Chapter
Three: Method
There were a
myriad of concerns to manage in the detailed work of engineering the living-vessel
he needed to deliver the crippling blow to the continuum.
The human body had developed a reliance on aggression as a survival
skill, but raw power would not be enough to dislodge the Continuum from its
control of the HomeWorld and all of the systems of the Central Planet.
He need to create doubt and fear, he needed the Continuum to turn its
eye inward, and collapse on itself. This required that the entire field of
consciousness belonging to the Collective do the same thing.
The colonists who had come to populate Earth had come to rely on swift
action for the mitigation of crisis, this had to be tamped down to ensure the
survival of the tribes, to keep them from tearing one another apart. They had a
proclivity for war that was driven by fear, by worry over the allocation of
limited resources in a time of great scarcity.
Jim needed the power and dynamism of the aggressive impulses and drives
which the Ancient People had bred for, unintentionally, on their ages-long trek
across the galaxy, but he needed this to be modulated by conscientiousness, and
bent toward the most supernal values.
Jim conditioned altruism into the social mythological norms of
consciousness he propagated.
He utilized the most subtle tools of neuro-linguistic programming to
establish defaults in his human subjects, serving as capacitators, allowing
great rage to be channeled into protectiveness, and for the individual to
instinctively risk their own self for the sake of the whole which they represented.
These fail safes followed the religious programming of the Imperial Cult
in many of its dictates.
Jim’s efforts in this regard were seen as a form of preparation for the
coming of the Empire, and so it did not raise suspicion with the Continuum.
