Soulwaves : A Future History

About the author

There is, and was, a time before time and a place before space. This is known as The Void.

The Density of our Universe is spawned from The Void.

The Void is inhabited by twelve Councillors of the Light. They are responsible for supervising events in The Density. They do this by manipulating Soulwaves.

Soulwaves are the missing energy which bond galaxies to galaxies, stars to stars, planets to stars and moons to planets.

Now and again the Council have to intervene directly in the Density. They do this by means of an Insertion. This requires one or more of them to become incarnate. They mainly do this at times of transition and expansion.

Their presence is always felt but rarely detected. In the early days of the Universe, there was nobody around to see them so they came and went with abandon. These days, they have to be more circumspect and innovative in the way they arrive and in the manner they are reabsorbed into The Void.

The novel Soulwaves : A Future History is the story of one of these Insertions, from birth right through to Extraction. It starts in Beijing in the near future and ends on the other side of the galaxy. It tells of the next phase of human evolution and the transition from Epoch Five, where we are now, to Epoch Six. This is the transition where we evolve from being planetary users to being cosmic caretakers.

The twelve short stories which comprise Soulwaves : Insertions are both prequels and sequels to the events in this novel. Like the novel that inspired them, they are of course completely fictitious, laced with threads of universal truths. They are complete conjecture and wild rides of the imagination.

They can be savoured and enjoyed if you have not read the novel but will make more sense when both books have been consumed. The order in which you read them is not important. Soulwaves themselves will pull you in the direction which is right for you.

The Insertions

Insertion i : The Scroll explores the concept of a walk-in. This occurs when someone goes through a traumatic event, like a near-death experience, and then comes back to Earth Plane with super-sensory powers. This is the only tale which runs concurrently with events as foretold in Soulwaves : A Future History.

Insertion ii : In Dua, the role of higher intelligence in steering the direction of life in the Universe since the get-go is explored. Back at the dawn of time, there was no need to obfuscate the Councillors’ presence or actions.

Insertion iii : Sol describes a pivotal time in development for humanoids when The Word was literally made flesh. Humankind became self-aware.

Insertion iv : The Quad goes back to the termination of Epoch Three on a planet known as Lemu. Some refer to it as Lemuria these days. It was a time when Councillors could be summoned directly into the Density.

Insertion v : Set in the Cold War in the 1960s, Obscurity tells of how some Insertions go completely unnoticed but subtly alter the course of history.

Insertion vi : Hex is based in Sumeria around 4000BCE. When humans learned how to write using syllables, rather than with pictograms, a new magic was unleashed. It allowed thoughts to become manifest in the Density. The magic of incantations and mantras is still with us today but is largely forgotten.

Insertion vii : If you have ever felt you were part of something bigger, Septima explains how our Universe is just the tip of the cosmic iceberg. This tale literally describes the dawn of everything.

Insertion viii : Octavious leaps right into the future towards the end of Epoch Six, when different sentient species in the same galaxy were first allowed to contact each other.

Insertion ix : Noma is a purely channelled narrative, more so than the other tall tales here. In it, the author experiences a temporary Insertion and upgrade to his consciousness and understanding, as will the reader.

Insertion x : After you read Io, you will always look at Jupiter and its moons with a new level of appreciation. Nothing that we see is quite as we imagine it.

Insertion xi : Elveland is based a little into our future, in 2039 to be precise, when COVID-38 finally gets eradicated. The cure does not come in the form of a vaccine but from a world under our world. A little of Jia’s back story is revealed here. Jia is the mother of Shen, the Inserted One, in Soulwaves : A Future History.

Insertion xii : The Duadex brings the book and the whole of evolution in this particular Universe to a close. When one cycle finishes, it is merely the point when another cycle starts

Souls are seeds

Seeds become souls

One and the same

If truth was told

‘Tween fact and fiction

These tales do come

Playing with diction

Having temporal fun

All is false

Yet all is true

Believe it or not

It’s up to you

This is going to hurt.

These were the last words I remember before the accident. The rest was a blur.

The taste of blood in my mouth. Feeling loose teeth. The pain in both my arms. Seeing a bone sticking out of my leg. Thanking god my helmet lessened the blow to my head. Worrying about my new electric bike.

An elderly woman coming towards me from her car, I didn’t see you. I am so sorry.

The paramedics asking, Pamela, stay with us.

The neck brace going on. The mask being placed over my mouth. Feeling almost tipsy with whatever gas they were giving me. Then the pain dissipating before I lost consciousness.

I have no memory of getting to the hospital or going into the operating theatre.

The next thing I remember was floating above my body, seeing a throng of doctors and nurses patching me up. Just vague memories of what was said.

We’re losing her!

Clear!

It must have been about then that I went through the Light Tunnel and emerged in a Chamber. I think there were twelve of them but I only remember one of them clearly.

I am Unity, I think she said.

I remember she sat on a cube between two pillars that seemed to stretch to infinity above her head. Her head had a strange crown with a luminous globe on top of it. She was beautiful and both young and as old as time.

She rolled up a scroll she had been reading, handed it to me and said, All you need to know is in here. This is yours now.

Clear!!

Time to go back, Unity said. I will walk in with you.

It took three months before I could walk without crutches again.

The elderly lady, Mavis, came to see me each week. Out of guilt, I think.

The first thing I said to her was, You don’t get many Mavis’s these days.

I told her it wasn’t her fault and that I just had got excited on my first day out on my new electric bike.

The insurance company never did pay out. The letter even explained how it wasn’t generally known that modern speedometers kept a time- and date-stamped record of all speeds above 15.5 miles per hour when the battery was engaged. The Cloud was keeping tracks on the minutiae of so many human activities these days.

What I didn’t tell Mavis was that she only had a year before she was to return to the Light. I didn’t tell any of the doctors or nurses that I knew the day that each of them would die too. It was just a new knowing.

I did tell Adrienne, my occupational therapist, not to get engaged to her bullying boyfriend Ken. That was a learning as I had a bit of relapse after that session and needed to go back on morphine. It was around then that Unity started talking to me.

At first, this was in drug-induced dozes and in my dreams. It wasn’t long though before I could ask a question and she would answer back. It was always in my right ear. It was
