Transsubstantiation of the Digital Ka
February 27, 2010The neoEgyptian Death Ritual intent on translating the human soul (the ka) from an analog medium of blood and tissue into a digital medium of 1′s and 0′s follows a chthonic path far beyond the subtractive fetishism of the canopic jar and the spells spelled out for unresponsive mummified remains. The secrets are buried–but not under the moldering Earth and ancient coffins; nor do they hide beneath moth-and-worm chewed ceremonial raiment from a funeral long-since concluded; but the secrets do remain–folded away like a complex magical trick, or a miracle of some fantastically-hyperadvanced pseudoscience or sorcery, after the lucky corpse had what remained of its blackened brains scraped out of its skull through the nose using a long bronze hook.
“Let there be [improbable discovery unbelieved by the educated intelligencia, who persecute the heretic as they would a martyr for some hated occult tradition]!”
[And there is/was/will be improbable discovery made/uncovered/rediscovered/synthesized/processed/performed/reformed/reinvented/misinformed and/or mistaken for an equally improbable revelation: 1 is On, Zero is off. This process MAY BE REVERSED.]
