Free Book Idea

[Hautex]

   Since I have achieved the attention span of a Frisbee, I will never be a writer or even attempt to be, but this story idea has gnawed at me for a decade. It's free to anyone who wants to run with it as long as I get an autographed copy of a 1st edition...
    What if the origional life force that powers our souls is finite? Population growth has caused the individuals life force power to be thinned so everyone can have at least a partial soul. This has weakened humanities character, life span (compared to the multi-century lives the bible told us of), and determination.
    Now say, there has been a historical battle between good and evil that involves generational challenges that requires very strong souled individuals to lead. The only way to create these "pure souls" is to combine many souls at the moment of death so the created future leader would reach maturity in time for the great battle? It could explain the mysterious disappearances of cultures all over the world, both the good and bad ones, since both sides need a leader.
    The side of "good" requires that the chosen go into this voluntarily, eyes open, fully conscious of what they face. The evil side requires 10 times the people because of their spiritual weaknesses, and can be lied to, tricked, and addicted to drugs to keep them close so all can die at the same time, in the same place.
     Told you I am not a writer..... This would require a ton of research to relate the mass disappearances to major challenges to civilizations existence. The Anasazi, Mayan, Indus Valley, Gobekli Tepe, Angkor, Heavens Gate, Branch Dividians, etc.  Major world events: World wars, Nazi attempt to completely destroy the Jews, civil rights battles, The civil war.... etc.
     Was the necessary strength of legendary leaders constructed of the souls of many, same minded people? How were these soul "joinings" achieved? SciFi series? Movie? or very long book? Ok, idea has been put out there and I can hopefully let it go... Peace

I am an incarcerated puppet! I have nothing but time.   Problem is that the shithead who designed my hands has made it physically impossible to type, write, or even draw on paper. It's all I can do to feed myself. I won't even go in to the bathroom issues.. #2's for me are a life long nightmare.

Best of luck to you

Interesting. I'd suggest posting this at reddit and see what they can do with it. They have several subreddits for writers.
