'2010/02/06 Tachyon Universe Poem by Margaret Alice

Technology teaches us about evolution
intelligent consciousness manifested as
electromagnetic energy in thought-forms
which created 3-D reality on earth with
plants, storms and primitive life-forms

Consciousness learnt how to animate all
living molecules and atoms, sophisticated
creatures were made to practice techniques,
intricate things that require high degrees of
practical knowledge

Consciousness evolved by creating dramas
and stories, life is lived in virtual reality, it is
a game, we learn to play by partaking in
many dramas and intrigues, particles did
not randomly appear by themselves

Consciousness originated the whole universe,
the evolution myth is just as allegorical as the
Biblical creation story; consciousness is eternal
and all-pervasive, there is no personified fatherly
being in old-fashioned garb

Checking up on us as his personal creation to be
downtrodden and struck by lightning or disciplinary
measures when we contravene some arbitrary,
idiosyncratic rules and regulations thought up
in a great celestial bureaucracy

Administration does not originate in hellish dimensions
where an evil devil-being in red pajamas with a long tail
reigns supreme: mankind is solely responsible for every
red-tape manifestation in an attempt to regulate itself
and every conceivable corner of creativity

That is why authors like Terry Pratchett are possible and
wonderful, teaching us to understand relativity by con-
structing an alternative to common reality, teaching us
to laugh at the absurdity of our self-created religions
which we force upon humanity

While mankind is free to pursue any idea simply because
it is possible in a probability, an alternative to what-is,
probability and possibility are perfect moral dictums,
mankind learns by experiencing the result of his
choices for himself and others

Sometimes through pain and suffering – what other
way is there to guarantee that man is really free and
consciousness belongs in a tachyon universe
of faster-than-light particles?
