It wasn’t really the worst that was shocking; it was the sheer force behind that communication that got to me. “Did… did you guys hear that?” I stammered.
Zoe and Chase both looked at me and they both looked sick, nodding in agreement. They felt it too.
These are the things that really matter and so “do not be afraid,” the presence told me. What we have is actually a way of making the best of things. Certainly, no malicious intention here. We are. .. Curious. In fact, it has been so long since we met such characters on the verge of becoming trans-human.
But mustering all the strength I could get, I directed my mind and tried to respond back. They asked me: “Who are you? Where are you?”
A wave went through the system and the feeling of laughter resonated through the thoughts of the aliens that were now in our heads. Basically, it can be said what our company is and this location is? these are complex questions. In terms as such, we are what you can turn into. This place is both here and not here, the limen of reality where the concept and the figure coalesce.
‘So you are telling me this is what we are going to get if we decide to become one with the cosmos?’ Chase asked, almost breaking down in the face of too much to comprehend.
‘Yes and no,’ answered the other. When you look at things or people, you only get a glimpse of the potential that you have inside you and is visible only up to your level of consciousness. True ascension is. .. More. Far more.
While their presence spoke, the world grew darker and the events of the world changed around them. I thought I saw impossible vistas worlds upon worlds, realities upon realities, nested into each other in gorgeous, multifaceted, ever-opening spirals.
“But what about our humanity?” I said worriedly, getting to the crux of everyone’s concern since this entire ordeal started. As we rise up in form, do we shed off what we are in the process?”
There was a silence for a few moments, a thought-like process on the alien’s part.
“You would change, certainly. But as I have found, change is the way of the world. Are you not even different now from the humans who you used to be? The question now is not about the change that will happen but the change that will take place.”
Zoe moved closer. I think her scientific background made her forget about politely reacting to the sight. So, instead of asking ‘Can you show us?’, which literally translates into ‘Aid our speaking so that we may get to know what this ascension means’?
Yes, “Yes we can try,” the presence replied. But I say with caution to so much as get a brief look at the truth, which is ascension may be too much for your current bodies to handle. Do you want to endure that risk in your business?”
I turned to my companions and could recognize my blend of at least fear and determination in everyone’s gaze. Thus, we had come this far. We couldn’t retreat now, which simply meant the battle had just begun.
“We’re ready,” I said, and I realized I had probably added more emphasis on the word ‘ready’ than what I could say.
“Very impressive and acknowledged”, the presence said very well. ,” Open your minds. Give up your expectations before your encounter. See”
Suddenly, my consciousness expanded. It was a feeling I wouldn’t know unless in a situation where we were joining the Architect in the very first place. I was in all places and at every time at the same time. While in the other realm, I witnessed the creations and destructions of galaxies, births of universes and deaths of others, the beauty of dancing quantum mechanics, and the vastness of existence in its entirety and encapsulation of the universe’s complexities.
And I saw us humanity as a shining thread in that dark thread, a thread which is full of possibilities. I saw what we could become: humans possessing minds and spirits devoid of the restraints of a material body and free to mold the Universe according to their desires.
But I also noticed the price tag. The cost and the value of the passage in Creating a Connection were on par. The memories, the feelings, the very identity that made us human are subtracted, eliminated and offered to extraterrestrial deities.
When it had come, it went just as fast again; the vision was gone. I woke up in my body and was breathing heavily while tears rolled down my cheeks. Both Zoe and Chase appeared to feel the same way, shocked by the things that we had witnessed.
So now “you know,” the presence replied softly. This is the decision which has been presented to you. Stay a man; confined to the abilities, the life and the powers of your present state, or rise and be a thing superior to a man. More. But be aware that there’s no changing the decision once the commitment has been made.”
I was a little befuddled, seeking my footing, my voice, still processing the scene which unfolded in front of me. “But… how can we ever make this choice? Not simply the choice for our own selves, but for the universe?”
The unsaid presence replied with “That is why you were given the faculty of decision. As we can see, the path of ascension is not something that can be compelled. It has to be taken willingly, with intentions well understood about what it entails. ”
Once the shifter thoughts had receded, I realized that I could hear Alessandro’s voice coming through the neural link that connected us. Hello Brianne, Zoe, Chase, hello? Oh my God, we have been calling you for so long; are you fine?
Hours? Dreamed it seemed to have been only five minutes. I shook my head, as if to knock the fog away. “Yeah, we are… at least, I think we are fine, Alessandro. But there is… I do not know how to explain this…”
“You need to come back,” Alessandro said. There was uneasiness in his tone. “‘There is an activity’. The wailings.. they are increasing more and more daily. And this breathtaking power increases occurrences all over the world.
Then a sense of dread began boiling within me like a hot water kettle. Some of the questions that create the information content include the following:
I saw an opportunity to look at Chase with a meeting of my eyes and turn my head back to face Alessandro, who was looking deadly serious when he began to speak. “The one that is before dimensional collapse,” said Zoe. .. I think our realities are blending and soon, the decision will not be in our hands. ”
I glanced at Zoe and Chase and I could see my own terror inside of them. We had come in search of some explanations for the chaos existing in society, only to get more questions and the looming time bomb that was capable of destroying everything that concerned us.
As we turned to head back through the tear, a final thought from the alien presence echoed in our minds.
“Oh Children of Earth, choose wisely. It is the last stand, the culmination of the fight not just for oneself or for a group of people or for the entirety of humanity, but for all existence.”
The tear before us throbbed and if one were to look closely, they would find the edge slowly blunting, blurring and wavering. As we moved towards it, preparing to go back to our world and accepting the impossible choice that was to be made a storm of energy burst out of the rift.
The last thing that I remember was the brightness, the light, then suddenly the blackness.
