Solomon's Private File #395
These stories about Stephen and Solomon take place starting in the
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 33 in this story, in the Summer of 2059.
Solomon's Private File #395 "New Home Visit"
START Page
The oldest boy of the recent rescued children wanted to talk with me.
"So you know a little more than you expected." He said, "I sure do!
You're like God!" I said, "Actually, er, yes. But I talk more. A lot
more." He laughed, and said, "I think you do. But on other worlds? I
didn't know they existed!" I said, "Well, the people on them do know.
Some think they are the only people. Some have a lot of worlds." He
nodded, and said, "People say you can be in more than one place at a
time." I said, "Most people know not to lie about me. They're correct.
I'm in millions of places now, with different bodies for different
environments. That's why I was given the ability to do that. Most
intelligent people out there don't live in places WE could live in." He
said, "Oh! That's very interesting." I said, "I sure can't argue with
that!" Grins.
I said, "It's interesting and fun to talk about these things, but
aren't you avoiding the real reason for this visit?" He said, "You
know." I said, "But you need to tell me. Doing that, putting words to
your thoughts and feelings, helps to clarify them. Sometimes, doing
that also shows you the answers." He said, "Everybody says you're wise.
I have to agree." I said, "Embarrassing me doesn't change that." Grins.
He said, "Sexual things. A boy here masturbates!" I said, "The first
issue in that, is, has he given you his permission to violate his
privacy in this very personal matter?" His mouth dropped open in
surprise. He said, "I did a bad thing! I have to apologize to him right
now!" I said, "Wait. Let's discuss it more. Did he try to hide what he
did from you?" He said, "A little, I think." Does he know you know?" He
said, "Yes." I said, "Did he tell you to keep it a secret?" He said,
thoughtfully, "No." I said, "Two reasons for that. He may have assumed
you would keep it secret as a normal privacy issue, or family privacy
policy, to not tell outside of the family. I know that's how you were
raised. Or, he didn't care who knew, and maybe didn't think it would be
significant for anybody to care about it."
He said, "I'm learning something more than you're saying. I need to
think about things before I do something to make them worse." I said,
"Most people never learn that fully." Grins. I said, "Next, we should
discuss why you think it's of significance." He said, "It's a bad
thing!" I said, "Why is it?" He thought for a while, and said, "Well,
it's in the Bible against it." I said, "Do you know where it says
that?" He said, "Er, no." I said, "Good reason for that. It doesn't.
People used to think it did, in misreading a part of the Bible about
Onan, but the hints don't mean that. Now, the major religions are not
against it. Right, not even the Catholics. They don't even consider it
sexual. Well, children start doing it as soon as they discover they
have hands, before they can even see down there." He was embarrassed,
but had to grin. I said, "What say we call him in here to discuss it?
Oh, I see. Think of it for you as safety in numbers." He said, "I trust
you. I agree." The boy opened the door and walked in, and sat.
I said, "We've been discussing masturbation." He grinned, and said,
"I wasn't careful enough. I knew he would be shocked. I'm sorry."
Micah, said, "You tried to hide it, for ME?" He said, "Well, yes. I
care about you. Kind of restrictive, though. Not much opportunity to do
it now." Micah said to me, "Do you approve of it?" I said, "Not for or
against, basically. Like saying if I approve of walking. The good of
it, is you prevent making accidental messes in your sleep. Sticky
smelly laundry that everybody knows about, might not be the most fun
thing to show." Laughter. I said, "Can also make less some things that
er, point to your interest in people." More laughter. I said, "Unless
you want to tell them it's a cucumber." More laughter. I said, "But the
Chuckles. I said, "Here's something that would make people feel really
strange about. It's good for mental and brain health. Right, it doesn't
just exercise the body, but does more for the brain than just about any
other activity. The last part of it, actually, called the orgasm." They
said, "Wow!" I said, "That's after." Chuckles.
I said, "The bad of it, is if you get a little too intense with it,
you might need a little first aid. Abrasions. That can be very
embarrassing to have treated." Grins. I said, "And it shouldn't take up
too much of your time. It's not a really productive activity, if you
don't count grunts and groans, and a shaking bed." Chuckles. I said,
"There is another benefit, that could shock you again." The other boy,
Boyd, nodded. I said to him, "Should I tell him?" He said, "I'm a
coward." I grinned, and said, "Well, yes." He chuckled. I said, "I'll
say it plainly. A penis doesn't care who's hand is being nice to it.
Sharing is good for friendships." I said to Boyd, "Bet he didn't think
he could be that surprised?" He said, "I don't know. I just hope he
doesn't freeze like that. Who wants to watch him sleeping sitting up?"
I chuckled, and said, "Good one!" He said, "A lot of us really like
your humor." I said, "I sure can't complain about that! Competition is
fun."
Micah said, "Homosexuality is wrong!" I said, "What's wrong about
it?" He was confused. I said, "Beginning to understand that what you
can't explain, might not be rational?" He nodded, mutely. I said,
"Major sexual orientation, which means what a person feels most
sexually attracted to of other people, is a biological feeling, that
doesn't change much over a person's life. People are born the way they
are. Homosexuality is an orientation in that people are sexually
attracted to their own gender. It's neither right or wrong, just as is
liking or disliking chocolate, and is not controllable, or even a
choice. But eating chocolate, as an action, IS a controllable choice,
and so is any sexual activity. Homosexuality is not mentioned clearly
in the Bible, but a hinted homosexual action, is. Two and a half times,
actually, and maybe another." Boyd said, "Please explain the half
part." Micah said, "Yes, that's strange."
I said, "It is, actually. It has to do with who wrote the different
parts of the Bible, and why they did it. No, God didn't do it. He
doesn't have hands, and he sure doesn't have a printing press, and
translators and editors. People do, and wherever people are, they want
to change things to suite their desires." He said, "Oh! I'm thinking
some very unusual thoughts. The Bible isn't real!" I said, "Part of it
is, and so is a lot of the wisdom in it, and Moses, Solomon, Jesus, and
some others, were real people, but none of them rote what's about them
in the Bible. But let's get back to the story. Judaism has a Bible, and
it existed in different versions long before the Christians used it to
make the Old Testament in their Bible." Nods. I said, "And you know,
they didn't leave it alone." Nods and grins. I said, "For this issue,
it was actually that they were prudes, and didn't want to get too
specific about sexual things, not because of revisionist ideals. In the
Hebrew Bible, it's hinted very broadly that Ham, son of Noah, raped his
father, who was passed out drunk. Noah woke up and realized what
happened, and cursed Ham and his descendants for all time. He was
REALLY annoyed, and not just for the rape. In those days, more than
now, the father was totally respected, in ways that would be very
excessive now. That's why he was so upset. In the Christian Bible,
those hints were toned down so much, you can't see from that what fully
justified the extreme cursing."
Micah said, "Oh. That makes sense. There's very little of actual sex
in the Bible. Just they they did it a lot." I said, "That hasn't
changed. But you missed one. My song." Boyd grinned, and said, "That's
almost X rated." Micah said, "Your song?" I said, "I was the first
Solomon." He said, "Oh!" I said, "The second time homosexuality is
mentioned is in the camp at The Mountains of Sinai. The party got out
of hand, and men were lying with men, as they would with a woman, and
being a bad thing, along with the rest of the partying." Nods. I said,
"Next mention is in Leviticus; 'Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as
with womankind: it is abomination.' Then it states those people who do
that should be put to death. There are a lot of issues with that. It's
in the section about sins, and how to resolve them, but it doesn't list
that as a sin. Because of that, scholars now think it was put there,
and some other things, to differentiate the Hebrews from the Canaanites
and Egyptians, who were presumably doing that, and I can say actually
were. One thing everybody should assume, the gays sure didn't write
that." Grins. I said, "Minorities throughout history were and are not
allowed to write the laws they are made to obey. Most people do what's
called 'cherry picking' in the Bible. It means they pick and choose
what they want to believe in from it, and disregard what they don't.
Modern Christians don't follow most of what's in Leviticus. But Jews do
more of that."
I said, "Next, is Romans 1:18-32. It's about God's wrath on
unrighteousness. Strong words about uncleanness, and lust, and vile
passions. Paul wrote more like an Old Testament raging ranter, than a
Jesus supporter, who would never have said anything at all like that.
Well, that's who Paul was. He mentioned men leaving the natural use of
women, and burned with lust for one another, and men committing what
was shameful. I have a lot of problems with that, as written. First,
different translations disagree on some of the words, even leaving some
out. And then the 'proper USE of women' is to ME something vile. I've
been a woman many times. Proper use should be what THEY decide, not
men. Paul mentioned something unclear about women doing things against
nature, too. Then at the end, he listed a lot of things, including
sexual immorality, boasters, yes that's there, and unloving, and even
disobedient to parents, and more unlikely things, but the strangest
thing in that rant in that passage, is being unmerciful is included in
being bad, and then all those who do any of that are deserving of
death. He condemned HIMSELF with that! What could be more unmerciful
than what he showed of himself?" They said, "Wow!" I said, "There are a
lot of conflicting opinions on the different translations, but the last
paradox convinces me whoever wrote that must have been drunk out of his
mind then." Grins. Boyd said, "Did he?" I said, "No, he didn't. He said
some of those things, but not all at the same time, and really not so
stupidly." Boyd said to Micah, "Solomon can see all of the past, and
record it, and has shown the life of Jesus and Paul." Micah said,
"That's amazing!" I said, "True."
I said, "Some sexual things weren't mentioned at all, such as
masturbation, and nothing about children doing anything. And it really
doesn't do anything to define what a sexual act IS." They both said,
"Oh!" I said, "Not a good thing leaving that out. Would cause more
interest in it." Grins. I said, "Read the Hindu holy books, you don't
need to go camping to put up a tent." They laughed loudly. Boyd said,
"Hawk?" I said, "Loudly." He said to Micah, "Solomon is the leader of
people with some amazing talents. They can port like he can. They can
talk mind to mind. They watch each other to make sure they don't do
anything wrong. They call it monitoring." I said, "And for learning.
Hawk is my uncle. One of his most noticeable specialties is laughing."
Grins.
I said, "Now to why homosexuality was considered to be a bad thing
with ancient Jews. It's all about cleanliness." Nods of awareness. I
said, "To them, the natural world was ruled, completely ruled, down to
individual raindrops, by God. That's not something we can relate to as
modern people, or even understand it as they did then. They had no
concept of disease and what caused it. They considered anything bad to
be God's punishment for doing something bad. Often, that was the only
way they could determine WHAT was bad." Micah, said, "I understand!
Being clean meant less disease, and so anything that wasn't clean was a
sin, and was punished." I said, "Worse, it was the whole group that as
punished. Drought sure isn't very individualized. So, they had to have
very strict laws from God, just to survive as a people, in their
understanding of things. Use of the back door is obviously not clean.
More so for desert people with not a lot of water to wash with. So,
that's how that got listed as being bad, along with eating scavengers,
such as pigs and shellfish. But Paul stopped those food rules, because
Gentiles just wouldn't give them up. Shows you how much he really
valued what was in Leviticus." Micah said, "This is an important
education! Does the world know this?" I said, "It's available, and they
know that, but they don't care. People believe what they want to
believe. Whatever makes them feel good, right, and important. Anything
to support their personal views against what they dislike. Reality and
good thought are not important to them. I disagree with that." Grins.
I said, "The Catholic Church has ruled that homosexuality is an
orientation, and not a choice, but that all sexual actions are a
choice, and only allowed for married people, and they allow gay
marriage now as a relatively new thing. They also do not oppose
masturbation, now. Mormons are now mostly in line with that. Most
Christian denominations are the same, with less strong restrictions on
sex outside of marriage, in practice, if not officially. Lutherans are
still arguing with each other about it. Only Methodists care what
Methodists think. Baptists are against it. Mostly. Or not so much, when
they actually think. Don't hold your breath." Chuckles. I said,
"Independent churches, well, they're mostly confused." Grins. I said,
"One more thing about sexuality. What you do, can't change it, so you
can do anything you want, which isn't limited by what you MOST want.
What I mean by that, is there are no pure sexual orientations. That's
right, people have parts of different orientations in them, but most
only pay attention to the most strong one. About 10 to 12 percent of
human males are gay, but about 60 percent of males will engage in some
voluntary gay sexual things in their lives. Now the next issue for you,
is how much should you believe me." Boyd said, "God said it. You're
truth. We know he'll call you on it if you lie." I said, "You didn't
have to remind me." He laughed. I said to Micah, "All graduates of my
school are unable to lie. It's part of who we are. We have to be clear
of mind, or our special abilities won't work right, and we would
probably die. But we can't lie, so it's not a problem." He said, "Wow!"
I said, "I hear that a lot. Hmm, a standard reply in my group." Grins.
I said, "In my offices in various religions, and as an authority in
them and sin, I do have a position on sex. Hmm, I didn't mean that to
be a physical position, like it sounded." Grins. I said, "ANY sexual
contact between people should be an expression of mutual love and
caring. Doing it without love, is harmful to the soul. Unwelcome force
in sex is abuse, and is a grave sin. Involving people knowingly in
something, including something sexual, that is against the law where
you live, without their full understanding and legal consent, is also a
sin. Causing pregnancy without the consent of the other person
involved, is a sin. Doing that deliberately, is a grave sin. Making an
image of the private parts of a person viewable to another without
express permission, is a sin. Disclosing the legal sexual activities of
another person without their permission, is unethical, and is really
not nice! Respect others as you would want them to respect you. Hmm, my
people want me to make that list public." Micah, said, "I agree with
them." I said, "My mother likes you." He said, "Wow!" Grins.
Boyd said, "We had a gay foster child here. A good person. Can I say
grinned, and said to Mica, "Great kisser! No, I'm not gay." Micah said,
"Oh. Men kissing men. I understand." Boyd said, "It wasn't just my lips
he kissed." I said, "Interesting expression." Chuckles. I said, "Still
didn't give your hands a rest." He grinned, and said, "Of course I had
to return something of the favor. It wasn't just politeness. I liked
making him feel good. It made me feel good I that could help somebody I
cared about, to feel good. It sure didn't hurt anything!" I said, "Yes.
I oppose harming people. Er, I hope you two have strong zippers." Boyd
laughed, but Micah was embarrassed. I said to him, "Better get over
that embarrassment, living so close here. If you like a red face, try
some paint." He grinned.
I said, "In my group, we all hug and kiss each other. We're full of
love. We can't restrict it." Micah said, "I've felt it, I have to
agree." I said, "There's more you felt." He said, "I didn't want to
admit it, but I did feel a sexual attraction to you while I was in your
hug." I said, "Good that you could be so honest with yourself. Most
males feel that, and some very straight macho men have er, squirted in
my hugs. And some of them who knew it could happen, wanted it to.
REALLY odd with aliens." They said, "Wow!" I said, "They do say that,
when they recover. For me, it's the ones with fur, that er, feel the
best." Boyd said, "They don't wear clothes. Did you?" I said, "Being
polite, not always. Yes, some of the squirting was mine. Well, those of
my group can feel what others feel." Micah said, "Oh! I see how that
could be!" I said, "Did that jump?" They laughed.
Boyd said, "Can we have a crystal of this?" I said, "Made so it only
works for your family with some age restrictions, and you have to let
your parents read it first. Problem?" He said, "Not at all. You knew
that." I said, "But Micah didn't." He nodded. I said, "Usually, my
goodbyes are physical. We hug, well, you know what I mean." Grins, and
not a trace of embarrassment. Micah was first, and he did ejaculate,
and very strongly. I said to him in his daze, as I was helping him to
sit, "It isn't usually that strong. Lack of exercise, probably. I
expect that won't be much of a problem in the future." Grins. Then
Boyd. He did, too, and loved it. I said, "Cleaning you up. Yes, it's
related to porting."
I said, "Here a crystal. It's got this in it, and a section on all my
father's published shows, and mine, too, and I'll add to them as they
go on TV. It's like books and movies, and you can't forget it. Read it
by putting it to your forehead, and then you can use the index. It
won't work for who it would be too much for their mind to handle, until
they are able to. Should it be made to work for other than those of
this household?" Boyd said, "Not accidentally. If one of us is holding
it?" I said, "And if they agree to it. Yes. There is a special section
on sexual issues that has some non published actions. The identities
are changed, but it could be discovered who the people are. That's
restricted. Those who want to see them, have to agree to the
restrictions not to discuss them where others might know, who haven't
used the crystal, and are not to try to discover who the people are.
This is far from the first time I've talked to young people this way. I
know what you're thinking. Yes, there was some goodbye cleaning
needed." Chuckles.
I said, "Now I'm going to offer something I never have before. Oh! My
monitors are VERY interested in that!" Grins. I said, "Do you like and
respect each other?" They said they did. I said, "If you would like, I
can make it so for a short time here, you can feel what the other
feels, as those in my group do." They said, "Wow!" They nodded. I did
that, and they were very surprised. More so to discover the sexual
aspect of it, that they hadn't known they felt. And some love. I
stopped it, and they were sad. I said, "You will still have the memory
of that. You felt more than you expected." Micah said, "It wasn't just
emotions, but how his body felt, too. That was amazing!" I said, "No
physical secrets, now." He said, "That's true. Can't be embarrassed.
Everybody should know this!" I said, "In some generations to come, most
will. For now, for people who don't have the talent, it should only be
enabled in special situations, and for people who are ready to
experience it without disturbance." Boyd said, "Oh! I think I
understand. Thank you a whole lot!" I said, "You're welcome. To borrow
what you said, it makes me feel very good, to make somebody I care
about, feel good." Grins, and I shifted out.
Hawk said to me, "It's not just what you say, but how, and the
surprise of it. Going to add that to the Corps?" George said, "I want
to know that, too." I said, "Not at this time. In most situations were
it might be thought to try it, it would make things worse. We'll do it
this way. When a Corps member wants to, I get asked. Then we'll see."
He said, "Good. Thanks."
Mom said, "The other kids are going to know you visited there, and
not them." I said, "Right. About two and a half hours, I'll be getting
a call back to mend those fences." Grins. And so it happened. I hugged
them all around. The father said, "The sharing of feelings. Why haven't
you done that before?" I said, "For most of my group, it's not easy to
enable that for others, They would have to relay some of it. I can't
really explain it so you will understand, but I do it differently. Most
times, it could cause more harm than good. In this situation, they were
of similar age and maturity, and in feelings, too, and they were
prepared by the session of making embarrassing things less
embarrassing." He said, "Oh! I understand now. Wise." I said, "My group
needed help in understanding that, too, so don't feel bad about it." He
grinned, and said, "Thanks! I noticed the restriction in the crystal of
the rape actions. Thank you!" I said, "If I tell you a secret from
that, will you keep it?" He said, "You know I will." I said, "Only you
will hear this. There was a special reason for showing the graphic
detail. We had a detector web going that exposed to us, all who got off
on that. We then did some research on them, and assisted in prosecuting
any uncovered abuse. The leaders of the major religions know this." He
said, "Wow! For all humanity, thank you!" I said to all, "You're
welcome. A lot of what I do to help people, won't work if the public
knows about it. I don't need credit, so that doesn't bother me. Love,
well who doesn't like that?" Grins.
I said to the middle boy, "No, I'm not going to do your homework for
you." He was embarrassed. I said, "I didn't need to know you were
thinking that. Who in school doesn't want that?" Grins and chuckles. I
said, "Only you can learn for you. But I can still help you in a
different way. Think of it as a game. You're trying to beat the
teacher. They don't expect you to know everything. Wouldn't it be fun
to make them wrong, at least a little? I loved tests. A challenge. What
are they really asking for the answer? Sometimes you need to answer
what they want to hear, rather than what you know is right. Better to
do it their way in the test, and then discuss it later. But don't tell
the teacher he's wrong. Nobody likes that in front of other people. But
idea!" Micah said, "He has a few." Chuckles. I said to him, "It's MY
job to make Hawk laugh." They laughed.
I said, "Who's for a recharge on hugs?" Boyd came to me first, and
kissed me on the lips. I said, "Pushing the envelope for them?" He
grinned, and said, "Why not? You didn't hate it." The girls kissed me.
Father didn't. Micah said, in the hug, "Maybe later." The youngest boy
did kiss me. The middle boy was very shy, but he did it, and said, "I
liked it!" I said, "That's nice, but telling the whole world that,
and all you know. Use the charity. Make those people feel good for
helping you." Father said, "I hadn't thought of it that way. I was
reluctant. Thank you." I said, "You're welcome." I shifted out.
I did send to CNN my position on sexual things, in text and as a
talking head video, and posted it on the internet. It was VERY well
received, and discussed a lot for what wasn't mentioned, as what was.
It was commented that I liked that. True.
