Quote: "KALAS" (A.GLASS 2019)
“...According to this Professor he was following in the early eighties, it was supposed to have happen last year in two thousand and nineteen, but no mention of a virus. No one saw that coming, nor did anyone cope too well and this solar storm hit, it was the icing on the cake...” Kalas chuckles as she looks at Lowe who also has a grin. “...As my father used to say, it always comes in twos...So, ghosts or reincarnation? Well the Jewish mystics, the medieval Kabblists, believed that reincarnation is a way of eventually reaching the heavenly state, in a process, after dying the soul returns to this...” She metaphorically points at a darkened New York City, she then looks at Lowe. “...Lower realm. It's kinda, like, you gotta fix it before moving on to be closer...” She looks down at her rifle. “...to god.”
“Like Karma,” Lowe interjects, as she reaches over Kalas's lap to her weapon, Kalas eyes her, looking at her actions, as she carefully lifts the tactical rifle, looking through the gun sight at the river in front of them both.
“Similar, but the Buddhists believe in breaking the cycle of birth, death and its suffering. Monotheistic religions however believe suffering is imposed by a deity...a will of god. Hence the philosophizing that has gone on for centuries trying to grapple with what this...” Kalas points at the sky again. “...god is. But, maybe ghosts do exist as a metaphor, as wandering, unsatisfied and disturbed manifestations of time. That end up materializing into human psychology, in a coincidental way...Does that make sense?”
Lowe continues looking through the sight, handing the weapon back to Kalas, she looks up a the skyline again. “Like repeating the past?”
“Yeah! It's like, the same mistakes over and over, you know? An imprint of errors, nothing to do with god or Karma, just the time lines...they're...” Kalas thinks of Liana again. “...fraught and broken, a pitiful mess, continually being mentally absorbed. And why would this be punishment? Nature doesn't even know we exist. And if there is a Nirvana or Heaven. A place. Where is it?”
