Solomon's Private File #342
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 31 in this story, in the Spring of 2057.
Solomon's Private File #342 "Helping Originators"
START Page
I shifted to a planet in another dimension. I looked like me, but
changed enough to be compatible with the local environment. A woman was
in a rage and destroying lab equipment. I put her to sleep. I asked the
horrified watchers, "Why didn't you stop her?" They were confused, and
not just about my sudden appearance. I waited, and finally a woman
said, "It was a surprise. We were confused and didn't know what to do."
I said, "With your combined power, you could have put her to sleep.
Didn't you know you could do that?" She said, "We did, but we didn't
think to do it." I said, "So you let her continue the destruction, and
injuring herself. Is that what you wanted?" She said, "No, of course
not. We didn't want that." I said, "But you didn't stop it. So you must
have wanted it." She said, "No, we just couldn't think!"
I said, "You're Originators. You're supposed to be able to think, and
well! Why couldn't you think? Is there something wrong with you, an
injury? Can you be trusted to continue to work for God?" She looked
very surprised, and said, "Who are you? How do you know about us?" I
said, "I am Solomon, the Senior Agent of God for all time and spaces.
How I know about you, is because it's my job, and I know all, in each
galaxy in which I have a presence. I'm here, because you have a
problem. Yes, YOU. Yes, she has a problem. A brain injury. It can be
healed. Your problem is much more serious, in that it involves the mind
choosing not to operate as it should, and you have lied to me about it.
You didn't stop her because you were fascinated by the whole situation.
You wanted to see how it would continue. Don't argue with reality. I
can play back your thoughts and emotions, if you want that shameful
proof." They did start to feel ashamed.
I said, "You can sense emotions. You can see the truth in others. You
know I can, too, and to a much greater degree, yet you lied to me. You
knew I could detect that, but you did it anyway. Is this a good example
of your mental health?" They had a lot of unpleasant feelings. I said,
"I'm waiting for your answer. Alright, here's something for you. When
she wakes up after I heal her, and she discovers that you LET her
injure herself for your entertainment, how is she going to feel about
that, and about you? How will that affect your community? You're REALLY
not thinking well! We need to repair this situation." She said, "We
don't accept that you have authority over us." I said, "I expected
that. Your arrogance has increased to the extent that you would let one
of your own suffer for your amusement. I am about to rule on your fate.
As you are now, you are not fit to serve God. Or anybody else,
actually. Your duty has been to promote intelligent life. They are NOT
to be like who you are now."
One said, "I asked my stone about you, and it wouldn't tell me." I
said, "And what to you deduce from that?" He said, "You have a stone.
They can communicate with each other. They must know about you.
Refusing to answer my question means you told it not to, through your
stone, or directly. That it would obey you, and not me, its bonded,
means you DO have the authority you claim." I said, "Intelligently
reasoned! The first originator to take that line of reasoning to it's
true conclusion. Well done!" They looked at him as if he were a
stranger. I said, "But they don't accept that. You know I can give them
proof." He said, "But you're testing us. Causing us to show you and
ourselves that we are unworthy to be servants of God. Have you made
other Originators leave His service?" I said, "I have. They now have no
memory of that service, are no longer bonded, because they have no
psionics, and have no technology above the preindustrial level. They
know only that life now, and are as content as a people can be, in that
way of living, which is actually, very. Is this what you desire?"
He said, "I do not. I want to continue to serve God." I said, "The
rest of you?" They wanted to serve. I said, "But most of you can't do
it as you are now." They all looked surprised. I grinned. The leader
said, "I see it happened to all. Our stones agree with you, and are
pleading with us to cooperate with you. They must know that you
actually did that." I said, "They do, and know that it was only with
the approval of God." She said, "We are not accepted as we are now. How
can we change that?" I said, "You have lived too long. That has caused
you to have these mind problems. You need to be retrained." I grinned,
and said, "God knows all, but that I'm so close to Him, means I'm less
predictable to him, than all others who are living. He can't really be
surprised, but what I do sometimes comes very close to that. He knows
what I plan, and is amused. I can feel that." They looked at me in awe.
I said, "I have designed a game for you. It has unusual features. It
operates as a full emersion dream. You experience things as if they are
real, and you are rewarded for making good decisions. And the
opposite." Grins. I said, "You will experience much greater subjective
time, than objective time. A day or more in a dream, for one minute of
real time. They will stop when you are tired, and resume when you are
ready to continue, all on a usual work schedule, which will be your
only real work until it is done, and you are released. Yes, you may
quit the training. Then you will no longer be an Originator. All who
refuse to complete the training, will be released from God's service,
and live the life I described. No, this is not conditioning. It's
education, and mental skills improvement. You will become more
intelligent. I think that's not such a bad thing." Nods. I said, "It's
individualized. And so is the scheduling. Yes, I'll be doing it
directly, for however long it takes, even if you don't see me here. No,
it's no problem for me. I'm doing things like this in many galaxies as
we speak. I can make and use as many bodies as I need."
He said, "I don't feel you reading my mind, but you must know what
I'm thinking. How?" I said, "Recall that I said I know all? It's as God
does." He said, "Oh!" I said, "One more thing. ALL your people have
been kept informed about this meeting, and will also be trained." Their
sleeping, former rampaging one, woke up fully healthy, and remembered
what had happened with her. Her stone was telling her what happened
after I arrived, bringing her up to date. She joined the group, and
said, "Thank you Solomon! I remember it all. Er, interesting." I
grinned. We hugged, and I helped her to sit. She said, "Such love! I
have no doubt of who you are!" I said, "Fine." Grins.
I said, "For some the training begins now." Some of them felt the
need to make themselves comfortable, and went to sleep. I said to those
still awake, "All incapacitated at the same time isn't an optimum
situation. So, some will always be awake, while others are in
training." One woke up and said, "Wow! What an experience! The mind
that can do that must be incredible! No, I can't describe it in a few
words. It has to be experienced. You won't be disappointed!" He was
asked, "It wasn't unpleasant?" He said, "Not at all. For me.
lasted for 16 days until all had completed it. The new leader, who all
agreed should be that, said, "Thank you, Solomon! You have made us
better! It should have been impossible, with how er were." I said, "Is
that a complaint?" He laughed, and said, "Not at all!"
He said, "I'm a different person now, but I don't feel forced into
becoming who I am now." They agreed. I said, "Force isn't my way, in
these situations. You wanted to improve. It wouldn't have worked,
otherwise. Good for you, maybe not so good for me." He smiled, and
said, "I think I understand. Now that God knows how well you and this
works, he might want you to do more of it." I said, "And He knows I
chuckles. We hugged a lot, and I shifted out. God gave me a lot of
great feelings about what I did, and about me. It wasn't that bad.
I shifted to another Originator station. I said to them, "You're
having a problem with a computer." One said, "Who are you, and how have
you come here?" I said, "I am Solomon, and how I arrived you wouldn't
understand. If you want your computer fixed, you might want to help me
to do it." He said, "We can do it without help." I said, "And how
successful have you been with that?" One said, "Not at all. Do you know
what the problem is?" I said, "I do." He said, "How can you know that
without inspecting it?" I said, "In every galaxy I have a presence in,
I know all. So, the problem here would be included in that." He said,
"Are we able to fix it?" I said, "It's possible, accidentally, but not
optimally." He said, "Please tell us what the problem is."
I said, "Simply put, a connection malfunctioned, due to corrosion. It
sent a too powerful stream of information to one of the stones, and
damaged it. I can repair the stone. You can't." They were all
surprised. One said, "My stone says you can do that!" I said, "I am the
only one who can. That's why they're asking for my help. More than you
are, actually." Embarrassed, the leader said, "Solomon, please repair
our computer." I said, "Done. Belief can be improved by testing it."
More embarrassment. They did test it, and it worked well. One said,
"Who are you, really?" I said, "Your stones will tell you after I
leave. They LOVE to embarrass me." I wrapped them in my love, and
shifted out.
My stone said, "That was a different way to do it." I said, "They
have no idea what your people really do for them. They don't know that
computer is really almost all stones, and they're doing a lot less than
they're able to. Those people are more like your pets, than anything
else." He said, "I don't completely agree with that. We do love them.
I shifted to a planet. I could and did use my original body. An
Originator space ship had made a bad landing. I said to the leader of
the survivors, "Not the most comfortable of landings." He said, "No
argument here! By how you arrived, which is beyond my understanding, I
should assume that you are able to help us. If so, I strongly request
your assistance!" I said, "All must leave the ship. Some are injured. I
will heal them. Tell me when you are ready for that." He did, and I did
the healing. I said, "I can help you with the ship, but before that, I
need to be assured that I won't be needed again right away. Why did it
crash?" He said, "Training. Pilot controlled landing. He panicked." I
said, "There will be a design change. The repaired ship will have a
safety override. You'll know when it happens, when your hearing
recovers. That should wake the pilot up." Grins.
In place of the old ship, almost instantly appeared the new one. All
the personal items and stones were transferred. It was in perfect
operating condition. I said, "All done. All working. I'll repair the
environment after you leave. Save the stones of the dead, for their new
incarnations." He nodded sadly, and gave the necessary orders. Then he
turned to me and said, "Who are you, really?" I said, "Your stone will
tell you after I leave. They LOVE to embarrass me!" He grinned. We
hugged, and he was very surprised. I shifted out. They lifted off of
the planet, and I cleaned up what they had left behind, and repaired
the environment. There remained no traces or evidence they had ever
been there.
My stone said, "Reports are that the ship isn't exactly as it was
before." I said, "It was a little plain and boring." He said, "Now it
has some art decorating it." I said, "At least it's just on the
inside." Humor.
I shifted to an Originator experimental station in orbit around a
planet. I said to the leader there, "You are about to be discovered.
Please use maximum shields." He said, "That will disrupt a lot of our
projects!" I said, "You know the rule about discovery." He said, "How
is it happening?" I said, "Species is testing a new hyperdrive. They
didn't plan to be here. Would be bad to interfere with that." He said,
don't, there will be a lot more disruptions of your projects. No, God
won't fault you for the delay on the projects." He said, "How do you
know that, and how did you know what I was thinking, when I didn't feel
it?" I said, "I'm Solomon, God's Senior Agent for all time and spaces.
I'm here on assignment. In that, I know all. Your stone will confirm
that." He said, "It did." He issued the orders, and the high level
shields were in place.
Those in the ship didn't discover the station. They left after a few
days, after discovering there were no habitable planets for their kind.
I returned to the station, and said, "You may now resume normal
shielding." He said, "Thank you!" I left. He gave the orders. Then it
was discovered that the projects that would have been disrupted,
weren't. While he was alone, he said, "Solomon, thank you! I know you
can hear me." I said in the air, "And see you, too. You're welcome." I
wrapped him in my love, and he was very surprised.
I shifted to be inside a large spaceship that was in FTL drive. I
looked like my usual self, large aura showing. The bridge crew were
very surprised. The leader of the Originators was summoned. When he
arrived, I said, "Greetings. I am Solomon. You are not on the directed
course. Please explain why that is so." He looked indecisive, obviously
considering the impossibility of my arrival, and what it could mean
about my power, and his desire to not accept that I was above
Originators.
He said, "Who are you, and how did you get here?" I said, "I told
you. I'm Solomon. How I am able to be here, you wouldn't understand.
Please answer my question." He said, "You have no authority over me!" I
said, "I do. You aren't able to receive God's orders directly, in this
space. That's why I'm here. You will answer my question voluntarily, or
involuntarily. One way will be more pleasant than the other, for you."
He gulped, and said, "We are traveling to our homeworld, and then we
will go to the assigned destination." I said, "And the reason for
that?" He said, "Some of our crew are approaching the end of their
lives, and want to see their mates again. Many of us have been away
from home for a long time. I think we need this."
I said, "You must be at the required destination at the required
time, for your mission to succeed. And that's a critical thing. Will
you change course to do that?" He sighed, and said, "Yes, I will." He
began issuing orders to that effect. I said, "Stop. I offer a better
solution to this problem. A one time ONLY solution. I will transport
you to your home planet. You may stay there until the time arrives that
I will need to transport you to your ordered destination. This will
happen instantly, at least to your perception. Do you agree to this?"
He said in surprise, "You can do this?" I waited. He cleared his
throat, and said, "Yes, please! I agree to this!" They felt some very
strange things. Then I said, "You are now in stable orbit around your
home planet. You and this ship must be ready to be transported to the
required destination in precisely 16 days, 23 hours, and 41 seconds
from NOW. Earlier would be better. You will NOT like what will happen
if that time isn't met. I will know when you are ready. Please accept
my love." I wrapped them all in the ship with my love.
They were a day early back in their ship and ready to go. I shifted
to the bridge. The leader said, "We know who you are now." I said, "You
don't have to tell me. I already know that. Ready for your next new
adventure?" He grinned, and said, "We are. Thank you very much for what
you have done for us!" I said, "You're welcome. We are now at your
required destination. Now we both have our own work to do." I gave them
my love, and shifted out.
My stone said, "Successful conclusion. If he had not agreed to
proceed to the required destination?" I said, "Then God would have less
Originators. But I would have used more testing. I would relieve him
from command, and ask the second. How I would do that, would probably
convince her." He said, "I understand. You aren't to just solve these
problems, you are testing the people, too." I said, "And that's also
part of the solution. The testing isn't for me, and not as much for God
as you're thinking. It's for THEM, so they can know themselves better,
and like who they are. Is that almost a wow?" Shared humor.
