I'm late to the party. Hope you saved some cupcakes.
Trev has lived all his young life within the Sikh community, sheltered from the harsher realities of the dying world, with the hope of a more joyful existence hereafter. But now decades of projected survival for humanity have become a handful of years, and there is only one way to escape extinction. How can Trev embrace a new life without estranging his devoted family?

Have you heard of the 40k gods? And celestia?
He has a point but for how long exactly and just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Plus what about everyone else in equestria like say thesrals or creatures too, hmm what about them?
Okay since you won’t I will, look celestia you may have a point but here’s the thing if that is so true that it doesn’t than tell me, what about Chernobyl, huh? Because that place was once a forest before it became a nuclear power plant and town, but after the accident than what happen, oh yeah the forest and nature came back growing over everything trees sprouting where there were no trees before green and animals coming back to reclaim what was once there so tell me what do you call that hmm because it seem to me like it did resist it own destruction and took back over.
And celestia that is not true we may not have the same souls as ponies or whatever but we are also intelligent beings with feelings and all, sure we done some pretty mess up things but we move pass that and made sure to never let it happen again. Just because the planet didn’t do anything to harm its own life forms, although it tried to and some of its own life forms did try and successful in doing so, we persevered, we didn’t let all the bad consume us all, sometimes we do things that we have no other choice to do or have to do it to survive in situations that I doubt few or any could in your ponies could do so without being able to at least have that spirit/behavior in them?
And celestia it’s not waiting for it to save itself and it’s lifeforms, it’s waiting for those to make the right choices in life to make a chance for the better.

The key word is benevolent.
Also, Celestia is as benevolent as circumstances allow her to be. She is also extremely binary in her thinking. Everything is yes or no--there is little room for maybes in her reasoning.
That's what Luna is for.

Trev is desperately trying to save his parents. And of course the less pleasant aspects of Equestria wouldn't be included in the travel brochure.

Celestia is telling the truth as she knows it. Because the thaumatic energy, the magic, that permeates Equestria and all other known planes of existence is totally absent in the universe occupied by Earth, it is only logical to conclude that Earth is a world devoid of magic. No magic means no spiritual essence, which means no souls.
Acharjeet proposes that there is a spiritual essence that is so alien to the denizens of Equestria that they cannot detect it at all.
Radio waves exist, but without a radio you can't hear them even though they fill the air around us. You can't pick up an FM station on an AM radio, and vice versa.
So maybe Equestria runs on FM and maybe Earth runs on AM. Maybe the dissonant frequencies are completely incompatible.
I am not trying to rewrite my sister's work in any way; she has built a phenomenal alternate world and is gracious enough to let me play in it. I'm just proposing maybes and could-bes here.

Wait a sec, your sister is the one or related to the one who originally wrote the first fic in this?
Dam my friend.
And that’s true, but I do wonder if maybe discord can perhaps detect it, since he has chaos magic and the same for the evergreen forest maybe discord can possibly detect it since it might seem a bit different to chaos magic but still similar enough to recognize it?
This is an interesting take. I don't think anyone has done anything quite
like this before. Cool!
The Sikhs are interesting, as religious groups go. I have always heard positive things, overall, about their ethicality.
Of course, humans gonna human, but still...
You absolutely can hear a color, taste a song, or feel a beam of light. A complicated (and mostly bad) experience with LSD in collage showed that too me by granting me - temporarily - synesthesia. That was one of the very few positive moments from that otherwise horrifying trip.
I grieve that I am not one of the people who naturally, without drugs, experience synesthesia. It is wonderful, and useful - especially for artists.
But my point is that the argument made is invalid. The brain constantly generates reality, and we all live not in the 'real world', but in a waking dream state that is generated by our brains processing sensory input. We don't truly 'see' color, our brains manufacture it, which is why we can 'see' impossible colors like heliotrope, and hot pink - neither of which actually exist. There is no light of those colors at all. Violet is on the spectrum, but there is no heliotrope. My favorite color is the brain trying to cope with seeing red and blue at the same time from the same source. It doesn't compute, so it generates a virtual color that does not exist - save for in our personal qualia.
Which is why we can be fooled and deceived by our brains. We can see and experience things that are not there. Like music floating through a room. Or gods and souls.
"Easy, Seabiscuit." - Oh, that is SO Pastern! Well done!
Thank you for writing this story - I have already placed it in the TCB group. Nicely done, and well done with the issues in play.
Full disclosure: I wrote my own Bureau stories from the point of Absolute Raging Atheist because it fit the needs of the narrative. It is ideal to have Mundus be a cosmos utterly devoid of magic or souls because that creates the maximum contrast between Equestria and Earth's universe. It maximizes dramatic tension and produces clear stakes. It also adds to my hard-SF take on things.
But, that said, personally, I would have to say that I am more of an agnostic with some mystical leanings because I Have Seen Shit that I cannot explain. It would be easy to brush it off as brain lies and brain fictions, except that in most cases I was not alone, and the people I was with experienced it too. That could be Folie à deux, of course, and I keep that in mind. Still, I cannot entirely exclude the possibility that There Is More - even if I have no clue what that More is, represents, or how it functions.
I have some questions, but no answers. Which is, I think, for the best - answers tend to narrow the mind on such issues.
