Who's Next?

WHO’S NEXT? The secret of time may deliver unexpected results. Justus searches for a possible answer to his lifelong problem with religion clashing with sex. With his girlfriend, Janey, he experiments with Ouija hoping to discover the truth. Janey, a sex-surrogate, believes she can help him but her profession and cynicism merely make his predicament worse. Tom, a fourteenth-century discarnate monk, is contacted via the Ouija. A male God has tasked him with a novel experimental method of enlightenment theoretically superior to sending Messiahs. His job is to find and teach a suitable subject learn their religious belief is historical truth. Unluckily, Tom has an underlying problem similar to Justus. He also misunderstands his task believing his specific instruction is to give the profound secret of time to whomever he finds suitable. Meeting Tom reawakens a youthful experience subconsciously hidden by Justus. In youth, the chance to experience sex with adolescent Christina was refused because of his religious indoctrination coupled with peer amusement and ridicule. Christina fled Libya with her parents during a war, was raped, saw them killed, finally being taken care of by her maternal aunt and uncle. This experience produced her profligacy as she accused herself of her parent’s death offering herself to anyone to make amends. Her maternal uncle surreptitiously committed her to an insane asylum and after many years of maltreatment mixed with drug therapy she discovered her true nature. Her task to participate in the shared agreement struck between Justus and Tom is not what the male God had intended. The female God has interfered as all women do. Tom is salaciously drawn to Christina, but being discarnate cannot participate in bodily acts only watch. A bargain is struck where Tom will supply Justus the secret of time in return for allowing him to watch them copulate. Justus carries out his part of the bargain only to discover Christina the girl he refused in youth. Tom also learns that stealthily watching is of no moral value compared to doing, as it is dysfunctional to the suchness of each precise moment in Life. Justus returns in time to eagerly search for his indoctrinated obsession, only to discover the historical figure he believed in is a congenital retard. This unbalances him to be used as the nucleus of a plot organized by a group of terrorists of the Period. The terrorists, fed-up with waiting for prophesied help, unscrupulously use Justus as the Messiah who will rise again to steer the people in a revolt against the Roman Invaders. The terrorist plan to drug him and claim he survived crucifixion fails but it allows him direct experience of his indoctrination that allowed man-made written concepts to affect his daily living. He returns to the present to find the World is but a dream as Christina has done. Tom’s task currently finished has to search out others in this manner for personal enlightenment by direct experience not by belief in written indoctrination. --- Who’s Next?
