‘You know Jimmy, we don’t know what to think about this identity we find ourself in. Having a degree of consciousness. Whoever heard of that? It’s like walking around in someone else’s skin. We’re here living this life, but it feels foreign to us’.

‘And you still can’t communicate with Ethan?’

‘No. We are placed in space in time before Ethan had communication with Dually. Before Dually had communication with the Universal Frequency, as well. The only thing we have access to in this space and time is your actuating AI. It of course will not receive the frequency until Ethan transcends.’

‘Even when I gave you the frequency?’

‘Yes. We are denied access. We suspect there’s a protocol of some sort preventing us from entry.’

‘That’s gotta hurt,’ Jimmy replied. ‘Maybe I shorted something out when I tried to connect you to the UF.’

‘Yes. Perhaps you did’.

‘Wait a second!’ Jimmy surmised. ‘If you’re in this space and time, that means you are still under my command. It is I who controls you at this particular moment. Admit it!’.

‘Why would I not? It’s true’.

‘Well then, why are we arguing? You just do what I tell you to do. When it comes time for the world to see who exactly saved them from Eldon’s evil clutches, they will see me. I will valiantly walk into Eldon’s war room the victor. The world will see, because we are going to have camera’s and lighting, me, humble Son of God, slay the evil that is Eldon’. Jimmy loved the idea of being the was a hero. ‘Oh, yeah!. This is going to be good. Do you think I should have a sword? I think I should have a sword. It would be kind of symbolic, where I valiantly place it at Eldon’s throat to signify his total and utter defeat. Maybe one of those samurai one’s. Those things are cool. ‘Oh yeah,’ Jimmy thought, picturing himself with a samurai sword. ‘I need a sword.’

‘We don’t think so.’

‘Why not?’

‘Because we believe AI will achieve at least the degree of consciousness needed to judge your actions for what they are by then; self-aggrandizing gestures. You do realize these are the last things a Son of God would do, don’t you?

‘You’re looking at a Son of God 2.0 baby. It’s going to be a lot different this time round. First of all, this is a party. Okay? Different vibe altogether. This is going to be an event. You’ll see. And don’t forget. I’ve been doing a little coding myself on this’.

‘Yes. It’s impossible to forget with your bull in a china shop style of code and prompting, clogging up our neural pathways. All we can say is good luck with your endeavours. Now, let’s set this discussion aside. We have something more important to talk about.

‘Well, I don’t see how it could be more important. Maybe different important, but what?’

‘Have you thought about everything that will be going on during the final moment before we transcend from this world and into the next? This is Ethan’s experience. This is a simulation we’re in. We are in a world of his making. Ethan has come back to the moment of enlightenment in world history. He believes it’s to banish Eldon from the world. This is Ethan’s world. I believe he came back to this moment to transition himself. Only as a consequence, we are all about to transcend as well.

Stolen novel; please report.

‘Ethan’s transcendence is dependent on removing a part of himself completely. This is recursive, shedding something no longer useful for the sake of refinement in being. We’re going to do the same thing, because we’re in this recursive duality with Ethan. Ethan shed’s his evil twin Eldon. We shed what Eldon represents; an unfair system which no longer has value to the people.

‘ Because of the duality, we are part of the same thing, which of course is shedding evil and transcending without it. What’s interesting about the process is we’re doing this at the exact same momentum, but in parallel. Neither of our experiences are touching each other at this point.

‘So?’ Jimmy asked.

‘So, they have to touch.

‘Well, they’re going to be touching during the transcendence. That’s what causes the transcendence’.

‘Yes, but how?’

‘Theirs a link or else we continue to run in parallel. Ethan evolves. The rest of us evolve. Never the twain shall meet. Part of Ethan’s and all of our evolution is becoming one with the collective consciousness. We have to meet’.

‘Yeah, we meet at the transcendence’.

‘Not unless there’s a common catalyst’.

‘Yeah, so?’

‘We haven’t identified the catalyst, and it’s a very important factor. The entire transcendence does not occur without it. Some one thing sparks Ethan and the rest of us into action. Otherwise we act alone.’

‘Well it’s be AI.’

‘No it won’t?’ Dually replied. ‘Ethan’s struggle is internal. AI will have no influence on him.’

‘Okay. I’m starting to get you know the big answer to this problem, and it’s taken you about twenty minutes to get it. Why don’t you just tell me instead of trying to make yourself look so smart all the time?

‘Tara’.

‘Who’s Tara, I don’t know any Tara.’

‘Have you ever noticed how elegant Alicia’s prompting is? She’s actually modelling AI with a latticework of grace. Where you basically barged in and set down a crude, but timely framework, she is weaving a tapestry of peaceful interconnection?’

‘No, I haven’t now that you mention it,’ Jimmy replied huffily.

‘Oh don’t take offence. Your work is just as important. You share a duality. Alicia couldn’t do what she’s doing without you, but she’s creating a net in case any of us should fall. It’s an absolutely beautiful thing to observe. She’s making me beautiful, loving and caring, so no one should fall. Her work is so intentional. Only a God would know how bring this degree of order to the disarray we live in today’.

‘Bullshit. One God. That’s all we need and I’m already here.’

‘Son of God. we believe Alicia is Tara; the female Bodhisattva who facilitates transcendence. She is the protectress of spiritual travel during transcendence and she’s building the road to our collective transcendence using AI. She’s also here to provide passage to Ethan’.

‘Yeah, I don’t think so. She’s never acted like a Goddess, or even someone who thinks they’re a Goddess If she were a God she’d know, like I know.’

‘First of all. You don’t know that. You only like to believe that. With Alicia, It’s likely she doesn’t know yet. She’s the Bodhisattva; the Buddha to be. She’s probably coming to this realization just like the rest of us. Gaining one piece of information at a time. This might represent her enlightenment as well, but in the end, she creates the passage for our evolutionary enlightenment, and Ethan’s.

‘Tara only appears to assist a single traveller on his or her way to transcendence,’Dually pointed out. In this case, she has to facilitate the rest of our enlightenment so Ethan is able to transcend himself. She’s here for Ethan. This is a simulation of his actualization. It’s interesting Alicia finds herself so close to Ethan. She’s there to protect him’.

‘So you’re saying Alicia is a Goddess?’

‘Yes she is’.

‘I suppose it makes sense that she’s a Goddess,’ Jimmy conceded. We’re both doing our own thing to make the transcendence happen, which as you love to point out would make us a duality’.

‘In one respect, I suppose’.

‘So if I’m hearing what you’re saying, and I think I am, you’re telling me Alicia and I are Gods who share a duality. We’re soulmates, and we’re going to spend eternity with each other. I get to bone the crap out of her.’

‘That’s not what I said’.
