"Of course, if sex had really been an element of marriage by divine design," I said to Anton, "I am sure the devil would have come up with some clever scheme for shutting it down. But he didn't, you see. As he admitted to Mr. God himself, that whole marriage mythology was his own scheme, packaged with sex and all, including jealousy that didn't really work."
"But Peter, if the devil didn't find the lumping together of sex and marriage in Mr. God's design, why should we find them lumped together?" Anton asked. "You have started a pretty clever dialog with this Mr. God and Mr. Devil story," she added and laughed.
Moments later she became serious. "Let's not play that game that the devil invented as a means for destroying our humanity with something that doesn't really exist by design. Heather is right, the marriage of humanity isn't driven by sex. I think marriage reflects an overriding, natural reality that simply manifests our universally common humanity that we all share. Sex, really, isn't a natural factor in that."
"We have to deal with that separately and make something good out it," I said, "so that no one will ever be hurt by it. We certainly wouldn't want to throw it away. We have to defeat the devil's project. We certainly wouldn't want to defeat our love. And let's be honest, our love for one-another has a sexual flavor, but that should be enveloped with a lot of other things, big things, like generosity, integrity, joy. We have to defeat the devil, which is our own self-denial, which robs us of our humanity. That devil is real. It needs to be defeated. And it will be defeated by us reclaiming the light of our life. I think we can do this by helping one-another, by bringing out the riches of one-another."
Anton just laughed. "That sounds funny defeating the devil."
"But it can be done, Anton. Did I tell you how the first Bosnian War was defeated? There were three ethnic groups fighting each other. The war was going on for years and getting worse. Then a small group from Germany stepped in and showed to the people who were fighting each other how they were all enticed to kill one-another for somebody else's objectives. In response, the people simply stopped fighting each other and banded together and defeated their real enemy. That really happened. Anton that's history. We can follow this approach whenever problems emerge. It may be challenging to defeat all the emotional baggage that has become associated with the devil's games that have kept us apart for over a dozen years, but we can stop these games and step up to a higher platform, a platform of love, and joy, and generosity, where rape can never exist because it cannot be thought of."
Anton nodded as before, but her smile became a grin. "You say that really happened and we can do that too?"
"The people who did this thing in Bosnia were associated with the same dead poet who defeated Napoleon in Russia," I added.
"A dead poet defeated Napoleon. How can this be possible, Peter?" Anton began to laugh, then stopped. "Are you serious?" she asked.
"Sure, I am serious. This was done by understanding the games that were being played. Friedrich Schiller was Germany's foremost freedom poet. After Schiller was assassinated, his friend and fellow researcher escaped to Russia. It was he, who devised Russia's strategy of strategic defense, the only strategy that had any chance of succeeding. The Russian patriots wanted to fight the moment Napoleon crossed into Russia. They would all have been slaughtered. They were no match for Napoleon. The dead poet's friend, however, convinced the Russian commanders to draw Napoleon deep into the country, in order to let the logistical nightmare that this thereby created, defeat Napoleon. This man understood the dynamics of the real economy, which is always supported by love. Take away this factor, and everything disintegrates. Napoleon was defeated by simply withdrawing from his reach all the human elements that enrich society. The Russian people even emptied Moscow of its inhabitants and set it on fire, thereby denying Napoleon the logistical base that he required. All this was timed with the arrival of winter. Sure, there were some big battle fought in which tens of thousands of people were wasted, but these battles gave neither side any military advantage. Napoleon was defeated by logistics, by withdrawing the human element of love as much as this was possible. Napoleon brought 600,000 men and 200,000 horses into Russia. Only a few thousand returned. The rest died, and only a few of those who died, died on the battlefield. In this manner, one of the most evil war plans of that century was defeated. As Mr. Devil said himself, he doesn't have a lot up in his noodle. This means, he always leaves himself open to be outflanked. The scientific separation of sex from marriage appears to be such a flank. It opens the scene to universal love, universal marriage, and universal sovereignty intertwined with sex in some way."
