The Ones Chosen
[Story continuation from “Assigned to Observe”]
It’s early evening in Philadelphia, PA. Family and friends are all gathered at the Lucas house on the corner of 48th & Springfield in West Philly. It’s Khalfani’s sixteenth birthday party, and yesterday he received an acceptance letter from both Temple University and Drexel University with scholastic and athletic scholarships. Needless to say, they had a lot to celebrate.
Khalfani’s father John Lucas was probably more excited about the news than anyone. He really wanted his son to go to school close to home because he was involved so much in the community. His positive leadership would be missed if he went too far away. He is a hands-on kind of mentor for so many, young and old, at the community center, in his martial arts classes, on the basketball and tennis courts, at the enterprise center, and at his dad’s graphic design firm. He and his friends have been getting constant on the job training for over five years now. They’ve really been a big help lately with John being home recovering from a serious sports injury. Khalfani and his closest friend Marcus have practically managed the shop themselves. They check in on the staff whenever they have a moment, and they know the business thoroughly. It’s not a stretch to say that they are wise beyond their years.
Khalfani and Marcus went out back where his dad, Uncle Joe and a few of the elders were playing cards while comparing tales, and occasionally embellishing the truth a bit. They even compliment each other's lies when they’re really good ones. After listening in, laughing and learning a little something, Marcus started to head out when he finished his goodbyes. But Uncle Joe’s childhood friend Detective Joey Romano, who also fought side by side with him in combat, pulled the two young men aside. They were still within earshot of Uncle Joe when he warned the two young men to look out for trouble at the upcoming rally for the death of a 15-year-old African teen who was shot in the back while riding his bike home from school. The police tried to claim that they thought he had a weapon, that he was ignoring their commands to stop, that he fit the description of a suspect, then finally that he had earpods in and couldn’t hear as if somehow it was his own fault. The reality is that the rookie officer who happens to be the son of the chief of police in Upper Darby, just outside of West Philly, was trying to gain recognition from his peers by “getting a body” in some twisted mandatory initiation rites of passage that a racist sect of the force partakes in. Uncle Joey, as they affectionately call him, told Marcus and Khalfani that officers in plain clothes from neighboring towns plan to infiltrate the crowd and instigate as well as initiate violence to make it seem as if the peaceful protesters are the aggressors. He advised them to pass the word on to the attendees not to fall for the bait.
The Ancestor makes himself known to the first of whom he calls the chosen ones.
As Khalfani’s party is winding down and the celebration of this young man's 16th trip around the Sun comes to an end, most of his friends have gone. With the memories of laughter still fresh in his mind, he heads up to his room to get some sleep. As he begins to drift away, this is when the Ancestor makes his presence known at first in spirit form then as a fully physical human being. Khalfani is startled at first thinking he’s gone off to sleep and is dreaming. The old man begins to tell him things about events in his life that no one should know. There were times growing up that he wondered how he survived. Well, this guardian angel looked after him and kept him out of harm's way. The spirit tells Khalfani that his good fortune was not due to luck, but to him. He stated, Khalfani, “You have a greater purpose in life!” The young man was not truly convinced until this old spirit started describing details in his life that only he would know himself. Khalfani always felt that he was put on this earth to do something big. Although he wasn’t sure what it’d be, he always pushed forward in whatever he put his mind on. Maybe he felt that way because his father named him Khalfani, which means destined to rule. Khalfani thought, “This must be my purpose. It just feels right. Plus, this angel knew so much about my life.” The Ancestor would do the same thing with each of the other ones chosen. Together they will learn the Ancestor’s lessons of truth. He tells Khalfani that they will have to visit the five others around the world in spirit form. This is the way they will communicate with each other and the Ancestor as well. While their physical bodies are in different parts of the world, their spirits will connect. You can say, this is God’s world wide web. The Ancestor tells Khalfani that they all share the same destiny, like they share the same date of birth. Their bodies are all in harmony as are their spirits. Because of this, they are able to work as one synchronized entity. They will understand that none of them alone can wield the same power as united they can.
Ancestor’s Lessons
You can call “Ancestor” at any time to reach me and I will call you “Chosen” as a collective. I once lived on Earth approximately 12,000 years ago in East Africa. My people were traveling around the world at this time, trading with other settlements and independent nation states. We established advanced social structures throughout every continent. But gave the inhabitants a choice to join our global nation or retain their sovereignty, learn our way of life or not. Now, I spend most of my time in the spirit realm. There is a parallel dimension beyond the physical where most of us spirits exist. However, we are not limited to this planet. The Universe is our ocean. We are all parts of a whole - the whole being God.
I visited all of you Chosen on your sixteenth birthday, beginning with Khalfani. Why the sixteenth? Because you are now mature enough to comprehend all that you have to learn. Why Khalfani first? Because he is in the USA, the leading nation of this time. That is where we are going to have our toughest battles.
You are all warriors.. warriors of truth, who will need to establish schools of thought for mental and physical fitness. This is where you will train many other warriors in your homeland to put into effect, one unified movement across the globe. You six Chosen were selected to enlighten and unite all willing people of the world. When people are given the truth, the knowledge and are once again working together, then the rest will fall into place.
Accomplishing this is your mission Chosen Ones. It will not be easy. You will be met with the expected opposition, and opposition from unbelievable sources. Remember, some people don’t want to see or hear the truth. It’s more comfortable to hide behind the lies or cover their eyes and act like the lie doesn’t exist, until it creeps up and bites their ass. Then they’re forced to deal with it. Well Chosen, as you probably figured already, your lives will be at risk. You will be going up against both the aware, most diabolically powerful, and the ignorant, misinformed, misled masses. But you will not have to do it alone. You will have each other working together with my help and the spirit of all the ancestors. Our combined power should never be underestimated. We will do it. It is God’s will. We will help you with this task by allowing you to go beyond the rules of space and time. By this I mean, transporting from one place to another instantly and from one point in time to another. You will have the ability to alter the properties of physics in both living and inanimate objects. Also, you will practice telepathy as well as the ability to project images. These are going to be your ultimate weapons. You have no need for firearms.

Teaching Our-story
Ancestor: Let’s start by unlearning what you have been taught. I thought about saying, let’s forget what you have learned. But I believe you should try not to forget a lesson. Whether the lesson is a deliberately blatant bold-faced lie, a little white lie, a subtle subliminal lie or an easy to digest half truth. You should never forget the lesson. If you find yourself in the dark, you should want to know why you’re in the dark. If someone put your light out, you’d want to know who, so you can prevent them from ever doing it again.
Therefore, let’s unlearn what you have been taught beginning with human evolution, civilization and history. Let’s see if we can get your light turned back on.
Humans are evolving in a variety of physical forms for different reasons, the obvious being their physical environment. However, they also evolve because of their spiritual and mental environment too. These changes are passed from one generation to the next through the genes. Most of this you already know. So, I’ll focus on what you don’t know. That is, past life experiences are also passed on from one generation to the next. The things you experience, especially if it is out of the ordinary such as extreme pain or pleasure that may alter your mental or spiritual state of being, will be passed down to your descendants. This is so the necessary adjustments can be made for their survival. Sometimes that information is passed on without a direct genetic link. The message is passed through the spiritual network that connects us all.
The physical differences in all of you are circumstantial and not much of an issue when looking at all life in the universe. That’s right, I said life in the universe. You didn’t really think that Earth was the only place with life on it did you? There’s so much life out there with infinite variations that I can’t explain it to you in words. I will show you later, through a shared spiritual journey. You will see that this is a living universe. In comparison, life on Earth is just a grain of sand on a desert of life that would blanket our whole world over a mile deep. All of this life is connected by spiritual energy. Moreover, all life on Earth is so connected that we are all part of this one big living being.. Our conscious planet.
The percentage of salt in the water in your body is the exact percentage of salt that is in the ocean. Atoms, including those in your body, rotate on the exact same axis as “Mother Earth” does. Let me explain my point by using an electron, a negatively charged subatomic particle within the atom along with neutrons and protons. If an electron is split apart, the separate units will turn out to be identical twin particles. If you change the condition of one of the twins, then the other will automatically change as well. These tiny particles will communicate instantly even at far distances apart. Now, that is oneness! You are all part of one whole. So, you must begin to think as one, and act as “One!”
