Chapter 5 - The Thousand-Year Celebration

      Anton just laughed.

      "Of course we lost our 'We the People' perception in America," I sad and began to laugh also, "if indeed the concept was ever fully established in people's heart. It's a tall challenge. It's not easy to hold onto, Anton. And when it is lost the resulting hierarchical state reflects the model of the vertically separated doctrine that defines mankind under the Byzantine system as but dirt, 'benignly' enslaved. In the original Christian ideology the concept of a 'common' person is impossible to perceive since everyone is endowed with the highest identity that can possibly be perceived that render mankind as equal in quality with God. In comparison, the Byzantine belief system is a defective system," I said to Anton. "Beware of it! Don't close your eyes to it! It shouldn't be celebrated. It should be scrapped. It's a vertical system that imposes a hierarchical dictatorship over people. There is no 'We the people' in it. It imposes elitism and a central authority that dominates society. It opens the hell-gate to the red-hot circus of lies. If it is not erased it will destroy civilization. Hitler milked this red-hot ideology to the extreme as he made himself the absolute dictator, the liar-in-chief, putting himself above the law, to the point of being the law. Nazism is an extension of the Byzantine system that opens the floodgates to the worst kind of fascism that is superceded only in modern days. In a vertical hierarchical system you always have a ruling class that is above the law or claim to be the law, superimposing itself upon a class of peasants or slaves to be ruled, the general society that the imperials laugh at."

      "I suppose this ideological flavor define our Soviet society well that proclaims itself to be a society of peasants and workers, instead of being a society of human beings with near infinite potential?" said Anton. "It hurts to see ourselves in this manner, but it is hard to deny that it is true."

      "This blocking factor of crude primitivism also defines the western imperial society that promotes everything the crude and degrading" said I. This means that we were dragged even deeper into the imperial sewer. In the imperial vertical world mankind ends up dragged into the sewer, the lowest place there is, nicely filled with the scum of degrading ideiologies, the home of the sewer rats like Aristotle, Hobbes, Malthus, and Adam Smith, and so on. In contrast, the concept of 'We the People' is built on the highest principle I know, the Principle of Universal Love, and it really means in actual terms that 'We the Human Beings' are the light of the world. This true concept of mankind that was once set up by the brightest humanist pioneers of a renaissance and was proudly acknowledged by much of the world is presently drifting farther and farther out of sight while the Byzantine 'fog' is flooding the seascapes all over the world, including America and Russia."

      Anton nodded and said quietly that America should rejoice over what it once had, even though it has been lost. "Russia was never allowed to rise that high."

      "That's the strangling effect of the Byzantine system," I said to her. I cautioned her though to be generous with herself and to look at the world with open eyes. I suggested that society should look upon itself in the light of the lateral model as a 'royal' people in the tallest possible sense of the word, being on the same qualitative level as God or being at one with God. "The human being is a spiritual being," I said to her. "Intelligence is spiritual. Love is spiritual. Understanding, discovery, and self-development, expressions in art, music, literature, science, technologies, and so on, are all spiritual aspects, aspects of a profound intelligence that nothing in the world can match. And that is the true image that we should behold and see ourselves reflected in."

      I suggested to Anton that there should be a community of principle among all people in the world for the simple reason that all mankind reflects this tall image. "It should be reflected in our self-assessment and self-love universally that furnishes the basis for loving one-another and enriching one-another. On this platform society would be able to escape from the sewer of the sewer rats. But this tall for the self-perception of society isn't allowed anywhere in the world, certainly not in today's America or Russia," I said to her. "Wherever this perception takes root and develops and unfolds, it is quickly stomped out of existence."
