"Have they now?" said Tony.

      "Those children of the lie of the incompleteness of man caused eighty years of war with that lie in which half of the population of Europe was destroyed, Tony. That's what these pigs have done. After that, things got worse. A Venetian monk, Giamaria Ortes, came along and defined man as an animal that has no virtue at all, who must be culled like a herd of animals in order to prevent the over-grassing of the Earth. That was a worse lie, Tony. The fact is, that with our human intellect we have been able to create resources that the natural world would never have been able to supply, so much so that the Earth now supports five-thousand times as many people as the natural system had once supported. That stinking lie that likened us to animals was gobbled up by another bunch of pigs, Tony, like the noble Parson Thomas Malthus who had helped forge the poor laws in England and the work houses, in order to kill off the poor. Parson Malthus demanded that society's dwellings should be made so unsanitary that as many people as possible would die of diseases, which would otherwise live and overburden society. Darwin then bought into that idea and took it a step deeper into the sewer, with his theory of evolution that gave rise to the notion that there are a lot of people on the Earth who haven't quite made it yet all the way up the evolutionary ladder, who have a lot of things missing. These are the ones that Hitler later called useless eaters and simply killed and disposed of like some human trash.

      "Darwin's cousin Galton, as one might expect, took us still deeper in the sewer. Francis Galton bought Darwin's crap, and coined from it his theory of Eugenics that defined entire cultures and people as sub-human. God only knows how many people we killed or sterilized into non-existence under this still greater madness. And that too, was only the beginning. Along came Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche created the beast-men ideology and used that abomination to 'utilize' the mass-slaughtering of human beings as a tool to take the human image even further into the mud of the sewer of madness, He used it to demoralize entire societies into submitting to global war, and to support the quest of the would be world-empire builders. After that, still other such 'geniuses,' notably Bertrand Russell, took the Nietzschian madness to a still lower level, if you can believe it. From that hell of mud he argued for the creating of a mass-exterminating super-bomb with such a terror-potential that it would force the entire world into submission to a world-empire. That super-bomb became the atomic bomb and later the hydrogen bomb. We've built tens of thousands of them over the years. Tolkien saw all of that when he wrote the saga of the Lord of the Rings. He was there. That was his time. He is telling us in that saga, no he is shrieking at us, to wake us up. 'Fly you fools!' he is urging. He is warning that time is running out. He is telling to us that we have no hope unless we take that ring, and with it this entire cycle of evil laid upon evil, back to the fire in which it was born, the fire of lies that cause division and isolation among humanity based on countless forms of imagined incompleteness. Sex stands right in the middle if this imagined incompleteness. Mary suggest that we uplift sex to a much higher level through scientific perception, all the way up to the level of truth that defines our divinity as human beings and our completeness as someone clothed like the sun, or 'with the sun' as an inspired writer had put it in ancient times."

      "And where does that get us?" said Tony and began to laugh.

      "I would say, that takes us all the way back to the core notion of the incompleteness of the human being that a small-minded sense of sex conjures up. All the divisions, the corruption, the quests for power, the wars, the destruction, the bestialization of society, is all built on that, Tony. Tolkien says, take it back where it was made and destroy it there. He also knows that this isn't easily done. So he suggests, that in order to accomplish that, society has to rebuild its humanity, uplift itself, and become sublime. The whole ring saga is about dealing with corruption and becoming sublime. Everybody has to discover his own completeness as a human being, even in sex. Especially in sex. Mary tells us that we have to develop this sense of completeness in parallel with developing the recognition of the wholeness of humanity that exists undivided in universal marriage, as children of a common Soul, a single identity that is complete in all respects, that defines us universally as human beings."
