I said in summation, "If we remain stuck at the lover levels nothing will be accomplished of what needs to be accomplished, and consequently the approaching Ice Age will overwhelm us and only a few mankind will be able to survive. This means that we have to get ourselves unstuck and gain a progressive, scientific, sublime self-perception where we recognize ourselves as human beings with a common universal humanity that we all share, and with the power to change the universe. Here the Principle of Universal Love comes to light as the empowering impetus. I think the Principle of Universal Love is the sun that unfolds behind the Truth in the third etching. The living truth takes us beyond animalistic animation and emotional motivation to being empowered by the principles of the universe, and by the principle of our humanity as the tallest species of life on the planet, the Principle of Universal Love."
Sylvia returned to the third etching. "In the light of the Principle of Universal Love all the vital things invariably begin to happen without anyone pushing them," I said. "Here the very notion of universal division and isolation is invalid. The common welfare of humanity becomes each person's welfare. It will then be understood that education is an essential step to achieve nuclear fusion, and that nuclear fusion power is the gateway to infinite energy and material resources, and that these will enable us to grow our food indoors when food can longer be grown sufficiently outdoors in an Ice Age environment. Right now nobody gives a damn, and the truth is dead for society, but at the sublime level, in the light of the Principle of Universal Love, all of these essential processes will become almost self-unfolding, or more correctly, self-empowered by the power of the human being responding to the universal principles that bring the truth to life in us. The key element in this process is the Principle of Universal Love. Everything else is secondary, Olive. What happened to me in East Germany, therefore was an adventure of discovery into the land of the Principle of Universal Love. Things developed from there. Yes, some long-standing emotions have become invalidated along this path, but only because they had no validity to begin with, being artificial constructs from ancient times serving imperial objectives. They loose their validity at the sublime level of our spiritual and scientific self-discovery as human beings. We should celebrate with joy as we see them disappear. In fact, in an environment that unfolds into joy, they disappear quite naturally. Darkness has no place in the light."
Sylvia raised her hand to stop me. "I don't think there is such a thing as spiritual science, Peter," she interrupted. "Spirit and Science are opposites."
"No, they are not opposites, Sylvia. Science is a tool for progressive understanding and discovery. Science is still dead in the second etching but she begins to unfold and unfolds fully in the third etching. Here the full-breasted woman fulfills her promise. Progressive scientific spiritual self-discovery leads to the sublime unfolding of profound truths about us as human beings, and about our freedom to uplift the world."
"Scientific, spiritual self-discovery?" Sylvia repeated questioningly.
"Yes Sylvia. Self-discovery is a vital process. Just look at the third etching. Wouldn't any person, man or woman, discover in it something of the fullness of our humanity?" I said.
I asked Sylvia to sit down with me in the middle of the Black Room, on the black bench that was provided. "Let me tell you something about the spiritual scientific dimension," I continued, "and the higher ideas of Truth that have the potential to uplift your life as they have uplifted mine, something that we should have been pursuing all along, all the time, but haven't. So it really comes down to that, that whenever we face problems we should see those problems as a warning. We should see them as a warning that we still lag far behind in uplifting one-another. The world really looks different from the vantage point of the higher level thinking that Schiller called the sublime."
