Solomon's Private File #193
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 23 in this story, in the Fall of 2049.
Solomon's Private File #193 "Stone"
START Page
My stone said to me, "Solomon. We have a problem for which we ask
your help." I said, "Sure. Made a good start. Details would help." He
said, "One of our more advanced er, stones has become missing. It was
traveling, switching dimensions, to aid a ship of Originators." I said,
"You said 'it.' Alright of I think 'he'?" He said with some concerned
humor, "You save him, you can call him anything you want to." I said,
"Unneeded incentive, but interesting nonetheless. Found him. He's
caught in a kind of energy trap." I gave him the information. He said,
"I am unable to understand most of that. May we discuss this with my
larger associate?" I said, "Sure. Better to do it where he is. Point?"
He did, and I shifted there. A very strange dimension. I said, "Nice
colors." We consulted.
The big stone said, "I am not able to understand some of that. Do you
think it is because I am unable to perceive of some of what you
report?" I said, "Probably. If he was going to help a ship, well, I
don't see it around." He said, "Then I am not blind to that. Good to
know. Here's what we know." He sent that. I said, "Oh! That's a tough
dimension to get to. Best route is through these dimensions, or it's
too easy to get into a dimension where you might not be able to leave,
the natural laws being so er, screwed up." He said with interest, "How
Chuckles. I said, "I have some automatic processes going on to catalog
dimensions. I started that as soon as I was able to see into them. I
needed to know which would be too dangerous to port to, such as not
being able to return from." He said, "Could you give us that catalog?"
I said, "Embarrassing. It won't er, fit in you. If you eat it, ah,
can you er, inflate to hold it?" They laughed their way. He said, "On
my own, I cannot accept it, but if you feed me enough energy with it, I
can. I see that thought. I don't need to be concerned about clothes
fitting correctly." I said, "Serious issue. It will change you. You
will gain in mind and intelligence. Do I have the right to do that to
you?" There was a touch. I said, "Er, seems I do." Awed chuckles. I
said, "When you're ready." I made an energy connection, and showed him
how to manage and convert it to his needs. He was very surprised that I
knew about all his life processes. I helped him to rebuild himself in a
way that didn't cause any problems, and that could handle the database.
Then I gave it to him.
While he was digesting that, I said to my stone, "He needed the
upgrade not just to contain the database, but to manage it." He said,
"I suspected that. I think that of all of us, only he would want that
in his mind." I said, "Do I detect a little friction over personal
differences in your group?" He said, "Don't do that." We laughed. The
big stone, then much bigger, said, "I had not realized how large and
complicated this database would be. You have my admiration for its
organization and thoroughness. I am surprised that my perceptive
abilities have increased. I see that you expected it." I said, "Am I
something of a king maker now?" My stone said, "Yes." I said, "Er,
oops?" Laughter. I said to the big one, "I must tell you that in aiding
you, I acquired all your knowledge." He said, "I suspected that. It is
not a problem. But, where do you put all this information? Your brain
has not become larger?" I said, "Organic DNA brains use a combination
of storage methods, hierarchal holographic, being one of them. With our
extension into the spirit realm, Adepts can use that for unlimited
memory storage. It's an automatic thing, not something we need to
manage directly, although we can if we want to. For my group of Senior
Adepts, part of that comes from our basic memory management training
and multiple parallel processes. No, you are not able to do what we do,
with the extended memory storage, but it might be possible for you to
do something similar, and even better. I didn't know you were able to
experience the feeling of hunger, and so intensely!" Laughter.
I said, "I have a partition working on it now. I'll let you know if I
can make something work. I think I can pull your trapped comrade out,
but he'll need a healing, after. Your will?" He said, "Please. To
here?" I said, "Sure." I made some inter-dimensional controls. Not 4th
this time, but 5th and 6th. I had used the 5th before in a
demonstration for Rang, but this time I was doing some very complicated
things with that. I pulled him out, and shifted him to the place were
we were. I healed him. He thanked us. I asked him to tell us all about
it. He did.
I isolated part of my mind, and used that to ask for a personal God
contact. I said, "They're all dead! I can bring the ship in, or
recreate it as it was, including the people. YOUR servants, doing YOUR
work! If I do that, will you stuff their spirits back into their
bodies?" He said, "What you ask is very unusual, not in the basic part
of it, but in the process and motivation. I have never done this
before. You do not oppose death. Your reasons are of responsibility and
duty. In this case I will do as you request, but don't expect a repeat
of this." I grinned, and he said, "Younger Brother, you amuse me more
than I should allow." I laughed inside, and He joined me in that, with
love.
I made a new ship and crew bodies from a time dive scan, and shifted
the drive stone into place in the new ship. I said to him, "You may
remember something of what happened. In exchange for your life, do you
agree to that memory being restricted so you can't communicate it?" He
said, "Yes, Solomon, I do. Thank you for all you do for us." I said,
"You're welcome. Your crew are waking up now. I have placed your ship
at your proper destination. Here is the error that caused the
difficulty, and here is a better path to use in the return in both
directions. I'm closing contact now."
I said to my stone friends, "Ship is rescued, healing done, and the
drive stone is instructed in the better path. Now to the other matter.
Oh, alright." They said their wows and thanks. I said, "You know that
you are fully created beings, not beings that have evolved." The big
stone said, "True. And you understand all of who we are. Am I correct
that you can actually create one of us?" I said, "I don't know, but my
plan is to do for you, what people like me do to store and manipulate a
lot of information. A computer, but one built of what you are made of.
Something I don't know, is what should be in it. Do you want all known
to all, or just separate accounts, or a combination?" He said,
"Combination. For us, accessing more information than we can handle can
actually harm us." I said, "Oh. Ha! Indigestion." He said with humor,
"Something like that."
I said, "Where shall I put it?" He told me, and there it was. A
planet size gem-like thing that looked a lot like the big stone. I
said, "It has a kind of Artificial Intelligence, like one of your
computers does. Here's how the communication interface works. Here's
how to set up an account, and here's how to use the common database.
Here is the navigation center. It has my database, which will be added
to as I have more, automatically. You tell it where you want to go, and
if it knows, it tells you the best way to get there." I said privately
to the big stone, "I've placed the codes in your mind in a special
partition that can't be read by anybody else but the Big Boss and me,
for you to manage the er, thing. Have fun with your new toy." They
thanked me a lot.
Then the big one explored the instructions in the machine, and
practically yelled in my mind, "You put a travel system in it!" I said,
"You don't need to shout. I already knew that. You guys have a hard
time moving around, so I thought I would help a little with it. For
personal travel, if it can, it will place you there. No, it's not
exactly porting, but similar. Oh, and it won't do it if it knows it
would harm you. You know, it would have been much easier for you if you
had some legs of your own. But, while we're at it, sexual organs would
have been very er, popular among you." Awe and laughter.
I said farewell to the big stone, and shifted home. My stone said, "I
don't know how you do it, but I am with you, each of you, when you use
multiple presences." I said, "I know that. Frustration, too. Hmm, you
can't actually growl, you know." Chuckles. He said, "I have established
my account. You have put in it, sexual experiences! Oh, that's not
nice." I grinned and said, "I will NOT support sex addiction." He said,
"Don't be wise when I want something!" We laughed. I said, "It's not
really for the bonded. You don't need it. Real life is better." He
said, "I have to agree. A little. I see the warning. I agree. Our
bonded people should not know of any of this." I said, "Right. You
wouldn't want them to think they should have less sex." He said, "I
think that is highly unlikely!" Chuckles.
Daren said to me, "Very confusing. You were here, but you were also
someplace we couldn't reach. And our stones jumped again." I said, "I
healed one again." He said, "It's more than that. They're still
jumping." I said, "Really want to know?" Rude noise. I said, "If you
have to know, and I expect they're not depressed about this in any way,
I gave out some er, sexual memories." He had to laugh well. I said,
"They might be sharing er, comments on the subject." More laughter. I
said, "One more thing. When I do the multiple thing not on Earth, you
won't be able to monitor unless I set it up. Sometimes my doing that
could interfere with what I need to do then." He said, "Oh, like when
you mess with some Originators." I said, "You're not supposed to know
that. Er, what do you mean?" He laughed well.
Seth came to me and said, "You could have asked me." I said, "And
would you have refused?" He said, "That's beside the point." We
chuckled. I said, "So you like being Frank N. Stein?" He said, "I will
NOT use the N, but except for that, yes. Important work on Earth. I
think all of us would like that. And I get to associate with real
people, some who don't know what I am." I said, "But they do. A very
nice and fun intelligent person. One who helps them in ways they
sometimes don't realize at the time." He said, "Oh. Well, you would
know. I think it's time. Let me have the bomb interdiction." I said,
"Think George would have given it to you?" He said, "If he didn't do it
himself, maybe." I said, "You're at the top in seniority among S Kids
after my first class, and an adult. So, I agree. Rose doesn't need the
disturbance at this stage. Suggest you take over with a kiss." He said,
"Thanks!"
George said to me, "I agree. Jen is going to enroll in Yale Medical
School. She wanted Harvard, but we got a better deal with Yale. She's
going in the open as our sponsored student, but with a full Tibetan BS
and MS, and will do most of her work in Tibet, accelerated. She'll be
of legal age by the time she starts interning. She's supposed to not be
an Adept, but our contacts there suspect, and want to keep it secret
for us." I said, "Hostage Tibet." He grinned and said, "Never stated,
but we all know that." I said, "Going to be trouble. Some psis there."
"Er, there might be. Ring? Pendant?" He grinned widely and said, "Can't
be a ring in some classes. Pendant or ear stud." I said, "I said,
"Both, just in case. Detectable at half psi, so she can report against
a bad diagnosis?" He said, "Fine. Won't block her?" I said, "Not in any
way. Just change what people can sense of her. Will work on anybody but
users of the 4th. Equipment is shielded that way, too. Here, test it
yourself."
Jen ported in and they did that, and were amazed. I said, "No."
George said, "It's not fair! You're supposed to wait for the question
before you answer it!" I hugged and kissed him, and he said, "Well, a
She didn't complain.
I said to Seth, "Might have something for you." He said, "I heard.
It's going all over among S Kids." He laughed at my rude noise. I said,
"For you, more. Half psis can expose our usual disguises. Got an
upgrade of Guardian gear, different assortment of models. Think at it
what you want for a disguise, and only full users of the 4th can detect
anything unusual. You can also set your perceived level of psi ability
and the accompanying aura. All without blocking anything you have." He
said. "Gimme!" We chuckled. He and Jen tested the gear and found it was
all as I said, and more. It didn't affect their use of the 4th,
including shields. Or their use of PK. I said to their questions, "No,
I can't tell you how they work. It's one of those things that if you
can, you would already know. Will you? I don't know. I expect that
won't hurt your self improvement motivation, any." Chuckles and pokes.
George said, "I want those for all our psych office workers." I said,
"Here. I'll tell the up-levels on tour." He said, "Good. They should
get to know Jack more." I asked to see the Director. I said, "We had a
problem with our disguises being subject to penetration by some psis.
It's not a problem now. We can set how other people see us, including
auras and psi ability, effective against anybody not of our schools."
He said, "Wow!" I said, "They said that, too, but with much more
affection." Chuckles. He said, "Ability upgrade?" I said, "For them,
tech. For me, ability. I have to manage everything people see of me, or
there could be some interesting er, issues." He said, "Too much for
us?" I said, "I am NOT fat! But my aura is a little too much. Not even
my own people have seen all of it as it is now, except the enlightened
have seen more than the others. Oops." He laughed very loudly. I said,
"If there could be a traffic jam in mindtalk, that almost did it." He
grinned and said, "You like doing that." I said, "Did you have to make
it worse?" More laughter. I said, "Good thing I'm not a real leader, or
I could order them to behave." He said, "Would they?" I said, "No.
That's why I'm not a real leader." He laughed.
I said, "I'm off to make the rounds of the other countries on this
issue." He said, "Have fun." I said, "Already at max for this."
Chuckles. I shifted to all the offices we had in other countries, when
they were open, and told them. Back home, Mom said, "Bomb interdiction.
Thanks. Was hurting more. I don't know how your father could stand it."
I said, "It's tough, but when you have to, you have to." She said,
"Right about your aura. I can see more of it than I could before. For
everybody, actually. Yours actually sparkles. Pretty. Can't show me the
whole thing?" I said, "Yes and no, and yes and no. You can't see as
much of it as I could, but what you could see if I let you, would kind
of blow your mind a little. Don't need the mess." She said, "S Kids?"
Kam said in the air, "I can see more than you, but there aren't any
other S Kids Awakened. One more thing. I can tell there is more I can't
see." I said, "It's just an aura. Not important, really." Kam said,
"Oops!" We laughed.
She said, "They can, but mine refuses to say more about it. You must
of done something special to earn that kind of loyalty. More than
giving them porn. Sol! I just looked at your stone. It's bigger than
I've ever seen one before, and as I remember yours. Why?" I said, "They
have a limited memory storage capacity. Need more room, they grow, if
there's enough energy available to enable that. I draw not as much as
you do in your world broadcasts, in my meetings, but I've had the
occasion to do it for multiple worlds at a time. And I do a LOT that he
wants to think about." She said, "I can really believe THAT!" Chuckles.
Mom said, "When you do multiple presences, is your stone included?" I
said, "He is, and is VERY confused about it." More chuckles.
