Solomon's Private File #191
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 23 in this story, in the Fall of 2049.

I gave my meeting with the Kurds to the various media orgs, with
translations. It played a lot, and drew a lot of favorable comment. But
to me, the comments about what God said, were most interesting, in that
there were so few, and those were mostly to say they already assumed
that. The President of China asked to see me. I ported to his office.
After polite things, he said, "We appreciate your mention of us in your
last er, action." I said, "Been watching?" He grinned and said, "We
have a staff just for analyzing what is known about you. I suspect that
other nations and groups have the same." I said, "Reasonable. I would
do the same in their place. And for all major government leaders in the
world." He said, "Yes, we do that, too." I said, "Makes your
psychologists feel a little dirty?" He laughed, and said, "They have
not admitted it, but I think so." We shared smiles. He said, "We have
discovered that in each of your major actions, you use a different
theme, and they build on your past themes." I said, "I think I'm going
to have to disappoint you in something. Do you assume I have some
brilliant master plan that I'm carefully following?" He said, "You do
not?"
I said, "The Situation Manager talent is one of our most rare and
prized abilities. I was the best at that. But I have gone beyond it. I
don't need to think of those things, now. I just do. I say what I
should at the time. I'm beyond knowing, beyond planning. I live in what
can be called the no-mind state. So little self, I see beyond the veil
of reality, where all is one, and one is all. This is something of what
enlightenment is." He was shocked, and took some time to think it
through. I said, "With my extra mind talents, which includes a vast
array of perceptions and powers, I am much beyond what enlightenment
is, compared to those who are enlightened who don't have these powers.
And with my close ties to God, I'm even beyond the others of my group
who will become enlightened. I don't think I would want to be with your
special team on me, when you give them this." He grinned and said, "I
would." We chuckled. I said, "Include some pain medication, and hair
restoration therapy?" He laughed.
I said, "Much of what I do is directly influenced by God. I can feel
his will moving me. My choices to do the actions aren't all mine. Not
that I would oppose his will. I can't." He said, "And God has moved
others to cause you to do some actions. Those waring aliens." I said,
"Yes, and others like that I haven't reported. Annoying, actually. He
could have told me directly, rather than have me discover them. What if
I don't notice what he intends?" He said, "He can speak to you in
words?" I said, "Oh, yes he can! In fact, it's those words, and the
unpredictability of them, that has me reluctant to invite him to do it.
At least in public." He laughed. I said, "I think I've embarrassed
myself enough." We said our farewells, with smiles. I gave him some
recordings.
I met with the Republican Senator. He said, "Some in my party are not
said, "You've got it. I'm staying. They'll just have to accept me as I
and said, "Well said." I said, "Have you considered the middle ground?"
He said, "Go on." I said, "The current Pope played the critic with
inside insight of my father, to his fellow Cardinals, all the while
manipulating them away from being emotionally critical of him. Even so,
if we hadn't had a danger watch on him, he would have been killed." He
said, "Oh! Well, it's something to consider." I said, "But you couldn't
get my future plans. I don't have any. I just do what I should at the
time." He said, "I don't think I'll ever understand that." I said,
"You're in good company. It's an enlightened thing. Only ones who can."
He said, "I should look into that." I said, "Oh no, it's not
Christian!" He smiled, and then looked thoughtful. He said, "Was Jesus
enlightened?" I said, "First to ask, is first to be told. Yes." He
said, "Wow! So you don't have to be Buddhist." I said, "What am I,
chopped liver?" He had to laugh.
I said, "The woman in Sri Lanka who became enlightened was Buddhist,
but she didn't study or practice it, like most people who claim a
religion. So, it wasn't caused by a specific religion, but by who she
was, and how she lived her life. In fact, she didn't realize that she
had attained enlightenment until I told her. Big surprise of the best
kind." He said in wonder, "I agree. But she died." I said, "It was her
time, and I was there for that. I gave her, her most wished, impossible
to her expectations, gift, before that." He said, "That she was
enlightened?" I said, "No. She didn't know that was possible, so she
couldn't wish for it. She and I knew she was going to die soon. I gave
her the gift of doing that in the loving arms of my mother, the person
who she had most wanted to meet in the world." He cried. I said, "Mom
didn't know. She cried too, in happiness for her, and for the great
honor of the service she gave to a Buddha. A lot of my work isn't fun.
Painful at times. But times like at that in Sri Lanka, I treasure above
all." We hugged with love. I ported away.
I asked Mom and Hawk to meet me at Kam's residence in Lhasa. Kam took
the lead, and said to them, "Please join minds." They did. She then
said, "And now as one, join with me, and I will take you on a different
journey of the spirit." She did, and they were filled with amazement.
Then I said, "And now, as one, you will all join ME, and we will go
where there are no words." When we all came back as separate
individuals, Mom and Hawk were too full of wows to say anything. After
a while, they looked around and noticed that there were some bigger
auras present. I said to Kam, "Your aura is now visible to non
surprise. I said, "Your auras aren't universally visible now, and may
never be, but who knows? They are much bigger and clearer now. All who
can see, will know who and what you are now, even if they never see
your auras. You've changed. Some things you did in the past, are not
what you will do now, and things you wouldn't have thought of, are now
part of you without thought. Mom, you will no longer want to terrorize
ship captains, but they will have less reason to er, encourage that."
Awed chuckles. I said, "You both will know love as you have never known
it before. I have to love that."
I said, "There are some issues from this. Hundreds of people in Tibet
are aware of our little gathering, and many of them understand
something of what happened, and the results. My will is keeping them
away, but that will end soon." Hawk said, "Is Kam enlightened?" I said,
"If you can't see that, we should do this again." He said, "Oh. I just
wanted to be sure." Mom poked him, and he laughed. I said, "It's your
choice how the world should know of your advancement, and how much.
Best plan now, before others do it for you." Mom said, "I think Kam
should announce it, and leave you out of it." Hawk said to her,
"They're going to ask him, and he can't lie." She said, "Then he will
say what he should." Hawk nodded and said, "Right." They noticed me
grinning, and realized why. They were thinking as the enlightened
would. We all hugged and kissed each other with love.
I said, "When I leave, they will be free to er, bother you." I left.
Rhamcha asked to visit. He ported in and said in amazement, "All
enlightened at the same time!" Kam said, "It was time. Sol managed
their advancement. When it was their time, they came here for their
Awakening. For that, I allowed myself to Awaken. It was the right
time." He looked at her in awe, realizing that she was more advanced
than anybody in Tibet, to be able to do that, even to see the need for
it. Kam said, "Others wish to visit. Shall we host them?" They all
agreed, and there was a big gathering of Abbots. There was much love
shared by all. It was reported in the news in Tibet, and so to the rest
of the world, that the Dalai Lama, and Rose and Hawk, had attained
enlightenment.
I was asked to comment on CNN. Don said, "It's been reported that
your family members are enlightened." I said with a grin, "I knew
that!" He chuckled. He said, "But all at the same time? Isn't that
unusual?" I said, "In modern times, more than one becoming enlightened
at the same time is unusual, but it wasn't an accident. I've been
managing Rose and Hawk's advancement in this area for some time. That
included them sharing some duties and experiences. At times they were
aware of what I was doing and why." He said, "But the Dalai Lama?" I
said, "Oh, she's been enlightened for years. She suppressed it because
she felt it wasn't then the right time. She was too young. It was the
same for me." He said, "You SUPPRESSED enlightenment?" I said, "Yes, I
did say that. I felt that it wasn't right for a child, that I should
grow up naturally, before accepting enlightenment." He said, "Oh. That
almost makes sense." We traded smiles.
He said, "How will that change them?" I said, "Don't you mean, how
that has already changed them?" He said, "Er, yes." I said, "I'm not
going to tell you. Oh, your expression says what you might not want to
show." He had to laugh. I said, "They will be who they are, which will
be a little different in each situation, just like everybody else. They
can see and understand more, and will operate with that new
perspective, but that won't cause any major noticeable differences in
them, because enlightenment is a gradual process. They have been
changing for years, with all they have experienced and learned.
Although some who haven't seen them in years, might see the difference
from what their memory was of them. Oh, and it does show in their
faces." He said, "Oh. Was that one of the reasons for your disguises?"
I said, "Good job! Yes, it was. My face showed too much that I thought
inappropriate for a child to show, and er, frighten adults. Many
wouldn't have believed my real age, then. Oh, Mom hadn't realized
that." He said, "Wow!" I said, "That was really not what she said." He
laughed well. I said, "To be fair, it wasn't for lack of intelligence.
She raised me, and couldn't see me as others did, having seen me become
who I was, so gradually. She just sent me some kisses." He said, "You
do love each other." I said, "With who we are, well, that's who we are,
love."
He said, "Can you tell me when Rose started to become enlightened?" I
said, "Yes. She knows now, so it won't interfere with her development.
Some of her experiences that helped her to become enlightened were
mostly the same as it is for most people, and started when she was
young, and later when she worked as part of our group. Almost all of
that contributed to who she is. But for the unusual things, it started
when she first put her love in a crystal for a customer in one of my
father's art gallery shows. It wasn't the doing of it that caused it,
but the reason for it. It's not like doing it in a world love
broadcast. It's the personal connection that causes the spirit to
evolve in a special way. Her next significant step on the path of
enlightenment was when she did the bomb consequences. The sacrifice of
experiencing that, changed her. She could have made the feeling of that
less for herself, but didn't, because it wasn't fair and right. It was
her choice, when she didn't know it would help her progress, but did
realize after that, that it did. I should say that enlightenment isn't
a set thing. There are degrees. There is always more to experience, no
end to the path of enlightenment. And you don't have to be of any
particular religion to become so. And what I said about Rose, is much
the same for Hawk, but a little taller." He was confused for a second,
then smiled.
I said, "One more thing. The same for them, is in general, and
because they are very close to each other. We all have our own paths to
enlightenment. What helps one, might not help another. Life gives all
you need, and there is much more if you look. It's the looking, and the
learning of it, that is unique to you, that makes who you are. It's
your choice what you do with it. Be good, be generous, be wise, and you
will be the best of humanity. I was asked recently, if Jesus was
enlightened. Yes he was. Being like him, is definitely not a bad
thing." I signaled the end. Don said, "Thank you very much, Solomon,
for this enlightening visit." Then we were off air. I said, "You
planned that exit!" He said, "I have to admit it, yes I did." I said,
"Well done. Oh, I see it just hit you." He said, "Right. I don't know
why I never asked! It should have been an obvious question!" I said,
"If you didn't know before, you know now, you can't kick yourself in
the butt, while sitting with it." He chuckled and said, "True."
He said, "Can I add a question?" I said, "Sure, if you don't mind
strange answers that might not be for the public." He nodded and said,
"Was Hillel enlightened?" I said, "Yes he was." He said, "So you became
enlightened when you remembered that life?" I said, "That was when I
was twelve. I became enlightened when I was eleven, and then suppressed
it. I wouldn't be surprised if that life had influenced me,
unconsciously. I had remembered some fragments of past lives since I
was ten." He said, "Was it some event that triggered it?" I said, "Yes,
but the place and people involved make it so it can't be known to the
public." He said, "Can you make us private?" I said, "You know I can,
but you would really want to share this, and not being able to, well,
masochist?" He said, "Please." I said, "I'll do it in projection. But
first, the setup. Until I went to summer camp, I had very little
contact with regular people, and almost none with regular children.
Camp was a BIG eye opener. Oh, and you might recognize the hill we
talked on, from my father's stories." He said, "Oh!"
I showed him my interactions with the bully at camp. He was amazed.
He said, "I think I see something about what enlightenment is. You
didn't know where the boy was, but you knew he would be where you would
be when the time was right." I said, "Almost. I didn't know. It was
just part of me and the world. Enlightenment has a different kind of
knowing, that has to be experienced to be understood, and then it's not
the same understanding." He said, "I don't think I'll ever understand
it." I said with a smile, "Oh, but you will. If not in this life, then
in a future life. It adds up." He said, "Do you know which life?" I
said, "If I did, I wouldn't tell you. It's not good for us to know the
future that we have to work to make happen. Yes, I know. Wisdom can be
very frustrating." He sighed, and had to smile. He said, "I haven't
seen you like this in person before. The enlightened teacher." I said,
"You haven't asked to. The best learning is when it's very desired." He
said, "Hillel." I said, "And others, yes. Strangely, he's more popular
in the world than ever before." We grinned at each other. We hugged
with love.
I sent a part of me to Benares in India, with my reality set to be
seen only by people who were, or were about to become, enlightened.
There was a very old almost naked man down by the river. I said to him,
"I am Solomon. May I sit with you?" He said, "Please. Why is it that
others here are not looking at you?" I said, "Only those I want to, can
see me, and that includes my aura as well. To them, I am actually not
here. No, I am not an illusion." He said, "You can change reality." I
said, "Yes. And you can see something of my doing it. That's why you
can see me, and they can't." He said, "Am I enlightened?" I gave him a
big grin, and said, "Now, yes." He said, with his own grin, "I knew.
The joy of the world is inside me. Did you cause this?" I said, "You
were ready. My unusual presence, and your desire to see more, was the
last push to set you to awaken." He said, "You knew." I said, "If I had
actually thought about it the old way, I would think I was crazy for
coming here for no reason." He laughed. We shared love.
I said to him, "Do you see that man there?" I cast a yellow glow
illusion for him, over the man. He said, "I do. He is ready for a
teacher, who is me." I said, "And you need?" He said with a grin, "A
student! You are the Master of the enlightened!" I said, "And can still
be embarrassed." He laughed. We stood and hugged with love. He went to
the man and sat with him. So was the start of new enlightenment.
