So, out of curiosity, I'm pondering just what the true nature of these 5th-dimensional beings is. Here's a few things I've been thinking about.

1) If the Contemelia created the prime universe, what created them? Did they originate, perhaps, from another universe, seeded into existence by a predecessor species of equally neutral beings? Is there an infinite cycle of creation in which intelligent beings spawn universes as science experiments?

2) Why are the Contemelia neutral? What is the origin of their ethic of noninterference? Do all sufficiently advanced intelligent beings come to respect the processes of causality enough to not interact with the on-goings of daily life in their universes? And, seeing as they seeded life into their infant universe using the Slimebiotes, do the Contemelia feel a sort of ethical duty to spread life across the universe?

3) Why do the Contemelia appear as that which holds the most "sway" over the hearts of their viewers? Because the Contemelia are extra-dimensional, they don't necessarily do this on purpose, as they would surely encounter species which don't have things that hold "sway" over them. It must have something to do with the psychological effects of their 5D forms; perhaps that dimensional energy affects the minds of sentient beings in a way that stimulates visions of what they desire or love. But why not hate? Why not something they despise or simply don't understand? Why is it only things that are nice?

Now I see the universe for what it is: We are all dust, bound by one enormous, universal force. No, not universal, not even multiversal, this omniversal force continues forever, in every direction through every reality. My lust for power, my jealousy of Azmuth, it isn't just evil, ultimately; it's pointless. I could never truly destroy you. You would only have not been not unexistent in what could have not now been the past, present, and partial future. To tear down and destroy is of no consequence or quality; to create is divine. - Ultimate Albedo
