"Universal love is an element of this truth," said Steve. "Civilization wouldn't exist without it."
"In this we are one with the universe and its infinitely unfolding dimension, just as we are one with each other in the truth of universal love," I said to Steve. "Maybe we command the universe and the universe obeys by its very nature, according to the principles that we create, with which we enrich it. We have already discovered evidence to some degree that this universally enriching process is really happening."
"So, how are you going to tell any of this to the President, and get him to understand where the boundaries really lie?" said Steve.
"How can anyone predict anything with certainty then, when so much about our world and our humanity remains unknown to us, even as we are extending it?" I said instead of answering his question. "I can only judge from what we know."
"From this crude standpoint of our still limited knowledge, from the standpoint of statistical probability," said Steve, "it is an absolute miracle that we are still alive in this world that is brimming with 65,000 nuclear bombs and financial portfolios that are sheer fantasy in physical terms. We live in a world that is super-charged with hyper-tensions, governed by irrational and insane rulers, and overshadowed by a huge pile nuclear bombs that are tied into some of the most complex strategic technologies ever invented. We are vulnerable to computer failures, communications failures, sabotage, coercion, even terrorism, and still we survive. It's a miracle, really, that we do. We shouldn't have survived in that environment for as long as we have, certainly not for tens of years. But we did survive, and we still do. So tell me, Peter, how do you define the operating principle of something that can only be seen by its outcome, which we may have consciously created with our intelligence, and which totally defy statistical probabilities?"
"The answer lies in the Principle of Universal Love," I interrupted him. "There is still enough love left to power this miracle, but it's fast fading. We may see factors of a higher spiritual quality coming to light In this love that are linked to our spiritual humanity, something that we are not even consciously aware of. It's like we are a part of a qualitatively changing universe that is coming to light in progressive cycles of new forms of life and new capabilities with new potentials. Unfortunately we are running away from that."
"This subject involves questions for which we don't know the answer yet, Peter," said Steve. "Still, with all of that considered we can trust the principles that we already understand. In understanding these principles and their potential we also understand that we have failed utterly in the past. World War I was allowed to happen, likewise World War II, and every war thereafter. These utter failures should not have happened. We had gone beyond those stages in periods of renaissance. That we fell back below the renaissance threshold is a sign of incompetence in living. It is incompetence in living as human beings. This incompetence must not be allowed to continue."
"Don't hold your hopes up too high in regard to nuclear war," I said, "because we are still sliding backwards into ever greater incompetence. Don't get too comfortable with the fact that nuclear war hasn't happened yet, Steve. The faster we slide into the sewer, the less likely it becomes that our spiritual qualities and spiritual potentials will continue to keep our heads above the water. Therefore, my answer to the President must be that he shouldn't panic about the economic crisis that isn't a real crisis yet, that he should instead be panicking about us all drowning in the sewer that he opened up with his incompetence."
"The economic crisis," said Steve, "it isn't big yet, but it will be in the near future. The big crisis today is the unseen crisis of society running headlong in the wrong direction and away from the Principle of Universal Love. It is a crisis of incompetence. The crisis of incompetence is reaching critical levels," added Steve. "You must tell the President that the future looks black for as long as he is the captain of this 'ship' that he steering into an iceberg field. From a political standpoint the Soviet Union poses no threat. By what I see happening, the Russian leaders understand the economic reality better than the American President does, which doesn't say much for our President. Also from the standpoint of the higher-level truth that unites us with one-another and the universe, we appear to be even more secure with the little bit of truth and love that we have still left, than the President dares to imagine. Indeed, there is still some love left all over the world, as little as this may be. So tell your President to reign in his horses and keep his missiles at bay. Hysteria is not justified. Tell him that the West will recover quickly from the present glitch in its financial system, even if the system is but a hollow shell. Tell him that the bankers will plug the hole that opened up. They'll do it by hook or by crook, or by all kinds of devious means, but they will recover their system. They will recover their system even if they have to inflate it by printing more and more money. They will do this by these and by whatever other devious devices that they can think of to recover their system. They will patch this dying thing up, because they don't have anything that they can replace it with and still survive as an empire. They will keep on with this, because society isn't prepared to take their dying system out of their private hands and scrap it."
