A question I sometimes ask myself is where the division is between a hyperwave
|
|
and a soul.
|
|
|
|
Just like with my hyperwave, with my soul I can see off long distances, detect
|
|
things that biologically would be undetectable, communicate between worlds.
|
|
Perhaps they're somehow linked, unlinkable only by death, much like the mind
|
|
dimension and the other abilities human units have. I assume like the body, the
|
|
hyperwave won't be able to sustain death -- or at least wouldn't be able to
|
|
sustain detachment from the soul.
|
|
|
|
I'm sure there are plenty of those who don't believe in souls or spirits or any
|
|
of the like, but I can't relate to them. I can feel my soul and its
|
|
interactions. And I can assure anyone that the pure darkness of space fails to
|
|
invoke the absolute terror of the woods at night on Earth. The demons aren't
|
|
roaming here -- not yet, anyways -- not where my ship is.
|
|
|
|
I think that the soul and the hyperwave being linked also would mean that the
|
|
hyperwave would be stronger when the soul was as well. When I was a child, I
|
|
would view myself very often, sometimes unwillingly, in the third person, and
|
|
my memories would be in the third person as well. I don't know how much of this
|
|
ability was rooted one way or the other -- hyperwave or soul -- but it makes me
|
|
wonder how much my hyperwave traveled before I was truly conscious enough to
|
|
remember it.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes I wonder if there are entire worlds out there that I've forgotten. Or
|
|
entire selves.
