Solomon's Private File #130
These stories about Stephen and Solomon take place starting in
1950's. Stephen wrote about his life in letters to a penpal, and then
in a secure blog, in case he lost his memory again, in the master
computer in his school for gifted students, which he started attending
in 2016 in a new incarnation, until his death. Now his son Solomon is
attending the same school, and is writing in his own secure blog for
his future incarnations.
All characters are fictitious, even if some of them might have names
that belong to some actual people, or act like people we know.
Solomon is 19 in this story, in the Fall of 2045.
Solomon's Private File #130 "Address to Congress"
START Page
The Congresswoman wasn't nominated for the Supreme Court. We used the
temp office in the Bureau for the meeting. I said, "A shame, even just
for the preliminaries." She grinned and said, "I was actually looking
forward to it." I said, "Think you would still be interested in the
position in about four years?" She looked at me oddly, and then said,
"I see. I'll work on how people see me. Yes, I DO want it, now more
than ever."
I said, "Now for the other thing. Do you want to know now?" She said,
"Yes." I said, "It's going to hurt. Prepared for a shock?" She braced
herself and nodded. I said, "First, my mother and I ask you to do
NOTHING at all about this until we work it out. And NO violence. Got
it?" She said, intrigued, "Yes." I said, "Your husband was innocent.
Not so, your brother." Mom ported in and hugged her while she was
crying. I said, "It's NOT your fault in any way. You were acting in
good faith. You had a bad shrink, and a very clever perp." When she
could, she asked me, "How did you find out?" I said, "From what little
record there was, I was suspicious. And the circumstances of the
suicide seemed a little off, psychologically. I did some time research.
Took a while to find legal evidence, but there is a memory card with
pictures of er, things on your brother's property." She said, "I see.
No legal probable cause." I said, "That's why we'll make some. If you
agree. Brother is an inactive offender. Daughter is an adult with false
memories. There could be reasons not to reopen old wounds." She said,
"I understand. This all?" I said, "How did your husband die?" She said,
"Overdose of sleeping pills and alcohol." I said, "Did you have any of
those pills in your house?" She looked horrified, and said, "No, we
didn't, but my brother did, that fucking bastard!" Mom hugged her some
more and said, "He didn't know or feel a thing." After more crying, she
said, "Thank you. I'm glad to know that."
I said, "My time diving video isn't evidence. We can't even get a DA
to see it. But we CAN get him on illegal porn, that doesn't involve
your daughter. If we go after him with what he did physically, your
daughter's testimony could be practically useless. And she would be
needlessly traumatized." She said, "But to know her father was a GOOD
real, after all these years?" She said, "I see what you mean. I have to
decide. Porn, a definite yes. Can't prove murder, and there was no
suffering, so you can't do a consequence. But my daughter, her
suffering?" I said, "She wasn't always unwilling. It's actually like
that, often. And I really hate to say this, but what there could be
available for a consequence, might not be much of a bad thing from his
point of view." She said, "Nothing you can do?" Mom grinned fiercely,
and said, "His cell mates will have unknown reasons to really dislike
him. And lube will go missing right when they would want to use it."
I said, "There are always ways to arrange the application of just
consequences. I should tell you we can't do it as a punishment or
revenge. That's not who we are. But Karma will not be denied, and we
sometimes act as agents of it. They suffer consequences in this life,
or more in others. We do them a favor in providing it here and now.
Acts as closure to the victims, too." She looked thoughtful and then in
awe, and said, "You are all holy people, aren't you." I said,
"Actually, kind of, yes. All our Adepts are effectively consecrated to
God in a love and healing broadcast when they are able to join one. We
are not able to go against His will, or even seriously consider it. So,
I guess in a way that does make us holy. And he does communicate with
us at times." Mom sad, "To Sol the most, and with advice and
instructions. That's how he got the earthquake prediction ability."
She said, "Wow!" I said, "We say that, too." She said, "I agree to
just the porn and er, prison enhancement." I said, "Might not be legal,
but we serve a higher calling. Need to know the details? But if you are
said, "Agreed. If you need one or both of us for anything, even just to
talk, contact us." Mom said, "Yes. What friends are for." We all hugged
with love.
I created some illegal porn, some with him in it, but not any other
real person, and put it in his computer. I used his computer and email
accounts to send some of them to some usual and unusual places. One of
the mass mailings included the address of his Chief of Police, who
almost literally hit the roof when he saw it. He didn't waste any time
in getting to the er, bottom of it. A search warrant uncovered a lot of
illegal porn that the perp never knew he had, but they didn't find
anything of our friend's daughter. Then something unexpected happened.
The daughter came forward with an accusation. She even implicated the
perp in the death of her father. We encouraged another search, and the
memory card in the garage was found, providing some evidence to back
her up. Perp quickly made a deal, getting what amounts to life in
prison.
We had another meeting with the Congresswoman. She asked, "Did you
cause all that?" I said, "Do you mean, did we cause your daughter to
enter the case?" She said, "Yes." I said, "Often, in these kinds of
situations we are involved in, we strongly suspect there is another
hand in the mix. Too much to be a coincidence. No, we had no contact
with her whatsoever, beyond monitoring the situation." She said,
"Providential?" I said, "Hand of the Boss is very helpful, but a little
annoying at times, with what it causes to our carefully made plans.
That actually amuses On High." She grinned and said, "Wow!" Mom said,
"Absolutely!" We hugged with love.
My first approval was confirmed for the Supreme Court. He asked for a
meeting. He said, "I have to thank you for all your help. I don't know
if our practice made a difference in the outcome of the hearing, but
I'd like to think it did." I said, "I'd like to think it didn't need
to." He nodded in appreciation. He said, "I think I know who one of the
other applicants was. I felt some motivation to step aside just so I
could watch the circus." I said, "I had a similar wish. If she had made
it, oh to have been a fly on the wall in their chambers when she was in
er, action!" He grinned. He said, "Possible?" I said, "Might be an
opening in about four years. Enough time to change their impression of
her." He said, "Same administration?" I said, "Indications support
that. Been some recognized success." He said, "Your doing?" I said, "As
interested. I said, "In a discussion with the Pres, I mentioned a
proposal to help Congress work better. Not a law. Alright for you to
hear it?" He said, "Yes." I told him. He said, "They HAVE to have it!
What a difference it will make!" I said, "Are you related to the
President?" He chuckled, and said, "If they get it, I'll push hard for
us to get it, too. A real time saver!" I said, "For both, and less
excuses for not doing better work." He grinned and said, "Good!" I
said, "In case they might want to decline it, I could tell them I would
offer the same to other countries." He said, "Wow! I hope you do that,
and for real. But here first, would help our image." I said, "We'll see
if they think of it that way. For them, it's numbered bills and
amendments only. For you, it would be the law library, and all past
decisions and opinions, and any other book that's put on the reading
surface." He said, "That's great!" I said, "One more thing you will
like better than they will. For them, there's going to be in insult in
the offer." I told him. His grin almost split his head in half.
The President asked to address a joint session of Congress. When they
asked why, he would only tell them that he would present a special
offer. It was scheduled. Pres of CNN called me, and asked about it. I
said, "Discuss in person?" He said, "In half an hour?" I said, "Sure."
I said to my advisors, "Some in Congress are going to ask me why should
they accept this from somebody they have never actually seen." Hawk
said, "Show them." Mom said, "Right. Blow their sox off." Daren said to
me, "You're doing it again." They laughed, knowing what he meant. Mom
said, "His father did it in both incarnations, asking us about what he
already thought of and decided. We figured out, despite our irritation,
it's best to just go with it. He can't help being a teacher, and
inclusive. Love him for who he is, not who we want. And we do learn
some things we might not realize at the time." We stared at her. She
said to me, "You're not the only one who's matured." We hugged and
kissed with love and tears. I said, "Updated plans. Mom and Uncle are
with me, and will introduce my unveiling. Presence will act to support
their trust in me, as some still think of me as an immature child." Mom
said, "I know the feeling!" Chuckles. We worked on the script.
I ported to the office at CNN. I said, "Going to tell me why you
think I had something to do with that announcement?" He said, "I think
you would know anything you wanted to know about anything, and you've
to be a pest, are you?" He said with a smile, "I have mixed feelings
about that." I said, "In this case, I can tell you something, because I
asked for the joint session address." I cupped my ear, and he gave it
the customary wow. I nodded acknowledgement. We chuckled. I said, "If
you leak it, you might wish for protection for a different kind of
leak." He grinned. I said, "I'm going to offer Congress a system that
will significantly help them in their work. If they accept it. In my
opinion, not excepting could be very interesting, when they try to
explain to America why. Also, there will be insults in the
presentation, and er, me." He said, "You? What do you mean?" I said,
"The real me. An unveiling, so to speak. Rose and Hawk will be with me
in support of that." He said wow again. I said, "Want a preview?" He
said, "By all means!" I dropped my disguise and aura block. He said,
"Really grown up now! Striking, I have to say." I said, "Worse with my
shirt off. Did a martial art forms demonstration at the FBI Academy,
and you could almost cut the projected lust with the swords I used." He
laughed. He said, "May I see?" I said, "Crystal of the incident that
prompted it." I gave it to him, and he read it, and had another wow. He
said, "That wasn't so much for what you did, but for what you said." I
said, "Another crystal with priors. These only work for you, and are
private off the record." He had more wows. He said, "So we really do
have the best." I said, "Maybe. I don't know what you're going to pass
on about the Congress thing ahead of time, but I think you know I'll be
aware of it." He said, "Oh yes!" We grinned.
The President opened the Joint Meeting of Congress with, "Good
evening. I see almost everyone is here. I have asked for this meeting
because Solomon asked me to." There was enough noise generated by that
for him to wait for it to die down. He said, "He has something to offer
you that I think is going to make your work much easier. That in itself
might not have justified this meeting, but having him address all of
you in person, considering what he's said about you in the past, well,
who could pass on that opportunity to hear what could be some very er,
interesting things?" Chuckles. I ported in with Mom and Hawk. He
introduced us. I took the podium and said, "With what the President has
said, I really want to hear what I'll say, too." Louder chuckles.
I said, "There is a kind of bottleneck in both Houses. Bills are
getting bigger and more complicated, and with amendments upon
amendments, and all that printing, and who knows if the various
computer file versions of them match each other? Who has time to read
even a fraction of them, much less understand the arcane legal
language? I propose something that will make things a little easier and
more efficient. How many here have had some educational experiences in
Tibet?" Many of them raised their hands. I said, "Used crystals?" Same
hands. I said, "Then you'll know what I'll be talking about. I offer a
crystal file system. Print up a bill or amendment with an official file
number, put it on the reading surface, and it's in the master crystal
with an index pointing to it. The master crystal will be the only input
station, and it will only read those authorized documents. It will NOT
read a butt print." Laughter." I said, "I see by that reaction that
some of you have experience in that area." Chuckles. I said, "Now, how
to read the documents. Remote reading crystals will be placed on every
desk in both houses, and in offices, and even in the rotunda. All you
have to do is touch one, and see the index in your mind and select what
you want to read, and it will be in your mind instantly. Now there are
some limitations. You won't be able to forget any of it, as some of you
here already know. You might not want to look at more than you really
need to know. And stuffing your brain with these things too much too
fast could temporarily injure you, make you more confused and inactive.
Er, if that's possible." Laughter, some louder than others. I said, "So
there is a safety feature, just like there is in Tibet. It won't work
for you if you would be harmed by it."
I said, "How much, and how fast and often you can take it, depends on
your degree of intelligence and mental skills. Some will be able to use
the crystal more than others. Contrary to popular belief, there is
nobody here who won't be able to use it. Oh, is that a sigh of relief?"
Chuckles. I said, "Were you expecting more er, interesting negative
comments? I see you were. Well, think up some yourselves, and laugh
quietly." They did laugh quietly. I said, "Oh, what I wouldn't give to
know what you were thinking!" Chuckles. I said, "This system is
perfectly safe. It's use for years in Tibet should have sufficiently
demonstrated that by now. And use of it is entirely voluntary. This
doesn't and shouldn't replace any other system currently in use. It's
only an extra help. And it's very limited in what it will take and
present. No vacation pictures. Sorry. I KNOW some are very relieved at
that." Laughter. I said, "When it is installed, it will be up to date
at that instant. It would be impossible to fill it up with past bills
one at a time."
I said, "Now for questions. Here's the procedure for that. Raise
hand, I'll choose by name. You will be lit up, and your voice will fill
the room. Jokes will be judged critically." Chuckles. One said, "How
will it be indexed?" I said, "It will be indexed in every way I can
think of. By reference number, sponsors, title, subject, date,
keywords, number of amendments, even word and letter count. There will
also be a hyperlinked dictionary, and automatic language translation.
Some of you have seen and used such things in Tibet. Hmm, I suspect
some more who haven't been there, are now considering it." Some nods.
One asked, "Can entries be erased?" I said, "There is no function to
erase entries, but they can be annotated as superseded, including
indications of passage, which will be entered in the index
automatically. Remember, it will take official documents only, the kind
that would be in the Congressional record. Hey, be grateful it doesn't
record your committee meetings." Chuckles.
One said, "Can it be broken?" I said, "The Master crystal can't be
damaged in any way. In fact, it can't even be moved except by me or one
of my people." One said, "When can it be available?" I said, "Before I
say when it can be available, I must remind you that the reading of the
contents is entirely voluntary, and it doesn't replace anything now
being used. When? When decided, practically instantly. I was going to
suggest you discuss this offer among yourselves, but somebody's already
doing it." Chuckles. I said, "Oh, one more thing. You know I'm fair,
right? So this offer is going to be made to other countries, too, if
their system permits it. Want to be first? Consider fast. Locations of
reading crystals can be added and changed. No, they won't be in
different colors." One said, "What will they be made of?" I said, "The
crystals will be made of an artificial gem material my father invented
with some excitement. Well, some of his experiments kind of exploded.
These are VERY stable, and we use this kind more than others,
ourselves."
One said, "How can we trust you?" I said with a grin, "How can you
trust me? Much better than you trust each other." A mix of good
laughter. One said, "But we don't even know what you look like." I said
to Hawk, "Hawk, your face splitting grin needs an explanation." He came
to the podium and said, "When he told us about this event, he said
somebody would link trust to seeing the real Sol." I said, "I want a
show of hands. Who wants this system here?" One yelled, "Wait! Make it
contingent on him showing us who he is!" There was obvious agreement.
Mom came to the podium and said, "Sol predicted that, too." I said,
"You vote, and I will. In favor?" Almost unanimous. I said, "It's in
place, but not turned on until after the er, personal showing. Ready
for that?" Assenting noises, and then dead quiet. I said, "Nobody drop
a pin." Chuckles. Mom said, "Be prepared to see his aura. He won't be
using a disguise, so it will be visible to everybody." I said, "To make
this easier and fair to all, I'll make myself more er, available. There
will be larger images to the side of me, for better visibility." I
floated up into the air, and down to in front of the podium, hovering,
and dropped all disguise. There were gasps. Mostly because of the
sudden appearance of my gigantic aura.
After a while, one asked, "Are all auras that large?" I said, "I'll
project images of this room on both side walls, which shows the auras
of people. Then you can judge that for yourself." More wows. I said,
"If you want to know about the colors and other things about auras,
check the internet." Mom said, "His is bigger than his father's, and as
far as we know, the largest ever in existence." Hawk said, "I don't
know if you understand the significance of this. We human beings on
THIS planet, Earth, have as one of US, the most intelligent, most
powerful, most advanced living being in this galaxy, and in thousands
of other galaxies in different dimensions." There were some stunned
faces, when that sunk in, and some wows. One asked, "Is there some
significance to the color of your eyes?" I said, "Yes, there is some
significance to the color of my eyes, but as it relates to history.
Here is a man of the past who had eyes of the same color." He said,
"Who is it?" I said, "The image is of first Solomon. Yes, that was one
of my past lives, and before you ask, NO, that baby wasn't mine!"
Laughter.
I said, "Yes, it actually happened. Strange fight, but won by a split
decision!" More laughter. I said, "The crystal file system is working
now." Some tried it right away, and had some loud but good comments
about it. Then almost all did, and agreed. I stopped the side extra
images. Still hanging in the air, I said, "My address to you is now
coming to an and. You have felt our love in the world broadcasts. Now I
offer you my personal love and blessing. Is it accepted?" It was,
loudly. I glowed, and spread my arms, and projected my Ki enhanced love
to all in the room, including in it desires for good ethics,
dedication, and cooperation. I said, "I give you my blessing, and may
God give you his blessing, too." Dad joined me, and did just that. Then
Mom, Hawk, and I, ported home. The President closed the meeting, but
not many paid attention to that.
Hawk said, "You finally got to blast Congress with enhanced love like
your father did in China." I said, "So you noticed the real reason for
the crystal file system offer." Mom said, "Oops!" We chuckled, and
hugged and kissed with love, with Galya trying not to laugh more.
My Congressional address was big news worldwide. The comments were
interesting, and so were the complaints about the comments, from both
sides. Those sides being about the crystal file system, and my true
looks exposure. I said to my family, "That's one of the reasons why I
did them together, to fight for undivided public attention, and lose."
They looked at me strangely. Mom said, "I doubt that any of us would
have thought of that." I said, "I disagree. You discount what necessity
and responsibility does in motivating creative thinking." Hawk said,
"If anybody would know that, you would. Not something we can test well
in practice, though. I know that look!" Chuckles. I said, "An
interesting project. I'll work on it."
Galya said, "Some governments are already asking for it." I said,
"Going to make this announcement. 'The crystal file system will be
available to other national governments that have a good and reliable
file registration and tracking system already in place for all proposed
legislation, including modifications of it, amendments, and indication
of final disposition. I will make that judgement for requests, starting
in a year, to allow governments that don't meet that standard, to work
to qualify. I chose America first for this because I was already
familiar with their system, and I knew it would be compatible, and not
just because I could give them some interesting extra comments,
although that did provide some personal motivation.'" Grins. I said,
"That gives me a year of less poking from them, and they get to see it
in use themselves, and that it didn't make those in Congress any less
