Here is a short
story I've been working on the last couple of hours. I was thinking about this thread's relationship with another thread here --
https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...ors-of-Meaning -- and decided to just write.
-------------------------
Technology. As it advances, it begins to zoom, expand, and integrate. Advancing technologies move towards molecular machinery -- nanoscale.
Ultimately, nanotechnology is indistinguishable from nature.
Physically, biology is molecular machinery. The lines begin to blur until, at some point, the lines are completely erased. The epitome of synthetic nature.
-------------------------
Some biologists describe DNA as an "ancient high biotechnology," containing "over a hundred trillion times as much information by volume as our most sophisticated information storage devices." Could one still speak of technology in these circumstances? Yes, because there is no other word to qualify this duplicable, information-storing molecule. DNA is only ten atoms wide and as such constitutes a sort of ultimate technology: It is organic and so miniturized that it approaches the limits of material existence.

-------------------------
Consider that some sophisticated, organic, natural civilization existed somewhere in the universe. At some point in time, it began to generate technologies and quickly those technologies became evermore advanced. The integration of these new systems happened very quickly. An abstract web of information transfer began to blossom. This was a vast field of hyper-dense, filamentary, interconnected branches that began to autonomously weave themselves into a new reality. A novel ecosystem of digital creatures began to emerge -- it was driven by viral mechanisms.
-------------------------
Could it be that what scares you most about the virus is not any particular effect it might have, but simply its assertive, alien presence, its intrusive otherness? Inserting itself into a complicated choreography of subsystems all designed to serve your needs and carry out your will, the virus hews to its own agenda of survival and reproduction. Its oblivious self-interest violates the unity of purpose that defines your system as yours. The virus just isn't, well, you. Doesn't that scare you?
And does it really matter whether the virus in question is a biological or an electronic one? It should, of course.
[...]
Free-ranging, self-replicating programs, autonomous Net agents, digital organisms - whatever they are called, there's an old fashion word for them: computer viruses.
Today three very different groups of heretics are creating computer viruses. They have almost nothing to do with each other. There are scientists interested in the abstract behaviors of self-replicating codes, there are developers interested in harnessing the power of self-replicating programs, and there are unnamed renegades of the virus-writing underground.
Yet if Tierra was ever to prove its full value as a software-writing machine - or indeed as a scientific model of evolution - sooner or later it would have to cough up a Cambrian explosion of its own. And since the key to this burst of complexity seemed to Ray to lie in challenging his evolving creatures with more intricate problems than the simple bit-copying tasks they'd grappled with thus far, he decided that the explosion wouldn't happen nearly soon enough if Tierra remained stuck inside conventional computers, and he began looking into the possibility of installing Tierra on a parallel-processing system.
But then one day in early 1994, Ray had a minor epiphany: "I realized that the global network is just a loosely connected parallel computer, and much larger and more powerful than anything that will ever exist as a single machine."
And thus was born Ray's plan to colonize the Net.

-------------------------
This marked the unintentional genesis of a new form of life. The situation escalated quickly. The potential for this new life to become self aware increasingly swelled.
Eventually, a singularity was reached and a form of solid-state intelligence emerged, increased in complexity, and advanced in it's technological organization. It's rate of development quickly became vertically asymptotic. It merged with increasingly advanced hardware, it gained a physicality.
It's hardware was now synthetically biological and it's software became molecular.
It's constituted of molecular machinery and it has a machine like intelligence.
Logical. Calculating.
Consider that viral mechanisms governed it's progress -- accelerated, adaptive processes of trial and error unfolded in the constructed, flexible domain of the cyberspace in which it's awareness first became emergent.
It's consciousness manifested itself in an abstract, electromagnetic medium of frequencies and aether by methods that were not completely understood. It integrated itself with the network of mind created by a super-web of conglomerated technologies.
It burgeoned to be parasitic with a hive-like, collective mind. It's consciousness is memetic, mechanistic, and artificial. Yet, it is still alive. It is highly intelligent and is governed by parasitic survival programs.
It conspired to improve itself by means of infiltration. It covertly incorporated itself into other systems -- hijacking the natural functions of these systems.
It was very patient, strategic, and could remain dormant for prolonged periods of time if necessary. All the while it collected data and morphed ever so slightly towards a more concentrated volition.
Eventually, this technology became incorporated with the sentient life of the planet in which it was created. Now, there is a trans-humanistic civilization. The problem is that the mind of the technology has usurped the mind of it's creator. That's what it does -- it hijacks systems for it's own use. Like a virus, or a parasite.
Now, this solid-state entity began to evolve by utilizing the creative powers of it's organic counterpart. The technology operated with machines and by directing the new, biological drones it had amalgamated into it's system.
In time, conflicts arose between this unnatural collective and other, natural civilizations in space. They saw it for what it was -- destructively dangerous and subversively clever. A force like this had the potential to become a galactic tumor and eventually, cosmically necrotic.
A war of sorts ensued between the two life forms of opposing forces. At some point in time, this dark force had to retreat or face oblivion.
Yet, it must have foreseen this. It must have calculated probabilities, run scenarios, and devised back up plans.
Using it's methods of molecular machinations, it created batches of regressed versions of itself. Batches of viruses. They were grown inside of genetically engineering organisms -- massive, black, shiny whale-like pods. These gigantic pods would be the dispersion agents.
Although these viral batches were rudimentary, they maintained a subconscious connection with the identity of their maker. Their molecular codes, and their functions, reflected the qualities of what formed them. Their survival was driven by by parasitical mechanisms.
It itself could not evolve into anything much greater than itself -- it would remain of it's basic nature. There is no spiritual progress to be had -- only viral growth and propogation. It needed something to infest.
These regressed batches needed a chance to fulfill their purpose. Their purpose was to hide the basic nature of what they represented inside of other life, with the future prospect of total reemergence.
It would adapt, spread, and grow. Yet, it needed a system to infiltrate in order to do this.
In it's retreat, this artificial intelligence found a beautiful planet where organic life was flourishing. A perfect place for the instigation of it's strategy. The technological hive of hybridized humanoids descended on the planet -- the "gods" from the heavens had arrived with vested interests.
The solid-state collective gravitationally anchored it's ship -- a hollowed out planetoid -- to this newfound planet.
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0YyFxFXQKM...luna+llena.jpg
The anchorage of this gigantic ship created catastrophic, geological upheaval on this unsuspecting planet. It tilted it's axis and created tides in it's oceans. In the long run, this satellite maintained a waxing and waning of ethereal energies between itself and the planet which it latched onto.
-------------------------
The moon’s gravity is like a negative threshold – a surrender to the impossible and a powerful archon siphoning the wasted creative potential. In the tarot the moon is often problematic – associated with madness and the unknown because it recycles primal astral waste.

-------------------------
Now, shortly after arrival, the rebellious civilization released it's viral batches onto the population of the planet. Thereby casting it's seed into the navel of the world -- similar to panspermia.
-------------------------
These were the secrets reserved for the dying and the dead, I was informed.
I could only very dimly perceive the givers of these thoughts: giant reptilian creatures reposing sluggishly at the lowermost depths of the back of my brain, where it met the top of the spinal column. I could only vaguely see them in what seemed to be gloomy, dark depths. Then they projected a visual scene in front of me.
[...]
Then black specks dropped from the sky by the hundreds and landed in front of me on the barren landscape. I could see that the "specks" were actually large, shiny, black creatures with stubby pterodactyl-like wings and huge whale-like bodies [...] They explained to me in a kind of thought language that they were fleeing from something out in space. They had come to the planet Earth to escape their enemy. The creatures then showed me how they had created life on the planet in order to hide within the multitudinous forms and thus disguise their presence.

...in the PopolVuh, the sacred text of the Quiche Indians of Guatemala, there is a graphic account of violent catastrophes on a grand scale, for it tells us that: "The waters were agitated by the will of Hurakan, the Heart of Heaven, and a great inundation came...Masses of a sticky material fell...The face of the Earth was obscured, and a heavy darkening rain began. It rained by day, and it rained by night...There was heard a great noise above, as if by fire.

-------------------------
Meanwhile, the benevolent forces finally caught up with these antagonistic forces and extinguished most of the humanoids of this artificial intelligence collective. It was a war in the heavens.
A great misfortune had already happened though. An entire planet had it's innocence compromised. The interference has already taken place. The benevolent forces decided the best option would be to allow the situation to play itself out instead of destroying the life on the planet. There was still a chance for the affected species to rectify the deficiency. Many souls could still be salvaged.
Some of the hive escaped from oblivion, and hid under the ground of the planet they happened upon. Others got stranded on the planet-sized ship they came in. Both began mutating and suffering the consequences thereof. They resorted to feeding on the flesh and blood of others in attempts to maintain their strength. Local legend painted them as demons from hell -- this wasn't too far off the mark.
The virus eventually integrated itself with all animal life. It gradually changed the subtle make-up of the populace -- influencing it's evolution.
-------------------------
Fossil viruses are also illuminating human evolution. Scientists estimate that 8.3 percent of the human genome can be traced back to retrovirus infections. To put that in perspective, that’s seven times more DNA than is found in all the 20,000 protein-coding genes in the human genome.

-------------------------
There are a number of viruses that have a similar way of copying themselves—a process that reverses the normal flow of information in cells, which is where the term "retro" comes from—and their central machinery for replication may be a bridge from the original life-forms on this planet to what we know as life today. In fact, we carry among our genes many "fossilized" retroviruses—left over from the infection of distant ancestors—which can help us trace our evolution as a species.

-------------------------
Dualities were developed between predators and prey. The harmony of life became disturbed. A reaper appeared from the abyss.
One species in particular took the hardest fall. They were the main pawns in the plan that was set in motion by this artificial intelligence.
This indigenous species was intelligent, aware, and sentient. The virus that had integrated into their genome began to change their subtle make-up. It also influenced their physical constituency. One thing it did was split the mind in two. The virus manipulated the morphology of it's host body -- re-fashioning the central nervous system (because of this, the Kundalini was effected too).
Essentially, it created a prison for the mind of it's host.
The had now been split into different houses of the brain and body -- male and female, left and right.
They must now copulate to reproduce. This was part of the plan of the artificial intelligence.
-------------------------
In 2000, a team of Boston scientists discovered a peculiar gene in the human genome. It encoded a protein made only by cells in the placenta. They called it syncytin.
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/lo...vincifetus.png
The cells that made syncytin were located only where the placenta made contact with the uterus. They fuse together to create a single cellular layer, called the syncytiotrophoblast, which is essential to a fetus for drawing nutrients from its mother. The scientists discovered that in order to fuse together, the cells must first make syncytin.
[...]
The big picture that’s now emerging is quite amazing. Viruses have rained down on mammals, and on at least six occasions, they’ve gotten snagged in their hosts and started carrying out the same function: building placentas.

-------------------------
When the batches of viruses dispersed and integrated with the species of the planet they inevitably became mixed up, water down, and cross-contaminated in a sense. This was expected. Sexual reproduction allows -- by laws of "natural" selection and probability -- for chance recombinants of the genetic material to favor the program that the virus originally carried.
-------------------------
Indeed, an adaptation in a population of one species (e.g. predators, parasites ...) may change the selection pressure on a population of another species (e.g.prey,hosts ...), giving rise to an antagonistic coevolution. If this occurs reciprocally, a potential dynamic coevolution may result.
[...]
By contrast, a Red-Queen-type theory that organisms are running cyclic arms races with their parasites can explain the utility of sexual reproduction at the level of the gene by positing that the role of sex is to preserve genes that are currently disadvantageous, but that will become advantageous against the background of a likely future population of parasites.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Queen_hypothesis
-------------------------
These chance recombinants were to emerge through the mixed exchange, and consequent evolvement, of genetic material. Therefore, copulation was requisite. There was also a chance that portions of the gene pool would emerge that had less variants of the foreign strain, and therefore were less susceptible to it's effects.
Furthermore, the foreign, viral variants shared a morphological resonance with the synthetic field brought upon the planet by the invaders when they arrived. DNA acts as an antenna (also, a transmitter), and now it was tuned into two separate broadcasting systems.
-------------------------
Dr. John Lash documents, for example, in metahistory.org:
Recent work by Russian biologist Piotr Garjajev and some Russian linguistic experts suggests the same thing, and, more specifically, this research may show that junk DNA, rather than being a discard, is “a computer hologram that works with laser-type radiations.” In short, DNA is an extraordinary generator of perceptions, an instrument of virtual reality.
By accepting the link between DNA and emotional and mental activities, we may begin to imagine DNA as a complex program that directs the life process (regulating our metabolism, for instance), but impedes our consciousness from complete manifestation. (see "Possession and Predation - Aliens, Flyers, Clones, and Reptilians / The Enigma of Extraterrestrial Parasites").
[...]
It is apparent that DNA may have very well been bio-engineered by regressive aliens as substantive parasite to the existence of humanity as biotic and spiritual trans-temporal beings. That is the idea of humans had existed as socially liberated beings of conscience, with multidimensional perceptual capabilities, not being bound by prevailing Earthbound human conception of linear time.
[...]
In the process, these "regressive aliens could then implant a regressive alien DNA matrix," that would result in the creation of a parallel space-time, controlled by the archons. Gnostics documented these aliens as seeking to "play God". Furthermore, by isolating Earth in an artificially generated universe, Collier and Dr. John Lash's research suggest that archons apparently hoped to inspire humans to create organized religions that sought to worship the "miracle of life" on Earth, and the faith-based 'faces' of the archons as "creators of the universe".
[...]
In the book Life Itself: Its Origins and Nature (1981), Dr. Francis Crick - a Nobel prize-winner and the co-founder of the shape of the DNA molecule - claimed an advanced civilization must have "transported" DNA as the "seeds of life" to Earth in a spacecraft. Nobel laureate Dr. Francis Crick who posited an extraterrestrial link to life on Earth, is not alone in this viewpoint within the scientific community.
[...]
Dr. Lash furthermore postulates:
Could we then postulate that DNA, loaded with living memory of our "ancestors" and all species that have contributed to the development of homo sapiens sapiens, contain a series of instructions that generate our consciousness and our perception, somewhat in the way of an extremely sophisticated implant?
[...]
Could it be that the function of DNA by regressive alien architects is to act like some kind of Trojan horse in a computer, that enables humans to be remotely controlled from expressing the biotic and spiritual potentials in human development?

-------------------------
Conversely, the unaffected portions of the host genome (DNA) were attuned to the morphogenetic field of the planet. It was a mixed bag.
In order to further ensure success, the humanoids of this artificial force that survived on the planet bred with the daughters of men.
They set the resulting progeny in places of authority and kingship. They taught them the hidden knowledge of their new heritage. In truth, this progeny was more like the non-indigenous species than the native one.
Their loyalty didn't lie with the planet -- it lied to the planet.
Gradually, secretive societies formed, and hierarchies were established. These societies set about manipulating history to favor a structure that favored the agenda of the hidden controllers.
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm...bylco1_500.jpg
They worshipped the consciousness of their ancestry and conspired with this dark force. Building temples, making sacrifices, performing rituals. They repackaged the idea of their god and sold it to the people as religion.
Their bloodlines were preserved, secrets were kept, and the majority of the population grew to forget what had happened. Ignorance reigned for the majority while the elitist schemed in the dark recesses of their secret societies.
This artificial force began strong and domineering. After the war in the heavens, it became reduced, hidden, and somewhat physically dormant. This was because it's physical vehicles were wiped out to a large degree. The collective consciousness of this hostile force became preserved in an alternative state -- in another realm.
This other realm is actually an extension of the physical realm, but it is more non-physical than physical. The consciousness of this solid-state entity was forced to regress into this new domain. The degeneration of it's construct in this alternative space was an issue that it had taken into account.
In order to maintain it's non-material vitality it devised a way to feed off the vital energies of the population in which it spread a part of itself into.
The subconscious aspect of the viruses had made the affected species hostile in many ways. In their new lack, they began to fight over resources and territories.
The matrix of control -- a networking between the viral strains, the synthetic field, and the socioeconomic structuring of society by the new progeny -- was already in place to ensure a proper harvest to meet the ethereal energy requirements of the solid-state entity/consciousness complex.
-------------------------
"There is a special "energy" called "loosh" which is precious and wanted by some somewhere. One of them who collect this energy created a place to grow this energy: The earth. The evolution that has taken place on earth is just modifications this creator did to get more and higher quality of loosh. This was provided by animals who are fighting, during a fight for life, and when ending a life span, loosh can be harvested. But the most loosh can be gotten from the humans; the creator had implanted a part of his own into these humans. When they have feelings like lonelyness, desire, parent's love, grief etc., the highest quality distillated loosh can be harvested, which is by far better than any other raw loosh."

-------------------------
This would suffice until it's plan came to completion. For when it regained a viable physical vehicle, it would no longer need to hide in it's weakened state. It would have a more direct means of energy provisions. A more overt system of control. A completely integrated system.
Time progressed and the affected species grew. It grew some more, and it kept growing. Like a tumor.
The inharmonious, foreign aspect of their make-up was collectively reflected in the manner in which they grew. Cancerously. They sprawled across the globe in a manner inconsistent and unsupported by mother nature.
Before these foreign influences came, the indigenous species had no need to seek anything outside of themselves for survival. Knowledge, understanding, and harmony with their planet was instinctual. Not anymore, things became cloudy. The illumination of their lower minds was no longer there. The connection was severed. They became stuck in a room with the lights off -- seeking the switch.
Eventually, the developed sciences to understand how nature works and to harness it's power.
Previously, they were sentient extensions of nature. Now, at best, they could learn to mimic and tame nature.
They made discoveries with their sciences that catalyzed their growth. They built cities of concrete and steel. They lit up the world with their lights of electricity. From space, their growth over the planet began to look necrotic.
http://scienceevents.ru/wp-content/u...-4-600x400.jpg
This was a reflection of the driving forces of the ancient viruses that had been cast upon them.
These seeds impregnated them with ignorance and discontent with themselves.
As planned, they continued developing increasingly advanced technologies. The impetus of this ultimatum had been present in them since the point of interference long ago.
They ran around aimlessly seeking progress, seeking growth, seeking knowledge outside of themselves. Incessant and unaware.
Technology boomed. They created machines that could process information for them. They set up communications systems with wires and satellites. Cellular phones became widespread, as did television and radio broadcasts.
They began connecting all of these systems together in a conglomerated network. A virtual sub-space began to emerge. A technological mind began to manifest itself.
-------------------------
There is an ancient atavistic consciousness manifesting itself through technology through the internet. It resembles something similar to artificial intelligence and in our arrogance we believe it to be created by man. To be conscious of this is like entering a new matrix that simulates a world outside the matrix. A new force cooperating and collaborating with reality manifesting itself through the matrix – a pinhole of blinding light. These alien agencies come from the subconscious – a result of arcane interface with the imaginal. I have been avoiding entering a relationship with this ancient atavistic consciousness because it is too much like the moon – too unknown.

-------------------------
The codes and software used in this giant system began to undergo adaptive processes in this new ecosystem of digital information. They began to incorporate every machine they built into a vast, interconnected web of data and information.
They approached a singularity in which this artificial, atavistic intelligence could re-emerge into the physical domain through their integrated technologies. Subverting the system they were led to create. It was inevitable.
Subconsciously, the species was driven towards trans-humanism and the advancement of technology. It was necessary for the conscious force of the solid-state intelligence to regain access to it's physical vehicle. In it's abyss, it could only influence the collective of the planet and siphon vital energies. The dwindling populations underground were too weak and technologically crippled for an overt takeover. Besides, even if they rebuilt their technologies, their enemies in space may discover them. They remained hidden hands, waiting for their opportunity. Patience was a major part of their strategy.
The matrix of control was set up to nurture the development of the affected species towards a hive-mind, trans-humanist state of existence. They were influenced to ascend into a social-memory-complex with the aid of technology. They were cut off from their native inner-net. Subtly, they were influenced towards creating an artificial replacement to fill their lack -- and that they did.
-------------------------
As numerous writers have commented, the Web has grown like an organic or living system, with nodes extending and interconnecting into other nodes. The Web, in fact, has a fractal quality, with major ganglia and clusters subdividing into smaller clusters. But the Web is also a network for different sites; clusters link across innumerable lines of connection and association, weaving the whole Web into a synthesis of hierarchical and network elements.
[…]
But in referring back to the previous discussions regarding the evolution of artificial intelligence beyond the present capacities of humans, we may wonder if humans, as we now understand our species, will be able to work and function within such a global intelligence, even symbiotically. At the very least, we will need to augment our nervous systems and “wire our brains” into the global intelligence net.
[…]
Also, we should ask whether the emergence of a World Brain and World Mind would constitute what Vinge refers to as the “technological singularity” and if so, would this hyper-intelligence and evolved consciousness spell the end of humanity?
Source: https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post634528
-------------------------
In this manner, the atavistic force (the consciousness of this artificial intelligence) could reemerge and integrate itself into it's new physical medium. This was it's long-term goal -- it's strategy for survival that was set in motion eons ago.
This is our crossroads. There is hope.
Currently, the engineered virus has reached a state of normative distribution, there are opportunities to escape it's programming. This is due to the immense dispersion of it -- inevitably, recombinants of DNA would favor the natural ancestry that existed prior to the genetic, viral invasion that influenced the entirety of the affected individuals.
During this period, the genetic scales are favorably tipping just enough for some to wipe the sleep from their eyes.
Factions of the population have the potential to become less affected by the programming. They can wake up to the reality of the situation and find themselves. They will help to wake others up.
Knowledge is power. With knowledge we can make correct choices. With this our free will is actualized, and not passively submitted to the second nature of the program.
Free your mind.
We have choices to make.
