Solomon's Private File #435
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 35 in this story, in the Summer of 2061.

"True, but what you're doing will make them want to hurt you more. I'll
protect you. Stop, or I'll have to protect them from YOU." He said,
"You can't stop me. Nobody can!" I lifted him up into the air with a PK
envelope that he couldn't use his PK through. I raised my hand in doing
it, so they would know it was me doing it, and not him. He said, "Let
me down!" I said, "You hang around a bit, while I talk to these
people." They ran from me, but hit a soft invisible wall. I said to
them, "It's not polite to leave when an adult wants to talk to you.
Tell me, why were you fighting with er, the yelling boy in the air?"
Some smiled at that. One said, "He attacked us." I said, "After you
tried to hurt him. So, why?" One said, "He's different." I said,
"That's true. Each person is different from all other people. Why don't
you all attack each other, then?" One said, "That's very smart. I don't
know why."
I said, "You did it to make you feel better, more powerful, and not
afraid." Some nods. I said, "But it only seems to work, and only for a
little while. Then you would have to keep doing it, so you could keep
feeling it. Is that a good thing for YOU? Consider the danger you put
yourselves in. Those you attack might be more dangerous than you think.
And they might have some very interesting friends you really don't want
to make angry. And one more thing. You know how it feels when people do
it to you. Do you REALLY want to be the kind of people who actually
LIKE to hurt people?" They all said they didn't. One said, "I'm sorry.
It was stupid!" I said with a grin, "I sure can't disagree with that."
Grins and chuckles. I said, "Please wait, while I talk with Pifer."
I said, "You up there! Ready to come down and be nice?" He said,
"Yes. I'll be nice." I said, "You know I can detect lies. Try again?"
The other boys tried not to laugh. I said, "You might as well be nice,
because you know I can make it so." He said, "Alright, I will." I let
him down. He said, "I can't really control what I think I was doing. I
couldn't stop it when I was angry and afraid." I said, "But you didn't
want to admit that." He said, "Yes." I said, "If you had really hurt
them, you would have felt it just as they did. NOT a smart thing to
do." He tried to be serious and not grin, and said, "Yes sir!"
I said, "All of you were doing bad things because you weren't
thinking about what could happen with that, and who that could make you
become. You're not bad people now, but if you keep doing these things,
you WILL become bad people. How will your families feel about that?"
They were thinking about that. I said, "You can make a good future for
yourselves, or a bad future. Nobody else can do more of that, than you
can. Now I'm going to ask you all to do something. I don't require that
you be friends, but to accept each other as people. Hugging can do
that. Everybody, please line up to hug Pifer." I said to Pifer, "This
will work if you feel love and respect for them as people. They will
feel that with you. Try?" He said, "I will." I grinned, and said,
"Truth!" He grinned in return.
The first one hugged him, and they were both very surprised. That was
noticed. Then they all really wanted to do it, and they were all
surprised. I said to Pifer, "Now you know what we're really for." He
said in his tears, "That's amazing!" We hugged, and he fainted. I said
to the boys, "I'm much stronger than he is in this. It was a little too
much." They grinned. Pifer woke up and wanted to hug again. I said,
"Let's wait a bit on that. Carrying you around is a little awkward."
Chuckles. I said to the attackers, "I'm not going to tell your parents.
I advise you to not tell others. Don't make them think you're lying.
You know they won't believe you." Grins and nods. I said, "If Pifer's
parents agree, he's going away to a special school in a different
country, where he can learn to control what he does that's unusual.
Then he will want to help people as I do, but a little shorter." Grins
and laughs. I said, "You can go now. It's late." They left.
Pifer said, "Really? A special school! Wow!" I said, "A common word
there." Grins. Walking to his house, I said, "Please let me do the
talking. I've done this a lot. Show your parents you can actually keep
quiet for a change." He laughed. I rang their doorbell. An older girl
answered it. I said, "I'm Solomon. I request to speak with your parents
about a problem with Pifer. I see that's not something totally unknown
to you." She tried not to laugh. I said to Pifer, "She looks a little
funny now." They both laughed. I said to Pifer, "Let me guess. You like
to play practical jokes on her." He said, "How did you know?" I said,
"Do you think I was never a boy your age?" He said, "Oh!" I said,
"That's what older sisters are for." He grinned widely, and said, "Did
you have one?" I said, "Unfortunately, no. But my friends did." They
laughed, mostly at my expression.
She led us inside, and then went to get her parents. We were invited
to join them in the living room. After introductions, the father said,
"Our daughter said you're a nice man. Not having met you before, that's
unusual." I said, "Sad, isn't it?" He said, "Oh. I agree. Very. So
what's Pifer done this time?" I said, "You know he's been picked on for
being different. This time it was a lot of boys that did it together.
He defended himself, but things became a little strange and out of
control. I see your caution. I know all about it. You don't have to be
afraid for him. His problem is that he doesn't know how to control it,
and other things he hasn't told you about. It's going to become
dangerously worse, if something isn't done about it. There is a
solution. I have schools that teach what he needs to know."
Pifer said, "Solomon, can I ask you a question?" I said, "Alright if
I answer it before you ask?" He grinned, and said, "Sure!" I said,
"It's sad that being a nice man is so unusual that people are surprised
by it." He said, "Oh! I understand now. I have to agree. Are there any
people nicer than you are?" I said, "That's a judgement based on
peoples' opinions. Very often, people are nicer to some people, than to
others. And all people have to be not so nice, in fixing some problems.
That hurts nice people, but they know they have to do it. When your
parents punish you. You know it hurts them. You can feel it. In fact,
their anger is like a punch in the stomach to you." He had tears, and
said, "Yes! You really know about this!" Mother said, "We didn't know!"
I said, "You couldn't, and he didn't know how to tell you so you would
believe him. Very frustrating, which made it worse. Not surprising he
acted out. I was lucky, being raised by parents who are like him. Most
aren't." She said, "You're like him!" I said, "But a little taller."
Grins.
Sister said, "Your hair isn't red like everyone else's." I said, "I
did notice that. All on THIS world have red hair." Pifer said, "Oh!
Wow! You're from another world!" I said, "Something like that. I see
you have a lot of questions. We don't have time to discuss a library."
Chuckles. I said, "No, I don't need to use a space ship. My advanced
students teleport. That means they move from one place to another,
using their minds, instantly. No, only my students can do that, which
is why they become my students. We sure don't want them to discover on
their own how to teleport to airless space!" They said, "Oh!" I said,
"They can't hear that out there." Pifer laughed loudly.
I said, "Sometimes, very serious things can use a little humor to
make them easier to think about. And I like it." Nods and grins. I
said, "You want to know what we actually do. We protect people from
people like us, because only we can do that. We need to be secret, or
people would be afraid of us, and that would hurt them. And they would
try to kill us. They don't know we can't hurt them, because we would
feel it as they do. And they won't believe that. We do help people, but
not so they know it. You know we would have to. That being nice thing
again." Grins. Pifer said, "Do you know how to fight?" I said, "We all
do. We have to know that, so we can help stop it. And it's great
training for the body and mind. One way that works, is people knowing
we can, causes some of them to not want to fight with us." He said,
"Oh! Good idea." I said, "Thank you for your approval." More grins.
Father said, "Your school is on another world?" I said, "I have a lot
of schools, on a lot of planets. Usually one per galaxy." He said,
"Which one is the best?" I said, "They all are, but there is one that
those go to who have the rarest of our special abilities, that we don't
let others of our kind know about if we can avoid that." He said,
"Which one would he be going to?" I said with a grin, "That one, on my
home planet." I said to Pifer, "Don't they look strange." He laughed. I
said, "That's our original school that my Great Great Grandfather set
up. He was also my father." Mother said, "Could you explain that one?"
I said, "Reincarnation. He was so powerful, he could chose who to be
born again in. Twice, actually." Sister said, "Isn't that God's job?" I
said, "Yes it is. He allowed it. I see the question. He told us that.
God did. That's who we work for." I said to Pifer, "Think I should hug
them now?" He said, "Yes! They'll know." I stood, and we did that. I
helped them to sit. My aura was visible them. He said, "They can see it
now?" I said, "I stopped hiding it from them. That you could see my
aura before they did, is one of the qualifications to come to our
schools. Your parents are discovering something else now. They had some
health problems. Not any more. You will be able to do that, too." He
said, "But a little shorter!" We grinned and hugged.
Father said, "I'm discovering something else now. Pifer is becoming,
I don't know how to say it." I said, "More loving, and free of negative
things. That's how we are, when we can be. We all love each other.
Being that we feel as all do, and have very little privacy among us, we
have to, or we couldn't stand each other." He said, "Oh! That would be
the case. Good supervision." I said, "And that we can see and hear
anywhere we want to, yes it is." Sister said to me, "You have a lot of
schools. You can't teach in all of them. Which one is your favorite?" I
said, "There are two incorrect things in that. I don't have a favorite
school, and yes I can teach in all of them, and at the same time. But I
don't, that much. Too much of me, isn't good for them. I DO teach in
the school where the most powerful students go to. Yes, his." Grins. I
said to her, "Are you going to be a prosecutor?" They laughed.
Pifer said, "At the same time? How can you do that?" I said, "I can
use an image of me, like this." I made one that was transparent. It
said, "We learn to partition our minds, and think in different
independent streams, so these images can be like different people doing
different things, all from one person." It vanished. I said, "I made it
transparent so you could see it wasn't real. I could have made it like
it was the real me, or anybody else. You will learn to do it. You can
do a little of it now. Want to learn?" He said, "Yes!" I said, "Who's
surprised by that?" Chuckles. I coached him to do a projection, and
they were surprised. I said, "Almost everybody can do these things, but
just not as well, so they don't even know they can. Try it." They all
made things flicker in the air. I said, "Most people don't have these
abilities in enough strength to train and make useful. Obviously, Pifer
has." Grins.
Father said, "When will he go?" I said, "Any time. Going to be a
little problem. People will kind of notice he's not around. I'm not
to be other kids from our world?" I said, "Yes, and many others with
red hair. People without fur and scales are very rare as things go, but
not in this galaxy. That's very unusual, but we're really not
complaining. Well, not too much. You'll know what I mean the first time
you hug a person with fur." He said, "Oh! That'll feel NICE!" I said,
"And they'll feel that with you, so you don't even have to ask them
to." He said, "Can I go now?" Laughter.
I said, "My world isn't ready to have people visit that look too
different, just like this one, but we do have a special world where a
lot of schools go to be with others. You'll meet them there. Won't be
painful at all." Grins. I said, "But not your first year. You need to
learn a lot of new things first. Some motivation there, I think." Big
grins by all but Pifer. I hugged him. I said to the parents, "He will
visit here once a month, so people will know he's still alive, and
whatever else he is. Hopefully nice. He won't be demonstrating any
special abilities, or discussing the school. We watch all our students
in these visits, to make sure they aren't harmed, and the other stuff."
Grins.
I said, "Now for something strange." They laughed. I said, "That
always happens when I say that. Anyway, I will know all that happens.
Say my name, and if I want to, I'll answer. No, I won't be watching.
It's not like that for me. I know all." They were very surprised.
Father said, "When you said you work for God, I didn't realize you
meant directly!" I said, "There is only one like me, who knows all.
That wasn't my choice! And I can make any kind of body I need to for a
mission, but this is like my original body that my wife still loves,
and my children prefer. Anything Pifer needs at school, we'll provide,
even copies of what he has here, that he wants there." I said to him,
"No, not people." He laughed. He said, "Can I go now?" I said, "You can
go when your parents say you can go. All our students who have good
parents, are required to be good sons and daughter to them." He said,
"What about sisters and brothers?" I said, "Hmm, that doesn't seem to
be mentioned in the rules." She said, "Wait a minute!" Laughter. I said
to Pifer, "You know. Treat her as you would want to be treated." He
said, "I know." I said, "Make her believe that. Hug her." He did, and
she said, "Wow!" I said, "We really do hear that a lot." Grins.
Father and mother nodded to each other. He said, "Once a month?" I
said, "That's more than usual, but yes, where we aren't to be known to
the nosey authorities. Can't have parents accused of eating their own
children. Hmm maybe I like to surprise people a little too much."
Grins. Pifer said, "Does that happen?" I said, "Not with our students,
like us are murdered as children, by frightened superstitious people.
One time I used that eating children thing to cause people to not do
that. Oh my, were they annoyed with me!" Laughter. He said, "What did
you do?" I said, "I just talked. Want to see? Nobody was hurt." They
did, so I showed the feathertop Monastery rescue. There were a lot of
wows. Pifer said, "You looked different!" I said, "I know that. They
breathe a different kind of air. I had to be different to look like I
was one of them, and to breathe. They are the only people like that, so
I taught two students there. Both were with me, who are now teaching
their own students."
Father said to Pifer, "When do you want to go?" He said, "NOW!" I
said, "Who didn't expect that?" Grins. I said, "He has no real friends
to say goodbye to, but he should. Telling them he's going away, helps
to solve the eating kids problem, better than if well fed parents only
say it. Yes, some have actually been accused of that, or selling them
into slavery, which is not as rare, even in hi tech societies, as one
might think. One of our jobs is to stop that." Pifer said, "I have to
do that!" I said, "I know. We all feel that way. We do it very
carefully, so they never know we helped them. Then we make the slavers
feel what their victims felt. They really don't like that, and try not
to make that happen again. The smart ones. Not many of those." Grins.
I said to Pifer, "You know your job now. Tell the other kids you're
going away to a special school, and it's because you really want to.
Don't make them jealous, though. I'll know. Yes, convenient for me, not
so much for you." Grins and a hug. I said, "I'll know when to take you.
So, get ready for your BIG adventure!" We stood, and hugged all around,
and I shifted out. Mother said to the sister, "You were right. A very
nice man." Pifer said, "I can feel how he is more than you. He's so
full of love, he has to hold it in, or the whole world will feel it! I
know it's hard to believe, but it's true. You know he knows what I'm
saying. He would stop me if I lied. I can't disappoint him!" I let them
feel my love. They had no doubt.
