Solomon's Private File #307
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 29 in this story, in the Fall of 2055.
Solomon's Private File #307 "Resistant Bacteria"
START Page
I shifted to a planet in a different dimension, The environment was
compatible, so I looked like me, including aura. The women in the lab
stared at me. They looked mostly human, with curly yellow and red hair
on their heads, and tufts of the same kind of hair on the backs of
their hands. I said, "Greetings. I am Solomon." One said, "Who are
you?" I said, "I think I just said that. What are you doing with that
virus?" One said, "It's secret! Nobody's supposed to know about this."
I said, "Nobody? Really? Not even you? If that's how you normally think
and communicate, it shouldn't surprise anybody that you're making some
bad mistakes." She said, "We did NOT make any mistakes." I said, "Do
you believe that it was impossible for you to make a mistake?" She
said, "Well, no, not exactly impossible." I said, "Really? Why else
didn't you check for them?" Another one said, "We checked!" I said,
"Not everything. What didn't you check?" One said, thinking, "The
different transmission rates?" One said, "Wait." She turned to her
computer terminal, and did some biological calculations. That took only
a few minutes. She turned back to us, looking sick, and said,
"Uncontrollable in the wild."
I said, "The problem with biological weapons, is they're biological.
That makes them not fully controllable." She said, "We already told
them we succeeded. People are celebrating. The resistant bacteria was
to be eradicated." I said, "Another self created problem. Use too many
drugs improperly, you make them adapt to resist them, with natural
selection." She said, "Yes. You know about this. What can we do now?" I
said, "You know you have to change your report. There is another
problem with your virus. It's not specific enough. It will kill
beneficial bacteria, too, harming the digestion of your people, and
some big food industries." She said, "We thought we could contain it,
to keep that from happening."
I said, "There is a solution, but believing it, and confirming the
results, will not be easy." She said, "Please! What is your idea?" I
said, "Did any of you see me arrive?" One said, "I did, in the
reflection of this instrument. You just appeared out of nowhere." I
said, "Imprecise language for a scientist. All things are somewhere."
She smiled, and said, "I have to agree." I said, "But you are also
correct, if you limit it to the whole of what you see of my body. It
didn't exist until I assembled it here from scavenged atoms. Yes, I can
move things with my mind, and through other spaces." One said, "But I
can see your aura! You must have a soul." I said, "I do, but it's much
too big to fit into just one body. I put a little bit of me into this
body, to make it live. See if you can see where this could help with
your problem." One said, with excitement, "You could remove all the bad
bacteria!" One said to her, "Functionally, maybe, but how would he find
them?" I said, "I need to know where the atoms I want to use, are,
before I make them into a body. They're a lot smaller than a bacteria."
She said, "You really can do this, or you wouldn't be saying all this."
I said, "True. Convincing you scientifically, is not easy. Your bosses,
and the general public?"
She said, "Yes. Impossible!" Nods. I said, "With what you know of me
so far, probably. Unless some of them are insane." Smiles. I said,
"What if I were to cure all illness on this world, and replace missing
organs and limbs?" She said, "If you could do THAT, they would have to
problem with that, is for the few minutes while it's happening, well,
you don't want to be doing anything dangerous at that time. Traffic
accidents would require a little more work." Hopeful smiles.
One said, "We should go tell them." I said, "I will not let you be
harmed." That earned something of their attention. We went to the main
lobby of the big research building, where there was a party happening.
She said, "May I please have your attention." They didn't hear her. She
said it louder. They just waved. I said to her, "Speak to the green
circle, and they would have to be deaf not to hear you." She did that,
and all the partygoers stopped in shock. The other labtechs grinned.
She said, "We have been helped to discover that we were in error. Our
bacteria attacking virus can't be effectively controlled, and being
that it isn't targeted narrowly enough, if released, it would cause
severe damage to the world ecology."
The major owner of the company, said, "But we already sold it!" She
said, "They will have to be told." He said, "Not without some proof
you're right." She said, "That's easy. You already know it's not
narrowed." He nodded. She said, "A simple oversight on our part. We
didn't think to calculate reproduction rates in different hosts. We
only did it for people. When that was brought to our attention, we did
that. The slightest escape in the wild, and the world would be in big
trouble." He said, "But we'll take all proper safety measures!" She
said, "YOU personally?" He said, "Oh. I see what you mean. That bad?"
She said, "Yes. Do you think I LIKE telling you this, the error I am
responsible for?" He said, "But what can we do? The public will murder
us." A lot of nods.
She said, "The person who advised us to check, mostly against our
wishes, has offered a solution." She pointed at me. He said, "Who's
that?" I said, "I am Solomon." He said, "Where's your ID? How did you
get in here without one?" I said, after porting to the other side of my
tech friends' group, "Something like that." After he recovered, he
said, "Teleportation?" I said, "That's what I just did. That large
plant has a some carbon in it. May I use that in a demonstration?" He
said, "Yes." It vanished, and in my hand was a small diamond. I walked
to him and gave it to him, and said, "The rest was mostly gas. Trace
elements are in the pot. A few years ago, one other, something like me,
used all the wooden conference tables in an attacking fleet of
spaceships, while in hyper drive, to create a large diamond tree in the
conference room of the flagship. They were a little surprised."
He said with interest, "Did they stop their attack?" I said, "That
time, yes." He said, "Do go on." I said, "He warned them against doing
that again. They did, to a different star association, so he did what
he told them he would do. He transported all the people back to their
home world, crushed their ships, and put them on one of their moons,
spelling the words peace and love. Which was also all over their
uniforms. They were a little unhappy, but very decorative." Some grins
and awe. He said, "What is your proposed solution?" I said, "I would
remove all this particular offending bacteria from this world. There is
a little problem with that. How do you convince people that actually
happened? After this little er, situation, how much is your word going
to be worth?" He said, "I understand. Do you have a solution for that?"
I said, "I'm still here, so, yes. I could cure all your people of
illness, and replace missing organs and limbs." He said, "My people
here?" I said, "All on this world. Take a few minutes. They will notice
that." He said, "Yes they would!" I said, "But there's a problem with
that, too. Kind of disruptive while it's happening. You don't want to
be doing anything dangerous right then." He grinned, and said, "You're
still here?" I said, "Not only can you see, you've got a brain!"
Chuckles.
I said, "I could speak to your political leaders, all at once with my
mind, but we want a decision this year." He said, "You do know
politicians!" I said, "I've been told with some admiration, that what
I've said to some politicians were the best insults they ever heard."
Chuckles. I said, "I could tell every adult on this planet what I plan
to do and when. But for those who are asleep, I will not be responsible
for any strange dreams from that. Unless they involve me in something
pleasurable." Laughter. I said, "So, being the only people I've met on
this world, what do you think? Should I do that?" He said, after
looking around at the nods, "I see it's a yes, if you don't involve
us." I said, "No, I'm going to have to tell them why I'm doing it, or
they're going to keep asking you for the virus, not trusting that it
won't come back." He said, "That's true. You think well." I grinned,
and said, "Thank you."
He said, "Er, how intelligent are you?" I said, "It can't be
measured." He said, "But we could measure the pathways of your brain."
I said, "That wouldn't be useful. There is no brain that can hold even
a twenty millionth of my mind." He gulped, and said, "Are you God?" I
said, "No. Senior Agent, yes. He'll be assisting in the healing if
needed. If so, you'll be able to tell when He starts. So, ready for the
mindtalk?" He said, "Better now, than later." I said, "Absolutely!"
I extended my mind to cover the world, and then the whole system. And
then to all their people anywhere in the galaxy, in space ships and on
different planets. I said in their minds, waking some of them up,
"Greetings. My name is Solomon. All of your species, no matter where
they are, can hear and understand me. There is a deadly bacteria
called, 'menson', that has become resistant to medication intended to
kill it. A virus was developed to do that, but it is too dangerous to
use. I have destroyed it. In two days at this time, I will heal all of
you. That includes all illnesses, and replacements of missing organs
and limbs. Voluntary body modifications will not be changed, unless the
individual wills that during the healing. All of menson will be gone
from all environments, including inside bodies, in the galaxy. I
suggest that you arrange your schedule to avoid being in a situation
where you would be in danger if you were to be distracted. Car crashes
are NOT amusing. You people were using bacterial killing medications
improperly, and so caused menson to develop resistance to them. You
keep doing that, you will soon make your species extinct. I will repair
this situation ONCE. You cause it again, you will have to suffer the
consequences as a failed species, and the Supreme Being, who I work
for, may turn his attention away from you. This time in two days. Be
ready to be healthy. I give you my love." I did that, and then stopped
the broadcast.
The leader of the friendly techs, said, "Wow!" I said, "I hear that a
lot." They made some strange noises. I said to the boss, "So, what do
you think?" He said, "That should work!" I said, "Politicians?" He
said, "Oh. Yes. They WILL want to know what they will never be able to
understand or accept." I said, "Wouldn't that be just about
everything?" Laughter. I said, "They're going to demand proof of my
existence. It's been said I have a twisted sense of humor. Some things
Wider grins, and nods. I said, "Oh, good!" Chuckles. I said, "No answer
with your office phone. They're going to be calling your personal phone
soon. Like now." It rang. He answered, and said to the angry voice, "We
didn't do anything. The man who made the announcement, of a different
but not ugly species, is still here, expecting his bad opinions of
politicians to be verified." He pulled the phone away from his ear. I
said, loud enough to be heard, "And it's happening. You on the phone!
Be nice, or you will be inconvenienced. Oh, so you don't believe me?
Yes, I did that clothing vanishing thing. Better not open that door.
They will NOT like what they will see." Laughter. I said to him, "Not
learned your lesson? Need a little reminder? Oh yes, I obviously know
your written language. You don't like the words, well, you made them
true. They will fade from your body, as you improve your attitude." He
disconnected.
I said to the group, "He's discovered a new use for window
coverings." Laughter. I said, "I see the question. No, a bad attitude
is not an illness. I hope he doesn't make his heart problems worse
before the healing. Yes, he has one, at least organically." Chuckles. I
said, "He's sending police to arrest me. Or trying to. His desires
don't seem to be able to convince them that I've committed a provable
crime, even though I actually have. I am on this planet, as they
understand it, illegally, which isn't true. I made this body of atoms I
found on this world. However, I did destroy private property, but the
owner hasn't complained about it. Er, yet." He said, "We won't." I
said, "Thank you."
I said, "So, do we have a desire for some proof of a more permanent
nature, here?" He said, "Er, that diamond tree sounds interesting." I
said, "The other one was smashed, and the pieces sold. I kind of don't
like art to be destroyed." He said, "We could say it was quartz." I
said, "No person is permitted to lie to me or about me. There is a way
to make it of diamond, but protected. Problem with that, is it couldn't
be moved." He said, "How is that a problem?" I said, "It will stay
where I put it, relative to the center of this world, until this world
no longer exists." He said, "Wow! I said, "That word is going to get
quite some exercise. So, want it over there?" He said, "That would be
good." I said, "I hope." Then it was there, fully colored. I said,
"Nothing can move or harm it. Even withstands insults." More wows.
After they spent some time admiring it, I said to the boss, "Sometime
soon, you're going to have some unpleasant visitors. I dislike my
friends being inconvenienced because of me." He said, "We're your
friends?" I said, "Yes. Very few assignments where I've met so
intelligent and pleasant people as you are. Difficult to believe your
politicians are the same species." Laughter. I said, "The spot on the
trunk of the tree below my name? People who touch that will see in
their minds a recording of this action, updated as it happens. Save you
from having to explain it. Will give those who need it, a lesson in
biology and medicine, too." He said, "That's good!"
I said, "Now we have some choices to make. I could leave now, or stay
and participate in the arriving fun." Grins. I said, "I don't have to
be a telepath to know that you're thinking. Wishing hard, actually."
One said, "Er, Sir, are you a telepath?" I said, "I used to be, when I
was limited to one body. Now, I just know what I should know, and for
actions like this, well, I probably shouldn't tell you. I prefer
friends, not worshipers." Boss said, "I understand. You're very
communication went to all of your species in the galaxy, and only
them." He nodded, and said, "You would have to know all in this galaxy,
at least." I said, "People usually refuse to understand what 'all'
actually means." He said, in awe, "Literally?" I said, "I am unable to
lie. So, yes, every particle that makes up the particles that make up
atoms. All the energy, including some that will never be known to
science. Every thought. Every memory. And yes, every bad smell, too."
I said, "Be ready. Military is coming to repel an alien invasion. For
interest, may I change into one of your species?" He said with a grin,
"Please!" I did that. Then the military came in and demanded to know
where Solomon was. I said, "I am Solomon." The commander said, "But
you're supposed to be an alien!" I said, "Are you ordering me to be an
alien?" He was confused. I said to the boss, "That's the military for
you. Mentally paralyzed without the right orders." Commander said,
"You're under arrest!" I said, "No I'm not. You aren't the police, and
you have no warrant, so you can't arrest anybody. Want to know why the
police aren't here and doing that?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Because
they know that no provable crime has been committed, and refused to
follow the politicians' illegal orders." He said on his comm, "Sir,
there are no aliens here. Yes, there is a man called Solomon, but he's
not an alien. And he said there's no crime, and that's why the police
aren't doing this. They refused to follow illegal orders." I said,
"Would you arrest God if he came here?" He said, "Are you claiming to
be God?" I said, "No, but I'm the next best thing, as his Senior Agent.
I did the mental broadcast. Seems your politicians don't want your
people to be healed." He repeated that word for word to his general,
who asked for proof. I said in their minds, "This proof enough?" It
was, and they left. I said, "I spoke in their minds, and they
recognized me from the big broadcast. What just happened was broadcast
on all media channels. SOMEBODY is going to be in trouble, and not just
naked and readable." Loud laughter. I said, "Well, he abused that
curtain." More laughter.
I said, "I'll be leaving you now, so you can actually do some work.
Er, whatever you do here. Any made up problems, I'll know. Wouldn't you
like to know what more interesting things I can do to politicians?
Well, so would I." Chuckles.I said, "For friends, I ofter my personal
love." I held out my arms, and they had no problem accepting my hugs.
Standing up after, yes. I shifted out. There were no more problems
there, but the diamond tree did make the news, and the government
scientists' frustration in not being able to chip off a sample, and
even greater frustration in not being able to discover why. When one
wanted to use a laser on it, I said in the air, next to his ear, "Are
you crazy? Do you have any idea how refractive diamond is? Want to
drill holes in people, including yourself?" He looked around, and said,
"Where are you? Who are you?" I said, "I am where I am. I'm Solomon. I
made this tree, and I made it unchanging, so people like YOU who so
disrespect art, won't be able to damage it. How would YOU like to have
parts of YOU taken for analysis without your consent? Hmm, that's an
idea. Where should it come from? Here?" I poked him on the arm, and he
screamed. I said, "Did I touch your volume button? Better get that
repaired." Word had passed quickly, and the rapidly forming crowd
laughed.
I said, "Perhaps another place. Here?" It was his butt, and he jumped
high. I said, "I didn't know you were that athletic. Did you?"
Laughter. I said, "There's a little problem. Cloth fibers in the way. I
know, I can just remove that problem." He said, "No! Alright, I'll
stop!" I said, "The people here are going to be disappointed that their
entertainment is going to stop. We know you can jump. Can you dance?
Sing?" He said, "I'm leaving!" I said, "Really? You're still there.
Need a little help?" He yelled, "NO! Leave me alone!" I said, "As you
left my tree alone? When you learn to respect the property of other
people, those people just might give you some respect in return. Ever
think of that?" He said, "I do what I want!" I said, "Obviously! But
you might consider changing what you want, which could actually help
you to get what you want. For a nicer and more responsible man, I would
have freely given a sample of what I put into the tree. I might even
have explained how I did it. But for you, no, and this you caused
yourself. So, do you really make what you want, happen?"
I said, "You wrote a book on religion, among other topics, but you
obviously don't believe what you put in it. You disrespect the
Lawgiver's words with much of what you say, and how you act. You're
thinking by what right do I have to say that? Don't be stupid. You
tried to damage my work. Now you're thinking I must be some kind of
mind reader. I don't have to read minds. I know all that God knows of
this world. This galaxy, actually. From the smallest particle that
makes up matter, to all the kinds of energy, to every thought and
memory, and all of the past, and some of the future. Oh, there you go
again. I am unable to lie. So you refuse to believe somebody you can't
see? Can you see God? Well, you don't believe in Him, anyway. If I show
you something of me, it will be a little dishonest. I am entirely a
spirit. I don't need a body, but I make them like I made the tree, to
use to meet with people. At this instant, I'm using over three million
bodies in different dimensions and galaxies. There's a lot of work to
do. I said this more than two thousand years ago, which in your
language would be something like this. Don't do to others, what you
don't want them to do to you. If you want to be closer to God, follow
that rule. If you don't, you will make very unnecessary enemies, who
will make what you want, not what you get. Do you have the intelligence
to understand that reality?"
He said, "You really work for God?" I said, "Yes, but you don't have
to believe that. Think. Isn't what I've said to you, what He would
say?" He thought a little, and said, "That's true." I said, "Think only
of yourself, and you think alone. Think of others, and they think and
feel with you. There is power in numbers. Power to make each in it
better, and closer to God. That's very much not a sad thing. The spot
under my name on the tree will have a recording of this conversation in
it that can be read in the mind by touching it." He said, "Would you
tell me, is there life after death?" I said, "I hear that a lot. There
is judgement after death. From that, one may reincarnate, or if very
advanced, join with God, or go to a special area where that soul will
experience what it needs, but that's rare. Before I became as I am now,
I lived over a thousand lives, and in some of them, I was advanced
enough to remember some past lives. Now I am unable to die. When God
wants me to join him, He will make it happen. And this as I am, is not
a gift, but a curse. I will exist as this, and more, until the end of
time, which doesn't actually end as you might think."
I said, "It's time for the broadcast." I started the connection to
all in the galaxy of that species. I gave them my love. I discovered
that I didn't need God's help to do the healing as he would do. Sadly,
I had advanced some more, to that level. It was actually easy, using a
small part of my mind in speed time. God still joined me, and added a
few instructional touches here and there, mostly involving brain
repair. He felt my love. I removed all of the target bacteria. Then He
said to all, "Solomon is My Senior Agent for all time and spaces. None
will ever equal him. Love and obey him, as you would love and obey Me.
We are Truth!" Then He added to my love, and said privately to me, "The
younger, you are, but becoming less younger. I am proud of you." He
almost drowned me in his love. Then He left. I said to all of them,
"That was God, the Supreme Being. May you strive to be worthy of His
love." I stopped the broadcast.
The laser scientist was in absolute awe, and very regretful. He said,
"Solomon! I Apologize with all my being! I doubted you. I shouldn't
have." I said to him in the air, "It's not the messenger that's
important. It's the message. Always. If you have a good message, share
it. It's your right. Your privilege. Your duty. Go with God, and he
will be with you. Farewell, all." They felt my withdrawal. Well, I gave
them that feeling. I updated the recording in the tree, and included
the God contact. I kept my other presences from reacting, or showing
any change in me, which was profound. But life, such as it is, and
really odd for me, goes on. There is always work, and some of it is
interesting, even fun. Yes, I can still feel that, so this isn't really
all that bad. I can feel His love continuously now. That's not bad at
all!
