My Life as an Awoken

With Olumide bringing peace and stability to the region we can now approach them to see if we can create a Vault of the Purple Lotus in their country.

Alright lets pass this along to the right people. Then I can finally get some sleep.

With everything done, I am finally settled into the soft bed. After a long day I can finally sleep.

...

The next day I was awoken to more alerts.

Things really don’t want me taking it easy. I crawl out of bed with Xue Qing and quickly get ready.

Today’s alerts are similar to yesterday’s. In that they are more mystical.

We were getting reports of small and minor deities appearing. Nothing too major has happened yet, but their powers are interesting.

In Yamato there is a report of a local sea deity where if you pray and provide an offering you will be blessed with a greater harvest of fish.

Also in Yamato there is an academic shrine where if you pray and provide an offering you will have enhanced memory for a while.

So far most of these minor deities are appearing in Yamato. I believe that this is because their religion has the largest number of them.

While looking into the specifics I noticed that the type of offering matters.

For example the sea deity prefers offerings of the sea. Whereas the academic deity prefers offerings of literature.

However you can still provide money for a blessing. But, the amount varies per person. A person who is rich has to pay more than a person who is poor. My guess is that there is a sincerity level to the offering.

A person who is rich will have to pay more to actually feel sincere in their offering. While someone who is poor will feel immense sincerity with even a small amount of money.

I have also noticed that not everyone receives a blessing. The people who don’t receive a blessing come from all walks of life with no real distinction. It makes me wonder what hidden conditions they are not getting.

The other deities are for things like, health, crops, love, weather, and safety.

They are not wish granting factories. I can’t be sure of what people are wishing for but both weather and love deities seem to grant the least blessings. My guess is that those are wishes or blessings that can’t be given without consideration for other factors.

Like you can’t force another person to love you and you can’t have so many rainy days that it floods. So, both of them have more conditions to get blessings.

Anyway, now that we have confirmation of deities existing we can say with pretty good certainty that the bombing was caused by Dajjal.

This also means that if minor deities are appearing then what about more major ones? Like will we have full pantheons appearing? Some of those deities and gods can be really troublesome. Like Zeus.

This also calls into question how they are appearing. Have they always existed or are they being created right now?

If we consider the bombing a part of the data, then they must be created. Because that would explain why Dajjal caused it. Faith or fear must be used to create a God. But, what really is a God? A being created by our faith or our fear?

Wait, Dajjal is what would be considered an evil existence. Whereas the local deities of Yamato are worshiped and praised for their blessings that help the people.

That means that evil beings need fear to get more powerful and righteous beings need faith. So, we should say that evil beings are demons and devils or the like. While righteous beings are Gods and deities.

That also means that demons and gods are made by human thoughts or consciousness. That reminds me of the observer effect.

The observer effect is the physical or psychological change that happens to a system simply because someone or something is measuring, testing, or watching it. It applies across many fields, from everyday tools and quantum particles, to human behavior and computer code.

Examples are with psychology. People change how they act when they know a researcher is watching them. Another is Computer Science. A software bug stops happening or changes when you add diagnostic tools to track it.

In the quantum view you have superposition, where particles exist in a mix of multiple possible states or positions at the same time. Then you have wave function collapse, where measuring or interacting with a particle forces its undefined probabilities to snap into one concrete reality.

"Observation" in physics means any physical interaction with the environment, not a human mind watching. That’s what they say at least. However, to even check if that is right you still have to have a human mind look to see if that is correct.

The idea that something only exists when observed comes from quantum mechanics, specifically the observer effect, superposition, and wave function collapse. It does not mean physical objects vanish when you look away; rather, it describes how subatomic particles inhabit a realm of multiple probabilities until an interaction forces them into a single, definite state.

With all of this in mind I think it is possible to say that it is human consciousness that brings demons and gods to life. The collective consciousness forms together under a common understanding to create something from seemingly nothing.

After all, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. So, all of the monsters, abilities, and now gods have to come from something. Some kind of energy must be used to create them. My going theory is that, that energy is human consciousness.

I’m guessing that we reached an inflection point with how many sentient beings exist on Dirt, our planet. So, it somehow activated a reaction that condensed human consciousness into a more physical form.

Some of it is attached to people making abilities, and the rest turning into monsters and gods. Which would also explain why monsters are region and culture based like abilities.

Ok, I’m really onto something here.
