For Lilian and the Indigos - Above Top Secret

Chapter 8
Lee went off to check his email, and look for information on the things that he liked best
– things like what the latest was in personal protection tech to keep him safe while
photographing Earth, Herself. He loved to capture the beauty and poignancy of Our
Planet, and gear that allowed him to do so, always protected from the wilder places, was
of value to him.
He looked for what was new in camera gear, processing gadgets, other miscellaneous
things, and whatever he was pursuing as a sideline break.
I went and did a quick check myself, realizing that it had been quite sometime since I had
checked my email, so in my bliss I had been, and found three waiting for me. One was
from my favorite canvas maker showing the selection of canvases available for order, and
two were from paint suppliers. All three were computer generated. And as I didn’t want
anything at the moment, I told the house to move these into their respective files and
strolled through my garden paradise in directed leisure on my way to work on Little
Buddha and Companion. The child and her cat both called me.
Thank goodness people didn’t bother you on the Web anymore as they did in the scarcity
paradigm. Always selling something… People now took interest in one another
personally, and never in contention because of money, so things like email – and most
often, holophone – were used by the people one wants to deal with. Sales calls were a
thing of the past. Everyone discovered this in their lives, and spam was finally defeated.
The email anyone gets anymore is the mail they signed up for on the Web, as well as
personal email; the option to cancel mailings from any list one signs up for is offered as a
common courtesy.
The Web as a whole, flourished, thrived, blossomed. Emergent support efforts sprang up,
as Humans found that they COULD help, if help was sought – and the Human Hearted
took pleasure from helping. This emergence was evident even in the beginnings of the
Web, with the development of Linux as a prime example of people willing to help and
improve a product, even though there was no monetary gain to be had.
Once the toil, the drudgery, the tedious, had been automated, and a year and a day had
passed, the bounty began to flow. The task was Herculean in effort. Land ownership had
to be addressed in anticipation of abundance, for example.
It was decided that everyone owned their domicile of the moment, since rent would go
away anyway, and so would the need to stay put. This gave everyone a place to live.
Those with no address could build something wherever they had been staying, if they
could, and most got by. And people came forth to help people who were struggling.
Everyone was working towards the future, for when the paradigm shift occurred on a
large enough scale, the “Goldrush” was on.
