As the group looked around, the world appeared as inverted light, as if every object they viewed was being seen from the inside out. Every layer of reality stood visible in its own distinct way. Energy, light, and the underlying geometry, nodes, and arteries that carried it took on a fully animistic, panpsychist, hylozoistic distinction. There was no true void; what appeared as a void was merely a reconciliation of light—instead, the digestion and production of light itself could be witnessed.
"I remember now," said Nick.
"I remember, too," Betsy said. "I remember dying in the worst possible way—rotting to death in my own shit and piss in some unmonitored state psychiatric hospital."
Nick added, "Yes, I remember freezing to death on some beach, too drunk to feel the cold and get up to find warmth. I have the distinct feeling that I was simply done with that incarnation."
"I remember, too," said Rat. "I was sleeping in the RV I had just bought, trying to keep an old generator going, and the fumes from it knocked me out."
Then Barry nodded his head, followed by Larry, the Professor, and Varginah.
They all looked flush white as they peered down at their bodies, taking in the highly technologically advanced suits they were wearing.
"If we are dead, then where are we—and why would we require suits?" Barry asked.
Arelena spoke. "Because the suits are a construct of your mind, as you still cling to the idea of disparate separation when none exists. Your energy is reluctant to assimilate into the shared field. This ship represents a graduated comfort level—steps toward letting go. Yet the precision of the totality views this as a teleological process that every migrating, cultivating living organism undergoes.
"Think of it like mitosis: the process of cell division where a single cell splits into two genetically identical cells, crucial for growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction in eukaryotic organisms. In a way, you are now striving toward Anaphase. But think of this more as pure energy and the metabolic process of existence. You have created a construct from the information that you made available to yourselves. As you accept ever-greater forms, you can unlock transdimensional states that your current forms would not be capable of rationalizing.
"It is pure information—a complete lack of firewalls between you and the infinity that you are a part of. You all graduated to the next phase of shared consciousness and existence. You see, you are as much individuals as you are a construct that lives within your neighbor's mind. All suits are Extravehicular Mobility Units, all faces are masks, but energy in its pure state is undeniably authentic. You have made it to this place of total authenticity. You didn't die—because nothing dies, can die, or ever will die. The greater part of consciousness within you transcended the process through pain.
"All of you became homeless because you realized through incarnations that there exists no home in the dying stagnancy of bound carbon structures. The mind goes through a fermentation process—a necessary part of the very digestive mechanics of total being. I, too, am both a necessary construct of your minds and of all those going through this process right now in a shared, routine belief that, through creation, becomes form.
"As you learn to create more and realize that you are simultaneously the paintbrush, the canvas, the paint, and the mind, that is where the process flowers into unlimited, amazing potential. The best part of it all is that you get to succeed and fail while watching existence from the other side of reality, beyond the white noise."
