Stephen's Secure Blog #224
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 16 in this story, in the Fall of year 7 of his special
school.

I ported to near my pavilion in the morning. Rhamcha was there. I sat
with him. He said "I didn't realize this is jade." I said "Yes. I like
it. All the white, except what is in the central post, is of one
piece." He said "So large a piece! How did you find it, and where?" I
said "Where, in that direction, and so far, the light of our sun would
take 439 years to reach it. How, would require me to say things about
my abilities which would be very immodest." He said "Please." I said "I
can perceive, with various senses and abilities, almost anywhere in
this galaxy, down to the particles that make up the particles that make
up atoms. I set an independent partition in my mind to look for what I
want, in the background, and then transport that to a holding area I
have established. A kind of warehouse, but in orbit in space where
there is no gravity to bother with. This is happening all the time,
even in my sleep. I have a lot of processes running, such as monitoring
He laughed. He said "I find peace when I sit here." I said "As I
intended. Have you touched the center?" He said "No, I haven't." He got
up and did that, and showed he felt my love. I said "Much of what I
create has part of me in it." He nodded.
I said "Did you look in the crystal to see the new things in it?" He
said with a grin, "Yes I did, and so did many of my friends. They love
your humor, and asked me to ask you how one so er, powerful and above
us, could have so much of that." I said "Have you met the Dalai Lama?"
He said "Unfortunately, no." I said "He smiles and laughs more than I
do, and jokes, too. So did The Buddha, which wasn't thought important
or appropriate to record." He said "You KNEW him!?!" I said "I
shouldn't have said that. Many people fantasize of being important, or
knowing important people, in their past lives they don't actually
remember. I resist being associated with that deception." He said "But
we all know you speak the truth." I said, "What is truth to one, isn't
always truth to another. I could be mentally er, damaged." He said
"That is true. I didn't think of that." I said "I did, because I have
been, in other lives, and in this life. You are surprised. I was
injured in an accident when I was two years old. That is not quite
accurate. Language doesn't account for what happened, very well. This
body was injured. I was still in my previous incarnation at that time,
his great grandfather. The mother of this boy died, and the father
abandoned him. I, and my best lifelong friend and student Chad, another
of his great grandfathers, assumed the care of the boy who was expected
to die, with the assistance of Tomba, the Abbot of the Buddhist Temple
in the area, who had been one of my advanced students since childhood.
Yes, in my last life, I started teaching the way of the Adept when I
was 12. Now at the time all this happened, I was old and infirm, and
had decided to move on to the next life, but was waiting for a sign for
how to do it, which I knew I would receive. The boy improved under our
care. Then his spirit left his body, unexpectedly."
I said "Chad pleaded with me to incarnate into him, because he
couldn't bear to lose us both. I set deep in my mind and spirit how to
repair the damage from inside the boy, with some assistance. I laid
down next to him, and left my body and went into his. I died and
reincarnated that way. His brain wasn't functioning enough to maintain
consciousness, but I already knew that. 8 years later, I woke up
completely healthy, with absolutely no memory, as expected and planned.
I was tutored into being able to attend the school I had taken over in
my previous incarnation, and when my Third Eye opened when I was 12,
the memories of my past lives came back to me, also as expected. All
who had known me, who had abilities and skills similar to mine, who I
had trained, recognized all that. Well, some had been told what I was
going to do, also. So, now you know how I reincarnated into my own
great grandson, intentionally. Alright, you can say it." He said "Wow!"
And grinned. I said "In my last life, I was dark haired and with
slightly dark white skin. Chad was blond and blue eyed, with ghostly
white skin. In this life as his great grandson, until recently, I
looked just like he did, when he was the age I was. In the ceremony
where I gave my love to the world, I came back to find those beyond us
had changed my appearance to make my task a little easier. How old am I
in this life?" He was startled, and said, "I don't know! Strange, I
never considered that." I said "Yes. Would have been nice if they had
asked me, though."
I said "I gave him the gift of my land to teach from, but I did not
care about what he said. All I cared about was the money I could take
from those who came to see him. He knew this, and thought it was funny.
Yes, we were friends, but really not as you would have imagined." His
jaw dropped open. I said with a grin, "As you might have noticed, I
have changed my opinions about him. You know, he might have expected
that to happen some day, which could explain why he was amused by it.
Ah! I wish they wouldn't do that!" He looked at me in absolute awe, and
said, "You were right." I nodded. I said "So, you should know now that
joy and humor are part of the state of enlightenment. I am love, and
those things are so closely related to that, they are a part of me,
too. So is creativity." He said "Ah! Now I understand more. I don't
know how to thank you enough for that." I said "Well, you just did." We
grinned at each other. I said "I should tell you one more thing, to
help put your mind at rest. Well, as much as you can be in that state
around me." He grinned.
I said "My students and I monitor each other, to offer assistance
when needed, to record for the record, and to check for mental damage.
We can't risk that happening to so powerful of beings as we are,
undetected and uncorrected." He said "You have succeeded, more than I
would have realized. I now know I had some little fear of that very
thing." I nodded, and Rose and Hawk ported to us. I introduced them,
and they ported away. He said "They love you." I said "All of us who
are advanced enough to be able to travel that way, love each other so
much, other people just cannot understand or accept. We could not have
risen to the level we have, if we didn't feel that, as proved by the
Adepts of other planets who were limited to being mostly untrained,
compared to us. When we taught them how to share love, they really
improved." He exclaimed "Yab-Yum!" I said "Yes. More, an Adept cannot
be fully of The Light, without love."
I stood, and so did he. I said, "Today I would like to visit Drepung.
It would take too much time to walk there, so, ready to go my way?" He
nodded, and I ported us to near the main building. That was noticed.
The Monastery had been the site of some unrest over the years, and was
still recovering from that, and looked it. I said to Rhamcha, "I am not
pleased. It looks as if they have made little effort to maintain this
property. There are weeds growing between the stones and on the steps!
There are ruined buildings left unprepared. There has not been trouble
here for years, but it looks like it has." He said "Yes. I saw this two
years ago. I don't know the reason. It was not my place to ask." I said
"I will make it mine." He said "That does not surprise me." I said "Or
me. I was like this as a child in my past three lives. Even before I
knew who I was, I very strongly believed in what was right and fair,
and acted on it strongly and without fear. I was a little er, pushy.
But nice, as those who remember me in those times would say." He said
"Many things come to my mind about that, but caution keeps me silent of
them." We grinned at each other. I said "I just did some research. As
you know, there are charities which donate money to help maintain and
rebuild places like this in this country. Drepung was denied much it
would have qualified for, because they had not demonstrated the will to
do anything with it." He said "Research?" I said "I couldn't ask the
people who would know, because they are asleep now. So, I read their
records. My ethics allows me to do that, of public institutions." He
said "Ah."
A Lama came out to meet us, and we did the usual polite things, and
he led us inside to meet with the Abbot of one of the schools. We sat,
and did more polite things. I said "I have seen some damage here." He
said "Yes, there is still much to do in repairs." I said "Other things
are more important?" He said "Yes. We must educate our people in many
things the Chinese demand of us, and then uneducate them of that, and
educate them in our ways and knowledge. That takes up almost all our
time." I asked Rhamcha, "Does Sera have this problem?" He said "We do,
but we do not do the middle step. We find that ignoring the results of
the Chinese education is sufficient, because our people have no use for
it, and it soon leaves their awareness." I said to the Abbot, "Directly
opposing or suppressing knowledge, causes deep conflicts in the mind,
resulting in many disturbances, including reduction of general learning
ability and industriousness. If your ways cannot replace Chinese ways
of their own merits, then there is something wrong with your ways, or
how you present them." He felt insulted and angry. Rhamcha said "We of
Sera have found this to be true." The Abbot didn't really appreciate
that comment.
I said to the Abbot, "Your Monastery is in disrepair and decline.
Sera is not. It is evident they are doing something right, and that you
are not. Do you dispute this conclusion? If you do, please provide some
evidence to the contrary." He slumped in his chair, and said, "I cannot
provide evidence to dispute your statements." I said "There are things
you can do to correct this situation. I know you have the ability to
think of them. My question is, do you have the will?" He said "I am
old. I do not know if I can." I said "Then there are two possibilities.
You step aside for one or more of you who can do this, or I will see to
it that this establishment is closed and shut down. You are harming
your students, and disgracing your country. I will not allow this to
continue indefinitely." He was surprised. Astounded, actually. He said
"How would you do that?" I said "You should know of some ways. My own
way, if I had to do it, is simple. You know about my way of er,
traveling?" He nodded. I said "I can do that to other people, and
objects. ANY reasonably solid objects, including entire planets. What I
would do here is simple. I would transport all who are in the buildings
to a different place, and then transport all the buildings to fall into
the sun. There would be nothing here to give evidence that there ever
were constructions. I will actually be doing that to some Chinese
things here, when the time is right. I already told the President I can
do that, after he asked about my chair crushing. Soon he will see the
proof. Do YOU need proof?" He said "No, I believe you."
He said "May I have time to confer with my people?" I said "How much
time do you need?" He said "A week?" I said, "You will have it. I
suggest you consult with Sera. To this end, would you allow me to give
them a recording of this conversation?" He said "But you have no means
of recording." I said "I can transfer my memory of this to a medium
which can be read by another. Here is a recording of my time at
Shaolin, recorded by one of my students. This is her memory. No, she
wasn't there. She can see anything she wants to, anywhere, as I can,
and monitors my activities for the record." I gave him the crystal, and
told him how to use it. He put it to his head, and said, "Wow!" Rhamcha
said "He hears that a lot." We grinned. The Abbot said, "I would not
like it, but to show you that I do want to help, I agree to the sharing
of the recording." I said "Here it is for you, starting of the moment
we appeared here." We stood and bowed to each other, and Rhamcha and I
walked out.
I said to Rhamcha, "We have a problem. If he contacts Sera, it will
be to fellow Abbots. He might not receive much help from them. Also, if
I give your Abbots a crystal recording, or if this Abbot tells them of
the one he has, your Abbots will know about the one you have, and will
demand to read it. It won't work for them, and that will cause some er,
issues." He said, laughing, "ISSUES?" I said "I have a habit of making
some slight understatements." He laughed some more. He said "I would
tell them the truth, that it contains some private things we have
discussed, of such a personal nature, that you wanted it kept private."
I said "Eventually, they will discover you have been sharing it with
your fellows." He said "Then I will tell them that I never said how
private." I said "I think you might have been learning a little too
much from me." He laughed really hard. I said "Rose just said she
agrees with me, but approves of you, and that is a rare thing." He
looked really embarrassed, and I grinned, which made him more so.
I said "I would like to meet with your er, associates. Or maybe I
should call them my fellow conspirators." He laughed and said, "Any way
you call them, they will come." I grinned and said, "Well said. Now we
have to decide how. If I appear in Sera, your Abbots will know, and
come to me. Do you want them present at that meeting?" He said "No. I
see the problem. If you would transport us all to another location,
they would notice that, and be a cause for even greater concern." I
said "I could tell the Abbots I didn't want them at the meeting because
the younger people wouldn't speak freely with me in their presence.
While it is true, the Abbots will do all they can to learn what was
said, which would be disruptive." He said "I know you. You have
something unusual you are leading up to, and are giving me reasons to
agree with you before you present the solution you have already
devised." I said to the air, "Rose, have you been coaching him behind
my back?" We both heard her laughter. I said "I could transport all
involved to a different location, and transport them back a second
later. In between that, we would have hours available for discussions.
We will be in a REALLY different time zone, where we will experience
time at a different rate. The Abbots will sense the event, but will not
know the cause. It will be interesting to see what they will do about
it, if anything. If they pry too much, you can tell them to talk to me
about it, and I will make them wish they didn't." He laughed.
I said "We will have the meeting after I finish exploring around
these places. I want to give all concerned time to think and debate
their thoughts, before they get to argue them with me." He said "That
will be very interesting." I said "It had better be. I don't want to
waste the time we won't be using." He laughed, and said, "Language
doesn't know about what you do." I said "Wise of it." He laughed some
more, and I gave him my love.
