Current project : Nov 2011 onwards
Right now I'm trying to imagine a society of at least several million genuine spiritual people forming a viable futuristic civilization, a nation, but organized according to a higher principle (=purpose?). It is as if a time machine had gone back and invited all the good people to form a community in the 25th century, not on earth, but in the heavens : on the moon, or on mars or on one of the terraformed satellites of Jupiter... A tendency to goodness or spirituality, as for every other trait, is subject to the normal distribution, so this is plausible science fiction. Communities of highly spiritual persons have always existed, even now, but there has never been enough of them alive at the same time to form a nation (of sorts) and certainly not a futuristic one. The people in this story will be from all races, creeds, times and places - these differences do not bother them for theirs is the type of mentality that frequently feel service to a higher reality more central than personal or tribal survival, of which their society is a but a manifestation......
A natural attribute of this civilization would be that their biomedical technology is more developed than their military technology, members would feel that the architecture of their communal temple-cathedrals more important than that of their private homes.....
To try and see the world through the eyes of one such protagonist of the story is turning out to be tougher than I thought.....
