Chapter 9 - Music that Never Ends.Breakfast came all too early, as we both knew it would. It started out as usual, though we were late. I was keenly aware of the fact that nothing had changed at the breakfast table as Anton and I walked in together, after a long and wonderful night of all sorts of dancing. I expected things to be different, somehow. Everyone was there, and everyone behaved as if nothing had happened between us. Ten minutes must have passed in this fashion, then, suddenly, somebody cheered. They all made us appear as though we were heroes. Everyone came and congratulated us. Of course I realized that the real heroes were Steve, Ross, and Sylvia, not us, and all the others who had built the foundation for what has taken place. I regarded their cheering as their own celebration in acknowledgement of their contribution. As the day progressed, both Anton and I felt that this step forward should also be reflected in an advanced contribution towards the success of the conference. If the unfolding of our love truly reflected the model of the sun that Ross had talked about the day before, then there should be an out-flowing energy forthcoming that enriches the world, that nourishes life, that makes it more expansive. Anton and I explored the necessary dimension of this newly discovered principle, during lunch. The answer, of course, came naturally, but in a manner that surprised us both. Perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised by this, because Erica had predicted such an unfolding a dozen years ago in Leipzig. I could remember as if it were yesterday, that she had pointed out that to the degree the human needs are satisfied, the mind becomes free to expand towards the infinite. Indeed, by the developments that had taken place, between Anton and myself, our human needs had been richly satisfied. It was only natural, therefore, that we began to focus on meeting the larger needs of humanity. We both knew that those larger needs were far from being satisfied, and that the existing structures for meeting the most basic needs were still falling apart without hardly anyone being aware of it. A lot of vital aspects simply hadn't been addressed by the economic renewal that had begun. Anton suggested that we develop a joint address to alert the assembly about the still developing world financial and economic crisis, since nothing had been resolved fundamentally. This crisis could still flare up again and become as devastating as a nuclear war, if not more so, and could itself become the very trigger for a nuclear war. The situation of the biologically engineered variety of food grain needed to be addressed, that produces high-yield harvests of infertile grains. We decided that we would share the work. We decided that I would talk about the artificially engineered high-yield strains of grain. I would explain that they came out of the laboratories of the fondis' food cartels. Then Anton would take up the paradox by pointing out that the resulting high-yield plants produce infertile seeds. Everyone should have been fully aware of this fact since it wasn't a secret anymore. Then it would become my task to talk about the extensive market penetration of the infertile high-yield strains that had been accepted by the world out of sheer economic necessity as any farmer growing natural grains would be forced into bankruptcy in a short time because of the lower yield of the natural grains in tons per acre. I would point out that a lot of farmers did indeed go bankrupt over this issue. The 'weeding out' process of the traditional farmers, out of the system, would then be addressed by Anton who would focus on the fact that this weeding out of the traditional farmers was artificially assured by the grain cartel's pricing structure, who had totally monopolized the grain markets. || - page index - || - chapter index - || - Exit - ||
