When our dessert arrived I brought two candles out of my briefcase and lit them and gave them to her. She gave one of them back to me with a smile and with tears in her eyes. "I'm speechless," she said. "It's amazing how one small change in a ceremony can change the world of one."
"The resulting profound sense of immortality and unity takes away the various bookends that we tend to squeeze our life in-between," I said, reaching for her hand. "The shift in focus puts the focuses onto the substance of living, the intellect, the spiritual identity that is ours, and our universal love that is already uplifting civilization, without which we would have no civilization at all. What really matters in life can only be referenced by infinity itself. This reflects your endless day, Indira, your Indira-day, a day for celebrating the brightness of your being that is a light for the world, a light that brightens the universe."
Indira smiled shyly, but said sothing.
"This is the principle that the New England woman represents," I said. "It is something uniquely American. It is also something that I can proudly present to you as a present, because it is something incredibly rich, something which we haven't even begun to explore yet in earnest in order to unlock its riches."
I added that all of this is truly, only the beginning. I told Indira that it was this pioneering New England woman who had also developed the principle of the universal marriage of mankind on the platform of an advanced form of science that she has developed that takes a person far beyond the sophistry of ancient religious perversions. "This woman's truth-bound marriage concept is evidently based on the recognition that we are all human beings in the highest possible sense, meaning by this that we are all 'children' of the same humanity and the same divine universal Soul that is our human soul. We are all bound to this fundamental reality of our being, in which our divinity as human beings comes to light."
I explained to Indira that in real terms this woman didn't actually create that new concept of marriage when she discovered the principle of the universal marriage of mankind. She merely presented a natural universal principle in the most scientific manner possible. She thereby opened the door to a reality that had already been established and had been the reality of human society for as long as human beings have walked the Earth. "Consequently, when the woman created a church that she designed for scientific mental healing she made no provisions for setting up small artificial marriage bonds, like the narrow bonds that society clings to. Had she made such a provision it would have stood in denial of the truth that takes us beyond the small sphere and the artificial sphere, the sphere of the limited and incomplete concepts of our already existing universal marriage."
"So you are not here to scrap the marriage concept, are you?" Indira interjected.
"I couldn't crap it if I wanted to, Indira. No one can scrap a universal principle. Could anyone ever scrap the principle of universal gravitation? The marriage principle reflects a universal gravitation of a different kind that we can't get away from. No one can scrap the fact that we are all human beings and depend on one another for our very existence. We can't get away from that. However, we can apply the principle that is involved and apply it more fully and amore efficiently."
"I don't understand what you are getting at," said Indira in a quite tone.
I told Indira that this woman had created a vast pedagogical structure for exploring all the various universal principles of human existence, and that this structure was like a matrix divided into four individual development streams. I pointed out that one of these development streams incorporates marriage as a science, which unfolds towards the recognition of the universal marriage of mankind as a matter of universal principle. "Of course Mary had done more than that," I added. "She also changed the scale by which we measure our scientific and spiritual development. Society commonly measures its development on a scale ranging from zero to ten, but Mary extends the scale into the negative as well. And guess what she labels the zero point?"
