NEONOO, or PARADISE IN THE NOOSPHERE

«Dear Mr. Chairman!»

Not without pleasure, «I hear myself with a capital letter». Along the way, I repay to my friend: he «complies», as if he was listening to my thoughts.

«If I understand you correctly, the question is now being resolved on the establishment of the state and the form of this state?»

«You understood me correctly, Mr. Bonaparte!»

I re-apply Napoleon with a «face» about the truth of life.

And nothing: «attached»! And he doesn’t mind! And already «from the point of application» the ex-emperor is embarrassed, not at all imperial, coughing.

«Please, excuse my audacity, if it is found by you…»

Well done: keep it up, Napoleon! In the sense: so lying… face in the dust!

«… but I would like more clarity… Once again, generously, please excuse me.»

«Don’t mention of it!» I generously apologize to the ex-emperor, using «all my existing Versailles». «No cheek I do not see your question. Clarity is needed by everyone and always… for greater clarity. Hence there is my answer: republic – or a monarchy. Terciam non datur! I hope the translation is not required: „we all learned a little“?»

«Thank you, dear Mr. Chairman!»

Napoleon «leaves the podium» «in the dress» of the slavish look and bowed back. Nice to deal with adequate comrades!

«Whose choice is this?»

I am seeking through the eyes of a scoundrel. But the insolent and not too hiding: Caesar. It was possible not to look for: just guess. Besides him, of all those present, only Stalin can ask such a straightforward question. Well, well: at least, with a friend, everything is clear… at least, to start.

«This is a collective decision, dear Guy Julius.»

That’s right: it will do without the consul, and without the lifelong dictator, and without a victor – and without «and so forth, and so forth, and so forth». Let him tell me more thanks for the fact, that I do not call him a «citizen» – only in the context of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and not the constitution of the republic. It is necessary to put a comrade in place… if he does not stand on it. There is no other method of education. If he hits me with the question, then I hit him with the answer! For the umpteenth time: «terciam non datur»!

«I don’t know if the staff of the team will satisfy you… or, to be more exact, the initiative group…»

I Insolent smirking, because I know for myself: it works flawlessly.

«… but into it… they enter: Your humble servant…»

Light tilt of the head – so that, God forbid, my words not taken literally. Caesar wisely remains unresponsive: he, who has ears, let him hear! And he already heard me and about me!

«… my companion is one of the greatest practitioners of medieval Europe…»

For the sake of «raising the rank» of the alchemist – and he gratefully appreciates cheeks the color of ripe tomatoes. The mention of «Europe» has a beneficial effect on Caesar. He «did not drive» into an adjective, but «Europe» clearly falls in his liking. And then: man all his life he tried to escape from the provincial Mediterranean to the operating room! It is clear: what kind of empire is of the «Apennine boot» with the surroundings?!

While Caesar «looks good», I go further:

«The third „member“… in the sense of: participant – is the Founding Father of the Noosphere, academician Vernadsky!»

There are no fools – even if they were – and everyone is drawn together in the ranks. Caesar is no exception. A man is not in vain famous for not only a strong hand, but also strong brains.

«Well, the fourth member of the Initiative Group is the well-known – but after you, dear Caesar – the born son of a carpenter, later „Son of God“ Jesus! Please welcome!»

In the manner of a noteworthy entertainer, I step aside – and with an outstretched hand «I call upon the center» pale red Izzy. Man, of course, didn’t miss anything from my presentation, which I carelessly… but why lie: intentionally – turned into a play. That is, they did not pass by him – for they passed by like in the ranks – neither the «born son of a carpenter» nor the quotation marks in the «Son of God». Looking now on Jesus, I have no doubt that he is ready to give me and by faith, and according to his works – and do it right now. Only one thing holds him back: he needs me – and much more than Paul, because «my number is first»!

All the residents of the «Birth of Christ» are filled with reverent delight. Of course, the people understand that this is not an «original», but only «tracing paper». But after all, he is not an impostor! And that’s not something «self-made»: «tracing paper» from Jesus themselves – and for them Christ also! Caesar is perplexed, true, not alone: the company consists of all the representatives of the ancient world. On their faces reads: «Think: Son of God! Our Zeus has a lot of sons! We dig in gods, as in litter! And then – some kind of Jew… formless! No skin, no faces – but a lot of ambition!»

But the reverence of the «resurrected» masses clearly makes Caesar think. I judge this because Caesar is thinking. And rightly so: the mass of such different ingredients will not collectively be in awe of no reason. Even if that is the reason – with a pitiful look does not cause the slightest understanding among people who understand… in gods!

I have an eye on Jesus: a man blooms right before his eyes. «A little more, a little bit more» – and he will begin «to smell sweet» so that again begins to apply themselves «the anointed of God». I feel the opposite view: not so much an aspirant, but a triumphant one. Here, really: «and the eternal battle – we only dream of peace!» Looks like this guy is nothing does not have against delivering «a few minutes of thrill» to me – it is possible that in the area of the anus.

«What’s your opinion about the composition of the Initiative Group?» I switch to Caesar: there will be a turn to «Christ»… if he does not want to remain Jesus. «Have you any objections against the fact of convening the Initiative Group? Should someone start?»

Severely – «in ancient Roman style» – Caesar fulfills his head. More than that: with his eyes he «shakes my hand» – and also «in ancient Roman style»: in the area of the elbow bend.

«No, dear Chairman: I have no objections against the convocation of the Initiative Group or against its composition.»

Well, here and for Caesar, I am «dear»! And also I am Chairman with a capital letter! It is «heard» not only by me: everyone else is the same! Looks like it’s my new name now, and, maybe, a position! Not bad! In any case: useful, especially in the context of the triumphant views of Jesus. By the way, the approval of the Roman Izzy is clearly not to his liking: he is not the one, who gains a comrade in arms. Jesus could hardly have heard of ignoramuses about Caesar, but his back is not familiar with roman lashes. The enthusiastic views of the «sympathizers of the «Birth of Christ» at the address of «this Caesar» also contribute to the sobering of the «Son of God»: the people admire «in unison». So there is, for what!

«Before you put to the vote „form“ I offer to you a small educational program… to blame: an explanation.»

I’m getting used to the role of the chairperson more and more… but maybe: Chairman?

«What is a kingdom, an empire, I think everyone knows: it’s the power of the sovereign, most often, the sole. Autocratic, that is. There are classic autocrats, great not only by manifestations, but also by number here. In order not to offend anyone – because no one deserves it – I give a selective list.»

Of course, «a selective list» is «a balm for the soul»: I have already «aimed».

«Please welcome: Emperor Nero, the Roman Empire!»

Unlike himself, earthly, Nero gets off with applause a slight bow and even a slight embarrassment.

«Emperor Peter the Great, Russian Empire!»

For a moment, Peter also «shortens himself on the head».

«… Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, the French Empire!»

I reward Napoleon’s proper behavior, and the man «smells» of embarrassment and pride.

– … General Secretary and Prime Minister Stalin, Joseph Vissarionovich… Soviet empire!»

Stalin silently grins at his gray mustache: just like the one on Earth.

«And this is not only a far from exhaustive list: that’s very beginning! You can continue for a very long time – and all this will be decent people!»

I see that understanding is growing, but I have not yet «gone half the way» either. What does it mean: competent people!

«You yourself already understood, my friends: there are so many of them – applicants and applicants for a place! And the place is one!»

«Many called, but few chosen ones»! “ Jesus is gloating gloomily not at all in the spirit of himself, earthly. What does it mean: „people grow“! „They are growing straight above themselves!“ He understands: „here you are – not there“: you need to adapt to the changed conditions. Here, after all, the man did not study either history or natural science, but comprehended: in order to live, you must… survive! Survive, go all out! Previously, he sought out more and more death. You can say: asking for trouble, and climbed on the rampage… on the cross, that is. And they „pulled it out of context“ – and the guy quickly realized: „trampling death on death“ – this is „from another opera“! „Here it will be necessary to «trample» in another way – and not only life, but also those, who live! Because «eternal life» – even though eternal, but life is! That is, the struggle for existence! In a smoothed form this is: «and all our life is a struggle!»
