Prologue - Eternal Vacations of the Future - part 2

"But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. " Revelation 20:5 KJV

The in-fighting between the Future Realists and their limited view of the true nature of things and the Perfect Optimists with their self-renewing vision of the future was difficult and often bitter. Were it not for the mitigating forces of the Future Neutralists whose existence almost difused both groups by its very nature and indecision or extreme prudence, all three groups would never have coalesced and transcended each other's shortcomings or lack of ultimate vision.

Before the actual departure on the 1,000 year journey, a journey that could as easily have been thought of as a 1,000,000 year journey, the Originators took certain precautions with their progeny and descendants. They changed the historical logs and embedded blocks in time to prevent any attempt to travel in time to learn what only a few suspected was the nature of their ancestors and how they themselves had come to live for a hundred, or a thousand or a hundred thousand years. Great perplexity and wonder were expressed or sublimated as why some of their kind lived for only 100, or a thousand or a hundred thousand years. Try as they might, they could not unravel the origin of the disparate life spans of what to all seemd to be one race of humans, as they continued to call themselves. The historical records spoke of proto-humans, and it was supposed that this was a hint of what even more ancient records spoke of as development from common ancestors, but the nature of the ancient ancestors defied logic, as it was said that they lived only for decades or for half a century. Surely such beings could in no way have much similarity with themselves who for all observation existed as perfect as their immediate ancestor. These discrepancies caused consternation, but never doubt as to the beauty of the vision of the Originators and their concept of searching for the Source of their being.

It was often theorized that the Source could very well have come in search of them, but others thought that arrogant on the part of these short-sighted humans, to think that the Source of their being would come to them, as opposed to the more practical venture of the lesser entities going in search of the Cosmic Entity. After all did not the Cosmic Entity give them all the tools that they would ever need to succed anywhere in the universe and for however long it took them to find the Source of all beauty and light?

Who but the Originators could have had the Preternatural vision of develping advanced technology and keeping it secret for hundreds of years until the 1,000 years of waiting had finished, before humanity's most important journey could be undertaken? How many had to have died in order to protect the advancing wealth and sophistication of education and government of the Originators and their secret civilization in cities beneath the Seas of Earth?

Though it was previously thought that all the passengers on the transgalactic journey were accidentally present on that singular journey, the Orginators had spent centuries carefully monitoring each of the families that would eventually "accidentally " book a flight on the supposed weekend trip to the Martian colonies. Such an important passenger list was not left to the throw of the dice, but to centuries of planning and perfecting of the new systems of regeneration and perfection that had secretly been developed beneath the Seas in the Cities of the Deep.
