Chapter 1 - Gentle Winds

      "Prove it, Ushi? How?"

      "Let me tell you a story, Peter. The story is an ancient legend of the native Northwest coastal nations. It's a story about a magic canoe that enables the people in it to travel instantly to where they want to go. It is obvious how this kind or magic power to move instantly would have uplifted the whole community that has this canoe, in terms of finding fish and so forth. I am sure we would have even better uses for it today, if we had that kind of capability. Such a capability would for instance revolutionize space exploration. It would reduce the vast distances of space to zero. It would make the very concept of distance invalid. Of course we may never have this capacity in the physical world. We can't magically override the physical principles of the universe and the barriers they impose. However, we don't have these limitations in the metal realm, do we? What then would hinder us to reduce all the vast distances that stand between us human beings to zero, which we have set up foolishly to isolate us from one-another? I see no reason why these distances shouldn't be reduced to zero since no principle supports this universal division and isolation that we practice. According to Helen's model of the lateral lattice that you are familiar with, Peter, we all exist side by side laterally as children of the same humanity with no distance between us a matter of principle. Nothing exists in this reality that would isolate us as."

      I nodded. "You are right, of course," I said quietly. "Only by shutting down the strands of love that are the cement of the lateral lattice that Helen saw, which she beheld in progress, can the isolation between people occur. This shutdown of reality won't likely ever happen in the real world. It would mean shutting down our humanity. However, we do react as if this had actually happened."

      "That's the reality of our being, Peter," said Ushi. "No universal principle imposes isolation, much less the development of any distance between us as human beings."



      Ushi went back inside after she said this as the kettle began to whistle. She returned moments later. "Every concept of distance therefore appears to be invalid, Peter," she continued. "That is why I think we feel so close to each other. What we experience, you and I, appears to be the natural reflection of what is the reality of our being and all being. Helen's lateral lattice model that you are familiar with is merely a construct of what we already acknowledge to be true. So, why shouldn't we respond to what we acknowledge to be true? I am certain that we both already experience the reality that we have discovered. There exists no magical thing that the two of us have created by which we feel closer to each other. We experience the closeness that we do, because we have invalidated the concept of distance by discovering that the concept of difference has nothing to do with anything real. If the closeness that we feel were not already the reality of our being, we would never be able to artificially create it. To do so, would be paramount to overriding the design of our humanity. Luckily, there is no need for that. There is only a need to bring it out more fully. This tells me, Peter, that the same closeness that exists between us exists also between you, Heather, and Sylvia. So why would Sylvia have exploded in anger if you had invited Heather into you home for a few days? Don't you see, Peter, what you are afraid of exists only in the mythical world of the imperial vertical model where huge hierarchical distances have been artificially created between people to support the imperial hierarchical model of an artificial world?"

      "Sure, that's the lowest possible form of self-perception that I can imagine," I interjected. "But that doesn't apply to Sylvia and Heather and me."

      "That's what I have been trying to tell you, Peter. What you find impossible to accept is as far away from the truth as one can get," said Ushi. "It certainly doesn't represent us, and Sylvia and Heather, as far as I can tell. The entire construct of distance is nothing more than a lie that has been cleverly imposed on society, for society to imagine and respond to accordingly. So, why should we comply with that, responding to a lie? What people perceive at the lowest possible level of self-perception, were this lie is anchored, has nothing to do with reality. Why should we react to it? Shouldn't we rather react to what is real, the Principle of Universal Love, and enrich one-another's existence to the fullest possible extent? Why wouldn't Sylvia have embraced Heather with joy for that very reason, and have found herself enriched by embracing her? I see no reason why she would have closed the door? As a human being, which she is, as we all are, she has the capacity to react as a human being would react. She has this capacity now and always had that capacity. That is what is true today, and I can prove it."
