Virtually Real Page 9
“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.”
“Is it purely random, Eli? Do you know who will respond to you and who will not? Is the destiny of each v-person inevitable?”
“Ah the old predestination versus free will question! I’ll share something that I have not made widely known. Since this whole project was my concept, and the initial creation of ‘Adam’ and all the code influences that would come from him were also known by me, I could, in a manner of speaking, ‘see’ the end results, but experientially each one must make their choices. Yes I know the end from the beginning of each one but I tell no one. Only observe this, Anna, the response to truth, to Hagos, will be the deciding factor, and Hagos will never push himself, he will point v-people to Y’shua because they are to be identified with him as another real v-person. Do not look at current behaviour, nor at the degree of influence that Lucas and his team have on an individual. If you can see the heart, you will see whether or not there is a seed desire for truth that can grow greater than any other influence. Amongst our own kind there are many who are in slavery to their circumstances, yet are free in their inner being; whilst there are many who are free in their circumstances, but are enslaved by their own desires and passions. So too, it is for v-people in the virtual world we have created.”
“What then will be the fate of Lucas in all this?’
Eli smiled. “I won’t answer that directly, but remember the v-people. When they die in the v-world the character and personality codes that they have developed by their choices will remain and they will continue to experience consciousness and awareness. The new environment in which they will find themselves will mirror exactly what they have developed in themselves. Those who sought truth and to believe and trust in Y’shua will have personalities that will experience being treated the way they sought to live, even if they were unable to actually carry it out properly in the v-world environment. And the same will happen to those that followed their own self-centred desires and the seductions of Lucas and his team. What they sow into their own character codes will be reaped as their later experiences. Again some may have done good things, but if it was from selfish motives they will experience the effects of selfishness. The degree to which the pursuit of truth and selflessness, or illusion and selfish gain, is sought will be the measure of the later experienced reward.
“The v-world”, he continued, “mirrors our own world. What the v-people experience in their world will not always be fair
or just and there will be much suffering and many unanswered questions, but the direction they walk will determine the final outcome in their post-death experiences.”
Anna looked exhausted as her mind took in the full implications of what Eli had said. She had been able to do all the mathematics and programming required for the project and still had not realised the full repercussions of her own work.
“Oh, one last thing,” Eli continued, “There will be those who follow Y’shua and the prompting of Hagos but will be unaware of it. And there will be some who speak much in the v-world of Y’shua but do not know him or follow his influences. Remember all v-people are corrupted. It is the ones who recognise this and seek to be forgiven and accepted by Y’shua who will be acceptable as far as I am concerned. They can only come to know Y’shua if I draw them. It is my choice to provide that influence – even although some will ignore it. Let’s leave it at that for the time being.”
Chapter 15
Increasing Intensity
The virtual world
Judah had still not decided. His whole nation, he knew, depended on the right choice, but the choice that he felt was right, was not logical. He did not want to discuss it with his cabinet – more opinions than members, he cynically thought. Only confusion would result. Judah decided to call in Moesh again.
“I have told you Judah, you are to discuss this with your Government colleagues. The nation of Israel is being tested as has happened many times in the past. The collective heart of the people will be exposed. But, you are right to resolve to know your own mind and heart first.” Moesh stated.
“I can’t rely on so called miracles like those that happened a long time in the past. I’m not Moses that can part the sea, or Joshua that can bring down city walls. I’m not Y’shua who can turn water to wine. I cannot expect a repeat of the outcome of the six day war in 1967. Even the force-field protection that Roshy developed in the Magog war can now be countered. I know we have good scientists, but I cannot see us defeating Antoni ourselves this time.”
“It’s not good for a leader of the nation to lose nerve, Judah. How long will you waver?”
“If we go with Aaron’s peace plan we delay the disaster which may give us the time we need. And we will make special efforts to ensure the people do not lose faith in Y’shua.”
“If as leader you have lost faith, will not the nation follow, Judah?”
“But if I reject Aaron’s peace plan, will I be able to persuade the government and the people? Word of this is already out and I cannot delay much longer?”
“Kill temptation while it whispers lest you become deaf to wisdom when it shouts.”
“Don’t speak in riddles, Moesh.”
“You know what I mean and you know what you must do. Do it!”
With that Moesh departed. Although Judah was the President of Israel, Moesh seemed to have a complete independence of the usual protocols and formalities. Judah was sometimes put out by this behaviour, and did not always like his advice. However he had a huge respect for Moesh as one who would tell the truth, and as one who knew Y’shua more intimately than most.
Judah addressed the Knesset.
“We are going to reject the peace and prosperity proposals of Antoni as conveyed by Aaron. If we lose our trust in Y’shua and start embracing Nimrah bit by bit, then the next generation will be vulnerable to complete control by Antoni, and then if we resist our protection is gone. We have too many examples from our history to now throw away the trust we have in Y’shua and El.”
Uproar ensued.
“We were given skills and abilities.”
“The way of peace is what Y’shua has taught us.”
“Y’shua has given us blessings and he wants to give even more.”
“Our children will not forsake Y’shua. We have been through too much as a nation for that to happen.”
“You are throwing us into a war, Judah, a war we do not need to have!”
Such arguments almost drowned out the few supporters that Judah had.
“I propose that this house require the Government to decline the peace overtures presented by Aaron.” It was Isaac ben Shur, one of the elder statesmen of the assembly who stood up. His views were widely respected and the assembly quietened.
“I second that” came a voice from a back bench.
Having caught their attention Isaac went on. “By having a clear issue to vote on, this country will decide its course; and with it, its fate. I suggest to the Speaker, that a Knesset vote be held over for two weeks, and that each member seeks to know what Y’shua would have us do, because either way we need his help. The short-term pragmatic solution is to agree to the peace proposals, but this will betray the next generation’s trust in Y’shua and in us. I know each generation is responsible for its own decisions, but it receives bane or blessing from its forebears. Almost every decision in our past that has been made has opted for the quick fix and appeased peace. We have an opportunity to consolidate our collective trust in Y’shua, who we know has brought only good, even if it has not always been to our liking. Our history shows that to forget El and go our own way reaps trouble and disaster. Think carefully over the next two weeks!”
No one replied.
“I support Isaac’s proposal to adjourn the debate,” said Judah finally, and sat down.
The Knesset reconvened. Judah had made up his mind that he would oppose the peace plan, keep Israel’s spiritual integrity and put this to the assembly. In so doing he brought an instant reaction of anger from the majority, and the ensuing shouts and arguments could be heard outside the building.
The Speaker called in security guards with police back-up, and it was their presence that finally subdued the hubbub.
“I will call for debate. Judah has indicated that this is not to be a party vote but each delegate must vote truly according to conscience. I will recognise those who want to speak, and each has four minutes to proclaim their view-point and the tenor of their argument. Marianne Zuckoth.”
“Sir. The surrounding nations laugh at Israel and our belief in Y’shua. They think that we are unreal and our trust in him is a vain imagination. Even the Nimrah religion uses us as an example of what can be achieved by the use of man’s creative imagination, but will not acknowledge the reality of the one we know as Y’shua. Yet, as a nation, we seem to have more prosperity and our security has not been threatened ever since the Magog War. Look about us. Other nations hold us in fear and grudging respect even though there is still an underlying hatred of us. That hatred will erupt into war in due course and not even Aaron’s persuasions will prevent that – even if we could trust him. We are protected now. Let’s not forsake the one who protects us. I support the motion and refuse Aaron’s peace proposal.”
“Next.”
“Sir. That last speaker is a woolly thinking dreamer. We all know that our place in the world has come about because we Israelis are cleverer than other races. All the troubles and persecutions we have experienced in our history have caused only the smartest genetic makeup to survive. It is our own strength and abilities that have won this for us. Yes, I believe in Y’shua, but he has left us to use the strengths and abilities we have. He does not want us to be like baby kids who run to their mummy every time there is some trouble. No! We can outsmart Aaron and his crowd. We can play their game better than they will ever be able to. We have to show them that we have the balls to join in with the rest of the world and still succeed. The next generation will thank us for standing on our own feet and for bringing even more prosperity to our nation. This talk of betraying the next generation is wishy-washy. We have to deal with now, and let the future take care of itself. I will vote for accepting the peace offer and against the motion before this house. Anyway what is the wording of the motion before us? I’ve forgotten!”
The Speaker rose, “The question before the house is repeated and is, ‘That the President be authorised to decline the peace and reconciliation initiatives proposed by An
toni Meshiac through Aaron Nawkish, and to take immediate steps to prepare for hostilities.’ A rider to this is that the nation will declare its reliance upon Y’shua and encourage the population to remain firm in their trust of him.”
“Next.”
“Y’shua has taught us to live in peace with all. The question of the effect on the next generation is too vague. If we want Y’shua’s protection we should accept the peace offer. I will vote against.”
The debate continued backward and forward for six hours and finally Isaac ben Shur spoke.
“Gentlemen. Your arguments have covered the full range of human thoughts and philosophies. You have ranged far and wide, reasoned well from a variety of hypotheses, recognised the principles of this world and its politics and power plays, you have boasted of Israel’s skills, and have touched on our fears that this time we will be overcome. If we are going to trust Y’shua then we need to know what he would have us do; and I have not heard of anyone stating ‘I believe Y’shua says thus’. If we all did this there would be agreement among us – not necessarily complete unanimity but definitely a clear recognition among us all of the direction we are to go. I would ask the Speaker to adjourn the proceedings for four hours by which time all those who believe are to have sought out what Y’shua is saying to this nation. Some may be given a clear sense of direction; others may not, but will know when they hear it spoken by others. Others will just have a sense of peace about the outcome. We need to have unity of heart even if we can’t have it of our own ideas.”
