Solomon's Private File #439
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 35 in this story, in the Fall of 2061.
Solomon's Private File #439 "Trasnop Trouble"
START Page
It was a very hi tech world with FTL space flight. There was a
conference going on in a big meeting room, that I walked into. I was
looking original, and they looked fully human with red hair. One of
them was so startled, that she jumped a little. I said to her,
"Trasnop, want to explain why you're so surprised?" Silence. Another
said, "Yes, I'd like to know that. Oh forget about it. What!" I said,
"You try to do that again, Trasnop, you WILL regret it." One said,
"What did she do?" The forgetful man said, "I think I know! I wanted to
know why she was startled, and then I didn't. Then I did again.
Fantastic as it is, logic tells me she somehow influenced my thinking,
and this visitor knew that, and blocked her." Many nodded. One said, "I
don't believe it!" I said, "His own thought. Wrong, though." Grins.
One said, "She can read minds?" I said, "Mostly not his. A lot of
pages missing in his book." Some had to laugh. I said, "Of the unusual
powers of the mind, full telepathy is rare. That includes full
manipulation of another's thoughts and memories. Assuming the victims
have anything useful in that, to begin with. I have to tell you,
knowing what really goes on in people's minds is NOT fun!" I said to
one man, "You're not nearly as sexy as you think you are." He laughed,
and said, "Passed the test!" Chuckles.
I said, "Trasnop can see auras. All living things have energies that
the psionic can sense even at a distance, and advanced life forms, such
as people, have auras. She was surprised, because she couldn't detect
my life sign, and can't see my aura. To her, that's just not possible.
So, my sudden to her appearance here, surprised her more than she could
imagine. I kind of like that." Grins. Victim said, "Is she very
powerful in this kind of thing?" I said, "Highest level in psionic
talent, yes. But not trained well. She's been trying to kill me. Some
of that effort would have killed most of you. I'm not letting that
happen." He said, "Are there many like her?" I said, "To loose of a
question. As she is to you, there is only one. As she is to this world,
this galaxy, this universe, that's different, and it doesn't take into
account ethical positions. Please don't class me with HER. It's VERY
rare for one of her highest level abilities to have such a lack of
honor. Actually, I know of only one, in this galaxy. Er, her. Psis feel
as others feel. To hurt a person, would be like they hurt themselves.
Only a seriously compromised mind could become like she is."
He said, "A logical foundation. There are still questions. If she is
so powerful, how are you able to stop her?" I said, "I know how what
she can do, works. Yes, the full science. All my senior students do,
and could stop her as I have been. Maybe with a little less humor."
Grins. He said, "Would your students be able to hide their auras?" I
said, "Only I can do that without special assistance. I didn't have to,
but it seemed like a good idea to start this situation going." He said,
"Only psis can see auras?" I said, "Usually, yes." He said, "That means
we can see them sometimes?" I said, "Your parents must have been very
annoyed with you." Laughter, his the loudest. He said, "They were!" I
said, "I've made special lenses that allows all people to see auras,
and that works on a camera, too. Call it a psi energy transducer, if
you will. Or, something I'm not giving you." Chuckles.
I said, "Much of a who a person is, is reflected in the aura. The
different colors in them, and the relative strengths of them, signify
different things. And it's dynamic. You tell a lie, all who can see and
understand auras, know it. But such people also sense feelings
directly. When what a person says, doesn't match his feelings, I think
you get the idea. Every other psi at her level is unable to lie. That
would cause faults in the mind which would make the powers unreliable,
even rebound on the person. Training in fully using these powers
creates a clear mind that can't actually lie. While this is an
interesting discussion, I'm not really here for this."
He said, "Please explain." I said, "I think you knew I would do that.
Actually, you couldn't stop me. I'm a teacher!" Grins. I said, "You are
meeting here to decide what to do about other inhabited worlds you've
discovered. One faction wants to exploit them, and some of you want
them to be undisturbed. Trasnop wants to exploit them, and has
manipulated others to agree with her. Why she wants this, is because
there are other hi psis on those planets, mostly children, that she
wants to enslave for her own use. That use would in turn, make all on
this world, and others, her slaves. Don't try to understand why. A
healthy mind just can't. Be very glad you can't see her mind as I can."
He said, "Wow!" I said, "I hear that a lot." Surprised chuckles.
I said, "Most societies at your level have a non interference policy,
because they know that contact with a more advanced society, ruins the
less advanced." One said, "No it won't!" I said, "You again." Chuckles.
I said, "The history of your own planet shows that clearly. I've seen
billions upon billions of societies and civilizations rise and fall. I
know more than a little about this subject. About all subjects,
actually." He said, "I don't believe you!" I said, "Somehow, strangely,
I kind of expected that." Laughter. I said, "There is a way to prove
some of this. Pick anything that happened to you in the past, and I'll
show it. That again! Can't you people think of anything else?" Loud
laughter. One said, "Are we any different in that?" I said, "Absolutely
not!" More laughter.
I said to the unbeliever, "Choose something less er, stimulating. No,
make it something you know wasn't recorded. That ceremony was. Did you
really have to laugh at him?" He laughed, and said, "He fell!" I said,
"Choose. Alright." I projected him learning how to drive a car. I said,
"That's not bad for a beginner. You know what I could have showed. That
back seat got quite a workout." Laughter. He was embarrassed, but said,
"I have to admit it, yes. Can't be faked. You can really see anything
in my mind, and in the past. How far back?" I said, "All the way. Pages
becoming clearer?" He was embarrassed again, and said, "I understand. I
was being foolish."
Victim said, "Can your students to that?" I said, "Some can do that
to different degrees. Trasnop, had she been my student, would have been
one of those." He said, "Can she learn it now?" I said, "No. If she
knew how to try it, and did, she would die. Her mind isn't clear. That
would rip it apart. Not one of my students managed that without a lot
of effort, painful effort, in the first to the third attempts." He
said, "What is to become of her?" I said, "If you're a caring person,
you won't want to know, even though you can't fully understand what it
will do to her. I will remove all her psionics, and install compulsions
against lying and harming people. She would rather die than have that
happen, which she is able to cause by will alone. I won't allow that."
He said, "Are all of you able to do that?" I said, "My students, yes.
Not me. I am unable to die." He nodded, and said, "In your knowing, is
it all?" I said, "REALLY annoyed parents!" Some laughter, mixed with
awe.
He said, "You didn't let her see your aura. With your control over
it, which you said only you have, could you let US see it?" I said,
"They didn't spank you enough." Laughter. I said, "I can show you
anything you want to see, and it will be real, but not the full truth.
You are unable to perceive anything I don't create for you specifically
to see." He said, "You know what I'm thinking." I said, "Don't think
that." Chuckles. I said, "As some of your more adventurous thinkers are
suspecting, I'm a non corporeal being. I made this body for
convenience."
I said, "Enough about me. I request that you do not contact worlds
that are less advanced than you are, in any way." One said, "If we
did?" I said, "That's a null question." They looked at my victim. I
said with a grin, "I've unmasked you! They know how intelligent you
are, now." He grinned, and said, "So it seems. It's a waste of time to
ask you about something that isn't going to happen. You won't let it."
I said, "Let's just say you will make the right decision. You don't
need any threats to do the right thing. Knowing all, means I know all
of you, better than you do." Trasnop vanished. I said, "I did what I
said I would do with her. She's in her home now. Good people wouldn't
want to see her suffering so. Her influence will fade from her victims
soon. She didn't have the skill to make permanent changes in minds. I
see the question. Some of my students will monitor this area of space,
for misuse of psionics, and stop abuse of it."
He said, "Will any of our people become your students?" I said, "If
only they hadn't married." Laughter. I said, "I'm not going to tell
you. It will be their decision who knows about them. Er, if that
happens." Chuckles and knowing looks. I said, "I offer you my personnel
love." They knew what to do when my aura filled the room, and I glowed
and opened my arms. I helped them to sit after the hugs with love. Then
I said, "Fare you well." I melted into a large glowing ball of light,
and faded away.
They stared at where I had been, for a while. One said, "Is he God?"
One said, "I hope so!" One said, "We don't even know his name!" Victim
said, "With his intelligence, that must be deliberate. This would be
far from the first time he's done something like this. I think he
doesn't want to interfere with our religions." One said, "Not having a
name to worship, I see what you mean." One grinned, and said, "So, if
we do worship him, it will be to God, even if he wasn't." Victim said,
"THAT was intelligent of you! I suspect we are all now more intelligent
than we were before. Trasnop may have caused us to be less intelligent,
with her influence, even if she hadn't intended it." They looked at
him, grinning. He was embarrassed, and said, "Maybe they really
shouldn't have married." Laughter.
I said to Lolis, the accidental teleporter, in the holy center,
"You've learned all you can from them here. No, they aren't aware of
me. Making people feel strange when it isn't funny, is a waste of
effort." She tried not to laugh. I said, "They won't hear what we don't
want them to hear. Yes, that would probably be all." She laughed. I
said, "You now know something of your abilities, and your mind.
Training and skill, not so much. And real world education, almost
nothing. Oh, I know you have a university degree. That's not much more
than crib playing, to what you can learn. In relative terms, you've
barely learned to talk. Now we're going to do something about walking.
Or put in a different way, you know just enough to be dangerous, but
not why, and not with what. For you now, control is the priority. There
are two ways to learn it. One way is mental exercise. That could take a
said, "The other, much shorter way, is to use the body to train the
mind, through the study of martial arts." She said, "Oh! That makes
sense." I said, "I try." She didn't want to laugh, but a little
squeaked out. I said, "You need a new gasket." Then she did laugh.
She said, "Which school have you paid to accept me?" I said, "Well,
they didn't cure that one." She laughed loudly. I said, "That's not
all. There are two things you should be practicing in psionics as much
as you can." I instructed her in the use of the PK toy, and projection.
I said, "Strength in those abilities will aid the others. Yes, you can
use external energy for some of that, but don't. The exercises are for
you to build up your own internal systems." She said, "I want to learn
all about this, but are there good applications?" I said, "Yes. Helping
billions of lives, applications. Here's an action just completed, where
I was fighting with a very talented psi, while I was addressing a
meeting that held the lives of billions in the balance." I showed her
the meeting with Trasnop.
She had a very interesting mix of emotions during that. She noticed
me studying her. I grinned, and she laughed. She said, "I have to ask.
Are you God?" I said, "Reality is more complicated than reality. Hmm,
words don't do well in this. Whatever I tell you in this area, can't be
perfectly accurate. I'm independent of reality as you know it. All you
perceive of me, is only what I create for you for that purpose. The
concepts of God that the living have, can't be accurate, because
they're not able to perceive and understand that. God is real. In some
ways I'm an extension of God, and in other ways I'm an individual
personality. The best way for you to think of me in this, is I'm God's
Senior Agent for all time and spaces. I know that, because that's what
God says when He talks about me. Embarrassing, actually." She said,
"Did She create you?" I grinned, and said, "She created everything."
She said, "God is female in gender?" I said, "No gender, or all of
them, so feel free to choose as you will, in your thoughts and
expressions in that area."
I said, "Back to your training. There is no martial arts school here
that can take you all the way. When you're ready, one of my students
will assist you." She said, "Will it be a man or woman?" I said, "That
would depend on who is available at that time, and who volunteers
first. While I teach and lead, I do not command my students. They're
beyond such a petty existence that would require it. Do you have a
preference?" She said, "I'm not sure." I grinned. I said, "They won't
be of your species, or be able to breathe your air. They will be using
their personal shields for their protection. Yes, you will be learning
that. Why them and not me? You should see what people like you,
actually do, as you've been wondering. There is something I will do for
you now. You have forgotten most of your education. No, that's normal.
But not now for you. This crystal will restore those memories." She
grinned, and read it, and said, "Wow!" I said, "Included." She laughed.
I said, "I'll be waiting in the taxi." She was grinning when I
shifted out. I said, in her home, "Yes, you can still recognize your
apartment. Here's the address of the school, and here's a bag of gear
for it. School is paid up for a year of the best level of instruction.
Yes, it was expensive, for actual people." Grins. She said, "If I need
to talk to you?" I said, "I know all, and that includes what people
say. I answer a little more often than God does." She said, "That isn't
much." I grinned, and said, "I know. Self reliance and initiative are
NOT something we want to make less." We hugged. She doesn't know that's
a new school, and the teachers and students, are all my presences. She
did wonder why there were no children, and was told the school was only
for adults.
I asked to meet with Conner. I said, "This is private. You have
experience using your shield in surprising hostile to life conditions."
Grins. I said, "Remember the published action with the woman surprise
teleporter who played with me?" He said with a big grin, "I do!" I
said, "I was hoping for a little less of that." He laughed. I sighed,
and said, "She hadn't stopped. I was hoping for safety in numbers." He
said, "You want an assistant teacher." I said, "The position's
available." He said, "Your new shield should be perfect for that. It's
not even detectable!" I said, "You kiss her, you both are going to
taste terrible." He laughed. I pushed him the info. He said, "The whole
school is you! How many?" I said, "In support of psis, 138,079, and
still expanding. Usually not necessary." He said, "I want in now. I'll
set my disguise to half open psionics, and their species. I only need
to be there when she is. No windows, same for you?" I said, "Yes." He
said, "Got a watch on her. All set?" I said, "Yes after George." He
said, "I want to do Corps, too, when I have time." I said, "I know. We
all do. Going to be fun when she finds out." He said, "Part of my
motivation. I get to play HER, for a change." Grins and a hug.
I said to George, "I want Connor for an assignment." I pushed the
info. He laughed, and said, "I'll treat him as limited available."
Conner told Lolis, when she asked about the absent owner, "He has a lot
of schools. He spends time in each of them as he can, when he thinks
they need his help. He trusts me to run this one in his absence. I
hope." Grins. It's working well.
I shifted to the office of Trasnop's victim, and said, "Greetings.
You've been experiencing some odd feelings, and not all of them are
from my humor." He grinned, and said, "Greetings to you, oh nameless
person." I said, "I WAS going to offer some help." He tried not to
grin. I said, "That's not working." He laughed. I said, "Most people
have some psi ability, but usually too little to be noticed. Some
people have more. Some of those people suppress it. We call them
latents. Sometimes something triggers their psionics to awaken. In your
case, it was Trasnop's manipulation. You've got a strong mind, and she
pushed hard. That part of you woke up, but it's er, unsettled, and
making you a little sick at times. I interfered with her and you, so
it's my responsibility to help you with this. Will you allow me to?" He
said, "What do I have to do?" I said, "Other than not playing with me?"
He laughed. I said, "Nothing but agree. I'll align your psionic energy
centers. Take a second." He said, "I agree."
I said, "Done." He said, "I feel different! I can see your aura!" I
said, "Your level in psionics is about half. Some of your abilities,
while weak, are often reliable. Want the book now?" He said, "I do!
Please!" I said, "It's in this crystal that only works for you. In it
are some commands that prohibit accidental use of psionics. You
wouldn't want your dreams to do some odd and dangerous things." He
grinned, and, "Absolutely." I said, "Another set of commands prohibits
unjust use. To see the book, you have to accept the commands. You read
it by putting it to your forehead. You'll see the commands before
agreeing to them." He nodded, and accepted the commands, and then read
the book, and said, "Wow!" I said, "One of the benefits of the crystal
is instant memorization. You won't forget it. This is how all my
students start. You don't qualify to be one of them. You've obviously
got the intelligence, but not the level in psionics to befit from my
schools." He made a paper move on his desk without touching it.
I said, "Practice will improve that, but I recommend you don't let
people see it." He said, "I agree." I offered to hug him. He looked at
his lap. I said, "That happens often in my hugs. With your new
abilities, it's going to be different this time." We hugged, and he
ejaculated. I helped him to sit, and said, "I'll clean that up. Feeling
each others' feelings can create something of a feedback loop until you
get used to it. Not a bad thing, if it's not in public." He said,
"Wow!" I said, "Comes with it." Grins I said, "You know I'm not going
to tell you a name. I would have, but for that conversation after I
dissolved that body." He said, "You didn't say you left." I said, "That
concept doesn't apply to me. I'm everywhere all the time." He said,
"You knew who some of us think you are." I said, "For some things, it's
more interesting to neither confirm or deny. But, you're right,
partially. It doesn't make any difference, either way. I know it's
ambiguous. Isn't that great?" Grins. I said, "One more thing. Your
intelligence has increased. How can you live with such a horrible
thing, well, you'll just have to cope, somehow." We traded grins, and I
did the glowing ball shifting out.
