I ONCE DREAMED OF A PERFECT UTOPIA... Was it a mere dream? Or was it indeed a gift from the divine?

in #love6 years ago

Some would contest that dreams are a gateway to the spiritual realm. A sort of “receiver” delivering information from a spiritual entity, passed on loved ones, God, and even “The Self”.

I am inclined to believe this is the case, either that, or I’m utterly brilliant.
Now, my father had instilled in me discernment all the while my grandmother provided me with a great deal of modesty. So despite the decent amount of knowledge they had also managed to sneak in there, I am still inclined to assume this particular dream was no mere manifestation of a reasonably intelligent mind or even that of genius.

It was of the perfect society.
A completely self-contained ecosystem. Where abundance runs rampant and yet nothing is taken for granted. Impenetrable to enemy’s, without an army to defend it. Nor a single hidden weapon lain in wait...even for “just in case”. There was no monetary system, but consistently advancing the community and creating incentives for individuals to contribute to this advancement… was unparalleled.

And that’s just the beginning…

In the beginning of this dream, I was watching overhead. I wasn’t a person at this point, instead I was almost like the eye of god observing a sped up game of Sim City.

It began to manifest amongst societies almost identical to today’s standards. I was observing the world change in seasons, grow in size and evolve steadily to a point only slightly more advanced than the world we currently see around us. When suddenly, similar to a “find your friends” app, this huge world map was beginning to produce small orbs of light, illuminating 1000s of faces. Each linked with an adjacent information tab providing their individual descriptions. In these descriptions it would state their IQ level. An extremely extensive list of their personality traits, health factors and overall potential community benefit rating.

Soon I noticed that above these scattered points of light, a memory of sorts played out before me. It was reflection of the technology and intelligence utilized in finding these personal details in an accuracy of 99.9%.
Psychological tests, brain scan mapping, exploration of past endeavors including any and all possible transgressions. It was made evident to me that no expense was spared in order to determine if one met the criteria. All resources possible was being utilized, including technology commonly associated with governmental black projects. This endeavor was far surpassing anything an average human being could even fathom.

In the beginning, a person’s acceptance was based solely on rather harsh criteria.
In short, one would have to be near perfect in every sense of the word. Right down to an exceeding amount of righteous altruism.

The original creation of this society was...experimental. It was only funded once by a monetary system and established in such a way that it would never need monetary currency again.

I watched its construction.

Little by little, every possible necessity and requirement for modern day Life and the advancement of that life was created. Completely self-sustainable.

I first noticed the gardens taking up the majority of its map. I noted the gardens were separated into four main sectors. Whereas each had been contained by a system of invisible fields which each sector to produce one of the four seasons. Within each sector, based on its established season would then be further sectioned into varying elevation levels. This observation led me to notice these gardens were surrounded by an intricate irrigation system to series of water recycling methods. These systems took the waste water filtering it accordingly and designating it to Necessary location. I could see every possible fruit and vegetable and textile/building material needed was grown. Better yet, nothing wasted. What could not be grown this way, mainly due to spatial constraints, was hydroponically grown in several facilities scattered throughout the gardens. On the outskirts of these gardens were enormous pastures, again, separated in four seasons. Collectively regulated and fully sustained by specifically programmed AI, of Which its soul purpose was to provide and care for this vast variety of livestock and plant life.

It became clear to me that all food, textiles, and any other needs that would require them were grown and harvested within this societal ecosystem. All the animals were given the highest quality of life. Allotted total freedom to roam and live as nature intended with next to no human interaction. The majority of what could be perceived as interaction was the careful monitoring which was used to make certain everything was provided for them. When anything, whether plant or animal, was harvested it was done with an excruciating amount of ethics and consideration. The humane treatment of ALL life was incomparable. Nothing was to be taken for granted. Nothing was to be wasted.

The energy systems, again completely self sustainable, were 100% clean and renewable. There were pressure sensors within the roads and transit ways. Thus, every passing “vehicle” and the like would essentially add to the population energy bank. Solar energy was vastly utilized and implemented on top of several of the largest skyscrapers that were designated as grand institutions. One being for education. Another being scientific advancement and discovery. A third being a resource collection and manufacturing area for needed items such as clothing packaging recreational needs etc. These large skyscrapers were essentially the main hubs for separate branches that we’re all connected to smaller facilities that would be associated to its Master facility. The majority of the architecture was of glass. All other materials were established with and able to be maintained by non-invasive and non-toxic technologies. Even the irrigation systems set up for the gardens, livestock, and humanity would utilize the energy created from the moving water during transference.

Suddenly I was in body walking amongst the population. Several generations had passed. I must have looked bewildered because a family almost instantly took notice of me and felt I needed some assistance.

They offered me the use of their “COM-Surface” and made a point to help me “get settled”.
My confusion was snowballing and gathering more by the second.
They explained to me the nearest device to establish me was at their home.

The youngest little girl with a smile from ear to ear reached out her arm and said

“don’t be scared I will gladly hold your hand the whole way home if you like.”

I gingerly took her tiny grasp in mine. The whole family began to lead me towards a train station of sorts. We hopped inside and within what seemed less than 30 seconds we abruptly stopped yet there was no feeling of being jerked from the immediate change in inertia. We stepped out and within a couple feet there was a long strip of homes all different yet roughly the same size. The father opened up the front door I was confused when I did not see him unlock it. I asked him why he did not have his door locked. He turned back and looked at me with questions regarding my statement just as much as I did in response to his action.
“Why would it be locked”he replied

“so no one breaks in your home or steals anything.”

He began to laugh and waved us all inside.

“Come on in, I guess I have some explaining to do.”

We all sat down in the living room with a large glass cube that was initially transparent yet the father laid his hand on top of the cube and stated out loud

“COM-surface there is a new person here, and she is in need of a habitat.”

He removed his hand and returned his gaze to me “OK go on pick what you like.”
Mimicking I placed my hand on the cube and a hologram appeared above it. It began showing me a large map overview very similar to what I was looking at from the sky above. I heard a voice that came from all directions
“What is your name?” “Áine Anderson”
“How would you like to be addressed?”
“Áine is fine, thanks.”
“Welcome Áine, please pick a potential location suitable to you.”

The large map I was seeing broke up into smaller sections each harboring their own striking features. I looked back at the father awaiting more instruction.

He put his hand up towards the floating hologram and begin to motion sectors to slide over pausing momentarily showing me that each had a description descending from each of the photographs. He pulled back his hand offering that I tryit myself. I had settled on one after what seemed like an endless sea of options. He then placed his pointer finger on the image. Suddenly it went from 2d and transformed into small three-dimensional maps within a translucent orb. He put both hands together around the orb and spread them back apart. The sphere engulfed the whole room and became a three-dimensional world we Literally could walk around and peruse to our liking.

“Now if you don’t like that one” he stated. “There are plenty of others we could look at and you can decide as you please.”
He waved his hand dismissively and everything went back to the 2-dimensional map.

“Go ahead, dig in”

I was in awe.

I stammered over my words a bit but I managed to squeak out.

“Uh...well... how much is it?”

His brow arched questioningly and began to chuckle again.
“You are a life and it is next to nothing to create what is needed for the maintenance of your life. Technology allows this in whatever fashion you choose”

He paused.

“...Well...within reason. All you must do is pick a location and Habitat style. Also, Since you are a single individual you were allowed to pick one rec space that is of your liking.”

“Rec space?” I asked.

“Yes a recreational space. Whatever you would like. If would like a library filled with reading material or a room for drafting or sculpting... the list is endless really. Would you like me to pull it up?”

“No thank you. I think I can manage.”

After what seemed like an eternity I had gone through all of my possible choices. All the while with a happy family in the background cheering me on.

A family lovingly accommodating me.

It was as if they had no idea that they hardly knew me from Adam.

I finished my order and the father continued.

“All right now, just press your hand on the COM- surface and say
-habitat order complete-"

I repeated the words and overheard the surrounding voice again.

“Habitat order completion within three hours... Would you like a transit to arrive for you and bring you to your destination when your habitat is prepared?”

I looked at the father inquisitively. He nodded.

”Uh… Yes please and thank you."

“You are extremely welcome Áine. We look forward to your continued evolution within UTOPIAN.”

Everything was as one would expect in a home. The mother began to cook dinner. The Children played outside and the father sat me down and begin to discuss with me the ins and outs of Utopian.

He explained to me that every family or individual was provided for.
I inquired about Utopian’s policy.

“Is this society based on socialism?”

He pondered and chose his words carefully

“In a sense I suppose..Yes...but for stronger reasons I’m much more inclined to say No…. In the past horrible things have come from socialism. There was so much room for a relatively decent human being to become power Hungry, corrupt, and soon enough cruel.”

“With no monetary system here the people do not undermine another’s livelihood and/or happiness in order to be the most wealthy...or the most powerful...
Socialism was always one individual higher than the other or, higher than the rest should I say... and having a monetary system utilized by a dictator is a breeding ground for corruption.
Not to mention, people in this society are given far more than a socialist establishment.”

“But...do people work?”

“Yes, absolutely if they would like.”

“And What if they don’t want to?”

“ Then they are clearly happy within their means and don’t have to…. However, there is...a sort of currency here called community points. It’s a form of exchange awarded solely for providing good deeds of service. Occupations here are solely based on good service. Which is simply defined as acts of service that are UNQUESTIONABLY beneficial for humanity and the growth of society or for the benefit of earth and its ecosystem.”

He continued.

“So for example if you wish to study medicine...you may study as you like and become a doctor. Perhaps you wish to create programs for our AI infrastructure that benefit society. You can become an engineer for the A.I. Programs. The only rules regarding created positions and those that seeks them are simple no position is possible and no job can be done, therefore awarded, unless it has been determined that it infallibly benefits and equally so, cannot harm. You can’t work in a position where it benefits humanity but it causes harm to earth and visa versa. You can be a counselor you can be a designer that design clothes from the COM-Surface. Even our youngest daughter designed a dress day before yesterday and she sent her design to the creation mod...now anyone in the market area that needs of a new dress and comes across it can decide on that dress. When it’s chosen our daughter earns community points that she can use in her future when she would like to upgrade her habitat.”

“Upgrades?” I asked.

“Upgrades can come in the form of a larger home or perhaps a swimming rec in addition to a physical exercise rec that came with the habitat.

“So no one tries to cheat the system?”

I was feeling almost confused by the complexity of it all.

“People have tried... but you see, it is practically impossible nowadays.
Everything is scrutinized in every possible degree voted upon by the masses and thoroughly tested after. Plus if someone comes up with a new way of doing things more beneficial than the current way of operation the suggestion is sent through via the COM-surface where its is run threw probability screens if it determined there’s promise it is then sent to the elders. Elders have the soul purpose to find any issues and come up with solutions that eliminate any remaining harm. It’s only AFTER that the redesigned suggestion can be put back out to society where it can be voted upon and implemented.”

“The elders are in charge like presidents or congress?” I asked.

“No they are not necessarily -in charge- so to speak. They are willing providers of service rigorously analyzed and determined to be the best of the best of us by having great intelligence and an unwavering ethical operation. There are 100 of them. They earn community points for their service but are in no way in charge they give unto the rest of us with what prime creator bestowed upon them. Their only job is to determine if things within society are beneficial….if they do harm… and to find solutions if necessary.”

“So basically unlike socialism one is only benefited here by doing good works and being a good person that is the only way you get rewarded in Utopian.”

“We have been established for some generations and with this system in place greed has all been eliminated, in turn corruption and 98% of crime has been eradicated. All such things are now only written about in history books.”

“ Everything is provided here, at least, by our terms. You cannot live outside of your means. Not of course, without benefiting the evolution of the grand design. Even still the generous provisions given for basic livelihood is more than comfortable.”

“What if someone kills someone else”

“Should someone become wayward and say…. murder out of passion, that person is banned. NEVER to return. We do not kill or mame. We do not have weapons. Instead we have an impenetrable infrastructure that has long been made such as it is by the brilliant engineers and programmers that have received community points to make it as flawless as possible. Without corruption and greed technology is not hidden to gain or keep others beneath anyone else so advancements are astronomical. But still all under control. A.I. is very compartmentalized there is no A.I. programmed to create a mindset of its own. It can learn with in its allotment of it’s particular job. There is no “master brain”

We are the master… we are the brain just as we are the Circuit of laughter brain that is concrete store or what town what are you doing call God. Simply understand now and we are working toward it planned manifestation abundant love and loving every possible experience with those things being our mission.

“We aim to be all loving all knowing and growing with all of our capabilities manifested. Yet will not act as a virus on the rest of prime creator…. “

I paused and heard a chime knowingly I walked towards the door, opened it to find my transportation to my new home. I turned back to the family.

The rest of prime creator… is everything else in the universe?

The father smiled warmly.

“Everything that ever was IS and will be… and EVERYTHING that you ARE.”

I smiled back

“And it is precious..”

“Correct …
Again welcome to utopian and to your continued evolution”

That was where it ended.

More intense then I can convey here with words.

But should anyone have a question regarding any aspect of the functionality of this society I’ll do my best to answer. I truly have yet to find a fault regarding how it operated.

Blessings and love

Others have had that dream, too.

This one was published in 1887.

Rule by force is the disease, who and how are symptoms.

That link doesnt work @freebornangel. Do you have another source please?

It works for me, but may be data heavy.
The book is Looking Backwards by Edward Bellamy.
Duckduckgo brings up a number of links.

This one takes a couple clicks to get to it.

Thanks. That worked

Wow indeed T-A-A, this is some Dream, some Vision. It is recognisable, it seems real, it seems doable...it looks like a glimpse of Life in a/the New Paradigm :D.

It also makes me think of a post that I read quite recently, which links to a booklet called 'And Then There Were None', by Erick Frank Russell. This contains a vision of a possible world that seems extremely compatible with what you have laid out - just the outer form is different.

I like how you use 'soul' for 'sole'.
