Alternate Personalities of a Cosmic Mind

“Alternate Personalities of a Cosmic Mind” is an existential exploration of reality, consciousness, and identity told through the eyes of Maia Yetta Rose, an EMT whose ordinary life unravels into extraordinary revelations. She is haunted by vivid dreams, persistent déjà vu, and a growing sense that the boundaries separating individuals, nature, and the universe are illusions. This isn’t just in her head—it’s a window into a truth far deeper than science or religion.
Maia begins encountering others who share her experience, each struggling with what they believe to be fractured realities. Together, they uncover that all living organisms are dissociated alters of a single cosmic consciousness—an unfathomable mind that experiences the universe through countless individual lives, much like a cosmic-scale dissociative identity disorder. The inanimate world around them is simply the revealed appearance of this vast consciousness’s thoughts.
As Maia grapples with this revelation, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery that challenges her understanding of life, death, and her role in the cosmos. Every life form, every alter, is part of the same singular being. Death, as she learns, is an illusion—merely a shift in the observation point of this one consciousness, moving from one life form to the next in infinite reincarnation across time and space.
Inspired by the philosophical works of Bernardo Kastrup and cosmic metaphysical theories, “Alternate Personalities” of a Cosmic Mind explores profound questions about the nature of self, existence, and our place in the universe. It is a story for readers who enjoy thought-provoking fiction in the vein of Ted Chiang’s “Story of Your Life” or the works of Philip K. Dick, offering a unique blend of speculative fiction, existential philosophy, and character-driven narrative.
With rich themes and a mind-bending narrative, “Alternate Personalities of a Cosmic Mind” invites readers to reconsider their understanding of reality.
