Mechra is a collective I sometimes channel for. They are a bit "out there"
even
for those who take channeling seriously, and off in -total- kookworld for
those
who don't.
When it comes to the revelations of the beings I channel, I make no claims
regarding their truthfulness. They may be true, they may be lies or
'partial'
truths, they may be delusions - or they may even be delusions that just
happen
to be fully true.
I'm not sure I've ever channeled Mechra here before, though they did
attempt
having me transcribe an entire "Mechra Holy Book" online at one point. In
any
event, like I say - believe what feels right for you and disregard what
feels
wrong, even this channeling.

Hello. To those who know the truth and who feel it should remain
hidden, this revelation is taking place in perfect accordance with those
whose
minds spin the foundations of this existence. It is soon time for Harvest
- and
to all those humans reading that, it's not what it sounds like so do not
be
alarmed at the choice of words.
In visual terms that beings here might understand, I came here from a
world of many cultures, arriving here through what can only be described
as a
"sea of stars". Each point of light seen as a star in my memory of that
experience is actually an individual consensual reality. All realities
occur
within a single geometric point of light, visible only to those who can
see
forever. Now that we've incarnated, we can no longer see forever - taking
up
residence in a body is a bit like slipping a blindfold on that filters
everything out but for a very narrow spectrum of the full world.
Our topic today might be titled, "The Psychology of Immortality".
Immortality, you see, is often sought, seldom obtained and never kept.
Most animals never develop an awareness of death to the extent of being
able to sense their own mortality. Even if they understand the concept of
death
by seeing it happen around them, the notion that it will happen to one's
own
self is actually a monumental step forward in the evolution of the
psychology of
any organic animal species, and is not an easy step to make.
Species which have developed an awareness of personal death often begin
striving on many levels to eliminate the event from their standard sphere
of
experience. Those who don't self destruct due to all the chaos associated
with
such psychological evolution invariably end up becoming "immortal".
Then, no matter how long it takes, all immortals eventually choose to
stop living. The proof of this is that there are none today who have been
around forever.
So what is it like to be capable of living indefinitely - i.e. for
thousands, millions or even trillions of years? Those in the body don't
know,
they can only speculate. The essence of the experience is that you
eventually
gain a whole new relative sense of time.
Why is that? It's a continuation of a very basic phenomenon humans
today are well aware of - that being the fact that as one ages, time
appears to
slip by ever faster than before.
Why that happens is fairly simple, but it requires a bit of explaining:
As the mind of virtually any creature more complex than a cricket
perceives the
world around them, their "mentation" evolves with certain
memory-filtration
algorithms hardwired into them via evolution. The algorithm is almost
universal, even in realities very different from this one: Our collection
of
memories never "feels" any bigger, and the only way the mind can make
sense of
this is by making the time one is presently experiencing feel that much
-shorter-.
How that works: organic minds are wired to filter every perception they
encounter against all prior memories in case there is any one particular
perception of something in their environment which - based on prior
experience -
they should be made aware of. The longer one lives, the larger the
collection
of memories against which they're constantly comparing their present
perceptions. It is inevitable then that the present they are experiencing
will
feel relatively smaller and smaller as an increasing number of memories
builds
up. Thus, when one is young and has only 15 or 20 years of memories
against
which to filter the perceptions of the moment, the moment seems much
longer than
the same moment would seem if they had 60 or 70 years worth of memories in
play.
That the trend continues for beings who attain immortality is inevitable.
By
the time one hits 500 years or so, months and perhaps even years seem to
fly by
at the speed of a camera shutter. By the time we hit 1000, decades cease
to
have any meaning.
The net effect of this is a "slowing down" because even the silent,
'boring'
moments begin stretching into years without causing boredom to _too_
excruciating of a degree. One might lay out on the dark side of the moon
just
to watch the stars only to find that 30 or 40 years have passed by the
time they
feel like moving on to something else. That's a very common experience.
After about 500,000 years, beings are often at the place where they choose
to
begin evolving new life forms of their own on worlds not yet settled.
It's
often used as a way to pass the time, sometimes an individual session
occupying
one for tens or hundreds of thousands of years.
What would that look like to fairly short-lived beings such as human
beings? I
suspect Anne Rice's vampiric "ancient ones" might be an apt comparison -
just
sitting there for thousand and thousands of years without twitching a
muscle
simply because nothing in our world appears to require any immediate
attention.
Human minds - unless altered in some way to deliberately avoid this -
would
begin shutting down over the centuries, moving less and less, and
eventually, if
any part of us is still organic, those organic parts may well fossilize
before
one thinks to move and maintain it. The minds of such beings generally
grow
dim, eventually fading into a silent and unthinking sleep.
With immortality comes the need for external augmentation - one human
brain is
not enough to contain even just 500 years worth of memories, let alone
thousands
and thousands of them. While in the throes of their unthinking sleep,
these
beings often give up knowledge of their own identities so that they may
emerge
into other realities and live again, all fresh and "new". Often these
other
realities are what you would today call "virtual reality" or a
"simulation".
That is, of course, what this reality is - a simulation, run by the minds
of
unspeakably ancient beings. They live through us and deliberately forget
who
they are, thus enabling them to live new and fresh lives rather than
simply
getting tired of existence and letting themselves slip into oblivion.
Humans have already glimpsed the media upon which the simulation of this
reality
is being run. Much like human computers run in bits and bytes on
microprocessor
chips, this bits and bytes upon which this reality operates are what
you've
speculated upon as "strings" in string theory. The details of bit and
byte size
are what you've figured out as "Planck length", the "refresh rate" of the
program being the unit of time you've discovered as the "Planck second".
The
aspect of string theory which requires the 10 or 11 dimensional "curled
up"
space is actually what you might call the "physical media" upon which
these
Planck units are set out and upon which the simulation is being run.
While you
got the essence of the "string" part of the theory correct (including the
membrane), the actual reality you're attempting to describe with the
curled-space part of the theory isn't quite correct - you've misunderstood
something, you need to "invert" it.
You also need to figure that part out for yourselves. In the interim, I
am here
rather like a "cheerleader" - i.e., while you're free to take any path you
wish,
you -are- traveling in a very beneficial and harmonious direction. We
rejoice
at this, and are glad to see you making your way towards our own type of
existence. There's nothing wrong with it if you wouldn't, but there's
nothing
wrong with being happy about it now that you seem to be catching on.
That is all, have a good evening.
