I assured him that no President would be able to do anything about this, such as shutting down the entire world-financial system. That wouldn't be possible for as long as the illusion continues that the current system is OK. The President would then be accused of shutting down what appears to be a healthy economy. Consequently it won't happen.

      "Are you are telling me then that we won't be able to do our job? Are you saying that we have no hope to ever awaken humanity from its illusions, including the President?" Steve replied. "That's worse than surrendering. It's criminal incompetence. To do nothing on this front with the gravest tragedy looming on the horizon amounts to committing genocide on an unimaginable scale. But you are not incompetent, Peter. You can do what needs to be done. Tell your President that he has no option, but to do what must be done to protect humanity and our nation. Make it his task to achieve that. He has to develop the constituency for what needs to be done. Help him with that too, Pete, or help him resign his post immediately. Failure in either direction is not an option. To do nothing must never be contemplated. The fact is the President has no choice but to comply, and neither do we. He must shut the collapsing private world-financial system down before it disintegrates, or else he must resign and you must help him. He must not be allowed to let the entire world be overwhelmed by the consequences of his failure to fulfill the mandate of his office. We mustn't let this happen."

      I promised Steve I would pass his message on.

      "No, passing on won't do. You must actively educate the President to do what must be done. Tell him to be honest with himself. You must make him understand what is involved. There is only one type of solution possible and this can only be assured if the underlying principle is completely understood. If he can't understand that, he must go, and he must be made to understand that he MUST go. You must understand this yourself, Pete. Simply eliminating artificial barriers does not create unity between people. The principle of the unity must be understood. Simply firing an incompetent ruler doesn't create a New World. The principle of competent living must be understood for what is. The President needs to understand this in order to comply. Actually Peter, much more than the President, society needs to understand the principle of competent living and comply. In a democratic world, society IS the King. Unfortunately, in our present world this king has become more incompetent than even the president is. That's the bottom line, Peter. Society is the real King in a democracy. Democracy means that society is taking responsibility for its general welfare. In America the real King has become incompetent, which is society. That needs to be reversed. And the first thing this real King has to do, is get rid of the imposter."

      I raised my hand. "Now I understand Steve, what you've been saying all along. You've been saying that the real king is society itself and not the President. If society is incompetent then the President is merely following its lead. If society refuses to be King, can you blame the man from wanting to fill the vacancy."

      "Now you're getting the idea," said Steve and laughed. "Ah, but now you have a lot of work to do."

      "You've also been saying that while we can replace the President, we can never replace society. We can only heal society by educating it in the science of the principle of competent living. That's what is really demanded of us, isn't it? Society, once it is healed, will then be able to deal with its President from its position as the real King and the imposter will remove itself."

      Steven nodded and grinned. He motioned me to go on.

      "I suppose what you are also saying to me is that it would be the kindest and most affectionate and daring step that anyone of us could take, if we were to go to the President and have a talk with him and suggest an equitable solution to rescue the man from his folly before society acts from its position as the King and forces a solution."
