Oscar's First Grand Cycle

Following Geraldine's great idea I've started asking about my past Grand Cycles. I've had 8, and this is number 1.

 

[Oscar] Hello Michael =) As you've done with Geraldine, I'd like to know about my first Grand Cycle as a Server. Could you please describe the species, life cycle, planet, details on its evolution as a sentient species, notable traits, things learned as its role, etc. I'd like to use the time for both questions for this.

From what we can see, your Essence's first Grand Cycle was interested in exploring Sentience from the broadest of contexts possible, and aimed for a planetary system that was, itself, the Sentience, with each planetary body being a fragment. In this case, your Essence was one [of] the binary Suns, with the Essence Twin being the other. This wave of Sentience organized itself as a galaxy, so that all fragments could be a part of a planetary system, each being organized in various ways that reflect Cadences, Entities, and Support Groups.

 

The life cycle of a planet or star was the entire incarnation, so there was "only" one lifetime, if you will.

 

The lifeforms and colonization of the planets, along with their interplanetary exchanges and travels contributed to the dynamic of relationships necessary for evolution.

 

For the most part, stars at the center of a planetary system were Servers and/or Priests, and those planets with the most lifeforms were those of Sages and Artisans, and Moons were of Scholars, with the largest planets or belts that helped protect the system from asteroids and meteors or other debris were the Kings and Warriors, with "belts" usually being the Warriors, and the large planets being Kings.

 

Although there was what would be perceived by you as one incarnation, there are stages of planetary and star growths that marked what would be the Soul Ages.

 

Having such stationary positions within systems such as this is a rather unique position, but having a multitude of species, both sentient and non-sentient, created from or dependent upon every element generated by that system allowed for rather unlimited perspectives in growth.

 

This is where concepts such as "Gaia" have come [from].

Okay, so I wonder how far back into our Universe's past did this Sentient Galaxy exist, how long after the Big Bang? Have there ever been other Sentient Galaxies afterwards?

How about now? This feels like the most fantastical and magical thing ever.

 

I also wonder what kind of Star was this Grand Cycle lived as. Intuitively, I'm leaning towards thinking of it being as a larger type of star that can last for just millions of years instead of billions as otherwise that Grand Cycle would last so long that one would not be able to explore as many other Designs as a Spark/Еssence. Red dwarves, for example, are believed to be able to last for trillions of years.

 

I'm curious about the relationship these celestial bodies had with the other Sentient and non-Sentient Species on the planets. Would they pick ''favourites'' to root for and follow their evolution, discuss them and ''fight'' among each other similarly to how humans love to gather and root for sports teams, lol? How many of the lifeforms on the planets were aware of the Sentience of their galaxy? And among those aware of this, were methods of communication created that could make comprehensive, understandable communication between the lifeforms and the celestial bodies possible? And so on.

 

This would be a great source of sci-fi/fantasy material.
