Neogenesis: Dawn of the New Mind

Morgue opens the Neogenian System with a demand that the mind be rebuilt from its foundations. The book announces a shift in collective consciousness and argues that hyperawareness is a rational achievement rather than a mystical accident. Early sections set the lineage in place through Hegel, Nietzsche, Richard Bucke's cosmic consciousness and Sri Aurobindo's supramental mind, then introduce the system's own terms: the Analog I of self-awareness, the Analog All of all-awareness, and the overview effect that marks the crossing between them. The middle chapters put belief itself on trial. Faith-based religion, scientific materialism, intuitive spirituality and moral absolutism are each examined as barriers to hyperawareness, with a study of reality tunnels and the filters that shape perception. A method of doubt follows, deploying the dream hypothesis, the deceiving god and the computer-generated reality to strip away unexamined conviction until reason stands as the framework of reality. Closing sections take up free will, the rational examination of God, and materialism's failure to explain mind. This first of the Neogenian books states the system's rational-idealist program for readers who want philosophy before practice.
