4001

In the year 4001 we discover that every living thing sprinkled throughout the universe on each habitable planetary womb is but one molecular part of God’s everlasting body.

Pixels reside at our most basic level. The same pixels you’ll find on your computer screen.

The advancement of technology is what expands new layers of what we call life— what once existed only virtually becomes as real as we perceive ourselves to be. Virtual reality grows another layer of life within our own— reflecting the larger layer of oblivion from which we sprang. What we call God— the big picture of ourselves— grows by adding these incrementally smaller layers within itself.

Each layer is not real. And yet this nothing is everything to us. We cannot die because we never lived. Although, we find ourselves unable to elude this artificial eternity either.
