Where Are We Heading? - Join the conference

Summary

Where Are We Heading? – Join the Conference” is a standalone, meta-fictional episode in a saga about descendants of visitors from the Andromeda galaxy who convene elite conferences to confront civilizational risks and advance an original metaphysics. The story opens with Adrian meeting Beatrix, whose cat-slit pupils and confession — she joined Dionysian rites in ancient Thebes after being retrieved via Herme’s “time mirror” — signal the novel’s blend of myth, science and speculative tech. A clandestine “orange envelope” triggers an invitation cascade: four initiators each recruit two candidates, pre-debating a plan before a plenary vote. The plan spans three collaborating factions — biological, physical, and literary — from biomedical breakthroughs and climate-flood contingencies to culture-shifting narratives. The novel’s thesis holds that humans are the embryonic agents of a new Demiurge: intelligent life must one day “re-package” the cosmos (a successor Big Bang), a view that seeks to reconcile resurrection, reincarnation and ethics within a physics-aware cosmology. This program is operationalized as a reader-participation meta-game — a distributed network of films, maps and markers layered onto platforms like Google Earth and YouTube to crowd-solve real problems and encode the book’s puzzles in the wild. Through brisk dialogues and reports, characters debate disarming terrorism, countering fanaticism with re-sacralized sexuality, and making “everyone feel important” enough to act—while the invitation chain (yes, another envelope) propels them toward the next conference. The result is a hybrid of reportage, speculative science, mythic motifs and participatory media, proposing actionable cultural technologies to avert catastrophe and shape humanity’s cosmic role.

Prologue

The text “Where Are We Heading? - Join the Conference” is a stand-alone novel, although it is also an “episode” of a larger whole; hence at times one can notice allusions to the characters and actions described in other volumes of this saga.

The cycle begins with the novel “The Arrivals from M31 Galaxy Are Among Us,” in which we meet the saga’s original protagonists — the visitors from the galaxy distant from us, called Andromeda. Their first steps on our planet are depicted in the novel “Sissi the Alien.”

The descendants of the visitors are distinguished by extraordinary vitality. They struggle not only with the challenges of their personal lives, but also make enormous efforts to understand the world and to formulate ways of overcoming the mounting difficulties. To this end they organize the elite conferences they are so fond of, to which they invite people who are able to indicate ways of avoiding the catastrophes that threaten us.

The first of these conferences is described in the novel “The Stars’ Promise of Rescue.” The present text portrays the preparations for the second meeting of the visitors’ descendants, which likewise aims to better understand the world and to protect it from disaster.

The characters of this narrative cycle do not wish to be mere talkers. They strive to provide practical, real tools. One of the means of effective influence they see in a specifically understood sexuality, which accords with the libidinal concept of Carl Gustav Jung, whom they revere. These practical tools are presented in separate texts entitled “Healer Girl” and “Illumination.”

This novel is also a guidebook for participants in the so-called global meta-game in real reality.

This particular novel, “Where Are We Heading? - Join the Conference,” is a fictionalized form of offering answers to questions that have troubled humanity since the dawn of its existence. One may get the impression that it is science fiction, an adventure tale, or reportage. In fact, the author uses many means at once to present his original vision of the world.

The author’s hypotheses have been published in scientific journals. It seems that this original metaphysical concept—which may be called “The Theory of the Necessity of Human Beings in the Recurrent Renewal of the World”—was published by the author as the first of its kind in the world. James N. Gardner’s book “Biocosm — the new scientific theory of evolution — intelligent life is the architect of the universe” was published a year later, in 2003. Today the theory already has its adherents, although it remains little known. The theory is friendly, yet it arouses enormous resistance. Its message provokes such considerable controversy that the author decided to publish the novel under a pseudonym.

From every new, important metaphysical concept there follow conclusions concerning ethical issues. The author has formulated and illustrated these conclusions.

One of the essential inspirations for formulating the theory “about the birth of a new Demiurge” was the observation that people have an irresistible urge to understand everything and are carrying out an extraordinarily rapid development of technology. Advances in multimedia and information technologies, and especially the ever-greater possibilities offered by the Internet, prompted the author to propose within the novel a kind of creative game. The book is therefore also a guide to activities referred to here as a meta-game, engaging participants in the enactment of important events and arousing strong emotions. In the course of this creative play, the entire world is to be treated as a kind of “board” for a game sometimes similar to certain popular computer games.

Within the content of the novel there are certain puzzles. Discovering them may be a revelation for many. Solving them, however, requires visiting several websites.

This work is also reportage. Many people contributed to its creation. Their names appear in the text of the novel. The author offers these people his thanks, as he is deeply grateful to them for their intellectual effort and their contribution to formulating the novel’s message.
