Machiventa: “The matter of Ionah, ABC-22, Andrea and yourself was a permitted revelation of a kind. Firstly for his courage, ingenuity, and organizational ability, the forgotten hero, master sailor, deserved to become known on his native planet. The Midwayers, surely, earned their fame for their centuries-long dedication with the offspring of the Andites, the Red Man and others. Your inclusion was allowed only for your being the 11:11 Emergency Platoon’s mouth piece, and making known interesting archaeological facts.
“The Dante Alighieri experience was an entirely different matter. Your frantic search for a recipient of the gift of enlightenment – the wonderful yet at times frightening spontaneous cosmic consciousness experience – finally had you reassess the works and history of Dante. Fortunately, his ‘secretary’ of many years, Beatrice, was recognized by you as ABC-3, Bzutu’s older sister. And no, the discovery meant little in itself, rather, the publication of the name “Be-ah-tri-ce” – and when turned ‘inside out’, Ah Be Ce Tri, or ABC-3 – was the event.
“During the 700 years since Dante’s composing of the Divine Comedy, others did conclude that perhaps the poet was assisted by ‘angelic’ tour guides, but none were brazen enough to make known that she was a Midwayer of extraordinary skill and dedication. From the moment it became clear that you would identify our beloved Beatrice the centuries-old rules of isolation, the spiritual shackles, were relaxed. Dante acknowledged your appreciation for his labors, Beatrice at last enjoyed human recognition for such awesome efforts.
“At this point, this is the reality I wish you to comprehend, to fully grasp, about dispensations that regularly take millennia to come about and the easing of hard and fast rules when an act of love demands that standard procedure be set aside for a reason, for a cause, for a time, for progress, and for love. Yet, even an easing of the rules can be standard procedure. Your attentive Midwayer Helpers are greatly more human than you might envisage, and your dear friend ABC-3 truly deserved the recognition after a lengthy 700 years of obscurity.
“See it now in your mind’s eye: There are those who from childhood routinely witness countless circumstances others might mentally record as miracles. There are those in fear who would be disallowed such events as it would be disconcerting to them. The former might well shrug them off as another one of ‘those things’ simply being a part of their spirituality. The latter, if confronted, might well conclude there to be a temporary aberration dealing with their mental hygiene, more likely that of another, but the universe makes no mistakes.
“Spirituality or religion – hard to define and greatly personal. Some of you dwell in the cosmos, others in the book. I am Machiventa.”
