The Speed of Perception

Until now, man's division of the atom, so quick and barely detectable, has lacked true purpose-to create as we were created. The frequency of human thought was simply too slow. But after the splitting of matter, the technology to split time must naturally follow.The frequency of human thought is but a singular point between infinite ends. With the proper technology, one human mind can incorporate others and reside in a thousand skulls. Geniuses in every discipline can be subordinated to a single common mind, one man, thinking and living through others. Each man's entirety can be learned, his soul probed, and upon death the mental sequences that return him to his eternal origins decoded. Thus can a host of souls be stolen and stored for the right moment.Driven by a high speed processor, the frequency of human thought can be altered. Its bandwidth can be expanded, deepened and accelerated, until it takes the form of a white light of consciousness that only gods own. From such reference points, matter begins to slow its spinning. And when the atom is next divided, one man can inject his host of souls, watch in slow motion, and be lord of a new creation.Unless, of course, he can be stopped.
