To be a ghost sipping cocktails in a bar on Europa
I’d like to be a ghost sipping cocktails in a bar on Europa
To be invisible to film
To fly through the seas of triton
To land on the sun.
Could I see through the eyes of Caesar
Make love to Aphrodite
Then sail to the new world
And build a pyramid at Giza.
Are there aliens beside me
viewing my deeds
And writers of books
sewing their seeds.
I’ll throw an apple to Neptune
Just to strike its eye,
And to make a fortune
That will make you cry.
Immortal I sleep
As the tip of a pen
The poly’s are gone
No message to send.

I’d like to be a ghost sipping cocktails in a bar on Europa {1}
To be invisible to film [having no light reflective energy form]
To fly through the seas of triton [delivering no friction]
To land on the sun. [not sensitive to heat beyond a given range [for experience]
Could I see through the eyes of Caesar [see a)]
Make love to Aphrodite {4}
Then sail to the new world {4}
And build a pyramid at Giza. {4}
Are there aliens beside me [well if I can do it!] {2}
viewing my deeds
And writers of books
sewing their seeds. [a) if history is recorded informationally that info exists in the present]
I’ll throw an apple to Neptune
Just to strike its eye, [why not, it wont make an effect]
And to make a fortune
That will make you cry. [the makers of such tech will own the world [so be one of them]]
Immortal I sleep [my mind would be in an equivalent to a virtual world {3}]
As the tip of a pen [it’s the source of all my journeys]
The poly’s are gone [polygons ~ computerised virtual world not required]
No message to send. [communication would be instant]
{1} a conscious product of information, like a virtual being but actual. in the sense that as our consciousness rises in our brains, the medium by which that occurs could be replicated elsewhere, and hence without body would not exist by its restrictions ~ atmosphere etc.
{2} surely aliens can do all this and may be right here amongst us.
{3} if I could go to any location invisibly ~ because here I am made of mind and information; where entities {mind}, objects {the body}, informations and spatial locations are interchangeable.
{4} ‘if history is recorded informationally, that info exists in the present’; our memories are presented to the mind fresh ~ in the present, in a similar way to how we first experienced them, memories arent ‘in the past’. information is timeless it doesn’t exist in the past it only exists in the moment when you access it.
If there were a way to access historical info then perhaps it could be presented to our consciousness as if to be our own memories. I don’t mean in mind control manner, but as if we are acting it out mentally but with the same information and characters to wit the info originally derived.
