"Let me get this straight," Ross interrupted. "Fred wants us to use Plato's method of scientific discovery, and to use it to explore Mary pedagogical structure to prevent nuclear war."
"Right Ross," I replied. "Mary's chief platform is the Principle of Universal Love that we are already familiar with. If we pull out all the stops then there is no telling what can be accomplished. In any case, the alternative is unthinkable. At least by pursuing this course we may have a chance, no matter how slight this may be."
"Pulling out all the stops," said Tony. "That also means putting aside all barriers against exploring the sexual dimension of universal love."
"What else would it mean, Tony?" I said. "A principle is a principle. The Principle of Universal Love is universal in its application, even where the denial is the deepest. Where else would you find such a deep division in humanity, and deep isolation, than in the sexual sphere? That's where the Principle of Universal Love poses the greatest challenge. The whole of humanity is divided into two giant sexually isolated camps. If that is where the greatest challenge lies to implementing the Principle of Universal Love, then that is where our work has to begin."
"This sounds interesting," said Tony. "But how can we talk about it for four weeks, being stuck on this island? What you propose isn't exactly new to us. We are doing it already. How many barriers have we already removed? How much farther can we possibly go?" He left us sitting and went to the beach. He marched right into the water and started to swim.
"Actually, he is right, things do get interesting here," I continued. "Mary created an extensive visual metaphor that she related to her pedagogical structure. This visual metaphor references sex quite openly, and not just once, but twice. And it gets more interesting, still. The same two visual constructs that contain references to sex also contain the only two existing visual references to the architectural design of the pedagogical structure, which stands for everything that she stood for, especially the Principle of Universal Love. The issues of sex are evidently deeply intertwined with this pedagogical development structure and its principle, while both, in turn, appear to be related to the security of mankind."
"It must have taken great courage to put sex in the table in such a profound manner a hundred years ago when the word sex wasn't even whispered in the churches, except for slander," said Sylvia. "But she did it. She put it right smack into the middle of it all. So it appears that sex is indeed a key element in the unfolding of the Principle of Universal Love on which mankind's peace and security rests."
"Fred literally demands us to delve into all," I said in agreement. "This has to be a full commitment to prove its principles, to demonstrate its worth, and to uplift the love of humanity to such a height that nuclear war, which could eradicate four-fifth of humanity, becomes an impossibility. If Mary achieved this single handed, successfully, for thirty-five years on end, so can we achieve at least enough of it to get through our present crisis. Fred called us pioneers. He suggested that if we fail, civilization might end."
Ross suggested that Fred's assessment might be an understatement. "We are getting into the end phase of the last imperial era that began in 1763. The Treaty of Paris set the stage for the British East India Company to become a private empire. Over the following 250 years the private empire became the private central banking system almost throughout the world, looting the world for its profit. Now we are at a stage where the whole structure is about to disintegrate, because mankind cannot develop its potential while being choked to death by the ravishing profiteering of the private powers. We have reached a point where the vertical imperial regime has become incompatible with life in a human world. Incompatible means, in this regard, that if humanity intents to survive the imperial regime cannot be allowed to continue. If the imperial regime continues, humanity and civilization cannot survive. Either way, the imperial regime is doomed. Unfortunately, the empire is powerful and not willing to let go of its gravy train. It will sooner destroy humanity than allow itself to be defeated by it. For that it is prepared to unleash the full force of its beastly fascism. We have already seen some facets of its ugly face during the Hitler area, as a faint beginning. Now we've gone on to much worse, such as open terror, unrelenting torture, genocide, economic devastation, cultural destruction, targeted depopulation, preemptive wars, even nuclear war. Unless humanity can clean out this nest of poison from its world, it won't achieve the needed technological and infrastructure development to survive the next recurring Ice Age for which vastly greater energy and material resources are required than we can yet imagine. If society cannot muster enough love for itself as human beings to free itself from the imperial regime in order to survive to coming challenges, society won't survive. The bottom line is, nothing stands taller for human survival than the Principle of Universal Love," concluded Ross.
