Next Book?!

I just sat down and started typing tonight and this is some of what I came up with. I was hesitant to post it, but here it is anyway. I haven't proof read it or edited it at all and it's only an excerpt, but we'll see......

"The way things work where I’m from, time is not necessarily a linear concept. In fact there are quite a few jokes where I am from based on the concept of three and four dimensions that people on earth use. Dimensions, like width, depth, height, time, etc. are only really an issue if you have to worry about physical density. When, or maybe I should say if, the people of earth finally separate themselves from their serious attachment to all things physical they’ll be able to understand too.

Let me try to explain it in the simplest way I can think of. If you have an aquarium you can only fill it up with just so much water, before it overflows. Why do you need water? To keep the fish you want as pets alive. Imagine if the fish don’t need water. Imagine if the only thing that matters is each entities will or consciousness. If the fish doesn’t have a body then it doesn’t need water, right? You’re probably asking, “Well if a fish doesn’t have a body then it’s not a fish is it?” My response to that is, “Really? How do you know?” Suspend your disbelief for a moment and imagine that you have a fish for a pet that has no body. It’s still a fish, because it was created as a fish and therefore that’s what it is. Since the fish has no body it doesn’t need water to exist.

It still needs energy yes, but it can gather that readily enough from the environment around it. Humans can’t see with their naked eyes the process that coral or algae go through to get nutrients. So, they eventually developed the “microscope” and gained the ability to watch what happens. Does that mean that before they had the microscope that algae and coral didn’t eat? Of course not. It just means that humans couldn’t see it. Let me try to explain this in terms that you humans may understand. If the entire universe and everything in it is a case of beer, then what humans know about it amounts to one drop of condensation that runs down the outside of one bottle of that case of beer. You get it now?

So, back to the fish. You have a fish that has no body and therefore no mass and cannot take up any space. The fish does need some type of energy to keep it going, but it can convert that from any number of sources, whether it’s the light from a star, the gases in the atmosphere where they are currently located, or whatever else may be readily available. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms. So, to sum up. No body, which means it doesn’t need things, and it can get energy from any source available. As long as the fish’s will is strong enough it will maintain its integrity and continue to exist as a being. If not, then it was never meant to be and it will return to the “matter bank” to be used in some other way. I’m sure your little human brain is probably reeling in an attempt to understand all this, but just accept the premises I have stated and forget everything you have ever known. Seriously, take a minute if you need to, I’ll wait."

Hope you enjoyed the read and really hope that this turns into something significant.
