PSYCHONIX: Mind Over Matter

by Mike Burnette

INNOVATIONS TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY had the phenomenal power to freeze Colonel Steven Scott solid and thaw him back to life in the Amaranth. The impending Near-Death Experience (NDE) wasn't new, but trying to evince and harness the powers of the soul and record its disembodied ventures was. It was uncanny the way the soul was mentally paired with and augmented by PSYCHOLOGICAL BIONICS or PSYCHONIX. The MDSL-1 (Multi-Dimensional Spatial Lattice) micro-scaled processor, within the mechanism, substantially boosted telepathic gifts and uncoupled the mind and matter in such a way that it integrated with the unensouled corpse and bound itself to the immaterial soul. It's technological power was unknown, especially once it was linked to a vast bifurcated neural interweb. Its soul activated components were driven by consciousness, and mediated by the brain and central nervous system. It released the soul unembodied soul and permitted it to be tracked and martialed on command. It's potential for warfare was why the United States Department of Defense contracted its development and why only the most trusted, elite human specimen could use it. A man with Special Operations skills and a dormant, yet prodigious mental gift of his own.Steven Scott’s natural telepathic gifts had blossomed into mental dominance and when linked to a global AGI supported web system, his abilities would be inexplicably prodigious. But first Steven would have to die and have a chip implanted in his brain. It was a close hold operation for security reasons with a tight lid kept on developments and appropriations.Its only limitations were one's imagination or morals. "Believe me, I was engaged. Mike Burnette has done an outstanding job of capturing the mind-body problem arguments accurately and in an interesting, readable way." ~ Dr. J.P. Moreland, Talbot School of Theology “PSYCHONIX is a compulsively readable roller-coaster ride fraught with psychological thrills, unanticipated dips and lurches, and replete with existential truths. This neo-apologetics whirlwind has the making to fascinate you philosophically, psychologically, and nostalgically in equal measures.” ~ Dr. Gary R. Habermas, Liberty University "I'm enthralled. It should be a movie! The mind-body problem may be the leading philosophical issue of all time. Mike Burnette's novel brings it to life with intensity! It's an exciting, accurate, and even nostalgic story." ~ Kevin Harris, Reasonable Faith Podcast Host
