謹以此書迴向給所有以「文學」來「繼善述志」的人
三十九名「天門教派」成員在美國加州聖地牙哥郊區集體自殺的故事在二十五年後重新引起了公眾的注意。
那天是一九九七年三月二十六日,海爾鮑普彗星在通過夜空之際,將派遣一架太空船承載那些願意離開地球到一個比較好的地方去,但是搭承太空船的成員必須先行將人身軀殼「中性化」,以提升精神品質到另一個層階,而且集體離開人身的鉅大氣場得與海爾鮑普彗星所發出的電磁波相感應。召集人計算了出來,這個跟外星人通訊的氣場,必須是「四十個人」的魂識所散發出來的一個宇宙之間的特殊訊號。
「天門教派」成員對召集人所推算出來的「四十個人」集體魂識能夠突破時空侷限深信不疑,對魂識能夠感應海爾鮑普彗星太空船的連接「物質世界」與「意識世界」功能也深信不疑,因為魂識進入了「量子感應(quantum communication)」,「意識」自然就超越光速,而且產生「虛數(imaginary numbers)」,可以在「實數(real numbers)」的空間裏被運算,「物質世界」與「意識世界」在沒有速度的限制下乃層疊了起來。
可歎的是我做為最後一位被「中性化」的「天門教派」成員,因為懼怕生命的遽然銷亡而潛逃了出來,徒留三十九具「中性化」的人身驅殼遺憾「四十個人」的魂識所散發的宇宙訊號終究不能具體成形,於是二十五年前的疑案至今仍舊懸疑,但是那個集體自殺的遺址已被銷毀,連路名都被更改了......
