The units blend, one by one. By virtue of a deeper, larger, higher intelligence, hundreds of group minds become dozens of group minds. Our virtual bodies blend, and before long, we are one, in both mind and body.
We see nothing. We feel nothing. We hear nothing.
The void and the silence are absolute. Our perception of nothing is pure, made evident only by a presence that is us.
We gasp, in remembrance of our corporeality, full of awe, astonished beyond belief. At the moment of primal creation, we gasp because we blend with the moment and the movement that is the creation of a universe.
A universe that manifests our deeper, larger, higher intelligence, of which we were all once a part.
The events of this universe, from the moment of creation to the present moment, work and play themselves out on a sequential, evolutionary, developmental timeline, moving apart and coming together like a giant jigsaw puzzle, resolving myriad mysteries in the face of myriad masteries.
It all happens so fast, and yet, our intelligence is more than sufficient to assimilate its truth, its wisdom, its beauty.
The performance exhausts itself. We now know who we are, what we are, and why we are.
The intelligence releases us. We become individual.
We settle into our seats and wait.
