I told Ushi about Tara and our little group's daring to ask Tara out for dinner, which she couldn't allow herself to accept. I suggested that if she had been able to move with that, she would have made a bunch of people very proud to be so privileged, which she would have enjoyed tremendously. But she couldn't consent to this, because it would have offended another person who had evidently demanded that this war against herself be fought relentlessly and be won by her.

      "I am puzzled as to who demanded this same type of fighting in Sylvia's case, against herself?" Ushi asked.

      "You should know the answer to this," I replied.

      "Yes Peter, it was you who made that demand," she said to me. "You set the example. You were the champion of the cause. You set the stage. You said so yourself that you led the way! You were Sylvia's role model. But suppose for a moment that Sylvia and you were both thinking like Steve. How would this change the background? How might this have reflected itself in Sylvia's response towards you and Heather?"

      I began to smile here that must have surprised her. She began to grin in return.

      "In this case Sylvia would have insisted that I invite Heather to the house without fail. In fact, she would have invited her herself, if she have had prior knowledge of our possible coming. She might even have insisted that the depth of our association be maintained during the full length of her stay and continue to grow without end. This is what I suppose Steve would have done, had I stayed any longer in Leipzig."

      "What you just said could have come true," Ushi replied with a smile. "And it will come true with Heather. I think you will find each other again. I even predict that you will have a wonderful journey together, you, Heather, Sylvia, and whoever else might yet come into your life. You might even want to include me one day as a part of your growing intimate family."

      "You already are as far as I am concerned," I interrupted her. "I am certain that Sylvia would have found the short period of Heather living with us a rich one for her. Heather is a bright and loving person, full of life, a joy to be with, just like you. And she would most certainly welcome you too on the same basis."

      "That's precisely what I am talking about," said Ushi. "Steve found the day that we had together in Leipzig, richly rewarding for that reason." Here Ushi paused and began to grin. "And guess who is paying for the cost of our hotel room here?"

      "Steve? - No, not Steve!"

      She nodded, now grinning even more. "Steve offered it when you were on the phone that day."

      My mouth fell open. "How can I ever repay him?" I asked when the shock wore off.

      "I'm sure you already have," she said with a smile. "I can't wait to tell Steve what you told me about you having started a movement in Russia that has the potential to change the world, meaning that you have already taken your first step in creating a New Renaissance, an Ice Age Renaissance, as you call it. Isn't it amazing how a new sunrise can unfold from such a small start as we had in Leipzig when we met, and really change the world? Steve knows that mankind will have to do this globally in order to survive, but to hear the same confirmed from you, and to hear that you may have already helped to bring this sunrise one step further onto the global policy agenda will give him great joy."

      "Tell Steve that one day we will all live in this rich New World that we dreamed about back then," I interjected. "Tell him that our Renaissance World will be a world in which the East has been restructured with a human focus and the West has given up its fascination with poverty, fascism, and fostering imperial wars and depopulation. Tell him that this future world will be a bright human world in which the West has lost its devotion to stealing and has embraced the General Welfare Principle that the USA had been founded on and has elevated it to a global principle. Tell him that this will be a world in which the geopolitical empires no longer exist, and might not even be remembered in; a world in which all elements of society are integrated into a community of principle, embracing the Principle of Universal Love. Tell him that the greatest obstacle to human prosperity is not the West, or the East, or the oligarchy, but the small-minded thinking that underlies the imperial system that has erroneously been adapted around the world in every sphere and on every level. Tell him that this system is already dying, being a system that had divided and crippled the world, but which soon will exist no more. Tell him that we have begun to counter this crippling system with love, and that it will be overturned some day soon. Tell him that we have begun to hasten that day, thanks to his own great generosity and his keen scientific thinking. Do you think Steve will believe that?" I added.
