Dossiers A Better Life The Psionic Predator, by Charles Cosimano | Page 87

afterword
I've had a lot of fun being nasty in this book but let me be serious for just a minute.
There are a lot of people out there who have nothing better to do with their lives than
make rules for other people to live by. The tragedy of our time is that there are people
who are gutless enough to actually follow them. I'm here to tell you that you do not
have to.
The mere fact that someone states an ethical proposition in no way obligates
anyone to follow that proposition. You can ignore those things and you are better
off if you do ignore them. Recognize morality for what it is, a weakness and if others
possess that weakness, well, that just makes them so much sheep for the
slaughterhouse.
W. Clement Stone, the great financier, used to use a phrase, "Other people's money." I
use a similar phrase, "Other people's ethics." No one is bound to follow other people's
ethics. If they do not like what you do, let them try to stop you. And let them pay the
price for trying to stop you. With psionics you can make the price far higher than they
can afford to pay.
I have been doing this for many years. At this writing (November, 2006) it is nearly 45
years to the day of my first confirmed psychic kill when I was twelve years old. I will
celebrate that day, as I have done for a few years now, as the Day of Liberation. On
that day I learned what it was like to be beyond the reach of human law and human
judgement. For that one, intense and at the time terrifying moment, I was as god,
beyond the need for good and evil.
The author William S. Burroughs once wrote that "Anyone who can wield a frying pan
wields death." And that is true. But the wielder of the frying pan cannot get away with
it. The wielder of psionics can. That is the difference and when psionics reaches its
full potential we will have made the notion of the "rule of law" as quaint an anachronism
as "divine right of kings."
That is the implication of psionics that has frightened so many. When faced with the
societal implications of the work many have fallen back, retreated into healing or
agriculture, terrified of what future they may unleash. I have had no such terror. I
expect that you, my blessed reader, will have no such terror.
Let us face the reality that we have let loose upon the world and let us rejoice in the
dragons that follow in its wake.
