Stephen's Secure Blog #93
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 14 in this story, in the spring, near the end of year 4 of
his special school.

In the morning, I said to Rose and Hawk, who were in bed with me, "We
three have a problem. I think we shouldn't do this again." They were
both shocked, and then Rose, the more practical one, said, "What's the
problem?" I said "I don't have sexual attractions yet, but even when I
do have them, I know I won't be able to choose between the two of you."
Hawk said "So that's it? We already knew that. So we'll have a
three-way marriage like the Posintans do, but with less arms and legs,
in fact, if not in law." I said "That's not all. When my first child is
ten or twelve, I expect to be going on to my next existence." Rose
said, "We knew that, too. We can feel that existence pulling on you,
and your resistance to it." Hawk said "We will really miss you, but we
wouldn't dream of doing anything to try to hold you back from your
evolution." I said with a sigh, "Chad used to say in situations like
this; I look for and work to solve problems so much, sometimes with my
friends, I see some that aren't there." Rose said "Like now." Hawk said
"But in another way, you were right about there being a problem, and
that was in you. It's not a bad feeling for us to know we helped solve
one of YOUR problems." I said "I'm glad my problem made you happy. Oh,
that didn't sound right." Hawk poked me and laughed. Then we were all
wrestling around, and then we really went to work to make us all have
great orgasms. While we were resting, Rose said "I like solving
problems." We all agreed.
They went back to the school with the rest of the pared stones for
the new students, except for Splidnt, because his third eye wasn't all
the way open yet. A few days later, I had a meeting with Zander. I
said "Found a building yet?" He said "Three possibles. Want to see
them?" I said "Yes." He projected them into the air, one at a time, for
a few seconds each. I said "First, I have to tell you, you are really
improving." He grinned. I said "Not so fast. Give me all the
information you have about them in a push." After a few seconds, that's
what he did. I said "Now you can grin." We both did. I scouted the
buildings and their areas, and said, "I like all of them, but the last
one has the best potential for security, although the first one has
more space. None of them have good space for labs, but I suppose that
can't be helped, with such limited availability. Have you thought of
looking at buildings which aren't available, and putting offers on some
you like, just in case they are thinking of moving?" He said "No I
haven't. Thank you for the idea. Also, thank you for the art teacher.
She is doing very well, and has captured the interest of the other
students, too. That she has ties to the museum is an added benefit,
like keeping it in our family." I said "I thought so too, which is why
I asked them. How are the new computers working out?" He grinned and
said, "They are fantastic!" I said "I guess you like them." He laughed.
He said "They speed up schoolwork tremendously." I said "That's why I
made them. In my last incarnation, we used to dictate to recording
machines, which went to secretaries to type up overnight. I changed
that when I made our first personal computers. That was before the rest
of Earth had them, so we couldn't have them at home. When they finally
were available, I made ours look like theirs on the outside, so we
didn't have to keep them secret. We still had mechanical data entry
systems, but they were just for show, because we used our minds. We
didn't need secretaries after that, which was better for security and
the payroll."
I said "May I examine you for possible er, upgrade?" He said "Please
do." I did, and said, "Let's go outside." We did, and I made one of the
old belts, and keyed it to him, and told him that, and how to operate
it. He put it on, and tried the invisibility function. I said "You
can't actually see it working from inside of it, but I can tell you it
does work now. If you would like, I can show you with mine, how it
looks to others in this setting." He said "Please." I turned mine on.
He said "It doesn't work perfectly in this surrounding. I assume it
works better in the air?" I said "Yes. Try to use the belt to rise up
in the air, but turn off your invisibility, so I can see how well you
can control it." He did, and promptly shot off at an angle. I said in
contact, +You have to compensate for the Coriolis effect caused by the
planet's rotation.+ He said +Understood, and correcting.+ I turned off
my invisibility, and stayed up in the air. He said +I notice you aren't
wearing a belt. This means what the belt does, I might be able to learn
to do without it.+ I said +Correct. I invented it to help the other
Adepts I was training, do things I could, which they couldn't yet do.
With some more math and better energy control, you might be able to
levitate on your own. Rose learned only a few months ago, and Hawk did
last year.+ He landed in front of me. I said "Be careful. The faster
you fly, the harder you hit things you can't avoid. I know that VERY
well!" He laughed. He said "It's very useful to me to have as a
teacher, somebody who has made the mistakes I don't have to
experience." I said "I was my own best and worst test subject.
Fortunately for YOU, I survived." He said "Fortunate indeed."
He said, "Does this mean you can produce lasers without the ring?" I
said "Yes." I made one come out of my palm, and melted a line in the
sand. I said "It takes a high degree of energy control, and a complete
knowledge of the physics and optics involved, and even then, it's very
dangerous without complete control. I don't recommend anybody do it,
and have never tried to teach it. Instead, I made tools like this one
for mining and exploration." I made one of my original laser guns and
ported it to me, and gave it to him. I said "Instructions in the
crystal. More recently, two years ago, actually, I made a new and
improved model, with tractor/pressor capabilities included." I ported
one to me, and gave it to him. I said "They look like weapons, but were
intended for mining exploration. So was the belt. They all only work
for Adepts." He said "May we keep these at the school?" I said "Yes.
For your information, only a few of us can make those, and except for
me, only from already existing plans. Nobody but me understands the
mental control mechanisms, so far, because nobody has my peculiar
affinity with, and understanding of crystals. I have some hope that
Rose and Ichi will, someday. And possibly Splidnt."
I said "Your students will notice the belt you wear now, which is
like those of Earth wear. Your status will increase in their view." He
grinned and said, "I am well aware of that!" I said "When you think it
is time for a student to graduate to one of our technological items,
such as the laser ring, let me know. If you are in doubt, ask your
assistants." He said "I will. There is something I should ask you now.
I think Harditch is more advanced in some areas than I am, and I am
unsure what to do about that." We went back inside, and I said, "While
you are very intelligent and knowledgeable, they are more intelligent,
and are learning what you are teaching at a much younger age than you
did. You know what that will cause." He said "They will surpass me." I
said "Yes, but you will never lose their respect and love for you, as
their friend and teacher. I still taught my students after my brain
injury, when I had lost my adept powers. I still knew how to learn and
teach, and I ran the school for many years after that." He said "I know
it sounds cruel, but you understand I don't mean to offend, when I say
that your misfortune heartens me." I said "I do understand, and
actually like it, if you don't cause me any more misfortunes, to feel
even happier." He laughed, and so did I. I said "They might develop
better skills, but that doesn't mean they are finished learning their
academics. I doubt Harditch knows enough math to learn to levitate.
But, if you think she can use more advanced mental techniques than you
feel qualified to teach, she can be sent to Ichi for some help with
that. We don't want them thinking I'm taking over your school." He said
"I knew you would say that. Thank you for making me correct." I grinned
and said, "You're welcome. The real next level, after the rings and
first belt, demands a lot of math, and a REALLY good object sense, and
outstanding mental control. I'm afraid that you might never have an
object sense fine and strong enough, or sufficient mental control, to
advance to that level, which includes porting, and then manipulating
forcefields. Some of my own people never did. When you can carry on
five separate simultaneous contact conversations, and talk out loud to
somebody else in public view, while you are managing your people in an
action mission, then we can see about other qualifications. But, if you
to motivate people!"
I said "Yes, and that didn't come easily to me. Often in the middle
of an action mission, like a rescue, I found that I, and my students,
advanced our abilities more then, than during peaceful times. I
determined that proper motivation is essential for our psionic
development, because there is some innate resistance to overcome in
doing that. You might want to keep that in in mind in your teaching."
He said "I will. I have a personal question that I don't know if I
should ask." I said "And you were just going to leave it at that, and
keep me in curious suspense forever?" He laughed. He said "What of your
own advancement now?" I said "I think I can't have any significant
advancement, and remain in corporeal form." He said "Wow!" I said
"That's why I will not reincarnate. I won't be able to. It is suspected
that I will stay in that realm, and help manage it." He said "I
wouldn't be surprised." I said "Well, none of you are likely to know,
so it will have to remain just speculation." He said "Will you be able
to tell us from there?" I said "It's against the rules, but yes. I have
received such communication from those waiting to reincarnate. But I
don't know if a manager should set such a bad example." He said "You
will do what you think is best." I grinned and said, "Even that is
speculation." He said "Not to me." I said "Beware beliefs. They can
trip you when you least expect it, like a gigantic cosmic foot." He
said "Is that an old wise saying from your planet?" I said "I just made
it up." He laughed.
I said "Here is an example of multiple processes. I just answered my
local comm while we were talking, and the nosiest reporter on the
planet wants to interview me. What do you think I said to him?" He said
"No!" I grinned and said, "Not exactly. I asked him if it's an
assignment and his editors know, or if he was doing it on his own. What
do you think he said?" He said "Assignment." I said "Not exactly." He
made a strange noise. I grinned. I said "He said he had turned down
that assignment, and is doing it on his own." He said "But why?" I told
him about my conversation with Gikkal at the unveiling. He said "I see
it now. You knew he was going to be assigned to interview you, and you
wanted him to know you wouldn't want to do that, but would talk to him
privately. He's in a very bad position now. He won't let it go unless
you tell him something that's news, but you will do it in a way he will
know he shouldn't report it. Real torture for such an honest
journalist." I said "You do understand, and well, and I'm proud of you
for that. I don't know if Hawk would have." He was embarrassed, and
said, "Er, thank you." I said "He will be here tomorrow, and a few days
after that, the police will come and try to arrest me for illegal drug
possession. No, he isn't going to be involved with that, but I have to
decide whether or not to tell him of it in advance." He said "A
difficult one. I don't envy you that decision." I said "I don't either.
Should I assume you want a crystal of my playing with the police?" He
said "Yes you should. If it turns out to be appropriate for teaching,
my students could use some stimulating amusement." I said "We'll see.
Let me know when you have more buildings for me to look at." We stood
and he said, "I will. Thank you." I said "Ready to port?" He said "Yes,
and goodbye." I ported him back to his school.
I sent Rose and Hawk the meeting with Zander, and then made some more
art for the museum. Then I spent some time talking with my stone. I
said "Hello. I've been thinking about you, but haven't dared to discuss
some things of interest with you. Do you have any comments?" He said
"You would have to ask questions for that." I said "As you knew I
expected. What will happen to you after I do the final death thing?" He
said "I don't know. If what happens to you is what you suspect, that is
a very rare thing." I said "Do you know of any entity who might know?"
He fed me some amusement and said, "You know I do, and know they
wouldn't tell you." I said "I'm concerned about you. I don't want you
to be lonely." He said "I appreciate that, but I don't know what else
to say." I said "Then a different subject. I don't have any sexual
preferences. Am I going to, and if so, when?" He said "They should
appear in less than a year. Your request not to have the hair changes
that accompany sexual maturity, have delayed it a little." I said
"Thank you. I absolutely hated shaving!" He said "But your blue light
cleaning system can be set to perform that service." I said "I didn't
know I would be making that, then. Anyway, I like not having stubble.
So, thank you very much!" He said "You're welcome." I said "Do you have
any information about what is likely to happen to me when I
discorporate?" He said "Nothing I am able to communicate." I said
"That's odd, because I know you exist in that realm more than I do at
the moment." He said in surprise, "You have successfully hidden such
thinking from me, and I didn't even know you were doing that. I didn't
know that was possible." I said "That deserves a really big WOW!" He
laughed.
I said "Not only have I been thinking about it, I have been looking
in it and exploring it, and developing math to describe it." He said
"That is extremely unusual. I don't know of any who have survived
that." I said "It's been a big strain to not let all of me go there,
but I have work to do here for a few more years, and I intend to finish
that. So, do you now have anything more to tell me in answers to my
questions?" He said "I have not. You deserve an explanation. Some
things I don't know. Other things involve concepts I am unable to
express to you which you can understand in your present form. I don't
know which of those things will harm you, so I am prevented from trying
to communicate them. And, you don't really need them now. You already
know more than you should, and remain comfortable in your current
existence." I said "I guess I will have to accept that. But I still
worry about you." He said "If I tell you there is no cause to worry,
will you stop worrying?" I said with humor, "No. You know that never
works." He said with humor, "But I still had to try."
Rose and Hawk came to spend the night with me, and I told them what
my stone said about my sexuality. They were happy for me. However, they
both insisted on checking very carefully for any pubic hairs I might
have. Strangely, they sometimes needed to use their tongues for that,
which I enhanced for them in the link. We had a lot of great orgasms
before we were too tired to stay awake. We slept in a sea of love.
