Or 13 powers. There are many other powers at play. 13 hold the keys. The problem unsolved is who holds the 13th key.

12 of the keys can be identified and traced back generations.

Now far away in some recess the lord and the Devil. Now play Chess.

Way back. Even further back than Once Upon a Time. There was people. A large community would be made up from generations. We were a sick people way back then too. As soon as we could talk. We told scary stories to kids to keep them quiet at night.

Something we still do till this day. Personally I do not tell kids scary stories. Because it makes it hard to sleep.

Now. There was this fella. He was one of the first, what we call today. Humans. Something happened and his regenerative cell process was improved. This meant he lived longer and experienced more. He outlived all of his relatives more than once. 13 times in all he took a bride. Each gave him a son or more. These offspring would also live long lives. Though not as long as their father. Also some illness could still kill some.

Over a period of a very very long long time. This fella, got a lot of stuff during his life. Land, animals, jewellery, gems, sea shells. All kinds of stuff.

With each new wife, his time was spent educating his son's in what held their interest. Along side their interests. He would also tach them about ruling over a population. About economy and needing a force to defend against a predator. They had no adversary. They were the first people.

All of his children could read and all were given a copy of this fella's intent. They each received an equal share without dispute. Each got land suitable to the needs of their interests.

One said. Leave my lands to be wild and let nature decide the fate of those who stay.

Another said. Let my lands be used in remembrance of our father. I will take my needs and give the rest to my fathers people.

The rest said nothing. They talked among themselves about what the other 2 gave up. How will they live, survive?
Then the scheming began. The others began pairing off and discussing how if they combined forces. They could take the abandoned lands.

Wars broke out. How could they not? An agreement was made. In war, the leader of each group and family were granted safe passage out of held lands and taken lands. Exiled not to return. Populations began to rise up all over the place. Declaring and defending the new lands they had walked in to. Seizing land by self entitled right.

Some things never change, eh.

Building and eviction caused humans to spread far and wide. Some even moving extreme distances to begin something new without fear of invasion. That lasted thousands of years for some. Yet they still ended up fighting among themselves.

The same tribal wars are still being fought today. There are 13 tribes all fighting to be the dominant. One has the title of religion. There is another 11, of varying strength still vying to survive. These are known. Where what who is the 13th.

Digging deep enough you can find what front those tribes are fighting and defending. On the 13th you cannot. The actions of this 13th party is hidden.

Somethings do change though. And it is now you are in a position to have a say by saying the same thing as others. But then, even if you join forces. How can you trust the other? When money so easily sways the loyalty of so many.

Or you could oppose for the sake of opposing and having no debate. Without discussion or debate. There is only bad choices.

This post is made from a compilation of things I have heard over years. The truth or fiction to it. You find for yourself. Half of what is wrote, may have come from a conversation I had with you.
