Chapter 4 - God and the Devil.

      The man said that during the meeting at the psychological warfare institute a new plan had been brought forward that had been designed to destroy the moral conscience at the very earliest stage of a person's development, targeting children. The human being is at its most impressionable stage during the first five to six years of life.

      "The plan that was put on the table, was to create cute little toy creatures for the children, or images of the creatures, and they would be presented to possess special powers for killing. The children would be made to become fond of the little creatures and their powers to kill. Also the creature toys would be made small enough to be carried around by the children wherever they went. One of the proposed ideas was to create little gas monsters that suck the soul out of a human being and turn the dehumanized victims into angry and mad killers who would kill everything in sight in an uncontrollable rage when set loose."

      The man said that this specific idea was later defeated at the meeting that he had attended. He conceded though, sadly, that a slightly worse form of the idea was eventually implemented.

      "A nuclear war has been declared against our children and against our own humanity," he said. "We, in this room, have a responsibility to counter this war, and we can do this. We must do this. The alternative is simply unthinkable. The only option that we have, to do that, is to develop our honesty towards one-another as human beings and the beauty of the human Soul. Can you imagine what it could mean for the human race when we fail, when those demoralized children grow up to adulthood without becoming human beings with human feelings and an innate honesty with themselves? Can you imagine the consequences if these children grow up without a Soul, without a conscience, and become politicians, military leaders, business executives? Even now, all the wars in the last century were driven by an increasing insanity. People tend to become insane in proportion to their neglect in nurturing their real moral conscience, which is their honesty with themselves, their humanity, which should be ingrained in their constitution."

      He said that he found the girl watching speech a welcome reversal of this terrible trend. It focused on a person becoming honest with his or her own self. It focused on the appreciation of human beings in a deeply felt unity with one-another, forging a bond without borders and without limits.



      He stepped away from the lectern like Tony had, and took the microphone with him. He went to the very edge of the speakers' platform and looked at the audience in silence for a moment.

      "By the reaction I have sensed here," he said, "many of you have found the girl watching speech disturbing. This is so, because society's moral values have been twisted into the wrong direction, and some of that has been done by institutions similar to the one I described, and some of that in very distant times. You are supposed to feel the convulsion that you may have felt. That had been their intent, no doubt. I wasn't there in ancient times, but I have seen the process in action in our time. In the ancient world they imposed the death penalty for the most human acts, and in the most dehumanizing manner by throwing stones at people until they die. They had even society itself carry out the atrocities, with everyone watching, including the children. That destruction of a people's humanity came from the same type of imperial hellhole that I had been invited to witness. The tragedy is, that we find countless people in society who do not find this disturbing, who would instead find the girl watching speech disturbing. The people who would be disturbed by this speech are those who find value in their stock portfolios that represent a people's cleverness in stealing from one-another, who regard the destruction of civilization and the murdering of society, a virtue."
