#somewhere else2
The ship started up again. The pilot had set a new course. They were heading towards an unknown universe of the giants. Certainly they were going to the mythical home of The One Who Knows.
Jean had taken refuge in a corner of the ship. He did not want to talk to anyone. He thought back to what he could have done so that everything would be avoided. Nothing ... This decision belonged to The One Who Knows ...
The space kept a scar. A big blue circle was spreading in the cosmos. In the center, a milky cloud was still burning from a past battle ...
For the moment, all these people were like castaways on a sidereal sea. The providential island would be a day in sight. How long ? Jean did not know it. Whoever knows was the master of time ...
As the ship plunged into the depths of space, the giants lost the notion of time. They never knew how many days, how many weeks, even years passed. They crossed galaxies that they had never had time to observe through their telescopes. New, inaccessible worlds like ghost islands were on their way. But the ship did not seem to want to touch the ground. The speed was still increasing ...
All the people of the giants were confined in a small space of the ship. Little by little, what was left of their civilization resurfaced.
Jean stayed away. He did not want to intervene. Giants were the only masters of their decisions. Would they be able to bring about a new civilization, based on new principles? He did not know it...
Yet one day he came out of his silence. He could see that the giants did not really understand what they were doing in space. They had to give them a valid reason to believe. The hope of knowing the home of The One Who Knows. Do not let go of a rebellion that would be harmful to the realization of the mission. He informed the leaders of the expedition ...
They decided to teach the giants the knowledge they had.
Many of them were educated in the sciences lost in past ages. They were recovering their memory ... Forty years of loneliness in space had given birth to a new way of thinking. They had forgotten their taboos. They had become like those beings who came to save them. They had transformed. The light of The One Who Knows shines on their faces.
They had finally become those gods they thought they were. That's what they thought ...
John relied on meditation. He had let his sons take charge of the education of the giants. He thought back to his mission. He was preparing for what he still had to do. For him it was not finished. The episode of the giants was not the end of his trip. He knew the light was coming. And they would know it? Only The One Who Knows would decide that ...
Wandering somewhere in the corridors of the ship, he decided to see his second son again. He wanted to see him to tell him what should be done after the giants were educated. He had revelations to make to him, but also to his elder ...
His firstborn had lost his arrogance. Over time, and in contact with the giants, he had become better. There was not a day going by without talking about his bad deeds, to the giants he taught. He wanted to give them the example of his wandering. Jean tried to console him. Jean explained that his faults were not really. He who knows has always guided him. He alone knew what he was doing. The law of the Knower is deeper and true than any other. The one who is attached to it advances towards the Truth ...
The eldest son had used force and cunning to gain power. The decision he made had put John outside their home world. This child did not know yet what had driven him to do so, John either. Repentance of such actions was useless. Destiny had bound them. Whoever knows has bound them. He alone is the cause of history ... He alone should help them understand the why of things.
So, he says to him:
"But, father, what is your role in this story? The One Who Knows does not need a creature to realize his purposes. Why choose us?"
"He has chosen us all, my son, He is nowhere in the universe, a soul that He has chosen to carry out His business, everyone has a role to play, those who believe they have power, and by this very thing stand above the other souls of the universe, have understood nothing ... There is no soul superior to another.They are all useful to His work, and equal in His hart for them (he was looking at the giants), it took them a while to understand, they climbed one by one the ladder of knowledge, they should have seen what was at the top, but like Icarus, they did not want to give themselves time ... The time they never understood their meaning. Until the loss of all that they had been the masters. Only theirs remains the hope of seeing The One Who Knows ... "
Jean's two sons looked at each other. They saw their father, his gaze lost in the depth of space. They wondered what his mission was ... He was serene. Time, Jean had some. He knew he would have more than necessary. A moment of silence ... Then turning to them he said:
"See what the transfiguration has done to these giants, myself, I did not take part in it, The One Who Knows has denied me access, you will serve as a motor for the realization of the purposes of The One Who Knows, but I tell you, you will never know its essence.This revelation will be reserved for only one.This one will have in him the knowledge of a universal past.He will have the knowledge of a universal future, it will not be a danger to the balance of worlds ... "
He took them by the shoulder, and led them to the big bay.
"In the past, you had learned that the Universes were guarded by a pantheon of entities, you're part of it, that's where we're headed ... He pointed his finger at a luminescent cluster ... But you who are in this ship, you do not yet know where is the house of The One Who Knows, you are the nearest to his palace, but whatever happens, you will never know who He is, and what is He looks like ... The last transfiguration, He only reserves it to one, the one who will be elected, will not be by chance, The One Who Knows will have chosen it well before the birth of the worlds. He will have no choice but to submit to His will. This is the Law ... "
John remembered the old scriptures. They stipulated that no one could contemplate the face of the Lord without being knocked down immediately ... What will happen to the Chosen One?
