"Maybe the challenges were too great, which made this deep process unthinkable," I suggested.
Helen just nodded in reply. "Our task," she said, "is to make sure that the Principle of Universal Love and Universal Sovereignty becomes recognized again, and that this recognition begins to unfold at the grassroots level; that it becomes understood at this level, and becomes acknowledged there in a restructured way of living. Every builder knows that one has to build the foundation first. This holds true also for a renaissance. The foundation at the grassroots level is the key element. Such a foundation has never been built in all of human history, as far as I know. In fact, the opposite happened. Huge efforts have been made throughout history to prevent the building of such a foundation. Of course, warnings had been given that this foundation has not yet been built. Didn't Christ Jesus say something to the effect that a house built on sand is destined to fall?"
"Are you saying the builders of the golden Renaissance goofed?" I asked.
"Of course not, Peter. Those builders were pioneers in a largely illiterate society. They achieved magnificently. They just didn't achieve quite enough. Maybe it wasn't possible at this time to reach deeper, considering the cultural morass of the dark ages that the Renaissance pioneers had to build on. The same must be said about the Treaty of Westphalia. You should remember that the cultural morass of the mid 1600s was laced with beastmen ideologies of the Hobbesian type on one side, and the beastmen terror of the Spanish Inquisition on the other, with a similar mess in between created by the divine-right-of-kings mentality that made society look infinitesimally small in its own sight. Modern universal fascism evidently had its roots in this multilevel quagmire of utter inhumanity and sheer insanity. The Treaty of Westphalia was built in this kind of a world, which had become a slaughterhouse. Considering the circumstances it is absolutely astounding what those pioneers accomplished at this time. They reached very deep in setting up the stage for the Principle of Universal Love and Universal Sovereignty. The profoundly human biblical story of Susanna, which I mentioned earlier, evidently had made such a big impact in this fight that the story became banned later on by the enemies of humanity and was subsequently removed from the Bible."
"Did this great world-constitution, which the Treaty of Westphalia became, really get started with an ancient biblical story?" I asked with amazement, "or did you just make this up?"
"Maybe it didn't start it, but the story probably had a big impact on pushing the process ahead. Maybe the story was the key element that made it possible, Peter. They had no newspapers in those days. But we do know that Rembrandt van Rijn, the famous artist of the 1600s, had painted a painting of the scene of Susanna being surprised in her garden. That painting still exists, and it probably has helped to spread the story. It is a profound story. I wish we could revive that story today, because it would cast on today's ruling imperial elite the same mantle of ignoble liars. But don't look for the story in the Bible. It has been censored and removed. It used to be Chapter 13 of the Book of Daniel. Now it can only be found in the Apocrypha, a collection of 'expired' biblical texts."
"How can a biblical story become expired or be banned?" I said in continuing amazement.
"That's simple, Peter, by not printing it anymore. But don't be surprised my friend, that kind of censorship still happens today. Whatever isn't politically acceptable simply gets left out. It's called, the freedom of the press." She began to laugh and asked me why I was surprised. She suggested that this is how America is dragged to hell by the nose. "Some day they'll probably put the Susanna story back into the Bible, but we don't have the required honesty for that yet."
