Solomon's Private File #229
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 26 in this story, in the Spring of 2052.
Solomon's Private File #229 "Working Originators"
START Page
I was asked to see the first Originators I had met, in the other
galaxy. One of the leaders said, "The man with the damaged mind has
become disruptively irrational. He is confined. We request that you
heal him." I looked and said, "Yes, I'll do that. He won't remember the
cause of the problem, or have memories of his er, odd thinking. Done.
Somebody should explain to him what happened." She said, "Thank you!"
We hugged.
I said to that man's stone, "How did it happen?" It said, "You
suspect. I may have watched too closely his attempt to open the
package. I have before, to no ill effects. I don't know if I caused the
problem, but I have to admit it's possible." I said, "Show me how you
did it. He won't be aware of this." He did. I said, "How would you feel
if I said that did cause the problem?" He said with emotion, "I would
feel very badly!" I said, "So I won't say that. Next time, do it this
way." I showed him. He said, "Thank you!" I said, "So now you know some
of the bad things they say about me aren't true." He said, "I don't
know of any bad things about you." I said, "Oh. Then I should try
harder." He said, "Except about your humor." I said, "Ha!" We shared
amusement.
King stone relayed to me, "Emergency! An originator ship is caught by
a neutron star." He told me where. Strange dimension. I couldn't use
the 4th, 5th, or 6th dimension controls there. Intense gravity of the
neutron star made them unreliable. I said to my stone and the king,
"Don't connect to me, and don't watch. I'm going to try something
different. You could get caught in it. Got it?" They said they did. I
made a special presence there, an interplay of energies and twisted
space, a kind of wormhole that had a variable time in it. I pointed it
at the ship, and it was sucked into it. My perceptions went in with it.
I shifted the warp to break out into another dimension. Then I
suspended its time. After 247 years, I released the time freeze, and
ported the ship to its intended destination in its original timeline.
I said privately to the king stone, "All done. You tried to watch. If
I hadn't kicked you out, you would be er, gone." He said in absolute
awe, "Did you do what I think you did?" I said, "How do I know what you
think?" He said, "You don't?" I said, "I didn't say that." He said, "I
thought so. You couldn't use your usual controls in that gravity well
in that space, so you used something with time!" I said, "Well, there
wasn't much time to work in. Ha! You're trying to find out from the
stones in the ship. They don't know." He said, "I thought I was doing
that in a way you wouldn't notice." I said, "So don't think that." He
said, "You are being frustrating." I said with amusement, "I know. Do
you really think I would hide a technique from you that you could use?"
He said, "Oh. You were trying to be gentle about it. Thank you. Still
frustrating." I said, "For me, too. Almost went wrong in a few places.
Could have made a very big mess, but I don't know exactly what kind. I
might not try something like this again." He said, "That would be
wise." I said with amusement, "I'm not THAT wise." More amusement.
I received a big God package. I opened it in secret. VERY strange
math! I felt some of my abilities increase, and added to. Then I
understood where some of those feelings that had caused my actions,
could have come from. Then I saw I could hold the entire active Earth
in my mind. I knew everything that happened, down to the smallest
subatomic particles. Then I extended that to the whole solar system.
What had prevented me from doing that before, was that I didn't have
enough understanding of time. I thought to myself, "So this is how God
sees things, but infinitely extended." I linked that sense to a special
partition, and set another to extract from that what I wanted to put my
action attention on.
I focused my attention on the Originators in the surrounding
galaxies. I saw that one group were about to have a problem. I felt
conformation and approval from the Boss. I shifted to the planet, using
a body that was compatible with their environment. They stared at me. I
said, "I am Solomon. People from another galaxy have been exploring in
this one, and have noticed traces of your activities. To date, they
haven't understood what they were seeing. Here's what they look like.
What do you plan to do about this?" Silence. I said, "Besides
breathing. And er, blinking. What are you, statues?" One said, "Who are
you!" I said, "I told you. I'm Solomon." He said, "Who do you work
for?" I said, "God. I'm his Senior Agent." He said, "I didn't know
there was anybody senior to us." I said, "Now you know. And that God
package you just received, should confirm that." He said in surprise,
"We are ordered to obey you as we would Him!"
I said, "Yes. So, please answer my question. How will you solve this
problem?" He said, "Please tell us all the information you have." I
said, "It's too much for speech, and you could not withstand a direct
transfer from me. I will do it in something like a God package, but
easier for you to work with. Who shall have it?" He indicated himself
and three others. I gave it to them, and they were very amazed.
Shocked, actually. At my power, which was set at the bare minimum for
that. He said, "Even from God, it wasn't fully real to us that you were
our superior. We have no doubt now!" I said, "As long as it helps you
to do what you're supposed to do, fine." They discussed some options.
One said, "We can only do what we know how to do. May we know of what
you can do that we can't, to aid us in planning?" I said, "I won't
bring people back from the dead. All else are possibilities. Better to
tell me what you want to do but can't. I see that frustrates you. Not
unusual in working with me." Chuckles. I said, "I can't tell you all I
can do, because you wouldn't understand most of it, and wouldn't
believe the rest. Hmm, that didn't help much." Hidden smiles, with
nods.
One said, "Could you remove their memories of our activities?" I
said, "Yes, but only under extreme conditions. You don't get that easy
solution so early in this, and maybe never. I would remove yours,
before theirs. You are servants of God, not them. We SERVE intelligent
life!" They looked at me with reverence. My stone said to me, "Wow! I'm
not understanding most of this, as you now, but what a privilege to
witness this!" I gave him a rude noise, and he laughed. One looked
thoughtful. Another was going to speak, and I motioned her to silence.
After a minute, he said, "They have to have a cause that isn't us, and
that doesn't show the reason for what we do." I nodded encouragement.
He said, "A wild thought." I said, "Some of those are great. Couldn't
hurt to explore it." He said, "If they encountered a giant space
traveling plant that was depositing things on planets. Reproductive
things. Animal level intelligence, and aggressive." I said, "And to
what results?" He said, "To frighten the explorers, to make them leave
this galaxy?"
I said, "That wouldn't do it. But with my help with projected
about the actual animals?" One said, "Space ships in disguise?" I said,
"Wouldn't fool their sensors. But if I make those sensors show what you
not close together. It will take time to construct our disguises and
travel to where the ships are." They looked at me expectantly. I said,
"Do I have to do ALL the work? Oh, alright. This monster good enough?"
I showed them something like a giant squid. They all said, "Wow!" I
said, "I hear that a lot." Chuckles. I said, "What are we waiting for?"
They were excited, and they worked fast. There were four available
ships in orbit. They briefed the astounded crews, who also caught the
excitement bug.
I said to them, "We have the design. We need more. Animals have
attack and defensive capabilities. Wrestling ability isn't enough to
scare anybody. How about missiles that break on impact, that have a
black corrosive fluid in them? A creature like this lives in water, and
does shoot a black ink." They liked that. I said, "And four ships
aren't enough. We want a whole swarm. Frighten their skins off of
them." Chuckles. I said, "Use the ships close. I'll make active
illusions of the swarm." One said, "What if they come back?" I said,
"That's my job. Yours is just about what's in this galaxy." They looked
at me in more awe.
I did almost all the work. I ported the ships into place near the
first explorer ship. They went visible, and attacked. I made their
sensors think the ships were alive, and they felt fear. More so when
the swarm illusion appeared. They ran. We chased. We broke off. I
ported the ships to the other explorers in turn, to the same results.
All that took just a week. I wasn't there all the time, only showing up
periodically, mystifying them. It was simply impossible to them that I
could port to and from a ship in string drive. It was. I didn't port.
At the end of that, I ported the ships back to base. I said to them,
"The explorers won't stop until they are back in their own galaxy. Then
all there will have a fear of this galaxy, but not so they are
conscious of it. They just won't think of exploring this one, until
your work here is finished." One said, "The WHOLE galaxy?" I said,
"Correct." She said, "You could have done this all by yourself."
I said with a grin, "True." She said, "I'm confused." I said, "I'm
not an Originator. You are. You are to help life evolve. I am to help
YOU to do that work." She said, "Oh. I see. We have changed. You are
here to help us more than I thought." I said, "Can't complain. Was fun,
wasn't it?" She said, "It was!" I said, "There is joy to be had in
work, if you look for it. Now you can. Please announce to all, that in
five minutes I will broadcast my love to you all." She did that, with
energy. Then I did it. God joined us and said, "Solomon is my Senior
Agent for all time and space. Obey and love him as you do Me, for he
acts for Me." He said to me privately, "You made good use of your new
abilities. Well done, and with style!" I said, "Thanks. I had fun,
too." We shared love. I ended the broadcast. I said to those present,
"Some of my work like this is NOT fun for me. For this exception to
that, I thank you. Friends?" They practically yelled, "Yes!" I grinned
and said, "Farewell." I shifted away.
My stone pushed a lot of love at me. He said, "I heard what God said
to you, but I don't know what abilities he referred to." I was silent.
He tried to growl. I said, "Improving." More frustration, with a little
amusement. I said, "This might make it worse. Most of me you can't
perceive. Don't! You wouldn't survive the attempt." He said, "Can the
biggest stone see more?" I said, "A little, enough to frustrate him
even more than you." I had to laugh at his feelings, and he had to join
me.
He said to me, "You don't need me." I said, "True. None of the
organic people really needs any of your people. So?" He said, "I'm
confused." I said, "None of us can exist only to satisfy needs. Even if
we knew what all of them were. Desires are part of all intelligent
beings. Having them is a need, even though achieving them isn't
necessary for life, but some ARE for full health. We each help each
other to be healthy in spirit, by having purpose, companionship, and
love. Not complaining are you?" He said, "Not at all! Thank you for the
clarification." We shared love.
