Incorporeal
(From unpublished)
On one planet, as a
result of a successful genetic experiment, people decided to abandon their
bodies. And to ensure the immortality of the soul and mind, which they called
"consciousness", without separating them.
The rationale for
the experiment was that bodies age and die, and limit consciousness with their
natural physical limitations. In addition, this put an end to inequality (and
therefore discrimination), which had, first of all, external physical signs -
height, weight, gender, skin color, etc.
This decision
ensured the integrity of nature, energy reserves, and minerals.
Unlike the body,
consciousness did not take up space, it did not need food, clothing, housing,
transportation, a workplace, wages, taxes, banks, shops, cemeteries, laws, and
other attributes of human life and social order. The entire system of human
life became simpler - if consciousness could be called a person. At the same
time, consciousness could not become the object of hunting by wild animals, get
sick, suffer from natural disasters, or be subjected to any external physical
influence. People became gods, existing as described in ancient holy books:
"...and the breath of God hovers over the waters."
The question of the
need for religions also disappeared, since equality was unshakable - each
consciousness was free to do (think) about what it wants, how it wants, and
when it wants. The question of similarity "in image and spirit" also
lost its relevance - since people became gods, and the need for God
disappeared.
People-consciousness
became gods also because they gained eternal life. Communication at the
inter-consciousness level led, over time, to the creation of a collective mind
- a kind of system of higher intelligence, which became the center of
consciousness and a kind of governing body.
It possessed not
only intellect but also served as a colossal source of energy, since according
to the laws of physics (which this experiment turned upside down), the energy
of the mind, deprived of the body, did not disappear, but only transformed. And
the combined energy of billions of consciousnesses allowed them to create new
life forms. Moreover, the essence of the creation of these forms was the
diversity of life forms - flora and fauna. After all, human consciousness, even
if disembodied, tended to create a variety of forms filled with content.
As a result, there
were no natural disasters on this planet caused by human factors, no deaths, as
well as no overpopulation - since no one was born anymore. There was no
transmigration of souls either - because there was nowhere and no reason to
transmigrate.
As a result of the
experiment, the new life form lost the need for the instinct of
self-preservation. After all, it seems absurd to encroach on a soul without a
body. And what living being is capable of neutralizing or rendering harmless an
invisible person? Unless this creature can read minds. By the way, it was in
this way - through reading thoughts - that consciousnesses communicated and
interacted.
The loss of the
body made it easier for people-consciousness to travel not only on their planet
but also to make interplanetary, intergalactic, and inter-universal movements.
This opportunity simplified the discovery of new worlds, acquaintance, and communication
with new life forms. After all, disembodied consciousnesses had long existed
throughout the universe. And those who also had a physical form knew how to
communicate at the inter-consciousness level.
Worlds and galaxies
became global. Consciousnesses gathered impressions and experiences from
interplanetary excursions and expeditions, which were entered by them into the
higher intelligence.
It seemed that this
form of being lasted forever, because the experience of previous generations
was accumulated and passed on to people-consciousness. The cycle of the
universe practically closed. It seemed that it had no beginning and no end -
only information and energy circulating in a circle. It seemed that it would be
so forever.
Returning to the
experiment that started everything we know now, it should be noted that it was
considered successful after the fact. Summarizing all the pros and cons. After
all, history is written by those who remain. Survived. Continued their existence.
Like any other
scientific experiment in human history, there were casualties. Initially, there
was a referendum. The entire population of the planet had to decide how to live
on. The bleak prospects of man-made disasters (for which humanity itself was responsible),
epidemics, and pandemics pushed humanity to the idea that it was no longer
possible to rape and change Mother Nature. And if it was impossible to change
their approach to it, humanity had to change its nature - themselves.
No less than
humanity itself wanted to solve its problems once and for all, a huge
transnational corporation wanted this, which controlled not only all the
resources of the planet but also whose employees were all its inhabitants, in
fact, it controlled the planet itself through puppet governments that lobbied
exclusively for the interests of the corporation.
The head of the
corporation could not bear to watch his only heir die from an incurable
disease. This is what prompted him to conduct an experiment that could save and
prolong his son's life.
It is worth noting
that at that time, science had already learned to "transfer" souls
into other bodies. To change the shells of consciousness. But sooner or later,
bodies died, and this did not inspire confidence in scientists. Since people loved
not only their own shell but also their appearance, it was difficult for them
to accept that their loved ones and relatives, friends and neighbors often
changed their appearance. Moreover, beyond recognition. The only logical
solution for scientists was to eliminate the shell. The human body. Not
everyone liked this idea.
But time was
running out for the aging father of the dying son. And the man who practically
ruled the planet decided to give its inhabitants - the employees of his
corporation - a choice. He knew that even if people refused their usual form of
life, reproduction, and simply making love, he would deprive them of all this.
But he gave them a chance - to try to come to their predetermined fate on their
own. Although not entirely.
In the shortest
possible time, advertising campaigns were launched all over the planet, which
in all languages, in all cultural codes, explained and convinced that there
could be no better form of existence than a disembodied consciousness. At some
point, public opinion polls, manipulated by the PR specialists and advertisers
of the planet's owner, began to confidently guarantee victorious reports. Both
the manipulated and the manipulators themselves began to believe that life
without a body was the best form of existence.
Meanwhile, a
protest movement emerged on the planet. People preferred to die rather than
live forever without bodies. And this movement was growing every day.
