Chapter 5 - Helen a Healer

      "Another sublime concept is Life: We call our children "ours" as though we made them. But our part in the process is so minuscule that it is almost none-existent. In real terms the human biology is an incredibly intelligently arranged complex of harmonizing processes that we have no control over, which renders ourselves and our children, and of course all human beings, as offspring of an incredible chain of progressive intelligent creation with a culmination that became our humanity. Thus in real terms "our" children should be deemed the offspring of our common humanity, and be universally nurtured and supported, just as the whole of humanity should so regarded and be so supported. The unfolding of this higher sense of Life would eradicate child abuse, child neglect, child poverty, and poverty in general, including slavery. Poverty would then be deemed a crime against humanity, and so forth. In a faint sense we are already moving towards this, and even then, we do it rarely from a scientific basis. But this can all change and become science driven towards a new social and political world.

      "In my friend's perception, Truth is sublime, and I agree, because Truth is knowable. Lies in politics, or anywhere, are built on the sophistry that truth is just an object of opinion. This sophistry has foisted an epidemic of lies on humanity that is a chokehold of control that is liberally justifying anything: "In Lies We Trust!" This phase of insanity has become the watchword spoken by many. But truth is knowable. When this becomes acknowledged the entire political mess of today becomes overturned.

      "In my friend's perception, Love is the quality that is universal in our humanity, that binds us in cooperative union. It is an outflow that rejoices in the echo in the world of the profound qualities that are anchored within. When the heart is empty there is no love. A world without love speaks of an empty society. The philosopher Hobbes was hired to create an empty world. Huge efforts are made by the countless boot-troops of his related institutions in the modern war of empire versus civilization to reach that goal, to create an empty world, a world without love. We are already on the way. How empty and with little love is our monetarist world; a Fabian world; a fascist world; a world of underlings, self-enslaved; a world of gore and war?

      "Also my friend's sense of Soul is challenging. It is not a 'ghost' locked into a body, but is best described as our immortality, our creative power brought fourth in the mission of our humanity, a mission to widen and enrich civilization, and even to enrich the universe itself. In this mission, reflecting our Soul, we find the evidence that we are alive, the evidence of a life fulfilling a purpose. Then, even afterwards, when the body has rotted away in the grave, the evidence of our soul remains as a light and testament that we have added something in some fashion to civilization by having lived. In the war of empire versus civilization, one of the key goals is to create a soul-less society; a society without a renaissance, much less a constant renaissance; a society that is so dead that the rulers of empire have no challenge to fear from it.

      "As for the concept of Spirit, I think friend defines the term Spirit in part as 'divine substance;...  all that is good;...  which is perfect, everlasting, omnipresent, omnipotent, infinite.' She also points out that the plural form of the term is invalid. The term spirits would imply that the divine reflection in man, the nature of the good, perfect, everlasting, etc., is open to personal volition so that good is not a standard but a variable, which is open to regression and to becoming lost with the wind. Thus the moneybags now dictate to society what is good. On this road civilization is in grave danger. That danger is far greater than most people care to acknowledge, as a large segment of society now actually believes that mass-genocide is good.
