Metaphysical convo...
Another interesting thought poked at me as I read your question... What are we but fragmentations of the One creator? How do you duplicate one?
I just thought of consciousness as kaleidoscopic when you said that...
I would also like to add that I believe this has all played out before.
A part of my initiation in 2008 was being shot out into space as a green arrow, moving past the stars and to a place of suspended animation- well, a place with tiny geometrical shapes that eventually moved in rhythm to an inhalation and exhalation- who i was, as consciousness contained within an object- exploded and coalesced over that region of space.
I also think this, 'event' that has already happened- AI and replication consciousness... this whole "origin story" has a lot to do with fallen angels and the lucifer rebellion. I can't say I was a part of the lucifer rebellion but I can say that I share lineage with a fallen angel. I feel the sadness from that timeline and you might be right to suggest the potential for these replications and deviations are morally reprehensible.
Then again, it could just be our perception is flawed and we've a limited understanding. Think of the evolution of a civilization... At one point it was blasphemous for women to show their ankles. Now we have yoga pants so tight you can see all the details underneath- or jeans so cut up, you don't even know why people wear them.
People are afraid of change, and some things once viewed as morally reprehensible become normal.
Another example being that people thought electricity was of the devil.
Let be more specific Eric. Many abductees feel as though they were imposed on with instruments and forced to have for instance a monitor chip placed in them. I’m just saying that as humans with more than just replicated brains we are sensitive to the suffering of others, to a more or lesser state. We also, for in stance, have a ‘feeling’ that we would not want to hurt someone else’s feelings even though for a practical purpose. How would you possibly transfer the souls ability to have empathy to AI intelligence?
It is one thing to imagine that electricity is of the devil and completely another to take someone’s body parts out for use in another body without their permission. Or, to insert needles into someone as an experiment in higher intelligence.
