REMAINS

It’s dust over the flames 🔥

Address : THE GREAT Beginnings @ Death

Redressed : A new identity emerges regardless! Don’t you ever envy someone for having that.

As each cause awakens to its own effect

Every birth finds its ultimate companion in death

And like a Person, Purpose and a Place brought under a total arrest

Everything leads itself to a final rest.

Futuristic 2050

A Poetic Drift where I left off and dreamt for an unfortunate length of time —only to discover how long it takes to explore the whole world.

Where the elusive allures!

To a Life so loaned to other

grounds

A Rare Devotion, on which - relentless is found...

For it's just once... only once, thro life's door -antiquity-goes by to bygones. Yes. So said, as in begone,

Beholding humanity’s substance to all it’s sums;

For that—until next, to be counted upon!

O look there !

All around, there’s Renaissance burgeoning on and on,

Ever to be present but never to be nearly found!

With transience connecting each to the other in all its forms,

As elusive illusion takes on a new form, turning itself to get totally transformed;

But, for once, the reborn race ranks itself first,

And for once it’s like … Marching with all its directed energies to the past, the present and the future, all suffusing to (be )forever unbound !

Yes, all the past, present and future merging into forever as for that “remote,” to be replaced, left aside, and totally forgotten —as if, making everything unknown.

But again , as later is begotten, every thing shall come alive -as though —lost and found!

O! So Long !

Year 2050

Planet : Mars

Will the mind project what the body shall seek, or still better, what it really feels ?

Here’s a storyline that projects a fig of imagination 💭.

It’s a function of mind.

In a world where time and space felt like mere illusions, there lived a woman named Malia who moved through life with the grace of someone who had touched deeper truths.

Malia was born and conceived with a sperm-injected into a humanoid robot.

Unbeknownst to many, Malia had always felt connected to something greater, something beyond the visible world.A virtual world without leaving a room was the new normal in the year 2050. Also, as a stroke of genius hitting human race, AI ( artificial intelligence) and technology was invariably seen as running ahead of itself. This was a time when “mind,” was influenced by a caravan of induced feels and every thought/emotion was bound by a cataclysmic field. Instead of an experience emanating through the mind-space of an entity— everything was a simulation. Just imagine a private universe in the space-time continuum that births a new reality every now and then . In the year 2050 that’s where humanity had reached. A new inter-stellar community of human like species emerging and living on the planet Mars.

For that matter that planet could be imagined and given any new name. Yes!

Malia had long been intrigued by the mysteries of her own consciousness, the unseen forces that shaped her reality, and the idea that perhaps, at the core of all things,there must be a singular Source—a concept she had come across in her explorations of the Moonrow Institute of lifeline teachings.

She had often dwelt upon the nature of existence on another planet called earth 🌍. Earth was alien to Malia.

The Moonrow Institute, a research organization known for its work on AI ( artificial intelligence,) consciousness and the multidimensional psyche, had been Malia’s silent guide over the years.

She had read texts on *Multi-Sync* technology, astral projection, and the idea that her consciousness could transcend physical body, accessing other dimensions.

But in all this, what intrigued her the most was Earth’s ability to contrive itself from the philosophy of the *One.* It was a belief that all was part of an interconnected whole, a vast field of consciousness that c’d transcend individuality.

According to the Institute, each soul was not an isolated entity, but a facet of the greater cosmic mind, bounded by love with the infinite potential of creating itself.

The biggest enigma of that time was tracing the origin of species. Malia didn’t know anything about natural, organic, and/ or biological living. Evolution and diversity had reached a tipping point where matter and mind had become replaceable.

Life was known and seen differently from that vantage point.

Malia’s life had always been practical, grounded in her work—wherein , logic and reason had ruled her ways. But in the quiet spaces between the eventful horizons, she had found herself ruminating —as if, seeking to bridge the gaps between her inner self and the limitless realms of the outer universe.

She had experienced boundlessness. She had found glimpses of this connection through her ruminative journeys. Those were brief moments of unity with planetary species—where the boundaries could sync. And between her own consciousness and the cosmos everything dissolved in moments of time and she felt a profound sense of Oneness.

Those moments were fleeting but powerful, filling her with a deep sense of peace and wonder.

Throughput in such states, Malia phenomenally experienced a magical situation —floating beyond her physical entity. Like a matter hovering over mind. It was a terrain where her psyche was reaching and acquiring digital signals from the universe which was making her form a recombinable self-reflective mind of her own. A sort of a meta map of her own universe where mind-matters were reaching different heights.

And , by descending into such realms, Malia had started displayed Supra-human abilities, syncing with both matter or matters beyond planetary boundaries. In crucial ways her neural signals could conjure up and convolute through the space of the universe to see and influence another species as though to regulate its senses and instincts.

It was during one such ruminating sessions and by using the techniques she had learnt at the Moonrow Institute, something extraordinary happened.

Malia found herself drifting deeper than ever before. Her awareness was expanding beyond the confines of her body.

Suddenly, she was no longer seated in her quiet space. She started floating in a realm of pure energy where time and space folded in on itself.

The air was filled with a soft hum, a vibration that resonated with her very soul. It was a place she had visited earlier. It was a trancelike state —a dimension of light and infinite possibility.

In this altered state, Malia encountered a being of radiant energy—a guide, who communicated not with words but with an overwhelming sense of love and understanding. She realized, in that one moment that the being was not separate from her. It was another aspect of herself—an extension of her own consciousness which was extending into another dimension.

Interestingly, the Moonrow Institute had often spoken of the multidimensional nature of the psyche —an idea that “one entity,” could exist simultaneously across different levels of reality. Malia was now living this truth in the year 2050.

The guide revealed to her the interconnectedness of all life, the way in which every soul is a thread in the vast tapestry of existence.

Each experience, each relationship, was a reflection of the One—the Source from which all creation flowed. Malia was shown the past, present, and future as simultaneous events, unfolding into perfect harmony.

She saw how her individual life, though unique, was but a ripple in the ocean of consciousness, contributing to the collective experience of the universe.

As the vision deepened, Malia was drawn to a familiar figure—Rory the artist she had met. In this dimension, Rory appeared not as a separate being, but as a part of her, and she of him. Their lives were intertwined not by chance, but by a deep spiritual contract, an agreement made long before they had met in the physical world.

In this place of pure awareness, Malia understood that her connection to Rory was part of a greater cosmic plan. He had come into her life to help her remember this truth, and to awaken her to the reality that love was the very fabric of the universe. She realized that separation was merely an illusion of the material world.

Malia began to see the purpose behind every encounter, every relationship she had ever had. Each soul she had met along her journey was part of her, and she of them. The boundaries that had once defined her identity—her name, her profession, her body had faded away. It all revealed the eternal. It was all a boundless essence of her true self. It was dreamlike state.

In the moments before she returned to her physical body, Malia received one final message from the guide: “You are never alone, for you are One with all that is. Love is the thread that binds you to the whole. Remember this always, and you will never fear.”

When Malia opened her eyes, she was back in an apartment with familiar sounds of the city humming in the distance.

But everything had changed! The world around her seemed more vibrant, more alive, as if, she could see the divine light that connected every being, every object. She knew now that her life, like all others, was part of the great dance of consciousness, an expression of the “One”experiencing itself through the many.

And as she walked through life, whether in moments of stillness or in the midst of her work, Malia carried with her the deep knowledge that she was both an individual and part of a greater whole. She and Rory were not two separate souls, but reflections of the same divine spark. Their love, like everything else, was a manifestation of the infinite unity that lay at the heart of all creation.

In this realization, Malia found peace—a peace that surpassed understanding, and she felt rooted in the eternal truth of the “One.”

In the end it was all an interplay of continual resurrection bringing her mortal self and placing it all into eternity. In ways Malia had accepted all sorts of situations characterizing all set ups of life. She had worked out a deterministic reconciliation between the real and the unreal
