Chapter Six: Collective
Consciousness
When Jim arrived on Earth, he was surprised and bewildered by what he
found. Nowhere else in all of the Empire had such a massive cultural devolution
occurred. He had barely begun to put the story together before the cataclysm
occurred, changing everything for him, and for humanity.
Jim decided at that moment on a course of action that he had long
contemplated.
With the gene pool having been reduced to just a few thousand
individuals he knew that he had the opportunity to improve on the genetic
structure of the whole.
He plotted the future development of the species, and began to work out
the steps and permutations that he would be looking for as the new species
developed over time.
Changes in cognition were the most crucial thing for him to accomplish,
along with broadening their access to their genetic memory.
With subtle interventions from Jim, the human brain slowly mutated,
retaining properties that were key to the things that he had been dreaming
about for a billion years.
He built an inherent capacity to store nanoparticles of key heavy
metals, like magnetite, and lithium in the cerebral structure.
Receptors emerged in the organic mind, attenuating the higher order
thought processes to the Earth’s magnetic fields.
He established a cynergy between every human being alive, turning the
entire planet into a field for cognitive development.
In this way humanity became connected, in the nous-sphere, a collective
unconscious.
