The development of the entire human civilization had been going smoothly and it has been a month since Leo punished Lily for losing control of her emotions. The young man has been making steady progress in his internal visualization. At the same time the method of human evolution by gaining a better control of their minds was popularized by High priest Hank.
At first many people showed great doubt but when the science behind this practice was brought to light the world clamored for this information to be made public rather selflessly. However, High Priest Hank was not the one to fall for moral blackmail. Today, he called for a press conference. The media answered the call because not only was this old monk a helmsman of the Temple Of Mercy, but also the deputy chairman of the ISC, the organization that was controlling a lot of things around the world.
...
The media gathered at the foot of the mountain. After a few minutes, the high priest came down with a few acolytes. He greeted the people with his trademark smile. Then he said, "Thank you, for coming over on such a shout notice. Today, I called you all to answer some questions that are raised by the people of the world regarding the evolution map."
The hounds of the media world raised their ears. Hank smiled, and said, "The few things that everyone needs to understand about this technique before you demand the data to be made public. The technique doesn’t just enhance your physical parameters but also your psychological limitations as well. So, if the technique falls in the hands of a man whose thoughts are not peaceful enough.
Imagine what the consequence of that could cause the social order to go chaotic. So before you all ask for the technique, tell me if you have thought about countering the chaos that would be taking over?"
The reporters fell silent, they didn’t expect something like this to be disclosed. One of the reporters asked, "Your Grace, could you guide us on how this chaotic situation can be controlled? I am sure that since you proposed this to the government then you must have thought of a method to keep things in check.
After all, if not today, someday the technique would be made public, no?"
The old monk nodded and said, "You mentioned this very well, young friend. When this thing was mentioned we did think of some methods, but the one which was favored by everyone the most was conditioning of our thoughts.
The world today is very hectic, and the people are under a lot of stress, so we came up with the idea to have the people to focus on meditation first and divide the technique into various steps. Only when you have mastered the current phase would you be eligible to gain the further levels.
That is not all, to prove that you have managed to master the level, we would conduct tests, and it would be neutral, and fair for everyone. This way we would try to control the chaos as much as we can.
The first people who get access to this method would be law enforcement and emergency personnel. We are discussing this with the governments of the various countries and as soon as we have a sound policy, the first part of the technique would be introduced to the people of the world."
The media hounds looked at each other and nodded. Hank sighed and said, "What we all need to understand here is that while this technique can help improve the human brain and it’s potential, it would not be an overnight thing. Even someone as talented as the disciples selected by her holiness only managed to reach a higher level in a span of few years.
Patience and persistence is the key so I seek the understanding of all the people all over the world, to please trust us, the governments and the Shrine are really working hard to make this better."
The meeting came to an end and the people finished their questions. At this moment one of the reporters approached Hank and asked, "Lord Hank, may I ask if this technique has been tested by anyone in the modern era?"
The old monk smiled and said, "Yes, it has been tested and the results are quite good."
The reporter was surprised, he wanted to ask more about this method when he heard a faint voice in his mind, "All of your questions will be answered when the time comes, Young Friend."
The man was shocked and he opened his eyes wide. Just when he was about to yell, Hank patted his shoulder and softly said, "There is no need to be scared. This is what I gained after reaching the last level of the technique, and everyone else who manages to reach this level, they also gain the similar powers. Telepathy and telekinesis are just the beginning."
That said, the old monk calmed the nerves of the reporter and then climbed the stairs to head back to the mountain. After a few minutes, the rest of the reporters turned to look at their colleague and asked, "Lahm, what happened to you?"
The man replied, "I just saw a glimpse of what the future of the human race is going to be like. The people with bad minds won’t like it at all."
This made the other people very curious but Lahm didn’t say anything. He only replied, "It is about the code of journalists, I cannot tell you all anything."
...
Leo received the news and he sighed as he said, "Thankfully the old man didn’t name me, or the situative would have gone worse."
Lily smiled and replied, "You always worry too much Baba, why would the High Priest name you? He knows that you have not yet even reached the first level of the technique. If he was to name you among the various geniuses, it would only bring him shame."
