Everything

Science Fiction

Written in response to: "Write about someone who’s granted one wish. What do they wish for?" as part of Everyday Enchantment with Lynn D. Jung.

You’re an idiot.   That’s what you want?   You’ll be bored out of your mind.   I could understand something like when you get married or have kids or win the lottery or something like that but this is a crazy wish.   Before I print it I want you to stop and think about it if you enjoy learning, I have nothing else to learn ever.   Imagine knowing every single bad thing that was going to happen before it happened and not being able to do anything to change it.   That sounds more like a nightmare and something you’d wanna wish for.   But this is what you want?   OK.   

     I sprinkle the jalapeño powder onto him and tell him to breathe deeply   One might think that the brain will expand with this wish, but he’s smart enough that it doesn’t need to; think concentrated neuroplasticity.  The only constant is changed. The only change is consistency.

      He knows every word in every language you could get 1600 on the SATs and all the points on the ACT.  He knows what’s happening with every speck of dust everywhere in the universe.  He understands how to cure AIDS cancer, but here’s the thing no one‘s going to believe him.  He could conduct double blind and sham control test studies, but everyone else to him is a sham.   Shame is Latin for idiot.   The idea is if the doctors don’t know what’s going on and the patients don’t know what’s going on and only the scientist were behind the scenes that what’s going on the doctors won’t influence the outcome of the test but he now knows the outcome of every test past present and future.   He sees here’s taste, smells and touch just everything at the same time throughout all eternity. The Big Bang was not the beginning of the universe. It was a small tink before the Big Bang.  Remember the song from the sound of music nothing comes from nothing.   The reason is war is population control.  The same reason there’s disease.  It’s about keeping the ecosystem going and cycling like everything else in nature it’s about cycles, but I see the cycle simultaneously.   Stephen King says they never use adverbs. 

     Rev Ann says thought of things and she’s right but the thoughts in the universe are composed of quarks which is why thoughts are things.   It isn’t just about imagination. It’s about releasing the fact and allowing the manifestation to manifest instead of gripping it   I see everything at once   I realize we don’t have a choice, but think we do   Shakespeare said the world is a state and we are actors.  Astrology shows us that the future has already happened. It’s in our charts.  Both of those are true, though I understand   .  

     This isn’t a school or trial.  We are blind puppets.  It doesn’t mean we can’t see. It means that we don’t realize we’ve already done the things we’ve done except for me.   There is reincarnation, but not because of karma.   It’s like an arcade game where you complete one level to get to the next in each level is harder about winning the game. It’s about being the actor in the game.   Dying and trying again.  

      God is love, energy and everything but nothing at the same time.  It makes sense from my perspective.  

      I could win the lottery, but most people win the lottery why it more broken miserable than before they want it and wish it had never happened, but I know how to divide the money, but the universe is about money and it is not about money.  A dog cares more about meat than it does about money.   It also knows how to love unconditionally mostly   control is a paradox   the more control everyone tries to get the less control. They actually have the more they give up control the more things go their way.

How’s it going knowing everything? It’s only been five minutes. If you’re feeling happy or you’re feeling overwhelmed hope you know how to deal with feeling overwhelmed. You know everything.  Even though where I came from and how I became a … is Genie the right word or do you have a better word?  They say the more you know the more you know, you don’t know.  But you know everything so do you think that statement is true?   How do the cells in a zygote know where to go?  What’s the purpose of life?   I’m sure you could publish a book and get rich if rich is still important to you.  What is important to you right now? 

*

     You know, I don’t have to do anything anymore.  I could retire and just know how to manifest money.  Helping others is important, but we need to remember to help ourselves before we help others.  Remember what they tell you on airplanes   but I find out we can do what Scotty does on Star Trek sort of we can split our cell simultaneously and reassemble them at a different place but I know this information got around evil people would hurt innocent people.  They’re not purely evil, but they have evil intentions so I have to keep it to myself. 

     I can pass any test though now without without having to do any work, I can get any degree I want, but I can win the lottery anytime I want so why do I need a degree?  I know the point of life so life is not pointless but if I told the reader, they wouldn’t understand.   It’s not psychobabble.  It’s math science, history and math.  

       I know everything in every book in every language in the universe.  And every fact about every subject in the universe and everything that has happened is happening and it’s going to happen and I realize I don’t have to do anything about the bad things because they’re gonna happen no matter what I do and I’m unable to help everyone, but I can’t help some people learn the laws of the universe.  

      But people will just think it’s flimflam.  They always think new things are flimflam.  Just ask James Randy. I could get $1 million from him but what’s the point?   Is it about being remembered? Is it about being comfortable? I know what the point is but no one believes me.
