpler than you imagine, but you complicate it with your superficial and naive thinking."

Noor felt intense irritation but suppressed his anger. Noor was naturally a calm person, but he transformed completely when feeling lost, not knowing where the exit was or what was happening around him.

He continued his path, examining the place while feeling suffocated and tense. He looked around in a desperate attempt to find any exit, but to no avail. The voice said in a mocking tone:

"The solution is simpler than you imagine. Think carefully and observe closely."

Noor took a deep breath, trying to clear his thoughts and remove his tension. Then he opened his eyes and began running again, saying to himself:

"Nothing is without end. I will surely find the end of this corridor."

However, as time passed, he felt tired again without seeing anything other than the vast white expanse. He sat on the floor, leaning against the wall, and closed his eyes in despair. The voice came again, saying:

"Very well, I will give you one final hint. but remember, there will be no other assistance. you will remain here forever if you do not understand my last hint. Now listen carefully."

Noor raised his head toward the ceiling, concentration evident on his face. The voice continued:

"If you can answer this question, you will certainly find the exit. What is the thing with which you can escape from the world, and which no system in the world can take from you?"

Noor began thinking deeply, with the voice's words echoing in his mind. What is the thing with which you can escape from the world? Noor pondered what this thing could be, saying to himself:

"Can anyone escape from this world in the first place? Your soul is imprisoned in it until you die, and you will remain under the control of governments and higher authorities, with no escape from them or from this miserable world. You will continue paying taxes, going to work incessantly, and having children who repeat exactly what you did, and thus the endless cycle continues. You are like a slave to them without the freedom to do anything. If you are unlucky, you will be stuck in a war between countries,. You will keep repeating this throughout your life to make the system continue without stopping. You are a pawn in this life for global and local systems. There is no escape from human oppression and control, except through..."

Suddenly, the idea flashed in Noor's mind like a solitary light amid darkness—a strange idea trying to hatch in his head like a chick breaking through an egg. Everything became clear, and he understood the significance of what the voice had said. He exclaimed with excitement flowing through him:

"Yes, that's it! This must be the only way to escape this reality."

Noor stood up enthusiastically, saying:

"It's imagination! Yes, it must be imagination."

And Noor remembered a saying: "We have in imagination an entire alternative life."

The voice replied jokingly:

"Yes, that's it, Mr. Noor, what a genius you are. But you haven't escaped yet. Show me now how you'll get out of here!"

"Shouldn't you open the door for me after I solved your cursed riddle?!"

"Do you think it's that easy? Of course not. Now that you know the solution, think about how you'll get out of here!"

Noor's enthusiasm began to fade again, and he appeared discouraged. He thought to himself:

"What does imagination have to do with getting out of here? I don't understand. Could it be? No, no, no. I don't think so. That's a crazy idea. Nothing like this exists in reality, nor can it be created. This world operates on logic and science, and there's no place for imagination and the strange things we create with it except inside our minds."

Overthinking began to suffocate Noor and accelerate his heartbeat, but he tried to calm himself so as not to disturb his thoughts. He said to himself:

"Well, trying won't hurt me."

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to imagine that there was a door in front of him in the corridor. He imagined walking toward it and approaching it, then placing his hand on the door. He felt something solid in his hand, so he opened his eyes to find himself holding a real door handle. His eyes widened in astonishment, and he said in bewilderment, hardly believing himself:

"Is this possible?"

Noor opened the door, and an intensely bright white light emanated from behind it. He put his hand over his eyes due to the brightness, then opened his eyes again when he felt the light disappear. He examined the place around him and found himself in a spacious room with walls painted white, as if he were inside a piece of pure white marble. It was square in shape and spacious, with dimensions of about one hundred meters in width and length. There was also no door here. He said, wondering if he would repeat his previous act and create a door to exit from here as well:

"I escaped from a corridor to enter a room. Great! Should I create a door here too?"

The voice replied disapprovingly:

"No. You will follow my instructions here and learn how to use this inner power to create many things, and how to employ your mind and especially your imagination in visualizing and creating everything you desire. Now listen carefully."

Noor appeared deeply focused, and the voice continued:

"Perhaps you can imagine many things you've seen in your life and visualize them mentally. You can imagine the face of a friend, your family's faces, and the shape of your home with all its minute and boring details. You can imagine anything you've seen in your miserable life, and there are many examples—that is imagination. But you can also imagine things you've never seen before. You can imagine creatures you've never seen, and strange things that don't exist in your world, like a person who flies or a strange creature with wings that breathes fire like a dragon. You can do this by combining some images and forms you've seen in your life into a new mental image, creating a visual result that might be somewhat strange.

You can imagine a person with many arms, and another person with horns, and if your imagination is fertile, you will imagine entire worlds with their laws and strange creatures. The more you learn and see strange things, the more fertile your imagination becomes, producing strange things you've never seen or become familiar with before. Therefore, you must learn to delve deeply into what you want and contemplate it to create it in your mind as a perfect mental image, then you will find it materialized before you. But you must be very familiar with the reality of this thing and what it consists of, which means you need to be familiar with many facts. For example, if you think about creating a balloon with your imagination, you must think that it's made of plastic material with helium gas inside that makes it float in the air. By combining these elements in your imagination, you embody these things as they should be. Imagine something simple like a tennis ball—you must know that it's a lightweight rubber ball with a yellowish-green color, circular shape, covered with felt, with a regular outer shape, its sections connected without threads, and of course, determine its weight and diameter to make it perfect. To embody these things, you must learn how to use your inner energy.

He paused briefly, then continued:

"The idea inside your mind has weight, but it's extremely light, barely perceptible. This idea and its weight always affects those around you. You might do something good and influence those around you to be like you, and similarly with bad actions. Ideas affect those around you more than you imagine. With this ability, you can transform this light weight into a substantial one and shape it to produce something. If your small idea emerges as waves of energy from your mind to affect those around you, with this power you transform these waves and shape them to become solid matter. You can literally manipulate the molecules around you and shape them into what you want. To do this, you also need enormous mental energy, which we have also supplied you with. Therefore, all you need to do is imagine the thing in the way I told you a moment ago, extend your palm in front of you, and you will find the object has formed inside it for you to hold. As your level develops, you may be able to embody many things in places far from you, but this is impossible now. You can also create some illusions because your ability enables this too. At a certain level, you can control the molecules around you to create a version similar to yourself made of light, for example. It will be fake and just a mirage of light, but you could use it to distract your enemies. Fortunately, you possess a photographic memory and can remember everything you see and hear with extreme clarity as if it were in front of you, which is why we chose you to carry this power."

Noor began scratching his head from the strange words he heard and said in amazement, trying to comprehend:

"If this subject is so complex, how was I able to create a door with my mind without thinking about these things? I just imagined the door, and I found it."

The voice said hesitantly, as if trying to hide something:

"Well... I didn't want to disappoint you, but I am aware of your vital functions and everything you think and imagine. Since this is the beginning of the road for you, and when I found that you had reached the solution and imagined the door. I created it for you, because currently you won't be able to imagine or create it—it's not that simple."

Noor appeared disappointed when he heard these words, mixed with amazement, and said with a curious tone:

"Well, it doesn't matter now, whatever. But how do you know what I'm thinking? And what I'm imagining? And why don't you tell me where I am? That's the least of my rights as a human being, and you have no right to kidnap and detain me without me knowing where I am?"
