Stephen's Secure Blog #226
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 just outside of Sera. There were three
extra people there. I went closer, and they rose. I greeted the new
people by their names. They were a little surprised. Rhamcha said to
them, "You saw that in the crystal. Why are you surprised now?" I said
"Because they are human. Our nervous systems respond to reality more
strongly than to any thought or learning." They bowed in
acknowledgment. We sat together. I was silent. The new men were
restless. Rhamcha smiled. I grinned. The new men smiled nervously. One
had the courage to break the silence with, "Are you Maitreya?" I said
to Rhamcha, "Has this been a topic of your discussions?" He said "It
has." I said "I am disappointed that topics other than what I
requested, take up time from what is most important for this land." One
of them said to me, "He told us you would would say that." They nodded.
I said "In this life, I am Stephen. It's just a name, with no special
meanings attached to it. I like that, because I am who I am, which is,
as it is for everybody else, a unique person, and cannot be described
by any label of man. Maitreya is a concept of a kind of person, and is
therefore different to each who thinks about it, as shown by the
various traditions which are not in agreement with each other on this
topic. As you have just experienced, reality is different from thought,
and much different from history. I know because I have lived it. Many
people have claimed to be Maitreya. I do not claim to be anything but
me. It has been said that I am a Bodhisattva. There are different
definitions of that among the traditions, and one even denies they
exist. I can only state what I know of me and my experiences, in regard
to that, which I have done in the crystal. One more thing. It is said
very strongly that Maitreya will come after the Dharma is forgotten on
Earth. That is not the case today." Rhamcha said "I think that is the
end of that topic." I nodded, and said, "Is there another?"
One burst out with, "Sex!" I said "Right now?" They looked confused,
until Rhamcha laughed. I said with a grin, "Perhaps you could be a
little more specific?" He said "Yab-Yum. Isn't that about sex?" I said
with a bigger grin, "For many, everything is about sex. In a different
way, it actually is. The biological purpose of life is to continue it,
either in extending individual life, or by creating new life. Sexual
reproduction is a good way of doing that, and for us, not at all a sad
thing. We could not exist without it. Ask your parents. How can one
progress in spirit, without understanding and embracing this vital
concept?" They thought about it for a while.
One said "Does this mean we have to do it?" I said "Not necessarily.
We contain within us the ability to appreciate the duality of it, but
as you should now know, reality is a much stronger teacher. But then we
would have to define what physical sexual practice actually is. Is
masturbation, a sex act? Children do it even before they are aware of
sex, and apes and monkeys do it. So we know it is a very natural thing,
despite what some people want to believe and stop other people from
doing, while they keep doing it themselves. There is sexual activity
between boys, and between girls. That is also natural, and is thought
so in many cultures, and considered suitable for the punishment of
death in other cultures, even though it helps prevent unintended
pregnancies, and helps to create a more loving community. And then
there is sex between man and woman, the ultimate union in this life.
Sharing of love is beautiful, and physical sex with another should not
happen without it, or your spirit will suffer. For many people, sex and
love are the same, or very closely related. For them it is partially
true, until they have children, and discover what true love is. The
important principle of Yab-Yum is; you cannot progress to
enlightenment, and there various levels of that, without love. I am
love. I know this more than any other." I glowed and wrapped them in my
love. After that, they had tears in their eyes.
I said "When you can feel love for another, and there are different
kinds of love, you will know a difference in you. A joy enters your
life, which you had not had before. Things look brighter to you, the
world is nicer. You will find a new excitement and peace. Tell us
Rhamcha, am I correct?" He looked surprised, and said, "I didn't know
until now, what I did have, unknowing. Yes, I know personally, you are
correct. You knew." I nodded. Rhamcha grinned and said to the others,
"He seldom asks questions he doesn't know the answers to. The way of
The Master Teacher!" I said in mock disgust, "Giving away my secrets,
and right in front of me. What has this world come to?" He laughed. The
others were still in shock. I said to Rhamcha, "I think this is enough
for them today. Too many shocks too close to each other can cause
damage." He went with him to the Monastery, and came back to me.
I said to Rhamcha, "Have you ever had your chakras aligned? Your
Third Eye is open, but there is something which may be improved in it."
He said "No, I haven't." I said "I'm disappointed in your school. It
should be done regularly to all who can't effectively manage their own
energy systems. Will you allow me to do it for you?" He said "Please!"
I said "Then lie down here. I should tell you that some people can
become aroused in the process." I began. When I got to his Third Eye, I
gave it some repair and stimulating energy, and it flared and settled
into a more powerful configuration. He did get a boner, which I
ignored. I said "Done, and there is improvement." He sat up and said,
"There is! I can perceive more, and more clearly." I said "This could
not have happened if you had not felt love." He said, "I am a little
confused by that. I love you, but you are a man!" I said "I am aware of
what I am. You mean to say that you think you should only feel love for
a woman?" He nodded. I said "What of love for a parent? For a child?
For a close friend you would die for, rather than see injured? Real
love has no restrictions, no boundaries where it may not go. It doesn't
require sexual attraction, family ties, or even friendship, although
they often accompany it. Love doesn't have rules for its existence. It
just IS. For you, loving me is just the start. You will love others,
and the more you love, the more you will be loved. That is NOT a bad
thing." He had tears in his eyes, and said, "I feel that is all true. I
DO feel the joy you said I would. I feel the desire to share this with
everybody!" I nodded and said, "That is part of love." I hugged him
with all my love, and he melted and really cried, and then jumped when
his boner squirted.
He pulled away, and was embarrassed. I said "That's perfectly
natural. It was awake and looking for any excuse to do that, and found
it. I'll clean up things." I did, and he was surprised when all
evidence of it vanished. I said "Sometimes our bodies will do what they
do, even if it isn't our intent. It's best not to oppose that, and just
enjoy it as another part of life. I know it didn't hurt!" He had to
grin. He said "Correct as always. I am tempted to try it again." I said
"Doing things only for pleasure, can become a trap, anchoring you to
the Earth. Doing useful things, which bring pleasure, is a good thing.
Doing what just happened as part of exchanging love with another, which
is very good, makes it a good thing. Do you understand all I am
saying?" He said "I think you mean, mutual masturbation with somebody
you love, is actually good." I said "Not only is it good, it can be
used to start love, and increase love. I think you are smart enough not
to need me to tell you that." He nodded. I said "I just ask that you
don't go telling people I said they should squirt all over their
friends ALL the time. They might get the wrong idea." He laughed, and
said, "I understand. Love is the reason." I said "Love is the reason
for everything, in my opinion." He said "If it isn't, I think it should
be." I said "I can't argue with that!" We exchanged our love. I said
"You have really improved. That was much stronger than before." He said
"I think so, and I thank you very much!" I said with a grin, "It was
our pleasure." He laughed.
I said "Ready to visit Ganden?" He looked down, and said, "Ready." We
were still laughing when we arrived in front of the Monastery. It was
still slowly being rebuilt, from being totally destroyed. A Lama came
out to meet us, and I greeted him with his name, which caused some
surprise, and a suppressed grin from Rhamcha. We were led inside, to
see the Abbot. He was only middle aged. We did polite things in his
office, and sat together. I said "I see you are still rebuilding." He
said "It is so, and a very slow process. We have little time for it,
with teaching our students, including what the Chinese make us teach."
I said "How do you manage that part?" He said "We teach, they pass the
tests, and then we forget it." I said "That works. I will ask the
President to remove that requirement. It isn't accomplishing its
primary purpose; to make you into their image, but it IS accomplishing
one of the other purposes, by limiting your growth. Not that I will
mention that part." They grinned. The Abbot said, "Will he obey you?" I
said "He might. He has before, on a small thing. The relevant question
is will HE be obeyed? He wasn't, before, yesterday at Jokhang." He
grinned and said, "I heard all about that. The whole country has.
'Properly ignore' is going to be a very popular phrase with us for a
LONG time." Rhamcha laughed loudly. I poked him, which made him laugh
some more.
I said to the Abbot, "Do your students still have time to debate?" He
said "They do." I said "May I provide a topic?" He said with interest,
"What is it?" I said "Which is the REAL Ganden Monastery, and should
those not at this one have a say in how this country should be?" He
grinned really wide, and said, "That is not a new topic for them, even
though it has never been assigned." I said "I was aware of that." He
said, "Oh, I see. We will do that, and make it official. You are moving
us toward your goal, for WE who are here, and you want all to know
that." I said "Yes. Perceptive of you. I like that." He bowed. I said
"If they come back, where would you put them?" He said "That is a
problem. We can't accept them. We have not enough room." I said "That
could be er, changed." He looked really interested, and said, "For the
maker of The Wheel, all things are possible." I said "Not all, but a
lot more than is usually expected. Let us discuss what you would need."
We did, a lot.
I said "I can do much more than that. Would you like to have heat in
the winter, without needing to burn precious wood?" He said
"Electricity?" I said "I could do that, with a never ending amount of
it, but not while the Chinese are here to want to examine it. Instead,
I will make the heating system so they can't determine the source of
the power. The floors will heat themselves as needed, regulated by the
temperature in the room, automatically, without using any discernible
power. Is that satisfactory? After they leave, I can give you a
generator to run the electrical things in the older buildings, which
uses no fuel." He said in awe, "More than satisfactory!" I said "Your
rooms for living don't have electricity. Should they have that?" He
said "No. A simple existence is less distracting from their studies." I
said "What about light?" He said "They use candles. Do you have an
alternative?" I said "Not one which would pass Chinese inspection
without bad questions. However, those of your students with a fully
open Third Eye, should be able to produce all the light they need."
"All of them? Here, only a few are able to." I said "Who among the
people here has the weakest ability, of those who have fully open
Eyes?" He told me, and I examined him. I said "He is capable of
learning that simple skill. When I have more time, and after the
Chinese leave, I will see if I can do something about that, for all of
this country." He nodded his thanks. I said "If you wish, I can build
what you want as soon as all people are away from the areas I would be
working in." He looked surprised, and said, "How long would it take?" I
said "I have built it in my mind while we were discussing it. All it
needs now is to set the process of doing it physically, in motion. The
speed of that action is limited by the speed of my mind, which is so
fast you couldn't measure the time, and the speed requirements of the
materials. Moving them too fast could damage them." I told him who
should be moved away, and he sent messengers to accomplish that. When
it was done, I said "It is going to be a little different from how you
thought of it, because I will not be using things which have to be
mixed and let dry, such as cement and plaster, and paint. The windows
will be, er, very different. So will the doors, because I don't use any
wood or glass. Each student room will have provisions for two beds and
two desks. and will have three movable chairs. So, would you now like
to go see what I have built for you?" They were surprised, and
practically ran out the door. All the ruins were gone, and in their
place, and a lot more covering the surrounding hills, were student
dorms, classrooms, and meeting halls, mostly out of different colored
carved jade. The carvings represented the life of The Buddha, and the
lives of other people who were famous in Tibetan history, and a lot of
their writings. There were no carvings inside the dorms and classrooms,
but the meeting halls were full of them, and large statues of The
Buddha, and other accessories.
The Abbot and his people were crying in happiness, and in awe of the
beauty of my creation, and the speed with which it was built. When they
were calm enough, I took them to one of the student rooms. I said "The
materials for most of the buildings are different kinds of jade. The
doors and windows are made of different colors of crystal, much
stronger than glass. They pivot in the frames, with posts top and
bottom. Here is how they work." I showed them. I said "The chairs are
mostly of titanium, a light but very strong metal, and heavy enough not
to move when you don't want them to move. I made the bedding materials
like your students already use. Those bars over the windows can be used
to hang curtains. The space here, is set up for clothing and other
possessions to be stored. If any of this is not satisfactory, I can
make any changes you want. Well, when you have recovered enough to
speak." I waited.
After a while, the Abbot said, "There are no changes I want to make.
This is wonderful beyond words. I don't know how to thank you." I said
"There is a way. Do your best for your students and your country. That
is all I would ask, and all I should ask." He cried some more, and
bowed deeply.
We returned to my pavilion. I asked Rhamcha, "Do you have any
questions about what I did at Ganden?" He said "I do not. You poked at
China again, rebuilding what they had destroyed, saying to them they
will not be allowed to destroy us, because we can and will rebuild. You
sent a message to Drepung, showing them what they could have, if they
deserved it. You sent a message to Ganden in India by making Ganden
here large enough for their return, and causing a motivation for that
by the open topic to be debated. You energized the Abbot to be more
than he was. It was all planned. I think you knew all of this, and the
needs, before you came here, now that I know how much you can see." I
said "Some, yes. It's the people I came here to find out about, and in
a way, use. The actions I take are from what I learn about them. I did
not know that in advance. Another poke at China is I do different
things in different places. I am unpredictable in that, which really
irritates them." He said "Good!" We laughed. I said "And usually doing
greater every time, which has them very concerned where that will lead,
and makes them VERY nervous about the full extent of my power. Rose has
been putting movies of what I have been doing on the internet, and they
have become VERY popular in the viewing ratings. There are now ametuer
reporters who are following my every move, when they can discover them,
and posting interesting comments on the internet." I showed him some,
after translation.
I said "This causes me to offer you something. Would you like to have
the English language?" He said "Have it?" I said "Yes. I can give it to
you, if you want it, by direct transfer. It's like how the crystals
work, which I actually invented for that reason, so we could store and
transfer knowledge which we were doing by direct transfer." He said
"Yes, please." I said "For somebody with your abilities, and my skill
and practice, the process would take very little time, and a only a
little time for the new language to settle down and work well. How many
languages do you think I know?" He said "Hundreds." I said "Yes, and
many are not human. By the way, what language are we speaking?" His jaw
dropped open. I said "Want me to close that for you?" He laughed. I
said "Check out the blue jade." He said "I can read the English words
now!" I said "Naturally. When I do something, I try to do a good job.
When the Chinese are gone, we might do something with teaching some
things from crystals, such as languages." He said in awe, while crying,
"I really hope so!" I hugged him with all my love, and he got a boner,
but he didn't pull away.
I said "That happens often among my students, and so does what is
needed to take care of them. When we feel as others do, intensely as we
do, it is only natural to do that. There are other parts of the way we
live, which promotes that. We do not wear clothes in our homes. Why try
to hide anything, when we can and do see all, without eyes? Being so
few, and so different, makes us very lonely, so we try to never sleep
alone. Being comforted through the lonely darkness of the night, in the
arms of mutual love, is something nobody should miss. We do not
discriminate in that, between gender or sexuality, or even compatible
alien species. All is love, and love is all. I think you have had
enough for today. You have much to think about and debate. I will not
be here tomorrow. I will be in Thailand practicing for a musical
concert I will be staring in, in a few weeks. At that event, I will say
for the first time in public, my support for a free Tibet. After
tomorrow, I will be back. Farewell, my brave friend." I stood and
ported away
