"Everybody knows that it is just a matter of time before we blow up the world. Some people even warn that we're on the fast track to eradicate all life on this planet with radioactive pollution from our new DU bombs, the slow-acting 4th generation nuclear weapon, which are about to mass-produce by the tens of millions," I added. "I agree, we can't undo the knowledge of how to build any of those bombs. The knowledge for building them remains with us forever. And so, the potential we have developed to radically destroy our planet will always remain with us. But can we eradicate the danger of that potential by eradicating our isolation from one another as human beings that has been getting deeper and become more universal? This can be done?"
"If we assume even to the slightest degree that this can't be done then we have already lost, Peter," said Fred. "Then we assume that we are not human beings. As human beings we have that potential. Our task is to develop the potential that we have so that we will eradicate the danger that comes with advancing technologies. It's a small challenge that we face with this, because the power to meet that challenge is already built into our humanity. We don't have to reinvent mankind, we just have to bring out humanity to light even though this has been rarely done before. And so we can make the knowledge obsolete, for making war, and render it inconsequential. Thereby we make war obsolete."
"I agree this can be done," I interjected. "It has to be done, but how, how, how? That's the question. How does one eradicate isolation."
Fred laughed. "That's elementary, Peter. It can be done that way it has always been done, with our humanity, Peter. It's principle are not designed to cause isolation. Isolation has no principle. It is a black-hole type void that has no principle. Darkness has no principle in comparison with the principle of light. Darkness is a void that light displaces with its radiance. We are that light, and that light is already shining."
Fred asked me to consider how many knives every family has in their kitchen. "How many of these are large enough to kill another person with? There are many such knives in every household, no doubt. We need them to live, to prepare our meals. In that case the technology exists on a massive scale to kill one another and so does the knowledge of how to use a knife for killing, but both the technology and the knowledge are completely irrelevant. Our humanity had made them irrelevant. It prevents us from using the means we have for killing one another. That is also how we can be save ourselves from nuclear weapons once we eradicate the insanity of near universal division that has already robed us of a large chunk our humanity. We have to rebuild what we lost. That's how we overcome isolation. We are united by our humanity and not isolated from one another by it. We are a people of a common universal humanity and a common universal human soul. That's the fundamental truth."
"The platform that you propose has to reflect the Principle of Universal Love," I interjected.
Fred nodded.
"I knew this all along," I said, "but never in such terms."
Fred nodded again. "Is isolation possible under the Principle of Universal Love? Ask yourself that, Peter. Is the isolation of mankind from one-another supported by any real universal principle? That's an important question too, and the answer to both questions is, NO! The answer has to be a resounding NO, because the Principle of Universal Love is the principle of the universe and of mankind. As Ross said many times, there are no antagonistic principles in the universe or else it would not exist. Take one principle away or make it antagonistic, like the principle of universal gravity, and the whole universe would disintegrate. But there are no such phenomena as antagonistic principles. All principle are harmonizing. This pattern is evidently reflected also in the principles of humanity and the principles of civilization. No counteracting principle exists. The imperial policies of stealing, hating, killing, making war, and so forth are black-hole voids resulting from interventions that have drained the humanity from society and replaced the void with irrational ideologies that are a void themselves. The universe isn't built on voids or conflicting principles. The universe is the manifest of an array of singular active, cooperative principles. By acknowledging the real nature of the universe as being cooperatively harmonious we acknowledge ourselves and with it our essential unity. No one exists in isolation from that universe that we are also a part of. Isolation is a false belief that is used for making war, but it has no truth in it. Peace means that we snap out of those false beliefs and acknowledge the principles of our humanity. That makes peace an active process, and unity an undeniable reality. Peace can never be passive. Only isolation is passive. It's the result of dense blindness to the truth."
