I have often encountered seven *things* which could warp all reality 
(ref: duopol2.htm).  They individually have control over Time, Space, 
Mind, Soul, Power, Reality, and Permanence.  They look like gems, but 
they work like engines.  So I refer to them as the Engines of Reality.

I lose track of how often the Engines and I have made contact, but it's 
been at least once every decade since the 1980s.  People tell me I held 
them in the  1960s also... wow, neat trick.  I am so familiar with these 
things, I held them and *renounced* them once - permanently, because of 
the Engine of Permanence.  (1988/me2.htm#sevenways)  Unfortunately, at 
the time I neglected to ban *others* from chasing that same power.  They 
merely have conditions before they can affect *me* with it.

So, you might consider me an expert on the Engines of Reality.  As that 
expert, I now tell you... They're bad news.  They're like the root 
passwords to everything, and the sysadmins of reality are just shrugging 
and saying "Whatever, you can just figure it out yourselves".
