《GENE Project: Path to Perfection》Chapter 19: The Seven Chakras
Advertisement
“What exactly does this soul cultivation business entail?” asked Aman after he finished processing the information heaped on him by the AI.
[Just like the awareness of your soul via soul sensor makes your soul stronger, manipulating it does too. And it is more effective.]
“Basically, if I repeat the exercise the selector had us do during the test for entrance to the Indian Institute of Eugenics, then my soul will grow?”
[In theory, yes. But it has been found that manipulating the soul in various specific ways, more accurately, circulating it through or condensing it in seven particular points on the human body exponentially increases the efficiency of soul growth.]
“Seven points? Wait! You can’t mean…”
[Exactly. The seven chakras.]
Here, for those who have never contacted yoga in any form, some context is required.
The seven chakras are from bottom to top:
Root chakra — base of the spine
Sacral chakra — just below the navel and between the kidneys.
Solar plexus chakra — stomach area.
Heart chakra — centre of the chest.
Throat chakra — base of the throat.
Third Eye chakra — forehead, just above area between the eyes.
Crown chakra — top of the head.
The chakras form the basis for most yogic practices as well as many Buddhist meditative exercises as Buddhism originated from India.
Aman had studied yoga along with the rest of his class during the physical education classes. He had thought that they were just there for cultural heritage preservation. Now, he was not so sure.
He felt that the government had soul cultivation in mind when they had set the curriculum.
The AI continued, [In the case of Ancient Chinese Civilization soul cultivation, the Sacral chakra, the Heart chakra and the Third eye chakra are only used. Although, they are called the Lower dantian, the middle dantian and the upper dantian respectively.]

[In the case of the Mesopotamian Civilization soul cultivation, only the Crown chakra is used. They call it the Heavenly cord as they believe that all humans are connected to mother nature via a spiritual umbilical cord. That is why their technique is called Heavenly connection technique.]
“Then? Then yoga should be the cultivation of all seven of the chakras equally. Right?”
[Right.]
“So, as far as I can guess, this soul cultivation should be the key to getting stronger and exceeding the limits of humanity. So, which type is the best for me?”
[Yoga.]
“Why?”
[I will go into details about the different methods of cultivation later, but you should just know that you cannot simultaneously cultivate the Ancient Chinese Civilization method and the Mesopotamian Civilization method.]
[More accurately, you cannot simultaneously cultivate the Heaven chakra and the upper dantian to the degree required by the respective techniques. So, your only choice is to practice yoga which cultivates all chakras equally.]
Aman frowned. “The way you put it, does it mean that I HAVE to cultivate both of those two chakras for some reason?”
[Yes. You need the Heaven chakra for you to connect to your genes that you have sold off. And, you have actually already started cultivating your upper dantian.]
Aman was confused. “When?”
[When I was created. The final goal of the Ancient Chinese Cultivators for cultivating the upper dantian was to create a nascent divinity, in other words a second personality that would be able to manage their subconscious mental resources and help them cultivate automatically. In short, an AI.]
“Like you!” exclaimed Aman.
[Like me.] agreed the Ai.
[Congratulations another me. We have cultivated the upper dantian to its completion.]

“’Another me’? What do you mean? Actually, now that I think about it, you have been behaving quite differently since you switched yourself off to conserve energy.”
[My personality finally formed in that time. I was parsing through your memories and building myself up off them. I consider you, me. I consider me, you. We are one and the same. Two minds in one body.]
Aman was silent for a time before he spoke. “Do you have a name in mind for yourself then? Or, do you want me to name you?”
[Having you name me would mean that your social position is higher than mine. So, no. No thank you. I have decided upon my own name. Henceforth I shall be called Nama.]
“The reverse of my name? Really? You couldn't come up with anything better?” scoffed Aman.
[Nama means ‘name’ in Sanskrit, the language of the first yogis. Seeing that you are going to be practicing yoga and my main job will be assisting you, I think the name is quite appropriate. Let alone, I consider myself another version of you. The flip side of a coin if you will. So, having a name that is the obverse of yours is quite natural in my opinion.]

Silver Fox and the Western Hero
Author's Note. This is book 7! Please feel free to hop on and enjoy! If you find you like my writing style, I hope you'll check out the first 6 books, all available to read on Kindle Unlimited, link below!) Alex was dying, and all the millions his father had left him meant nothing. The life he had been so eager to embrace, to do the memory of his father proud, would soon come to an end. Cancer. That ugly, terrible word. He had tried to be strong for his mother, even when the treatments left him violently ill, his body wracked with pain, his friends and even his girlfriend leaving him almost as fast as his once impressive physique wasted to nothing under the ravages of his illness. And just when he thought all hope was dead, a couple discrete referals placed by high-powered friends of his family got him an exclusive spot at the most sophisticated cryonic facility in the world. He didn't know if there was such a thing as an afterlife, but part of the package included uploading a copy of his cortex into a digital universe filled countless worlds to explore, where he could embrace whatever class or profession he could dream of. All of which sounded hell of a lot better than the miserable death waiting for him in the real world. In the end, he signed the paperwork, putting his pathetic flickering life in the hands of potential quacks and charlatans. After all, with death just days away, what did he have to lose? Even if he could never be successfully revived, he could at least adventure his heart out. (Authors Note: Books 1-6 are now live on Amazon and here is a link if you wanted to check it out! And I will continue to post chapters to Book 6 here first, until that tale is told! I hope you enjoy! And if you wanted to help support my work by checking out book 1 on Amazon, I would be extremely grateful!)

Real science is done on the edge of knowledge. If done correctly, you really are not certain of the outcomes. If done incorrectly, people can get hurt. This is the story of a researcher tossed across reality. Current update schedule is entirely sporadic, but I do commit to not dropping the story. I'm aiming for 1 small chapter a month at the moment.

Survival ain’t easy even in the best of times. These are not the best of times. Alexander lived because he had to. He really didn’t have another choice.
8 201Right Hand of God
Ghosts, demons, and all things that go bump in the night crawl the Earth. Rarely, some people are born with the ability to see the supernatural no matter what form it takes to conceal itself, including invisibility. Even more rarely, some people are also born with the ability to exorcise any supernatural entity. This ability always manifests in the right hand and arm, and so in some circles it has come to be called the Right Hand of God. Jacob Davidson, a black seventeen-year-old living in Normal, Ohio, has been secretly fighting and exorcising ghosts all his life using this power. One night, however, a seemingly average job takes an unexpected turn when Jacob meets the sarcastic, suave, and ironically named Agent Mann, a revenant who hunts other supernatural creatures, and has his first encounter with the denizens of Hell itself. Now Jacob and Agent Mann must team up to stop all Hell from literally raising. But with the mysterious power known as the Left Hand of Lucifer also rising in Normal, Ohio, do they have any chance of success?
