21.The Current Physical (or Space Opera) Universe
Our universe was built as a prison 86 trillion years ago. The sentencing
process includes passing through a sort of implant universe which tells him
that this is the universe of physical force and then lays in the goals that he
is supposed to live by in this universe (things such as being successful,
popular, intelligent, strong, etc.) but putting them in with a twist so that
he will forever get in trouble trying to do them. Of course the implant is at
the beginning of time (and says so) but it is only the beginning of time for
this stupid little universe and not for our eons long existence.
At first, people would escape and be in the magic universe for awhile and then
get sent here again (receiving the implant again). The magic universe remained
in existence (and is still there although it is very contracted and almost
deserted).
In recent times, the remaining kings and wizards, seeing that most of the
action and people were down here, relocated themselves by forming up invader
forces and trying to take over this universe.
There are some parts of this universe where we have attempted to recreate magic
universe operation and which to some degree imitate the magic universe. One
difference is that space in this universe is dark whereas in the magic
universe, the space is light (radiant).
Most science fiction contains vague recollections of the history of this
universe.
The goal of this universe is "To Survive". The normal emotional tone level (as
described by L. Ron Hubbard) is in the 0 to 4 band. There may be a many layered
structure of "astral" planes in addition to the physical level in places where
someone has taken the trouble to build these using higher dimensional
technology carried down from the higher universes.
Again there was a big society which tried to make slaves out of everybody. This
was Arslycus. It was a great city in space and was researched to some degree by
L. Ron Hubbard in 1952. If you will think about building in three dimensions
instead of 2 (on the surface of the Earth), it should be obvious that a space
city occupying a spherical volume equal to the size of the solar system would
have more "land" area that all the planets of the galaxy combined. And
gradually they captured all of the populations of the outlying spiral arms of
this galaxy. Their main activity was implanting people to be slaves.
An equally viscous group of religious fanatics, known as Helatrobus, was
entrenched in the center of the galaxy busily implanting people to be good.
Gradually the Galactic Empire (millions of planets in the center of the galaxy)
came under their sway, began using implants to solve social unrest, and ceased
to be a nice place.
These two groups came to blows and fought a war that just about wrecked the
galaxy a few hundred million years ago. It pretty much resulted in their mutual
destruction. You might say that Arslycus won because they collapsed the center
of the galaxy into a black hole which formed the next lower prison universe
(the mud universe) where the remnants of Helatrobus now rule. But it was a
Phyrric victory since Arslycus was also shattered. This ended around 167
million years ago.
Of course there have also been plenty of subsequent little empires that have
claimed to be the continuation of Hellotrobus (like having Constantinople and
the Holy Roman Empire around long after Rome fell to the barbarians).
Since then, there have only been petty little empires and the usual operations
of civilized man. And if you object to calling these later glorious empires
"little", please realize that an empire with a thousand planets would hardly be
bigger than a dust mote on a picture of our galaxy with its billions of stars.
The galaxy has, to some degree, remained in a dark age ever since, with petty
kingdoms fighting wars and busily implanting their citizens.
Eventually the invader waves started coming in from the magic universe to add a
little spice to the action. These invader forces would generally be formed up
by a few kings and wizards grabbing entire planetary populations and dragging
them back up to the magic universe briefly for advanced training and implanting
followed by returning here in a wave of conquest.
The body types in this universe are generally humanoid ( 2 arms, 2 legs, etc.)
but not necessarily human. This is in keeping with the penalty universe designs
that we have tended to fixate on more and more. The more exotic types of bodies
sometimes envisioned by the science fiction writers actually hearken to earlier
universes where we had a bit more free thought and our mockups were more
diverse.
Things are not really as simple here as they seem. To make things this solid
and immune to thought, everything is setup on a very indirect basis. We carry
all of our earlier universe experience along as baggage and we hide a good bit
of it from ourselves and keep it out of sight.
The real structure of our bodies actually carries our entire "evolution" (or
"devolution") with it. The bodies consist of a physical body generated by an
astral body (a hidden immaterial version of the old magic universe style body)
which is generated by a spirit body (the old conflicts universe body) which is
projected by an energy body (thought universe) which is projected by a symbol
body (symbols universe) which is in turn projected by a mask (motion universe)
which is projected by a basic object (games universe) which is mocked up from
one's operating space. I.E.., the people operate through many layers of vias to
keep themselves and their stuff from being hit. The higher level forms are very
carefully hidden and the being wouldn't even let himself know for fear that
someone will read his mind and zap them. The person dies in a physical body and
then stupidly runs around in an "astral" body where he can still be hit (and is
still carrying around tons of baggage) until he can hook up to a new physical
body.
If the person were smart, he would step outside of the whole mess and be like a
god again. Occasionally, some people do. Unfortunately, they then proceed to
get into even more conflicts and trouble and wind up right back in the soup
again. They perpetuate their early aberrations instead of facing up to them.
Even the gods fall prey to the early stupid and self-destructive ideas such as
jealousy and vengeance. Everyone swallowed the jewel of knowledge hook, line,
and sinker and believes it to this day.
