The Divine Dissimulation [Complete]

Chapter 22 Abraham Returns to the Divine Dimension

Abraham fell asleep in the cryogenic tank, and his mind was transferred to the Divine Dimension. Satisfied of being back, Abraham didn’t intend to ever return to the outside world. Four years had passed since he left Earth and his body had deteriorated badly.

Ideally, Abraham would have transferred his mind to a neuronal computer so that his digital personality could live on forever. Doing this was a widespread practice in the past for other prominent Terran leaders. Abraham had never believed in this technology for two reasons:

·         The first reason was that it was technically the same as dying and whatever was transferred to the neuronal computer was just a copy and not the original him.

·         Secondly, Abraham feared what would happen to his soul if his mind were transferred in the moment of death. There was no conclusive answer to this theological question, and as Abraham was not a man who could let go of control, he had instead invested heavily in life-extending technology, where others’ chose to have their mind transferred to a neuronal computer when their time was up.

After his first visit to the Divine Dimension, Abraham did not fear Yahweh and what would happen to his soul the day he died, instead, his fear was of a more practical nature.  The God Chip meant to control the angels, and the humans were designed to connect to the host's brain. There was no way he could reverse engineer the God chip.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the Divine Dimension was the lack of natural time cycles, which enabled Abraham to manipulate the time in the ordinary dimension to his liking. He could slow down the outside time to extreme slow-motion which allowed him to control multiple individuals at the same time, or he could speed up the time to the extent where an hour in the Divine Dimension was equivalent to a year outside the Divine Dimension. He could not; however; reverse time to undo things that had already happened.

Abraham predecessor in the Divine Dimension, Yahweh had suffered from the same limitation, which refuted the claim that he had been omnipotent. For Yahweh's Bronze Age followers; it had seemed unwise to anger him with this detail thus his unlimited power was written down and described for future generations.

When walking around in his new domain, Abraham came across archives that described the rise of humanity on Earth and how the first gods came to be.
