Ross told Fred that he became intrigued and did some further research into what the woman stood for who had such a profound effect on people. He told Fred that he had recognized her to have been a highly advanced spiritual scientist who had among other accomplishments created a vast pedagogical structure designed for individual scientific and spiritual development. He told Fred that this structure came to light in the form of a sixteen-element matrix in which among many other aspects, marriage is focused on, and is being raised there, from the level an institution to that of a science. Ross said that this science of marriage came to light as an open door to the universal domain as a universal principle.
"Can you imagine what this means?" I said to Fred, entering the conversation. "This New England woman has put on the table for the first time in history the principle of the universal marriage of humanity as human beings and has defined it as an aspect of our humanity. She defined something in concrete terms that I had vaguely recognized for years, but had never scientifically understood. She had also illustrated the effect of this principle in the healing of that woman who had been paralyzed. History seems to suggest that she may have had this kind of effect of the whole world."
"Are you saying that these principles that she understood and documented have the potential to change the world, and may have in fact already changed history?" said Fred astonished. "You realize of course that what you are suggesting is impossible. It makes no sense."
"That's what I thought," said Ross. "But I can't ignore the coincidence of those two factors. The woman's discovery of a spiritual science and her working with it from 1866 till here death in 1910, coincides almost exactly with the timeframe of that one single almost-50-year period of peace that we have seen on our planet in half a millennium. I can't just shrug this off and say that it is insignificant. Maybe it is significant."
"Maybe there is no connection at all," said Fred. "Maybe the real connection hasn't been discovered yet. Maybe the Union Victory of the Civil War caused this remarkable period of 50 years of peace."
"You can look at it any way you like," said Ross. "But you can't deny that something profound happened in that period and that there is something intriguing about it."
"I don't think the Civil War victory was that profound that it caused this amazing period of peace in history," I added to what Ross said. "War doesn't create peace. Peace is created on a higher level. It unfolds from a movement that is powered by an actively recognized universal principle that causes people to act accordingly. War doesn't do this. In real terms there was no victory won at all during the Civil War. The Civil War was a disaster that didn't end with a victory over war. Nothing came from it that brought an active peace. The war ended when the South had exhausted its resources to fight. Historians tell us that the victory was not a decisive one. A real victory over war was wrought only once in history. That happened in 1648 when a new renaissance was created with the recognition of a profound principle that caused all the warring parties to lay their weapons down and work for peace. In this case, war itself was defeated, and it was defeated by a principle. That kind of victory never happened again as far as I know. The Civil War didn't end with that kind of victory. The Civil War ended like World War II ended, or World War I ended before it. These wars were contests between gigantic killing machines. In either war the contest ground to a halt when one of the killing machines destroyed the resources for the other. No victory was won for mankind. The Second World War was supposed to be a war to defeat fascism. The victory over fascism never happened. Fascism flourished bigger than ever after the war. It spread into America and around the world. It was the same with our Civil War. Officially the Civil War abolished slavery, but did it really? Slavery continued on in countless different ways, and it is now bigger than ever. No Fred, I think something else caused those rare 50 years of peace that coincided with the period of the profound spiritual work that this pioneering woman of New England had put on the table of mankind. Something resulted from this work that was rooted in a profound principle, whatever that was."
