POV Main
Anybody who read The selfish gene by Dawkins, it’s book written in 1976, knows that he had chapter about memes. Today mem means haiku by pictures and words, composed in short form to make impression. Dawkins used word mem for description of simple ideas. Ideas have their own evolutionary space in brains of humans, of human societies. One can argue today, that also in neural networks of AIs. I was focused on human societies though. I read Dawkins. Maybe one more book of his, but I wasn’t happy, because he seemed to change himself into fighting atheist. What was sad, because I thought, that if he believed, that his ideas were better than religious ones, they would win with time without his angry charges.
I also know, what Peterson could do with religious mythos. He could filter them and get valuable essence. As most brilliant theoretics, Jordan Peterson had problems, when he tried to create political movement. Videos on youtube and twelve rules were nice. I saw there such hardcore undercurrents, that, I think, it was one of most terrifying horror movies I watched. But there was JP always helpful and sympathetic, and people seemed to forget about undercurrents. Maybe except few.
Why am I talking about them? Somehow they helped me create Devas ideology. They shaped my point of view in some areas.
When you think about evolution of ideas, you must remember, that mind is lazy. It’s lot easier to create something new, by twisting old and adding little new material, than by sculpting something from basic level to developed form. Radically different ideas, from known before, are accepted very slowly and with sacrifices. As you can see, when you watch history of religion through centuries, or history of science. Only war or catastrophe can pressure human society to accelerate change. Pseudo religious ideology I helped create, was seen by me as huge conglomerate of simple ideas. To be adopted by people, it needed to be something similar to what they already knew. It should be also different enough, to be seen as new thing.
Concept of Devas exists in Hindu and Buddhist religions. I heard summary of what these religions were about. I knew not much about them. There was period in my life, when I was interested in zen, but mainly because some books with koans made great impression on me, as gateless gate. Well, not all koans. I gathered, what I know about Devas from religions. There was also connection to Ahriman. It seemed, that religion of Zoroastrianism was fighting against Hinduism and Devas were seen as bad there. I were searching for links that would glue idea of Devas to Judaism and Christian religion. That was entity of angel. No, I rejected that link to angels. Angels were useless entities without they own brains, if you looked at them closer. Devas need to be something important. Peterson teaches, that most important is order and feelings. Bulb under my skull lights up.
In Judaism, Moses brought down stone tablet with symbols, commandments. It was gift, after he talked with god. Yes, that was connection. The Ark was crate, where stone tablet was stored. In times of Moses and long after, sacrifices from animals was ordinary way to pray to god. This picture of stone tablet was enough to impress supporters.
With Christian mythology it was harder to find connection. Jesus was too non-violent. I could only presume, that he merged with his bio-stone before crucifixion, but it was story for advanced supporters, maybe even super advanced. There were some words of Jesus, that Peter will be his next corner stone or some other suggestions, but it wasn’t such symbolic, as with Moses.
In Islam angels and other entities were enough, to be archetype of Devas. There was enough bloodthirst too.
Aztec and Inka civilizations could be connected to Devas. Even native Americans with their totems, were part of the puzzle.
Now I needed to make good, universal story.
God or Nature. I needed to discuss some choices with rest of Unlimited Devas. God or Nature sends on Earth entities known as Devas. They are closer to perfection than we. They are conscious tools, that should help us with evolutionary ascension. Or return balance to ecosystem. They’re not perfect and to grow, they mark their chosen ones. They existed before dinosaurs era. They periodically were send to earth. They’re guardians of Earth’s ecosystem.
Chosen ones got powers from them. There is huge responsibility put on chosen ones, as they could help societies, where they live, develop or decline. Devas are searching chosen ones from dominant species. Sometimes they chose other species, mainly to harass unresponsible societies.
Devas have ability to contact through dreams or mental communication, their chosen ones and others. I was sure, they would be able contact others in the future. They even became mentally similar to their chosen ones, to know life from their point of view. That way, they can understand us and support us in our struggles. Also, if our species would become failure, they would know.
Failure from Devas perspective is among others, unbalanced growth. If humanity wants to be evaluated positively, it needs to do tasks, that balance overgrown population. One of the tasks is to move hidden carbon into biosphere. There is lot of carbon hidden under surface of Earth, that could be used as building blocks of life. Coal, oil, natural gas should be excavated. Their natural place is in the cycle of life. Another task is, to cultivate places with no or not much life, to higher levels of life. It means that deserts and other barren terrains should be changed into better places for life. Raising of global temperatures is not threat to nature, as there were millions of years with very high global temperatures. It’s threat to human civilization, as it was build to work under lesser global temperatures. Foresting Sahara is more than enough, to stabilize global warming effect.

All the harm, that humanity done to nature by building technological civilization, would be forgiven, if humans could transplant life on another planet. It’s not important, if it would be life friendly to humans, ecosystems that would support humans. Nature existed before humans, and will exist after humanity disappears. Task tied to our use of metals with harm to Nature, is to sow Nature on other worlds.
There is knowledge, that Devas imparted to us about cycles in nature. Nature is sustaining its creation in certain way, due to evolutionary ascension. More and more complicated creatures are created with time. For complicated beings to exist in fluency within Nature, less complicated beings need to support such existence. There is no need for you to eat grass or worms, as there is no fear or insult in living by the rules, as Nature created you. Human culture of farming, that accelerates circulation of matter in ecosystem isn’t bad. Bad is inefficiency, as when you eat grass, and don’t digest cellulose in it. Cow can digest cellulose. You stole place of cow in ecosystem and you don’t even work half as efficient as cow. Who did you help that way? Not Nature, for sure. Cow, that would never exist, as there is no grass for it, because you ate it? Also no. What is the result. You rejected Nature that way, because you wanted to deny, that you were part of it and its cycles. You don’t do it, because you’re sympathetic. You do it, to feed your pride, to feel better, to humiliate Nature. Death isn’t failure in Devas eyes. Life wasted for delusions is.
It was important to stress it like that, as Devas were feeding on human bodies. As they were higher in the cycle.
For humans, Devas say, living according to Nature means be cooperative, use your brain, nourish your feelings. Cooperation is basics. Few decades earlier, hundred years if you want to be sure, humanity wasn’t dominant species on Earth. Ants were. All of ants weighted together had bigger biomass, than humanity weighted together. Ants aren’t complicated creatures, but they are very cooperative. Use your brain means, that you should live productive life. You don’t need to be scientist. Efficient choices are enough. Society, as Devas would like it to be, should reward your efforts. Point on nourishing feelings for Devas mean, that you accept that Nature isn’t perfect. You should support people, that was failed by Nature. Those are disabled by errors of Nature or people with cancers or others, hurt by their imperfect bodies from inside by random chance and natural tendency.
We, under name of Unlimited Devas, want to build better society. We want people, that want to live with healthy style, according to Nature. That would work with us and enjoy live with us. That would be peaceful daily, but wouldn’t be afraid to use violence, if extreme situation occurs. We want you, if you can see ways to make world better, without making it worse temporary first. We believe in evolution, not revolution. We believe in science, but not in being enslaved to science.
Who we don’t want with us? People, who have recipe for perfect world or society. People that won’t work physically at least one day weekly. People, that can’t holding hands with each other for half an hour.
Then, there was second part to those, we would sieve from general supporters and show them magic.
Devas are alive. They taught us magic. It’s not real magic, but so advanced rules of universe, that we call it magic. There is price for Devas to stay on Earth. We need you to share this burden. The best way to help us, is to develop your abilities. You can support us, by working with us, using your talents.
There is possibility, that you are talented in some kind of magic. If it’s important to you, we can try to check it. Unfortunately, even checking for magic is road with load of physical and mental hardships. It will be painful and disorienting mentally. Chance for talent in magic is low too. Please reconsider your options. You can try magic after you use your other talents for Devas.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have magic figured out. But some subjects to experiments could help us.
There was another problem. Huntress didn’t start to work on magic. We couldn’t have Unlimited Deva without magic.
If we could create magic users without help of bio-stones, we would have almost sect of cultivators. That would be game changer.
I send my notes to Huntress. She wrote, that I won’t become famous writer, but she don’t have anyone better in that moment. Later, she did power point presentation on basis of my writings.
I wrote another version, with more words and more subdued emotions, as she needed it for her PR aims. She already had someone, that made her shorts, short videos, to put on different internet platforms.
We had active accounts on twitter, fubook, insta and many more probably. I was happy, when I wrote something and not, when I needed to check response on internet channels, platforms.
We discussed this content on online meeting with rest of Unlimited Devas. They had some comments and remarks, but overall it went through.
Huntress and Mercy started to advertise us in net. We had quite big backlash from vegans, but it only increased pool of people we get to. It also covered other topics in internet, that could be used against us. We became local attraction for some time, our headquarter, as people wanted to see, who caused storm in a glass of water.
Then, there was some big political quarrel and people jumped on newer hot topic. But some stayed with us. War-Saw is quite big, so we had outer circle supporters, lokas, with over hundred of them. There were also half supporters, who visited us from time to time, and online supporters, that lived beyond War-Saw.
After some time, we took lokas by bus to farm, to check, if they would really work physically by one day. On second trip we had three quarters of lokas from first trip and some new people. We gave those people some accommodation and money after they worked on farm, just not enough, to justify their work effort.
Some hardcore group of our supporters was growing and we could see that. Huntress told me, that I should think, how to show them magic in a way, that it would be unforgettable experience. I asked, if she had some idea. She answered, that she had, but it was better for each of us, to think separately, as we had different characters.
I guessed, that she wanted to create some kind of theatrical event. For me, I was most impressed, when I could touch magic myself. Maybe not touch, maybe feel. Hardcore group of supporters had twenty two people. My approach was to use some Unlimited Devas and divide hardcores into groups. They could see magic closely then.
Huntress idea was about short theatrical show and some more magic later. We mixed our ideas.
