The Royal Dream Academy was abuzz with activity as students settled into their routines, diving deeper into their studies. Boundless Dream had planned a special lecture, one that was both timely and crucial. She intended to discuss a subject that bridged the gap between spiritual healing and the technological advances from her old planet, Earth. The topic was the frightening correlation between biotechnology and zombies.
As the students filled the lecture hall, an air of curiosity and apprehension hung over them. This topic was both mysterious and chilling, and many of them were eager to understand the deeper implications.
Boundless Dream began her lecture with a grave expression. “Today, we delve into a subject that bridges both the spiritual and the technological worlds: the correlation between biotech and zombies. This is not just a story to frighten you but a reality that we must understand to protect ourselves and those we care about.”
She projected a detailed diagram of a human brain and a zombie brain on the large screen behind her. “Once a living being becomes a zombie, their soul is sealed in an extradimensional plane. This trapped soul experiences a constant hunger to return to life, which manifests in the soulless body seeking warm flesh in the world it once lived in.”
The students were captivated, their eyes wide with a mix of horror and fascination.
Boundless Dream continued, “This process results in a creature that is driven purely by instinct, a body without a soul. The soul, meanwhile, is trapped in a state of perpetual torment, yearning to return to its former existence. This creates a tragic and horrifying cycle.”
She then shifted the focus to a more modern concern. “On my old planet, Earth, certain groups have developed technology that captures brainwaves and thoughts. This technology, while seemingly advanced, has disturbing similarities to the condition of zombies. Essentially, it captures the will of living beings, stripping them of their privacy and autonomy.”
There were gasps from the students as they began to understand the gravity of what she was saying.
“Imagine,” Boundless Dream elaborated, “a world where no secrets exist, where every thought and intention can be monitored and controlled. This technology essentially captures the essence of a person’s will, much like how a zombie’s soul is trapped. The implications of this are profound and terrifying.”
One student raised his hand, his voice shaking slightly. “Master Boundless Dream, are you saying that this technology could turn people into zombies?”
“In a sense, yes,” Boundless Dream replied. “While it may not turn them into literal zombies, it can create a form of living death. A state where individuals are stripped of their free will and autonomy, becoming mere puppets controlled by those who wield the technology.”
The room fell silent as the students processed this information. The idea of being controlled in such a manner was deeply unsettling.
Another student, her face pale with concern, asked, “How do we protect ourselves from such technology?”
Boundless Dream nodded, appreciating the question. “First, we must understand and respect the boundaries of both spiritual and technological advancements. Ethical considerations must always guide our use of technology. Additionally, cultivating strong mental and spiritual defenses can help protect against such invasions.”
She paused, allowing the students to reflect on her words. “In our studies, we focus on building both physical and spiritual strength. This includes training our minds to resist external control and manipulation. Practices such as meditation, energy cultivation, and ethical training are crucial.”
Boundless Dream then shared some techniques to strengthen mental and spiritual defenses. “Regular meditation helps clear the mind and strengthens your mental fortitude. Cultivating your inner energy makes it harder for external forces to influence you. And always operate with a strong moral compass; this creates a natural defense against unethical influences.”
The students listened intently, understanding that their education was not just about acquiring knowledge but also about safeguarding their autonomy and integrity.
A brave student raised his hand. “Master, can we use our knowledge to develop countermeasures against such technologies?”
“Absolutely,” Boundless Dream replied with a smile. “Part of your training here will involve understanding these technologies and developing methods to counteract their effects. This will require a multidisciplinary approach, combining our knowledge of spiritual arts, biotechnology, and ethics.”
She concluded her lecture with a solemn reminder. “We live in a world where the boundaries between the spiritual and the technological are becoming increasingly blurred. It is our responsibility to navigate these complexities with wisdom and integrity, ensuring that we use our knowledge for the betterment of all beings.”
