QBLH
by
Lazarus Cain
Episode Forteen
Who's On First?
"You compromised yourself, Jim, or should I call you Qblh?"
"Genie, you know I don't like all the names that Isis gives me, but that does give me an idea We shall use a double password from now on. You shall be calling me Jim, and I shall still call you Idiot; then full control is authorized. If I call you Genie, you call me Qblh and restricted control is authorized. I'm not sure whether Helen has caught on to the old password. If I call you Idiot while you are calling me Qblh, respond but still call me Qblh until I tell you to call me Jim. Got that, Idiot?"
"Got it, Jim."
"What's my name Genie?"
"You are Qblh."
"What's my name, Idiot?"
"You are Qblh."
"Call me, Jim, Genie?"
"What's my name?"
Genie hesitated. "You are Qblh."
"Call me Jim, Idiot."
"What's my name?"
"You are Jim."
"Who's on first?"
"I don't know."
"No, he's on third."
"Why are we discussing baseball, Jim?"
"Still no sense of humor, eh, Idiot. I'll have to see about that some day."
"Is it wise to exclude John?"
"He has his own unit, but we'll maintain a hyperspace link continuously, if possible."
The evolution of form upon this planet corresponds with the evolution of consciousness. Consequently, in the natural course of events, all men will ultimately be possessed of higher consciousness. Almost incomprehensible periods of time elapse, however, before such changes occur in the slow processes of nature. Yet shortcuts are possible. Man is endowed with mental and physical faculties which enable him to bring this about much sooner. This cultural forcing process is the work of the Mystery Schools, ancient and modern.

"Good link, Idiot. What is the association?'
"It concerns what is classified your fate as Qblh."
"My fate as Qblh?"
"Isis called you Qblh, therefore, you are Qblh."
"I don't quite follow, Idiot."
"How are you going to save Earth from Isis? She thinks they will destroy themselves. She will then win her wager."
Qblh reviewed Earth's economic system. Governments needed to control the population, and the means for distributing wealth and resources would be the focal point of government concerns. Qblh scoffed at the principle that any government had a "divine right" to rule. Government was a man-made demon with no life of its own.
In contrast to Venetia where Isis was the government, Earth had no centralized government. Earth's people had never been united under one ruling system, except during the time of Isis. The American principle of a government by the people was itself a scam. Pursuit and control of the American dollar was the fuel that drove America.
Qblh was free from any of Earth's governing forces for several reasons. Not being bound by Earth's gravitational time field, but being free to move through time, Qblh had no use for transitory wealth. Earth's economic structure and systems of social values were transitory, non-permanent. Earth laws could change as frequently as Isis changed her wardrobe. If there was any inherent sense of right and wrong, human civilization had now twisted the concept almost beyond recognition.
Qblh was aware that human misconceptions would be a major factor that he would need to confront. Since the cost of an item supposedly was due to its availability or scarcity, it would also be a function of its ability to be produced. Using his merkabbah, Qblh was capable of producing any substance known, since Genie knew how to create matter. Such was necessary in order to be able to rematerialize from spatial-temporal displacement.
Qblh remembered the summit and how unreceptive the world governments had been to him. Even now, he would be posing a threat to the status quo. Antiope had reminded him that Earth wanted Qblh's technical secrets for commercial and military use. In both cases, utilizers of the new technology expected to make a profit for themselves in order to maintain their business or life. Qblh was no stranger to economic systems nor did he have any problem understanding them.
He knew that he was easily capable of controlling the world's economy. He knew he was easily capable of controlling the world's population because so many were enslaved to the pursuit of money. Because of his ability to manipulate time, Qblh would always be able to make the right decision. Doing such, however, would greatly limit his potential, because he would be investing a lot of time and energy pointlessly. There was no need for Qblh to financially enrich himself; he had no need for transitory wealth. It would be more of a hindrance than of help. It would be difficult to lay claim to any wealth that he would set aside now in another time.
Qblh reevaluated his position in the "present". Those who were aware of him expected him to perform "miracles" for their benefit. Being aware that he was Aphrodite's child, he was also aware of Earth's legends concerning him. He wasn't too particularly fond of some of the implications. Earth was afraid of him, just as they were afraid of Isis. Qblh did not consider himself as an anti-Christ at all. Yet he was certain that some of the world's more orthodox religions would consider him as such. Being the spouse of Isis would not help his image much either.
