I like your quote that the "The Universe is infinite, therefore there areAt the risk of boring people by speaking about or quoting from a novel which has not been published and may never be, 'Earth's Companions' centres around a group of Earth people (the Chosen) of our era (the end and beginning of the 2nd and 3rd Millenniums) who have been traumatised in a variety of ways by life and who are brought together by unusual means to find a cure for one of their number who believes himself to be unable to procreate when in fact he is physically capable of so doing. This cure is needed because Manny and his wife Sylvia are the end results of a one thousand year natural selection breeding program which combines in them all the genetic qualities the immortal behind the plan thought would be needed to overcome the Monstrous Danger he believed the Earth would face in our time. Well, it IS a fantasy! Along the way, the Timeless One has been helped by scads of humans and other beings, substantial and insubstantial, from several planes of existence and planetary systems including the Hall of Clouds and the Inter-Galactic Federation. Helped 'within guidelines', that is, set down and monitored by the One Above and his/her Chief Executive.
infinite possibilities,"
The possibilities are only in what we are capable of thinking, and then
believing what we think.
Do you think that it is possible that we are already living in this plane of
life bearing worlds which you have hypothesised.. Maybe it is possible that
we may be already highly evolved in the scheme of things. With our abilities
to think and rationalise it is just possible that any problem that we create
we are capable of solving.
Each generation is charged with the task of repairing the problems which
have been created by the previous generations.
The real problems are not caused by malevolent people, but by common
ordinary people committed to an ideal, whose actions sometimes turn out to
be irrational after the event.
The Chosen's Universe is rather dissimilar to our own (although in their own plane the Earth is identical barring a few fictitious places additional to the usual). For example, there is a shattered world (Thera) on a separate plane and a second species of the human race on yet another world (Brrron) in a third plane. The trick here is that the ancestors of the Brrronians originally occupied Thera and brought about its destruction. A handful of survivors somehow managed to find their way to Brrron; their descendants though technologically brilliant have zero empathetic qualities. Other than some members of the current generation who have been Changed (but you'd have to read the book to find out how :) )
It should be borne in mind that I wrote most of this novel seven years ago after I had been so traumatised by numerous pressures that during the course of one 24-hour period I lost my memory totally and began to recover it again. 'Recover' is not really the right word but I don't know what is. Over the next five months I did recover most of my memory (and since, I must say that) but not all, not by a long chalk, so now when I meet someone who remembers me but I don't remember them, I tell them very simply what happened. That is not a problem. Where I do run into difficulties is that I have memories and knowledge of people and events which I did not have before, which have no relation to what I did before. And skills. Like dowsing. Or even writing. Or having the courage to 'talk' to hundreds of people around the world, to say things that must appear outlandish to many; things which I believe must be said.
Going back to the novel, I would agree with James that we are living in a plane of many life-bearing worlds, but not that we are as highly evolved as we might like to be. Some of us, yes, but not enough, not yet. We need 14% or 15% of the world population, I think. Just a moment. No, I'm wrong, it's 12%. That percentage of people operating in tune with the higher consciousness (interpret that how you please) would bring Earth up to the recognition point. We need that, to be there, because I don't think we can defeat the Monstrous Danger by ourselves from down here (and I think most would agree that there is indeed an MD).
