Interlude

The real world

Lucas was reviewing progress to date with his now closest team member, Ramgee Chukka, an Indian philosopher who advises Lucas on the programming requirements for the Asian replication of v-people in the project. He was knowledgeable of the different world views held by Asian peoples and thoroughly understood the religious and philosophical assumptions that upheld those world views.

“Ramgee, this project now represents outright war between us and Eli. The project itself is brilliant and is exceeding my wildest dreams in replicating the history, present and, I believe, the future of the human race. The project has limitations in that some of the future scenario sequences may not be exactly the sequences or timing that unfolds in the real world. However I do truly believe that the model that we have will show real trends and the kind of things that will happen in the future.” Lucas spoke aloud but as if to himself.

“The question is can we control the outcome or not? Is that what preoccupies you Lucas?”

“Yes. Especially since we cannot replicate in the virtual world a similar project to what we have created here. That would mean a virtual, virtual world and that will mean creating a virtual model of that and so on. It is this fact which obsesses me. I must get hold of the project and understand this conundrum if I am to get ascendancy over Eli.”

“Ah Eli! He will be your demise Lucas if you can’t get the better of him and outsmart him in this project. There will be insights within the virtual world we have created that I believe we can use to wrest control. If we can control all the v-people, then Eli will not be able to realise his dream of transforming their codes so that they become real people. I know Eli. He will not compromise his conditions and standards for this to happen. And this is why I have supported you, because I see that you have most of the v-population under your influence and I have no doubt that you will get the rest.”

“Don’t over simplify the problem Ramgee. Eli already has had some who meet his criteria – especially since he appeared to change the rules with that Y’shua and only requires the v-people to believe and act obediently on his promptings and believe in his love of them. He only requires a change of direction. A v-person’s behaviour may be just as bad at the start after they believe, but Eli is delighted. He has more regard for the direction the v-people are going than their actual ability to behave according to his ideas. The ones that please Eli are those that start to increase the good behaviour in their lives and reduce bad behaviour – and of course, persist in it. He gives encouragement to them and helps them. Even when we make life miserable for them they sense Y’shua’s love and continue to love him in return and do what pleases him. Besides he uses these ones to influence other v-people – ones that we have under our control and still, somehow, come to be persuaded to believe what they call the truth and reject what they call lies. It’s not many but sufficient to concern me to get the final control. I know I can do it. We
will
win, I
will
take Eli’s place. We just need to see the best way.

“Eli once said that when he has the number of v-people he wants then the project will come to an end. If we can stop him achieving that number we are well on the way to control all things because Eli will not go back on his word. He’s like that.”

“Yes, but has he told you the number of compliant v-people he wants?”

“No! But all the indicators are that he wants several million more. However our time is short and we must act quickly.”

“Well Lucas I have been thinking about this, and I can see that much of what you are doing is working very well. What I believe we should do is intensify the experiences we already bring to bear on the v-people; including those who are ours.

“Get those of our team to redouble their efforts to provide delusions, deceits, and all manner of lies. Create evils of all kinds that appear totally repulsive to the v-people, and create influences for good. Clothe some lies in rags and some in light and goodness. Clothe some actions with repulsion and some with apparent grace and kindness. Above all concentrate on hardening hearts and ensure that any love that Eli puts in them will grow cold by the increase of wickedness. Create many who will be deluded into thinking that they are Y’shua himself. Create some who will claim to speak in the name of Y’shua but whose hearts are in our camp. Feed the lies of self-actualisation and looking after ‘number one’ – even as we take away their self control. Create as much confusion as possible, so that even when they hear Eli’s truth about Y’shua they will not be able to perceive or believe it as being true.

“And most importantly teach that Y’shua loves them so much that they can do what they like, that he does not really expect his people to be able to honour the rules and directions he gives them and there will not be consequences for what they call ‘sin’. This will provide the best deceit and remove the source of strength for their trust.

“Your fight with Eli is now total and your fate does not bear thinking about if you lose.”

“
If,
I lose. That will never be. Look at the state of the v-world now – and even our own for that matter – and see the victories we have attained. I will not tolerate any doubt of our ultimate success! Your ideas are good Ramgee, but if you are to share my power and wealth, you will never have any thought other than my complete victory.”

Ramgee did not reply but nodded his understanding. He wondered if Lucas was ‘losing the plot’ but quickly dismissed the thought from his mind.

“Look at the outcome in this virtual world we have created Eli,” commented Anna MacDonald who had just come in to Eli’s study.

As the chief adviser to Eli on the relationship mathematics and programming used in the v-world project, her skills were of particular interest to him. And since Eli had a real fondness for good relational interaction, whether amongst real people or v-people, he enjoyed her company.

“Lucas and his team have nearly all v-people under his influence and he is setting up the situation to get control of the virtual world of Israel – your special interest v-nation – and the other followers of Y’shua. The Asian part of the v-world is under oppression and this Chou Yi he has established is intending the same thing by a different route. I think you have allowed too much freedom to these v-people, and Lucas, and you tolerate too much of the wicked behaviour of them all.”

She continued, “We had to start all over, near the beginning, by destroying nearly all v-people and giving a fresh start. I know that was necessary in order to replicate what we know to have been the Noahic flood. I think we are coming close to having to do something similar this time. Is this our fate too as human beings?

“I can do your mathematics Eli and program the space-time-energy relationship fields to give the virtual people characters you require, but where are you going with it all? Lucas controls nearly everything and you know that he is out to take complete control of the project and through that he will discredit you and establish himself in your place. Only I think that he would be worse than that Antoni Meshiac that he has dancing like a puppet to his tunes.”

“That’s all you have to raise?” Eli said with a mischievous grin. “I will try to answer.

“I know Lucas is trying to destroy me and take my place. I know that he has an obsession with complete control of the project and the v-world we have created, but for my purposes Lucas must be allowed to continue for a while yet. The virtual world model we have made is giving us a representation that is closer to our own reality than most of us realise. Have you not noticed that the events in our own world are, with a few simplifications and exceptions, very closely paralleled in the model? I know the model is now running a few years into the future but it does give some prediction of where we humans are going.

“We do not have a clear bullet-proof prediction in the model but I know that the behaviour of Lucas and his team is producing in the virtual world the kind of things we see in our own. Remember we have speeded up the time rate in the model so that we are able to observe more clearly cause and effect.”

“Are we really going to have the dictators like Antoni?”

“Yes. If the model is reasonably accurate, and I believe it is, then we must keep to the rules we have set up, observe the out-working and not try to manipulate it to give an end we want. One of the purposes of this experiment is to clearly convey lessons for each individual human to take hold of. We cannot tamper with the truth.”

“So our own human interactions with the model are part and parcel of the whole experiment and cannot be separated from it Eli?”

“That’s right. This is why the good and bad within each of us must be allowed to play out in the virtual model. The model does model us very closely.”

“But Eli you still have your personal goal of having some of the v-people who believe in your Y’shua recreated as real humans just like us. How does this affect the experiment?”

“This is a belief that I have taught the v-followers of Y’shua. But remember what happens is that the computer relationship codes that represent the character of the v-people are self modifying. They only become modified according to the beliefs that each v-person chooses to accept. Once formed and adhered to, the codes become permanent at the time of ‘death’ in the v-world; and the entity, in this case a v-person, continues to exist as long as there is a medium in which the code can be embedded. This can be any mass-energy system at all. And since the codes also create the self awareness and consciousness of each v-person there will be effectively a continuation of individual ‘life’ and awareness even if it is a different environment.”

“So that means all v-people will continue to have experiential consciousness as long as there is a universe with space-time-energy-relationship fields operative? In other words they do not die?”

“That is right. When any of the v-people ‘die’ in the v-world model, the character coding they have established becomes fixed and will become operative in a new environment. They actually become part of our world.”

“Well where are they? I have not seen any yet – or have I?”

“They are in our midst. Those that have followed the lies and deceits that Lucas and his team have conveyed will belong to him; those that have sought to follow our influences are here. Some of the new people who have come onto the project team are those who have successfully followed Y’shua. In my mind, because they have endured much opposition and hardship and yet have continued to walk in the right direction, many of the ex v-people have a quality of character better than most of us who have not been tested in the same way. They will have wisdom and understanding that most of our own team do not possess.”

“So that is why Lucas is so bent on getting all the v-people. He will be able to ultimately out-number us and take over the whole experiment. And he knows that he must have complete control of them.”

“That’s not quite right, but it is what he thinks. Lucas uses deception but is himself deceived. He knows and manipulates v-people with a mixture of truth and concealed lies, but does not realise that which he thinks he controls actually controls him. It is the same in the v-world. If a v-person insists on going their own way, there will come a point where what they have chosen becomes ‘locked in’ to their character codes and they then become bound and controlled by that thing.”

“Well how do the v-people recognise the truth when they are surrounded by all these deceitful thoughts and feelings? Even if we speak plainly to them how will they know?”

“You may not have realised it but part of the core code of each one – the part that gives a sense of their own identity as ‘I am’ has two features that cannot be touched directly by Lucas. First, there is a desire for a sense of identity and fulfilment that can come only by knowing either me or Y’shua, who is like a son to me. Secondly, one of the features of the v-people is that there is an in-built response to one of my team helpers who will speak truth and they will know it, and know that they know! His name is Hagos Neuma – a Greek scholar and historian who has a real skill in discerning fact from fiction. He is invaluable to me, and has been close to me from the start of the project. We are inseparable.”

“Well those attributes do not seem to have had much effect Eli.”

“That is what appears on the surface Anna. I had to ensure that there was no bias if there was to be freedom of choice of belief given to the v-people. That is why those two influences from our side were deliberately kept ‘soft’. They can be easily ignored and crowded out by activities and the sense experiences of v-people. But they are there in each one, and those who come to recognise that their life must have more meaning than being born, living for sensual stimuli, and then dying, will come to recognise them both. The desire for the recognition that they have worth, are loved by someone greater, and need to have an inner surety of what is true and what isn’t, will grow stronger as it is pursued; to the point that it is taken hold of completely. The v-person, Y’shua, is the total representation of my own personality and character in the v-world and in him core v-person desires become fulfilled. Therefore the influence of Hagos is always to draw v-people toward that centre. Unfortunately many v-people find the interests in the v-world to be stronger and do not want to know anything about these quiet drawings of their inner being – and then they hate those that do seek me or do believe in Y’shua.”
