Understanding

I

“All life has risen from the simple, to the complex, to the intelligent, due the needs placed upon it by the laws and forces of the natural universe. However, because intelligent life has gained understanding of this, we too have become a force of nature and are able to differentiate the laws of the universe.

“By this, it is possible to predict that at some point, in the very distant future, intelligent life will have Understanding of the universe inbuilt into its genome.

“These, future beings, may attain the latent ability to access knowledge of time and space, from the perspective of a multi-dimensional observer. They could manipulate metabolic, cardiac and other bodily functions at will, or even by inherent evolutionary programing. It is possible they may even be almost immortal.

“With the nearly infinite potential of intelligent life, one is compelled to accelerate the process of evolution by not simply relying on random forces to guide non-random replicators; being intelligent life. As seen as we are a force in and of ourselves, why not seek to guide ourselves to a higher Understanding of our own universe, by programing the outcomes of our own evolution?

“Think of it as fruit on a tree of knowledge, that is too high for a certain species to reach. The laws of the universe prevent that species from attaining that fruit of Understanding, but we, as the most advanced of all intelligent life, can simply take the time to fly up and pass it down to them, taking a number of bites for ourselves.”

So this is how Madman begins... well kind of. This convoluted passage explains the begging, but only when you think about it later. I like to do that ;p

“What we failed to consider, as we built Understanding into the Human Genome, was the nature of Humanity and its nuances. Its eccentricities, its emotions, desires, all combined with the base level of Understanding, to cause them to fracture as a species. Some rose above the others, aspiring to be as we are. They call themselves the Nephilim, The Sons of Angels. Our sons.

“Instead of seeking the heights of Understanding within themselves, they seek to reach our height of power on earth, and they shall get there. We have seen what our meddling has done to the races of earth, and in order to prevent further damage to ourselves and others, we will leave it in the hands of those less capable of destruction. The other races will rise up against the Nephilim, and at some point they too will flee to the stars or die. We tried to guide the course of Human development, but all we did was add another variable to the formula; power.

“We gave the potential energy of Human evolution a current, a flow subject to the tides of it's people. They now expand across the world, diluting the genes of those blessed by Understanding with the blood of those who were not. Instead of removing the random nature of evolution we created a new, more complex subset to the already convoluted passage of progression.

“Our Understanding has changed. We now realize that Chosen Evolution is in the hands of each member of a species. The Group cannot defeat the random, but the individual can overcome it. The Species does not choose the path it, or another will take; the Person does.

“In individuals lies the hope of Mankind. It will be an individual who first gains full and total Understanding. And that individual will show other individuals the path to a better future, should they choose to forgo the random and the abstract that they have created to simplify their existence.”

“Everything in the universe tends towards chaos. At first we thought life was an exception. We, as the pinnacle of intelligent life, worried over how to control ourselves, make ourselves better. But now we know the laws of the universe are merely abstracts we ourselves thought we Understood to be used to constrain our lives, and the lives of the Lower Races along the path we deemed best.

“Now as the light fades upon our civilization, and we prepare to leave the world, we begin to pray! We pray to nothingness. We hurl our praises at the infinite chaos of the universe in the hopes that life may be truly eternal. I, the First Arc beg on my knees that there be a creator, and that it should hear us!

“I hope that those who find these words heed them, for through the understanding I, the Fist Arc have foreseen an end to all life, in all the universe, by the Understanding.

“The end of all things will come when the Son of the Son turns on the Father and when Humanity goes to war with Chaos and its own Demons.

"I am the First Arc, M'Kai'el Isa'Dominary, and I as all who read this to Understand."

My next post will be an explanation, pending any questions I get about the three pieces.
