Worldwide
prosperity in harmony with nature
A visionary short story
The encounter
Recently I had a dream, or more exactly a
daydream. I was going for a walk alone in the forest and enjoying nature. All
of a sudden, I noticed that someone was walking lightly beside me. He was about
two metres tall, dark-skinned, with an athletic physique. He was dressed in a
kind of golden track suit. Although he looked like a human being, he did not
appear to be from this world. His face radiated such happiness and even almost
merriness as is seldom found on our earth. When I looked at him I couldn’t help
laughing. It was hearty, cheerful laughter – pure joy at the sight of this
friendly companion.
“Please excuse me, I didn’t want to laugh at
you,“ I explained when I had got control of myself again. “It’s just that I’m
surprised at your sudden appearance.”
“It’s the same with a lot of people on this
planet,” was his friendly answer. “Most earth citizens react as you did and
only a few run away in fright or get aggressive.”
“So you aren’t from here?“ I asked in
uncertainty.
“I come from Joytopia, a nation on the planet
Freegaia at the edge of the galaxy. I got here with a jump in the space-time
continuum. My name is Goodfriend, Very Goodfriend.”
“How did you learn our language so quickly?“
“We simply use telepathy to communicate with
each other. We send each other thoughts and our brain translates them into
language. That works just the same with images, sounds, smells and emotions.
You see….”
I didn’t see anything. He had vanished.
Surprised and deeply moved, I continued my walk. Was I just hallucinating? Should I perhaps go
to the doctor? It would be better not to say anything about it to anyone and
forget the incident as quickly as possible.
“I have brought you a present,“ I heard Very
say.
“Where did you go so suddenly?“
“I went home for a moment to get something for
you.“
“Doesn’t such a journey take years? I mean the
highest possible speed …”
“We travel in our thoughts. It is well-known
that thoughts are free. Limits to space and time only exist if they have been
thought about previously. We also used to think out a lot of limits. Our
restricted thinking had shaped our planet in roughly the same way as you are
now shaping your planet. Try it for yourself. You see me because you think that
you see me.”
While he was saying that, a cyclist came
towards us. He gave a brief greeting and rode right through Very.
“Do you understand now?“ Very asked.
“Yes, I do.“
“I have brought you an idea.“
“What kind of idea?“
“The idea that everything you can imagine is
possible. Everything you can think will become reality! Everything you wish for
will come to pass if you can imagine it.”
“Then I wish for 10 million euros!”
“Fine!“
“Pardon? Fine? That’s
supposed to work? I can’t imagine it!“
“That’s just it.”
I was ashamed.
“Other people were able to imagine it and
became millionaires. But maybe it isn’t your wish to become a millionaire at
all. What do you actually wish for the most?”
“I would really like everybody to be rich and
to be able to do what they wanted without harming other people or nature.“
“I suggest you make a journey. We have already
achieved that aim on our planet Freegaia. You just need to copy it and spread
it on earth. That’s our gift to you humans.”
“How can I get through the space-time
thingy...“
“Just imagine it and I’ll accompany you.“
It was strange. It seemed to me that I was in
two places at the same time: while part of me went on walking in the forest,
the other part was flying through the universe with Very.
