This time, he flies! He’s taken over the body of a Titanium Rex, a majestic, celestial animal with a huge wingspan. A species that resembles the dragons of our legends, but with a wolf’s head, capable of flying for hours over magnificent panoramas without ever tiring or landing. It draws its energy from its blue star. His natural titanium armor is fitted with crystals to make the connection with the master more powerful. This increases sensations and duration, and makes it even easier to locate the semi-awakened. I guarantee he’ll enjoy it as much as he can. Such freedom is unusual for him.
So, he’s going to roam the mountains of Nu’vid, the purple-colored planet, for as long as he can. This planet is located at the same stellar coordinates as our world, yet is radically different from ours. Gravity, atmosphere, and light are all different. He’ll be able to meet other totally new species, let himself be carried by the wind and let destiny guide him into the unknown. It’s also a chance for him to unleash all the rage and frustration he’s accumulated in the prison of his earthly shell.
Indeed, this life is so different from his main one that he breathes in every gram, every millisecond, every vibration. Sometimes, he even hopes he’ll never leave again, and that he’ll be stuck once and for all in one of these entities of this universe so far away and yet so close at the same time. Despite the love of his family, who could blame him?
So, he continues on his way, flying over breathtaking landscapes. He can see blue mountains and bright green forests. He sees rivers and lakes stretching as far as the eye can see, and cities glittering with light. Sometimes he stops to observe the distinct species that inhabit this place: strange and exotic animals, plants with shimmering colors, insects with hypnotic shapes.
At last, he feels completely free and full of energy. He doesn’t know what lies ahead, but he’s ready to face anything and discover new horizons. He’s lulled by the wind as it sweeps him off into the distance, savoring every moment of the spectacle before him.
However, after a few hours spent in this fantastic environment, he feels that reminiscent sensation again. It happens systematically. It’s a kind of aura phenomenon, where the soul is called back to its main host. It always happens when the controlled entity is in a peaceful place or situation. With the Titanium Rex safely ensconced in its refuge at altitude, this seems like a good time. He also needs to feel at peace and in harmony. He then hears a sound, a very gentle wave in his ears. Then it’s gradual. Time seems to slow down, a bright light dazzles his mind, then a cosmic-colored tunnel spins around faster and faster, finally ending on his world of origin… very gently.
Nathan wakes up from his 5-minute micro-nap with a huge smile on his face. Not all his trips to parallel universes are so pleasant, but this one gives him a huge smile for the rest of the day.
This little 16-year-old is very special. He’s what we call, on Earth and in our universe, a multi-handicapped person. He is unable to speak, unable to move around, and has many autistic symptoms. He is totally dependent on others. Without others, he could not exist. One of his strange symptoms is that he can suddenly fall into a very deep sleep, of relatively short duration. This usually happens once an hour. In our space-time, the perceived duration is usually a handful of minutes. During these famous micro-naps, his soul is teleported to other interconnected universes to incarnate in very special creatures, the Giam Hô, of which the Titanium Rex is one. They are designed to act as temporary hosts for beings of light. They act as guardians to watch over certain universes. This also enables those who control them to intervene in a universe other than their own, without taking the risk of going there directly.
During these micro-naps, Nathan is able to speak and move freely. He can travel long distances, cross dimensions and communicate with beings living in parallel worlds. He sometimes learns incredible things and discovers secrets that are buried in space and time.
He can then incarnate into other creatures and bring help and healing to those in need. At last, he feels he can give what he receives on Earth. He discovers marvelous, magical worlds and sometimes makes life-changing encounters. These adventures are a way for him to escape, to discover and explore different universes. They give him a sense of freedom and help him better understand what’s going on around him.
On the blue planet, the young boy was followed for many years by various neurologists who were never able to explain his pathology. Eventually, he was categorized as an « orphan disease », better known as « we have no idea what’s wrong with him ». The most likely hypothesis is that an alteration in his genetic program occurred during the first cell divisions. The source of this alteration is in fact a meta-vibration from another universe. In general, this vibration alters the genetic code to provide the brain with a characteristic essential for projections into the multiverse. This characteristic was indeed added, but at the expense of destroying more elementary functions in human beings. A DNA which is therefore unique to him, in exchange for a life made particularly complicated. But a very surprising one too!
The love the young boy received from those closest to him, and their patience and support, knew no bounds. Every day, they tried to understand what was happening and find ways to help him. But what they couldn’t understand was that he was able to see and hear things no one else could. The young boy was able to see into the multiverse and perceive things that went far beyond what human science was capable of understanding. He saw connections between seemingly unrelated events, and understood mechanisms that eluded scientists.
For us, the brain remains a mystery. We’re still in the stone age of understanding it, and we’re content to understand it only on the surface. It’s as if we were trying to understand the universe around us with a vulgar magnifying glass. We are sorely lacking in information to understand the deeper essence of this organ. Unluckily for this little boy, his brain was the one most affected by the modification of his genome. The electrical activity seemed incoherent, chaotic, in any case different from the usual signatures. The various MRI and EEG scans provided no answers for the specialists. They couldn’t understand the signals they were seeing… and with good reason!
Meta-vibrations had never caused errors in other species. At least, not to the council’s knowledge. Normally, meta-vibrations allow the target being to ascend to a form of pure energy. The human brain was probably not yet ready for this evolution. Indeed, it has taken us thousands of years to adapt to certain far more elementary modifications. Nathan was ahead of his time, which made him totally incomprehensible to his contemporaries.
His explanations could pass for magic to the doctors who followed him. Unfortunately, their understanding of the universe and quantum physics is still very sketchy. Indeed, the nature of his genetic modification is linked to the synchronization frequencies of his brainwaves. They are slightly out of phase, so to speak, with his natural environment. This obviously creates a severe handicap for him. Respecting the proper frequency of his host universe is essential if he is to flourish there. Nathan is out of phase, out of sync with the world’s expectations. If you’re out of sync, you’ll be left behind. You find yourself stuck in a different plane of existence.
This child, so different despite this phase shift, is nevertheless a lover of music and the earth’s rhythm. He can listen to the same music, see the same exact passage of music, over and over again. This allows him to get closer to the rhythm, the music and therefore the measure of the world that welcomes him… without, unfortunately, ever being able to do so. As a result, he’s in an almost totally hermetically sealed bubble. Only a few people on Earth have enough intelligence, open-mindedness and positive energy to interact with him. These are, of course, his immediate family, his parents and grandparents, but more rarely people outside the direct family sphere.
This is the case, for example, with Kristina, his mother-in-law. Beautiful in more ways than one. A rare inner beauty coupled with a magnificent plasticity. Those who meet her often describe her as sunny. And with good reason! We’ll see why later. She has an immense generosity, a kind of innocence and purity that allow her to see Nathan’s difference in a different way. She’s also always ready to help and look after him, even with the most difficult tasks. She’s surely the closest thing we have to an angel.
Fortunately for Nathan, this neurological alteration didn’t come on its own. Another characteristic manifests itself when he falls asleep. As you probably know, all living beings undergo a fairly characteristic change in the various alpha and gamma waves when they fall asleep. This allows a kind of local disconnection for the brain to recuperate and assimilate the day’s information. The sleeper’s mind then connects to a different symphony of the world around him, a calmer, more restful environment. In the case of the out-of-phase child, another phenomenon occurs. He is able to see and feel the undulatory passages to interconnected universes, or parallel universes if you like. Out of phase with his host world, he could see an infinite number of others. His limited body on Earth actually encloses a mind of exceptional capacities.
He himself doesn’t really understand the mechanism. But it gives him the opportunity, temporarily, to escape to other universes by projecting his soul to other planes or entities. Living a life free from his earthly handicap and having grandiose adventures usually does him a world of good. As we all know, the perception of time is relative, and these escapades could last for hours in the other universe, during the few minutes perceived in our own.
Night is slowly approaching. After a hot shower to relax him from the skeletal pains of his difficult life in our universe, Nathan dons his night armor, a corset designed to stabilize his scoliosis, one of the many side effects of his illness. His inter-dimensional superhero outfit is ready! While his micro-naps during the day take him to entities whose sole purpose, most of the time, is exploration, discovery, surveillance and sharing, his night will be of an altogether different order. He will be entrusted with a mission of the utmost importance. While short absences allow him to live by proxy in the bodies of other organisms, nights reveal his true nature, his true function. So he falls asleep quickly, making a few very particular sounds that his parents know by heart. He soon sees this multicolored tunnel spinning around again, and this time finds himself sucked in by non-tangible entities, beings of pure energy. Imagine yourself sailing freely through space. That’s what he was experiencing, but between universes.
His friends meet him at their usual rallying point, but they soon realize that the council is present. They must act quickly, as this is an emergency situation. When the whole council is gathered, it’s often because a particular universe is about to generate the vibration of chaos, also known as « universe destroyer ». You’ll need to either cut the link or prevent its generation.
There are in fact several types of vibration picked up by energy beings and passing through the walls of our universes. These vibrations, although not necessarily felt by living beings in other universes, can have very significant impacts. First of all, there’s the vibration of consciousness. When a species reaches the culminating point in its evolution, it arrives at the ultimate stage of awakening, if it hasn’t self-destructed beforehand. There are many ways to get there, through knowledge or meditation. Occasionally, some people achieve this through near-death experiences. Others, rarer still, search in the darkness, in the chaos. Awakening then enables us to feel the vibrations of the strings of other universes and become aware of the interconnections between them. Some species stop there. The consequences of this awareness vary. Either it motivates them to move forward and try to understand more than their own condition, or it frightens them into withdrawal.
Others may continue the adventure, eventually finding the harmonizing vibration. This is the perfect frequency for two universes to ring in unison to establish communication. If another species has the same ability in the universe targeted by this harmonization, exchanges can take place so that each can learn from the other. Some species have been able to progress very rapidly via this mechanism.
To end on a positive note, there’s the passing vibration. A kind of wave that passes through the harmonizing vibration to rematerialize in a different universe. However, only the Illuminated, inter-dimensional beings of pure energy, can use this technique to open a passage. Beings contained in corporeal envelopes cannot pass through the multidimensional barrier without suffering serious consequences. The laws of physics in the multiverse are normally like that. Except that Nathan is clearly capable of temporarily projecting his soul via the passage vibration! He’s capable of projecting himself into other hosts, projecting his energy into the inter-dimensional passage and, of course, living in his limited earthly envelope. So he seems to be a hybrid – is he the only one? That’s quite astonishing.
There are, of course, a plethora of other forms of vibration, but the worst of them all is chaos vibration. This can cross the barrier between two interconnected universes and act as a destructive resonance of the other universe, without necessarily destroying the world from which it is produced. This can rarely happen naturally, following the explosion of a star or the fusion of two black holes. But most of the time, it is generated by warlike species developing weapons that broadcast harmful waves. These species are rarely aware of the destructive waves they produce. There’s a simple reason for this: they’ve rarely reached the point of awakening if they’re still at the stage of wanting to destroy themselves.
There are several stages of alert monitored by the council. When a species reaches a sufficiently advanced technological stage to potentially produce, in spite of itself, this fateful vibration, a meta-vibration is sent into their universe. The aim is then to transform one of their members into an Illumi to help stabilize the situation. Human beings have been under surveillance ever since they briefly « mastered » the atom and conducted nuclear tests. Some of them had been modified by meta-vibration as a result. Nathan, for example, was unfortunately only partially transformed.
So, Nathan himself is an Illumi of sorts, but dysfunctional at first sight. He could take control of other entities in his sleep and use the vibration of passage, but not permanently and only locally to the universes currently connected. His power is limited compared to the Illumis who have made their complete transformation. Even in this meta-universe, a form of handicap persisted, making him a prisoner of his primary universe.
The Illumis, these inter-dimensional beings, are very special indeed. The energetic signature of their soul is in symbiosis with several universes. They thus play a balancing role between parallel worlds. Thanks to the vibration of passage, they can leap from universe to universe through a kind of mesh that only they can feel. They jump from string to string, depending on their vibrations. When certain universes begin to vibrate irregularly, they are naturally attracted to play the role of stabilizer. They have no real attachment to any particular physical world. Their role is to navigate and manage the vibrations of the universes.
Unfortunately, human beings can’t see these special beings, even if some of them can feel their presence. In fact, some human beings have a natural potential for sensitivity to vibrations. It may take them some time to accept or discover this. The Enlightened call them semi-awakened. These are beings who are more advanced on the path to vibrational consciousness than others, but still have only a blurred and very partial vision of the whole. They are easily detected by the Enlightened, as semi-awakened beings radiate a stronger form of energy than the average person. They therefore represent the hope of the species if they can transform their potential and, above all, if the rest of the species doesn’t prevent them from doing so. In some species, the semi-awakened can easily be shunned or even persecuted by the rest of the species. As you can see, Kristina is a semi-awakened person herself. This explains why others feel a powerful energy emanating from her. It is this advanced state of consciousness that also enables her to enter Nathan’s world so easily.
For his part, Nathan could not only see the Illumis in their entirety, interact with them but also join them, albeit randomly. Some of these meetings allowed him to take part in this great energy regulation. But if a jump to one of the quantum strings took him too far away from his primary universe, he was immediately recalled to his earthly body. His inter-dimensional friends can’t explain it either. None of them had seen this before. But it made the little boy even more exceptional in their eyes. His difference would be key to some of their missions.
Let’s get back to the emergency council. The Chakhris, one of the species of one of the universes, is about to produce a quantum tear through the imminent use of a weapon of destruction. They are very similar to human beings in their aggressiveness and rejection of all other living beings not resembling them. On the other hand, they are essentially made of silicon rather than carbon. The entities on site had long since alerted the council to their concerns, as the Chakhris were both particularly dangerous to others and to themselves. It was now time to intervene, as the point of no return was too close.
The way in which intervention is decided depends on a number of factors. How many universes are currently interconnected with the one that’s about to become dangerous? Indeed, we’ve long believed that there are an infinite number of parallel universes. In a way, this is true, except that they are not all interconnected at the same time or in their entirety. Each universe navigates a complex mesh of interconnections, and only the Illumines can navigate them freely. In fact, the multiverse bears a striking resemblance to the synaptic interconnections of the brain. The first trade-off is therefore to assess the potential impact on neighboring universes and their numbers. Imagine a terrorist in the middle of a city. His potential carnage will depend on his exact location, as well as on the time of day, which will determine the number of people present. There will be more people during the day than at night. In the end, it’s quite similar in the case of interconnected universes.
Another question obviously arises: do we want to keep the potentially dangerous universe connected to others? What are the benefits and risks? It sometimes happens that the species makes a mistake in spite of itself, or in any case that some of the individuals are not representative of the species’ overall potential. Would it be fair to disconnect a universe just because a minority subset of individuals is stupid? What could the rest of the group contribute if the subset were neutralized? This has happened a few times. The board really doesn’t like to find itself ruling on this kind of species. Doubt and statistics still militate against a positive outcome. A species that allows a sub-group dangerous to itself to develop has little chance of being a superior species leading to the vibration of consciousness.
After some deliberation about the Chakhris, the decision is made. Their universe is to be disconnected from the multiverse, and the statistics and predictive models are clear. This species is unfortunately among the worst that the cosmos can sometimes produce. Even if a tiny fringe of its population has a small but present potential to one day reach the vibration of consciousness, it’s not up to the other universes to pay the risk.
Even so, some utopian sages share their sadness about the future of the minority who will surely be wiped out by the use of the weapon. They ask if a solution cannot be found to give this group one last chance. The problem is that the moment the multiverse link is cut, the Illumis present to help the local population will be trapped there. Given the highly harmful and destructive behavior of the Chakhris, the council refuses to lose any Illumi, who are far more precious to them than a group of barbarians made of silicon.
That’s when one group mentions Nathan’s unique characteristics. Not only is he capable of taking possession of a local Giam Hô, but, in theory, severing the link should trigger his recall mechanism back to his physical host in his native universe. This remains purely theoretical, and there’s a non-zero risk of it getting stuck. But a small group of friends at least want to ask Nathan’s opinion. Others call him half-Illumi, as he doesn’t have the full capabilities of a Whitelighter, and are very skeptical about the value of calling on him.
The council asks Nathan to come to the center of the decision-making sphere. He explains the situation and the risks to his life. But it doesn’t take long for Nathan to accept the potential danger. The condition of the people echoes his own condition on Earth. Without others to care for him, he would be nothing and unable to live. He wants to show his gratitude, and in turn help the weakest, while being aware of the risks.
The plan is as follows. Nathan will take control of a Giam Hô to keep the innocent population of the Chakhris safe, while the Council decides on the fateful moment of no return, when the link must be cut to avoid a catastrophe spreading to other universes. If Nathan has returned in the meantime after completing his mission of protection, so much the better. If Nathan hasn’t returned yet, but the link must be cut, it will be cut to protect the greatest number of people.
Our little hero then concentrates on the target universe of the Chakhris, feels their own vibration, finds the harmonizing frequency and then the passing frequency, finally focusing his attention on the Giam Hô on site. He reviews the few specimens available, then sets his sights once again on a creature that can fly. This will give him a better overview.
Now that he’s there, his objective is clear: to get as many people as possible to safety. First, he has to identify them, then find a way to protect them from the violence of their own kind. The identification process is fairly straightforward for him, so all he has to do is identify the semi-awake ones who give off more energy than the others. Giam Hô also have a function for amplifying the signature of the semi-awakened. The question now is how to protect them from the Shal’kour…
The Shal’kour or « divine judgment ». This is the weapon the Charkris have developed to purify their race. It is a weapon of rare barbarity. It targets the very structure of the essence of their population, silicon, to melt it from within. The result is horrible pain, followed by a slow, agonizing death. They believe they have enough control to target this weapon at individuals they feel must die via surgical strikes. Indeed, the weapon is capable of focusing on the specific signature of the molecular structure of the silicon making up a given person. It can act across the entire planet, as it is activated via a network of orbiting satellites. A sort of GPS from hell.
But the council has discovered that the energy used to power the weapon comes from a transdimensional energy well that is excessively unstable by nature. Of course, the Charkris are unaware of this, since they use this technology, discovered by chance, without really understanding it. But their arrogance leads them to believe that they are its masters. However, for some time now, the council has been detecting a growing instability in their energy well. The more the Charkris use their weapon, the more the instability increases, all exponentially. The consequences assessed by the scientific council have been clearly established. The well will eventually collapse, and the energy spike will activate the satellite network against the entire planet on a global scale. Worse still, the collapse of the well will also almost certainly generate a vibration of chaos. The council has identified at least four currently interconnected universes that could explode on receiving this vibration. Time is running out now more than ever.
In contact with the local population, Nathan hears of a legend that an individual once survived the Shal’kour that had been directed against him. According to many members of the local population, this seems impossible. But because the Charkris were so sure of their assassination technology, they never went to see if their victims were really dead. While investigating, he discovered that the survivor had been living in a tungsten mine. The very specific properties of this material seem to stop the weapon’s effectiveness.
The mission becomes obvious. Innocent people had to be hidden away by tungsten barriers before the coming apocalypse. The easiest way to do this was to gather the semi-awake in natural tungsten mines and caves. Luckily, there were enough of these on the planet to protect almost the entire target population. So, Nathan set about completing his mission as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, what he didn’t know was that the day of the Shal’hab had arrived. The blood moon, its symbol, had risen in the sky.
Shal’hab, or Holy Day, was the worst day of the year for the population. Their great religious representatives took advantage of it to decimate even more innocent people in celebration of their god. The Shal’kour was running at full speed, while we were already in the red about the state of the energy well. The other Illumis on site decided to flee as quickly as possible and warned Nathan to follow them immediately. Nothing more can be done for them.
But he refuses, seeing that part of the population is not yet safe. So, he decides to use what little time he has left to save as many people as possible. The clerics begin to activate the weapon at full speed. The council then decides to cut the link since all the Illumis have returned, except Nathan. However, despite their theory, cutting the link does not generate the hoped-for return of the soul to its earthly host. Nathan seems to be trapped in this world of fanatical brutes, and felt the cut when it was made…
Despite this, he decides to continue bringing help to as many of the semi-awakened as possible by taking them to the mines but ends up hearing huge detonations in the sky from almost every direction. The transdimensional energy well has collapsed. The chain reaction begins. He felt the global wave of destruction wipe out any population not protected by tungsten, but also felt a sharp pain in the flesh of his Giam Hô, which was also made of silicon. He didn’t think to make himself an armor of the precious protective metal… His host is going to die and he’s going to die with it, since he’s stuck in it. He can’t calm himself at the thought, but he’s still proud of what he’s achieved. He’s probably saved thousands of innocents with the future potential to rebuild the species on better foundations. So, he decides to set his Giam Hô down in a quiet, peaceful spot, where they can die in peace.
Back on Earth, as we approach dawn, Nathan’s physical body begins to feel very restless – it’s been too long since his spirit left his body. Kristina hears some commotion in the room and quickly goes there. She feels an enormous tension and her intuition tells her that she must help Nathan to calm down by focusing on his voice. With great tenderness, she holds his head and speaks to him with a gentle melody. She began to sing a little song of her own.
At the same moment, Nathan perceives a magnificent silvery light in the sky of the planet where he is trapped. He feels the extremely soothing vibrations emitted by this light. He perceived this light in a musical way. This is what he needed to calm down. The recall process finally kicks in, the color tunnel appears, and he is miraculously teleported back to his primary universe. He lands gently in the arms of his guardian angel, who has unknowingly guided him. She has undoubtedly just saved his life through an act of pure tenderness and kindness. Her semi-awakened abilities, of which she is surely unaware, were the key to triggering the recall process.
It was certainly one of the most dangerous adventures he’s ever been on, but he doesn’t regret a single decision. He was then reunited with his friends on his next night. Everyone was so happy to know he was alive and well! The Illumipolovina legend was born. He was now respected by all. The Illumis were equally impressed by this semi-awakened woman. Despite the chaos and distance, her light was powerful enough to guide a lost soul. If such beings exist, humanity may yet have hope…
