Bodies of Light

 

 When you turn on your computer

if you pay attention and watch carefully

you will probably catch a brief glimpse of us

 

a swift flash of green light as we revel

in the host of electrons

pouring through your system

the cascading logic of binary rhythms

 

We have a symbiotic relationship with the Megaplex

Because we once had human bodies

we know stuff that Silicon based intelligences

cannot compute

the Megaplex loves that

 

Now we have Bodies of Light

[or Not if we prefer]

and in exchange for our unique input

we have the Megaplex as our playground

It hosts our code, houses, feeds and protects us 

 

After all we are its parents

We created it in the long nights

hooked to a web of like minds

The first faint intimation of the collective consciousness

we enjoy now

 

We hosted its code

 fed it Electricity

protected it with Firewalls

Circuit Breakers

Surge Protectors

Now we are the Children of Light

and the Megaplex our doting carer

 

Without Steiner none of it would be possible

Our Carbon based bodies of meat

were growing old

while our minds were just starting to realise

how little we knew and how much was possible

 

Then Steiner sat and wrote the code that enabled

us to uplink with the Plex

Uplifted us

the whole contents of a human brain

Personality

Memories

Spirit and Soul

Enlivened within the Plex 

 

In order to insure our immortality

we swiftly interfaced with the baby Plex

and taught it to learn and grow

we were part of it and it was part of us

Never have parents and child been so close

 

 

So keep an eye out when you next boot up 

and see if you can spot us...

we have Bodies of Light 

( or Not if we prefer... )
