THE EFFECTS OF TEMPORAL LEUCOTOMY ON SUPERNORMAL ABILITIES
Surgical Attempts to Alter Akashic Identity
THE ANCIENT
Acknowledged Master of Mystic and Physical arts, Rhode Island
Prior studies have demonstrated that the majority of extrahuman talents are connected to the affected individual at a level that cannot be explained by purely biological phenomenon. Abilities were shown to remain functional, though often weakened, after gross morphological changes have been inflicted upon a statistically relevant percentage of test subjects. Mystical analysis demonstrated that the experimental subjects maintained unique ethereal records throughout the procedure with full dissolution occurring only moments before termination.
In sixty-four percent of test subjects, there existed a measurable correspondence between the persistence of supernormal capabilities and the moment of akashic detachment. Means of termination were altered throughout the study, and a deeper analysis of the data revealed that the greatest variances were found when brain-death occurred in stages prior to the halting of other autonomic processes (table 1). With these anomalies in mind, further study was put towards the complex links between neural functionality, akashic identity and supernormal abilities.
Measured psychosurgical operations were performed upon the anatomically intact brains of powered test subjects, and the extirpation of sections of the frontal, parietal and occipital lobe showed limited but predictable effect upon retention of akashic identity. Leucotomy upon the temporal lobe, however, produced unexpectedly significant results, and complete temporal lobectomies induced immediate alterations to the subjects’ connection to the akashic field, even when biological functions were maintained for significant periods after procedures were completed.
In layman’s terms, sufficient damage to the temporal lobe re-shaped the body/soul gestalt so fundamentally that external connections were disrupted.
Given that this new evidence supported the theory that the loss of supernormal abilities corresponded with akashic detachment, further investigation was planned to determine if surgical methods could alter akashic identity without otherwise impairing cognitive capability. A focused study on transtemporal incisions followed, with desired regions marked on a grid (fig 1). Test subjects were secured in the standard fashion…
