Stephen's Secure Blog #448
These stories about Stephen began was when he was 10 years old, and
moving to a new part of the country to attend a special school for
gifted students, in the 1950's. This was from a time before computers
would fit on a desk, and when people communicated with friends in other
countries by actual letters sent through the postal service. He wrote
225 of them to a friend. He stopped writing to his penpal, but found he
still wanted to record his life, in case he lost his memory again, and
wrote 30 entries in his first logbook. Then he wrote to an artificial
intelligence called Geenee, in the master computer in his school for
gifted students, which he started attending in 2016. Now it's after
2018, and he's continuing to save his memories in a secure blog.
All characters are fictitious, even if some of them might have names
that belong to some actual people, or act like people we know.
The stories may not be posted in chronological order.
Stephen is 32 in this story, in Summer of year 22 of his special school.

The Al Jazeera show drew a lot of favorable responses from all over,
even from factions and people who usually disagreed with me. Chad said,
"I don't understand it. They liked what you said. Maybe they have
hearing problems." I poked him. He had to laugh. Hawk said "It IS
unusual. They praised your parenthood, your desire for religions to get
along, your connection to God, and your wisdom. Not one thing they
opposed. Well, we all have our off days." He got poked.
Rose and I ported to our house on Zichesshich. Zander ported to the
meeting. I said "Two Earth months, and I'm gone. What do we tell the
students, and when, and how?" He said "You've given me much easier
questions." I said "Could be more difficult. We need to transfer my
credits to Rose. Maybe we'll do that on Posintan. He said "Yes. They
are more efficient there. I will tell the students about your er, exit,
soon. And that they are not to disturb you and your family. I request
that Hawk be involved with that." I said "Good idea. He agrees. He just
thanked me for telling him that he agrees." Zander laughed. I said
"There may be some unusual happenings associated with my departure. I
don't know yet what they will be, but I'm hoping for at least something
noticeable, galaxy wide. If you see this symbol appear anywhere off of
Earth, you will know I'm gone. One more thing. Harditch will want to
screw my brains out for one last time before I go." He laughed, and
Rose poked me. I said to her, "Do you think I'm wrong?" She poked me
again. I said to Zander, "If I survive the telling you of this next
might send me over before I'm ready, so, no. You might consider telling
her that by contact from a safe distance." They both laughed. I said to
him, "I will be available to you up to the day of the event." We hugged
with love, and he ported away.
Rose and I ported to the PA of the Confederation, by appointment. He
said "Wow!" I said "We hear that a lot." He was too awed to laugh. He
said "Is that what an aura looks like?" I said "Mine, yes.
Embarrassing, but everybody can see it now, and I can't stop it. We are
here for two reasons. The first is financial. We need to transfer my
credit to Rose, and the lease of the land my house is on." He said "We
can arrange that. It will only take a few minutes. Would you tell me
the reason?" I said "Because I'm going to die soon." He looked shocked,
and then he actually cried. We hugged him with love. I said "It has to
be. My time is ended. My tasks have been completed, and the pull to my
next existence will take me in my next love broadcast. I've known of
this for years. It's a promotion, actually. You might feel my love when
the healing starts in the love broadcasts." He said "Wow!" We grinned,
and he had to smile. He sent for an aid, who made the arrangements in a
few minutes, and came back and gave her an identity and credit card. We
thanked them, and hugged them with love.
We ported to my house on Misnok, and invited Angrala and Wantune to
visit. We told them the news, and they tried to take it well, but
couldn't, completely. We spent some time in discussing our past
adventures, before they left. We ported to Sanamhee's home and school
on Nagindra when he was there with no classes, and told him the news.
He took it well, but we could feel the waves of sadness and loss
emanating from him. I said "When you see this symbol appear on my light
cubes, you will know I'm gone." We did some more hugging, and ported
home.
We ported to the leader of the Guardians on Posintan, and told her
the news. She said "I'm not surprised. Your aura is SO big." Rose
grinned, and said, "And everybody can see it now, severely embarrassing
him." They grinned at each other. I growled. They laughed. I said "We
need to transfer my credits to Rose." I said to Rose, "Should Sol have
some, too?" Rose said "I gave him some of mine, with the other
students, before their competitions, to start their accounts, but it
wouldn't hurt to give him more. And I can give him more than that,
later, if he needs it. The Van ships are still selling." She had a
terminal in her home, and we did the transfers. I said "You will tell
your government?" She said "I will. They will have to tell the people."
I said "Please tell them not to be sad. It's a promotion for me. They
might be able to sense my love in the broadcasts, when the healing
starts." She said "Wow!" Rose said "We've been hearing that a lot when
he says that." She said "I'm not surprised!" I said "When this Symbol
appears on the top surface of my light cube, you will know I am gone. I
think. I can't be sure exactly what will happen." She said "Knowing
you, it's going to be something unusual." Rose and I grinned, and said,
"We hope!" We hugged with love, and ported home.
I had a meeting with the Abbots of the major Temples and Monasteries
in Tibet, and the government ministers. Tomba, Srinoy, and Eli were
there. I said "The next love broadcast here is my last. My last day,
actually. With the new Dalai Lama recognized, and the country
financially independent, my task is completed. I'm er, being promoted.
Don't except me to leave you alone, though. I'll be watching, and I
might poke you at times to see of you're awake." Eli said "That will do
it!"
I said "CNN will be here, and with lenses that can see auras, so they
will know when I'm gone. Chad will be with me. He's a medical Doctor,
and will declare me dead, and sign the death certificate. Rhamcha
should sign it as well. Then my body will be burned to ash, which will
be removed by Rose, and there will be this symbol on the road where I
was. It might also be in a lot of other places, too. I don't know how
much I can do in that fraction of a second. I should warn you that the
love broadcast is going to be extra powerful this time. As much as I
can make it. I don't know what the full effect will be, but those who
can, and who will be needed to deal with my death, might want to be
ready to shield themselves from it. Those who can do that, don't need
what I'll be giving. Please let CNN have full access, so there is a
clear record of the event. I do NOT want people thinking I'm still
alive after I'm not." Srinoy said, "But some will." I said "I know, but
we sure don't have to help them with that." He said with a smile,
"True." I said "Please tell people not to be sad. This is not a bad
thing. In fact, I will have even more power to support the people of
Tibet. Not that they should depend on it. I know what some of you are
thinking. Sorry. I should avoid doing too much of the physical, or I
could leave this life a little early, and in the most undignified
situation." Some laughter. I said "Please keep this out of the news as
much as possible. Thank you." We hugged a lot.
I went to all the the other religious leaders I had dealt with, to
tell them what would be happening. There were a lot of tears. I told
them that Rose would be carrying on my work, and would be defending
what she considers my legacy. They might want to be careful about that.
She can be a little forceful. They responded with caution. I invited
them, and Paolo, to be at the event. They accepted. Then I visited with
the President of China. He cried, too. Then I visited the bosses in the
Justice Department, and told them what would be happening, and that
they should be ready in case there might be some disturbances, but that
all the active things, such as the interdictions, would still be in
operation until they were deliberately turned off. They thanked me, and
with some tears, too.
Rose and I had a meeting with Kam and Sol. I said "I've given you the
information, math and plans, that are above the intelligence level of
most of us. It will be up to you to share that with others, when they
are able and need to have it. You know about everything I've made, and
the controls for the interdiction. When I go, we expect those things to
be tested." They practiced their evil grins. We had to laugh. I said
"You both are able to interface directly with computers. But some of
our main computer is hidden from you. Ha! Your old dad can still do
it!" They laughed. I said "I've been keeping a blog from my past life,
to this one. It will be in a crystal, in my special storage place.
Tomba can give you things from that, and other things. Please trust his
wisdom in that. The blog and the crystal will be updated to the last
second I can do it in this life. Who knows, maybe even after that.
Something we should discuss now. I've had contacts with spirits waiting
to reincarnate. If I go there first, you here will be the second to
possible I will go directly to the management er, office. You will know
that happened if I don't contact you, or if I do and tell you that. I
just don't know. I've had a lot of contacts from the managers. I don't
know if you will, and if so, that's a good thing. But you should always
know that I'm watching, and when you're laughing, I'm laughing with
you." Kam said "And when we're crying?" I said "Don't do that." They
giggled. I said "Anyway, that's what sleeves are for." They laughed,
mostly at me, because they've heard that a LOT of times.
I said "Kam, you're Srinoy's boss now. Have fun playing with him."
She giggled. I said "Sol, I don't think you will be excluded. Ichi has
been managing off Earth things well. It's mostly boring, so I recommend
you er, help him to keep doing it." They laughed. I said "But, being
the most advanced after I go, that makes you the boss when a real boss
is needed. The best kind of boss we can have, is one who bosses the
least." He nodded. I said "Making people laugh with you, doesn't hurt
that at all. Unless Hawk falls on you." They laughed hard. So did Rose.
I said "Keep up your education. We can never know enough, or too much.
Teach when you can. It's rewarding, and you can learn some things that
way, that you can't learn any other way, and all that can help make you
a real boss who doesn't need to do much actual bossing. Please try to
follow Pete's advice on your education and interning. Care for your
mother and Hawk after I'm gone. Don't let them have a chance to be
lonely. And when she starts to have children again, I hope you can help
them to grow up to be as good as you are." That caused some tears. we
all hugged and kissed with love.
