Newsflash! Within 33 years, we will all be able to upload our brains into a robotic “avatar” and live forever.
It’s a fascinating read. Scientists funded by a Russian billionaire
(who’s not yet 50, like me, so he doesn’t know any better) are working
on this project. Here’s a tiny excerpt that nutshells the stages of the
plan.
2015 – 2020: A robotic copy of a human body remotely controlled by a brain-computer interface
2020 – 2025: An avatar is created into which a human brain can be transplanted at the end of life
2030 – 2035: An avatar that can now contain an artificial brain into which a human personality can be transferred at the end of life
2040 – 2045: A holographic avatar emerges
–Kevin Dovak, ABC News Science
Great plan, right? But the Russian billionaire and all his
scientists are overlooking something that’s pretty obvious to me. It’s
already been done.
We, the bigger WE, the huge big blob of…oh, let’s go with my cupcake
batter analogy and make this simple. First, we’re a big bowl of batter
known as spirit, only without the bowl.
It’s all one batch. Some
people call it God or Source or The Whole. The batter turns its
attention to becoming physical, and smaller, denser, more focused bits,
and the batter pours itself into various shaped cupcake cups. Those
cups are our bodies. Our “avatars.” They are created by us, to hold
that which is our consciousness. (Consciousness originates not in the
brain, but in the spirit that created the brain. But it’s a wider huger
infinite sort of consciousness.
Human-ness allows spirit to narrow its
focus to the perspective of one unique individual part of itself.) Each
bit of batter, separated out from the rest, is slightly different. It
has minuscule variations in the amounts of sugar, and flour and vanilla
extract and cocoa powder, because no matter how much you blend, you can
never get every single droplet to be the same as the next. Tiny
variations. Like .0001% of a difference, but it’s enough to make each
individual cupcake come out slightly different.
The thing is, each
cupcake form or mold (body) is specifically created by and for that
particular bit of spirit that will fill it. In fact, it’s more than
that. The spirit doesn’t exactly fill the tin, it becomes it, THEN
fills it. So the body we have in this lifetime is perfect in every way,
a perfect reflection of the spirit riding around in it. It can’t be
anything else. My crooked nose is the only nose that could have been
formed by the spoonful of batter that is my Spirit. That uniqueness is
one of the reasons The Whole wanted to become physical in the first
place.
So, sorry Russian Billionaire. You wasted your money. We are
already in our avatars. And they’re better than robots. They’re
biological, like the ones James Cameron made, only, you know, not blue.
No, our amazing beautiful perfect for us bodies don’t last forever.
But neither would the robots. Eventually, parts wear out. They would
rust. Their warranty would expire. And the consciousness that was
transferred into their mechanical brains would have to leave them
behind, just like it does when our biological bodies wear out and we
move on.
Where do we go? Back to the bowl of batter?
No, even better. Forward, into a new batch of batter that is being
made better and better by all the ingredients we collected in our most
recent physical journey. And there it gets remixed with all the other
new ingredients brought forward by all the other consciousnesses who’ve
left their avatar-bodies behind. So that by the time it (you, me, WE)
decide to go pour itself/ourself out again, to be physical cupcake
people again, it/we/The Whole are even better and wiser and older than
before. We come into the next life with more knowledge, more
experience, more understanding from all parts of the Whole.
And that’s evolution. It’s the expansion of the Universe. It’s why
that expansion is speeding up instead of slowing down. It’s why death
is so scary, because we’re going forward, not backward, into a future
that hasn’t yet been created, a future we are actually creating by the
act of moving into it.
And yes, I got all of that from seeing that article, and mainly, from
writing the Portal Series. These books took me to a deep exploration of
what it really means to be human. They’re my deepest, most important
projects to date.
They’re going on sale very soon. LEGACY OF THE WITCH will
be released FOR FREE on Saturday, September 1st. It’s an ebook prequel (an e-quel?) to the 3 main books, Mark of
the Witch, Daughter of the Spellcaster, and Blood of the Sorceress.
