Chapter 8 - Rivers of Light.As the second week of the conference drew near its end, we all became rather interested in dancing. In a way, that's what the whole conference had been, a dance. Everything we touched upon was like a melody that moved us. We had made the conference brighter, more alive, there was movement in thought, dynamics its proceedings, rhythm in its presentations. Everything was hanging together in a continuous flow, like music and dancing. Sure, there were also ugly speeches made, arrogant speeches with demands for reinstating property rights, without any of the speakers ever mentioning the ugly dimensions that the concept involved. Some speakers actually denounced Anton by name, and ridiculed her. Little did they know that they thereby ridiculed themselves and their own cause as a lot of people were waking up to the reality of the stench of their denunciation of the human rights of humanity. In their blind arrogance they couldn't see the insanity that surrounded the axioms of stolen wealth that they were fighting to hold on to with claims for continued stealing and murdering at the expense of the deprivation of humanity. The song of Human Rights in the real sense, and the song of the General Welfare Principle specifically, were denounced by them as attacks on the "royal status of the nobility and its long tradition as beacons of civility." Someone from the audience shouted back and called them "beacons of shit" and "a pack of liars." Anton had contemplated making another speech to expose the hidden paradigms of the property rights issue, but as the days passed it became clear that this was not needed. The seeds that she had sown with her first speech were already bearing fruit. People began to wake up. They became quite daring in denouncing what they had initially believed with their whole heart, because it had been drilled into them in countless ways through literature, movies, and even music. One woman made a long speech detailing the intentionally created counter culture efforts that had been launched 30 years in the past to dehumanize western literature and music and replace the innate human culture of the revolutionary American tradition with the confederate ideals of the old U.S. southern slavocracy mentality. She also detailed the enormous success this counter culture effort had. These kinds of speeches had an awakening effect. As soon as people realized that they had been ideologically abused to rubber stamp an anti-human culture that they honestly didn't believe in their own heart and conscience, they began to dance to a different tune. And they danced well. They began to extricate themselves from that culture of lies about human ideals, and began to exonerate themselves. Since the conference agenda had been ripped up by Sylvia, much to the agony of the organizers, the organizers said at the end of the second week that the whole conference had become a complete failure and should be shut down. We almost cheered when they announced this, because this meant that we had been successful in turning the thing upside down. The delegates booed, of course, at the thought of shutting the conference down. By no means would they allow to this to happen. One of the delegates stood up and told the UN organizers, "This is our show. You invited us here to explore together the leading edge issues that shape the course of the world. That's what we will do. If you don't like what you hear, or are too stupid to understand what is happening here, go home and send somebody else who is able to appreciate what we are doing for the future of humanity." A vote was taken, with which the cancellation was defeated by a wide margin. The original agenda had been centered on discussing property rights. Indeed, we had done this. No one could fault us on that. We had turned the whole issue around and opened a window on infinity, however small this window might have been at first. The reversal opened up a vast new horizon, because it created a new direction. More and more, the subjects that were being discussed arose directly from the most advanced ideas raised in previous speeches, especially the provocative ones like Tony's girl-watching speech and Anton's answer to it, and of course Ross' scientific report on the lofty status of the human bond between people and the tall principles underlying the marriage concept. Of course, there continued to be speeches made denouncing terrorism, as people dared more and more to put the blame for it in the court of the royals as Fred had done at the very beginning. Even environmental terrorism was addressed extensively, especially the abuse of people's environmental conscience in the service of the royals' anti-human objectives for the destruction of agriculture, refrigeration, health protection, and energy resources. Also, there was a lot said about love, and not all of it was superficial. One person even said that love is fundamental to survival. He backed up his arguments with detailed evidence of a strong spiritual development during the Golden Renaissance, and its import for an advanced civilization. || - page index - || - chapter index - || - Exit - ||
