"As if our feet are glued to the ground?" I interjected.
Ushi nodded. "It requires a skill that we have so far failed to learn, Peter. But you have stepped beyond that a little. Celebrate the fact that you have at least recognized the problem and made some contributions. Having made this recognition, you are half way home to doing much more. In time you will become sensitive enough to recognize plenty of opportunities for making a profound difference in enriching people's life. That's quite something for you to look forward to, and for all of us, isn't it?"
I nodded in reply and returned her kiss, gratefully.
"By the way, I loved your post cards," said Ushi, after taking a sip of the fruit cocktail the hotel had provided. "Steve, too, was deeply moved by your gesture of sharing the bright spots that you found. He found them uplifting. He loved what he called that 'primitive idea' that the poem brought out and how you responded to it, saying that love is joy in the beauty of another, and that human beings exist to be cherished, because love exists. Steve loved those ideas. He said the poem is beautifully down to Earth, rudimentary, even if it doesn't bring out the fundamental element on which the whole structure rests, which is self-love in the sublime sense. He also said that it hints at the real principle of economics. You know how Steve talks. He found it refreshing to know that somebody had moved that far, and that someone else had treasured that idea enough to frame it and put it in a prominent place that others could respond to."
"Actually, I have seen this poem reflected in Tara," I confessed. "Tara is the kind of beautiful person that makes one sensitive to the beauty that one finds in humanity, which is rooted in all of us. By her development of this precious idea, I am certain that you have become more precious to me," I said to Ushi, "even if this seems hardly possible. Do you believe this to be possible, Ushi?"
"I think it's not only possible, Pete. This kind of sensitivity will continue to grow. That's a part of the evidence of the Principle of Universal Love coming alive in our being. That is a part of the evidence that we were looking for when we talked about this in Leipzig. Remember, we were looking for evidence that is indisputable."
I agreed. "But can we can start a movement in that direction?" I said to Ushi. "Can we move people, based on the freedom which our growing sensitivity has brought? It is possible that if we can do this ourselves, other people may begin to recognize what they too, should be fighting for in fighting for their humanity, instead of fighting a war against themselves, as I once did. Then people may not only begin to enrich their lives as we did, but they may also begin to wonder in what other respects they are fighting a war against themselves, like supporting the Global Warming Doctrine that prevents the creating of an Ice Age Renaissance. Once people recognize that they are fighting countless wars against themselves, they may empower themselves to turn their efforts around into a blessing."
I suggested to Ushi that it is physically impossible for anyone of society to have a rich and secure life in a decaying and collapsing world, no matter what people believe. I suggested that most people find it impossible to create the brighter world that they would love to live in because of generally accepted small-minded irrational beliefs. "They can't do what they hope to do," I said to Ushi, "because it goes against their grain to work for anything except their petty little self-interests, which isn't in their interest at all. In fact society has become religiously instructed in politically correct thinking, to commit itself to what is most to its disadvantage as human beings. In the modern world the watchword is to steal, rather than to build. Society has been trained to want it all now, without really knowing what it is that they want. They see an economy as a physical construct that provides them with things. But they are wrong."
