Excellent Development of the dream The Virus : Transformation by Cogitator

Transformation Once communication was restored, natural leaders surfaced everywhere. There was no question about what had to be done -- survival and cooperation. Just as some tornado devastates a town and all the neighbors pitch in to help, all survivors of the calamity pulled together. Of course, the first effort was to help reunite families. The internet would provide the ability for them to establish contact. Waves of relief passed through survivors when they were able to communicate with their loved ones again. Tears flowed; love blossomed. For those who learned of loss, the entire community offered solace and a measure of comfort. Roy wasted no time, either in beginning building his immediate community or describing his plan to other leaders. As more and more communication of the final picture took place, more and more leaders adopted Roy's design. Honeycomb communities became the norm. John was not only working on his intelligent module to distribute to the communities, but interrupted its installation to address another idea he had. Translation of human languages had reached impressive levels of accuracy in existing systems. He devised a downloadable application for smartphones and computers that would automatically convert the message from the sending party into the language of the listener or reader. All that needed to be done after the download was complete was choosing the language of choice for whatever device someone was using. Someone wanting to communicate in English to someone wanting to communicate in Italian only needed to have his or her choice as English and the Italian-speaker choosing Italian. Just as automated customer service departments could have someone choose different languages to resolve an issue, John's app could do the same -- but automatically. If someone were face to face with another that spoke a different language, all they had to do was call each other. Humanity now had a universal language. The intelligent module would use a knowledge base built from the input and interaction of the survivors. There were many applications in existence that could be fed into the knowledge base easily. The infrastructure for the new community system would be the same. Each community would be self-sufficient, but manufacturing of needed supplies would also be necessary. It would take a long time until the existing supply of materials from the deserted homes and cities was depleted, but future needs had to be considered. Transportation, distribution and allocation was part of the plan. Not only did the survivors have a universal language, but now, they had a universal method of meeting everyone's needs. The stage was set. Betty, on the other hand, was more concerned for those survivors who had difficulty in dealing with the effect and shock of everyone's experience. Children adapt easily, but some older adults have a very severe dread of change -- set in their ways. Traditions, rituals, habits, routines and the like that kept them occupied before the virus had all disappeared. Following sports, the stock market, going to movies or plays, and many more activities were no longer available. The biggest adjustment was living without money. All the planning with financial advisors, saving for retirement, etc. was now irrelevant. Much of they did in the past no longer held any meaning. It was a huge pill to swallow. She decided to minister to the emotional and spiritual needs of the survivors through a daily podcast. It would begin at dawn for everyone. The intelligent module would rebroadcast the podcast according to the earth's rotation so that people could watch it as the sun rose in their location. People were allowed to ask questions and those were answered in a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) section of the screen. She recruited the participation of those skilled and knowledgeable like Dr. Jill Bolte-Taylor, Eckhart Tolle and many others who provided guidance in answering questions. The podcast became a fixture in most of the population's mornings. Mike took it upon himself to standardize communication systems. He was organizing a group dedicated to making all communications systems uniform without needing different protocols. Maggie was at his side and offered invaluable input. She wanted her child to have a future. Everyone was working towards the same goal and that made amazing things happen. Without the distractions of what was now being called The Life Before, humanity was actually aware and awake. Without clocks or calendars, people worked tirelessly. As communities began to take form, excitement and anticipation for a new life grew and grew. People began to sing as they participated in the work. One would start singing a song and another would join in, then another, then another. Even those who didn't know the words would attempt to throw their voices in. It was when someone began the song "Imagine" that everyone stopped what they were doing and raised their heads. John Lennon had it right. It became the world's anthem. The System Roy's family was gathered around him as they watched the screen in the wall recess. Since communication had been restored, the entire world could "tune in" to participate in the recovery of the planet. Ongoing conversations among leaders took place in a "gotomeeting" format and, once daily, a briefing of the day's accomplishments would be available to everyone. Ability to ask questions was given to everyone. Today's broadcast was to give an update on the implementation of John's Intelligent System Design at Roy's initial community. After introductions, he begins: "The system works. For those unfamiliar with the nature of systems, I will start by giving you some basic rules to help understand what this system will do for us all. The first rule of systems is that they all work exactly the same way. That is, all accept input or inputs, pass them through a process or processes and create output or outputs. One example of a complete system is the anaerobic digester that creates our power. We feed it our organic input and it processes it into gas, liquid and solid for us to reuse." "The second rule to know is that all systems are interconnected and interdependent. There is no such thing as a "stand-alone" system -- except perhaps, for the human ego. Once we connect our communities with the Intelligent System, we will all have the same capabilities and infrastructure. At that point, we can communicate about needs and wants beyond nourishment and shelter." "One key element is the translation module. The system will be able to understand languages and we can all communicate with it in the language of choice. What it knows, we will all know. What it learns, we will all learn. Unlike the human ego, it cannot lie, nor can it accept lies as truth. A fact is a datum, the lowest common denominator of information, or knowledge. We can merge pieces of knowledge into a greater piece of knowledge, but the knowledge base the Intelligent Design uses has been proven as true." "The two laws of our universe are Balance and Sequence. Everything in the universe is subject to them, including human beings. All systems that existed in the Days Before had to obey these laws or perish." "What we can imagine and create is based on our own body's system. We are born with an operating system that is identical to the functioning of the Intelligent Design. Even within the womb, it is operating. I was with Mike and Maggie this morning and she asked me to place my hand on her belly to feel her baby kicking. Its operating system is working, believe me." "All life on earth is governed by balance and sequence, including Mother Earth. She is the first one to be tended if we are to survive the insanity of the Days Before. The wanton destruction of the environment to satisfy corporate objectives and individual greed is no longer an issue. Without money, we are all equals. We all have the same balance." "The law of sequence, in simple terms, is evolution. Balance seeks homeostasis for its State of Being and, if that gets upset, a sequence of steps must be taken to regain balance -- a Process of Becoming. All beings are in the process of becoming because of motion, or change. Adaptation to change is the key to survival. We must all adapt." "With a universal language, a self-sufficient source of food and power, a universal knowledge base to serve our needs and wants and a beautiful earth to renovate, we will stay busy for some time to come. When we stabilize, we can stray from our existing community to help others grow."
