Chapter 20: The Soul

Sitting at the table, Neil's face was sallow, and his body was still shaking. Victim poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, and Dees sat down next to Neil with a big grin, stretched out his slender arm and patted him on the shoulder, telling him that it was okay, it was just a prank, don't take it too seriously.

Neil took a few sips of water, and was silent for a long time, his mind was still churning about the scenes he had experienced before, and when his heart calmed down a little, Neil raised his head and asked Dees to tell him the detailed reason.

Dees picked up the three clear water glasses on the table and stacked them in front of Neil, then took the water cup from Neil's hand and poured the remaining half of Neil's drink into the top cup.

The cup of water glows like a spotlight on the top of the dance floor; Immediately afterwards, the half cup of water flowed through the bottom of the first cup to the second cup below, and the walls of the second cup began to glow, and the cup above it dimmed; The water then flowed between the second and third cups, and the light and shadow on the cups were as bright and dark as before. Eventually, half a glass of water flowed through the bottom of the third cup onto the table, and all three cups returned to their original transparent state.

Dice stretched out his slender finger and pointed at the table and said, "Neil, this pool of water is the soul; The glittering water cup is life; The dim cup of water is the corpse. Dees approached Neil and looked him into the eye, and Neil couldn't help but dodge backwards.

Diess smiled: "Neil, what your eyes can see is nothing more than a narrow line between red light and violet light in the full-color gamut spectrum, but there are countless things in this universe that cannot be detected by your eyes, such as various fluctuations below the red light and above the violet light, such as the ubiquitous dark matter, and the soul wandering in the universe." You've seen souls once, haven't you? It's the miserable white mist you saw when you floated above this flying machine just now, yes, it's the soul. The soul is a kind of cosmic existence outside of matter, they float in the cosmic space where living beings exist, and they are actually a special kind of energy. They have no fixed shape, no taste, and a negligible mass, and are boer colored, and cannot be seen by you earthlings or us, but we can observe them with the help of special equipment, and we can locate a particular soul, with this," Dees pointed to the rifle on the table,

"Capture them. The soul has the property of tending to complete life forms, just as the positive and negative poles of a magnet attract each other, and they are always looking for the essence of new life and combining with it, perhaps because of the self-consciousness given by the Creator at the beginning of the formation of the universe, or it is simply a physical phenomenon like thermal expansion and contraction. Souls can be found on all planets where life is abundant, such as the star of Thaur in our Thorpdaite system, and of course on the Earth, the Moon, and Europa in your solar system. They gather at the beginning and end of all life, from a dinosaur to a bacterium. They are combined with the shells of these living beings, assembled together, and form life. Neil's open mouth couldn't close, and Dyce looked at him, and continued, "Every living form that can move is composed of two parts, the body and the soul, and both are indispensable. The body provides the carrier, just like this spaceship, and the soul drives it, like the pilot of the spaceship, and the two combine to form life. All life in the universe, including you, me, an elephant or an insect, or even a grain of bacteria floating in the air, is made up of a combination of body and soul. The essence of life is like a cup of water, which is infused into the soul, and a life begins; The soul flows out of the glass of water, and a life ends. Of course, the 'water glasses' in the universe will take on a variety of forms, they are of different types, sizes, and complexities, but although the appearance of the water cups is different, there is no essential difference in the essence of life, because the soul in each water cup is exactly the same. So in this sense, we are not more noble than you, and you are not more noble than a paramecium, and the reason why we can live in this universe is the result of souls swimming in and out, so in our eyes, all beings are equal. Of course, this is only on the soul level, in fact, we are very different from you, you and paramecium, and that is because of the difference in the 'water glass' itself, just like the same means of transportation, the space shuttle and the children's tricycle, it is really very different. The attributes of the water cup determine the intelligence and ability of the living body. Hearing this, Neil's mind was churning, and he felt a very dazzling light appear in front of him, as if his whole life had been guided.

So, it has been passed down since ancient times

The legend of the "soul" really exists, and it is not groundless. He said to Dies: "Listening to your words, I can be described as enlightened. In fact, we humans have always had the saying of 'soul', but its authenticity has never been tested. Diess smiled, "Then you can be regarded as having experienced it yourself today." Neil nodded, "Yes, it was truly an experience that will never be forgotten." But why do I ...... every one Every reincarnation can still preserve the memory of the previous life? ”

"That's because when your soul was withdrawn from your body, I had already made a mark, and I made a single write operation on your soul fragment, so the memories of the generations it went through were not erased, and by the way, I can also set the percentage of memories of your past life at will. Of course, in the natural state, the default setting of soul fragments is to erase memories 100%, and once they leave the body, they will automatically empty themselves, erasing all the past experiences they have experienced. ”

"I've heard that the Chinese have a 'Meng Po soup' saying, which is exactly the opposite of the operation you described."

"That's right, it's a metaphor for their figurative nature of the soul."

"So, in my next life, it is possible that I will not be human."

"Neil, it should be accurate to say that it is a very precious fate that you are fortunate enough to be born as a creature of higher intelligence. You must know that the vast majority of life in the universe has only flowed silently for countless generations, unconscious, joyful and sad, but among hundreds of millions of souls, only one has flowed into your body, so you have the opportunity to hear what I said to you today, and it just so happens that you also have a brain that can understand these words, which is not an extremely rare luck. Neil was silent for a moment and muttered, "It should be said that every day I live as a human being is a miracle. Dees smiled evilly, "So, do you want us to take you back to Earth before the moon landing and erase all your memories after that?" ”

"No, Dees," Neil said sincerely, looking at Dees,

"I don't want to go back, instead, I want to go further. You're right, it's a very lucky thing that I was born as a human being on our little planet, and even more fortunate that I have the opportunity to participate in this adventure. In fact, as an astronaut who landed on the moon for the first time, from the moment I strapped my body to the seat of the spacecraft, I already took life and death very lightly. From the beginning, I saw this journey as an expedition, a human expedition, and at the same time my own. If I had returned to the beginning with my inner doubts, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life. Although my memory will be erased, at least from the moment I have the right to make a decision, I can't convince myself. I should indeed cherish my life of higher wisdom, but since God has blessed me to be a human being in this life, if I don't do something risky, I will waste this samsara. So, Dies, Wicktim, if I had a choice, I would like to ask you to let me know a little bit more, and if so, to put it mildly, even if I end up paying with my life, I will die without regrets. Dis laughed and patted Neil on the shoulder: "Haha! What a brave earthling! Life is nothing more than a cycle in the chrysalis of time, and it's not a big deal. What you gain and what you leave behind in this period of life is more important. So, Neil, let's take you on a new adventure. ”
