Lesson of Time
by
Ken Bushnell

     "I can't see it," the effervescent being said to its teacher.  "I can 
see what they wrote in the book, but not on the lighted devices," he 
stated quizzically. 
     "Here," the teacher pointed with patience.  "Adjust the time stream.  
You have to be looking straight onto the devices display, from the 
perspective of the person in front of it writing, which is sometimes 
difficult.  I have found that they have very little of importance to write 
and that it is rarely worth the time to examine what they wrote down on 
the device.   This is the generation of distraction and trinkets.  Look 
farther back in the time stream, to their forefathers, who wrote 
everything on tablet or paper because people then had more time and 
patience to develop their thoughts."
    "Why must we study these histories?"  The student being once again 
asked.
    "Mankind had gone through a tumultuous period where the devastation 
and destruction was unimaginable.  Humankind left to their devices 
eventually destroys themselves and each other.  The Great Father had to 
train humankind, down to the level of their dna, to learn these lessons.  
He could not just show them once, because the next generation would soon 
forget the lessons and then mankind would destroy itself once again.  He 
had to make these lessons permanent, once, for all time, so we could look 
back and remember the horrible lessons we had to learn that taught us to 
love one another and live in peace.  There would be no hope for mankind if 
it had not been for the Great Father's lessons.  So we must study them and 
remind ourselves of our humble position in the hierarchy of things.  We 
are but one of many, and pride and arrogance will only destroy.  The time 
stream teaches us the lessons our forefathers learned and sealed in our 
dna.  Now watch the time stream and pay attention to ones who were kind to 
each other."  
    The teacher wanted to say more, but knew the student must absorb the 
lesson on their own.  He could only direct the student and he knew it 
would be easy because of the sacrifices our forefathers had made in those 
tumultuous times.
