FLY ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

Total Amnesia is talking the science in the fiction and applying it to the spirit, not just the physical universe.  Its entire basis is that you ARE a spirit.  So why aren’t you acting like one?  Why can’t you simply fly across the universe and blow up a star? 
“Oh no no no!”  You say. “You can’t ‘fly’ without a spaceship you’d freeze!  You can’t blow up a star, you’d get vaporized!  And what if there’s a populated planet nearby.  You’d kill them all!  Furthermore, you can’t see without eyeballs and optic nerves or hear without Semicircular Canals and Tympanic membranes and you certainly can’t think without a brain!  Right?”
Wrong.

In this story, flying across the universe is the most natural thing a spirit does.  Agreeing with all the material constraints is the most un-natural thing you do!  How did you get into this condition?  That’s the adventure of Total Amnesia.

EXCERPT FROM TOTAL AMNESIA:

“You are a spirit, Tim.  A spirit is not composed of ‘matter’ and ‘energy’ and, in this case, ‘space’—it’s only the material universe that contains those components.  You ARE NOT a product of this universe, this universe is a product of you—actually mostly me.  You are independent of it, you are senior to it.  You are as big as you decide you are.  You are located wherever you decide you are located.  You move as fast as you consider yourself to move.  Your location is where you decide it is.  How many times must I explain this?
“What I just did Tim is the most natural thing a spirit does!  What you’re thinking right now—which is ‘that is impossible’— is the most un-natural thing a spirit does!!!”
She smiles weakly.  “I know.  It doesn’t help much to have it explained.   It doesn’t make you any freer.”
“I would like to have that ability!”

Espree looks at me expressionlessly.  “You do.”

There is nothing more arrogant and ignorant, than a civilization of souls that think they're just brains.

As an immortal soul you should know exactly how and when you were created, where you have been and where you are going. 
Unfortunately you probably don't.

INCARCERATION OF THE SPIRIT

I WAS ONCE AN IMMORTAL FREE SPIRIT.
I HAVE BEEN TRAPPED AND SURROUNDED BY
THE CIRCUITRY OF A MECHANICAL MIND,
 DOWNLOADED INTO A BRAIN AND
CONFINED TO BODY ON A PLANET.
ANY SPIRITUAL THOUGHT I HAVE
IS ABSORBED BY THE CIRCUITRY
OF THE MECHANICAL MIND AND
CONVERTED INTO RESTRICTING THOUGHTS.
THESE THOUGHTS CONVINCE ME
I MUST FOLLOW THE RULES.
THEY PERSUADE ME THAT
I HAVE NEVER LIVED BEFORE.
THEY TELL ME I WAS NEVER FREE. 
AS THE HUMANS OF EARTH FALL
INTO PARALYSIS AROUND ME,

I AM ABOUT TO LEARN WHY.

Excerpt from Total Amnesia:
HISTORY LESSON ON DINOSAURS:

“Wow!  This is interesting!” he says, “This has to be one of the more diverse planets in the galaxy.  They have more strange varieties of creatures here than you have in that brain of yours.  You know the famous Zuell and Crock traveling circus?  This is where they bred those dinosaurs some 300 deci-terms ago―right here!  
"The moved them a few hundred deci-terms to a planet with a better environment.  Then they brought in the humanoids."
"And there went the neighborhood!" said Salso. "Big mistake.  So they're moving them out."
"It's about time", says Bisto.
