"That is what Mary put on the plate for us?" Tony asked. "And Tolkien?"
"Tolkien picked some of that up and explored it likewise. He grew up in the end phase of Mary's time. These two, Mary and Tolkien, seem to be linked laterally by a common recognition of a profound truth. The question is, can we accomplish this likewise? Can we use their pioneering recognition, and build on it, and elevate ourselves out of the sewers? Or do we just sit back until we all blow ourselves up? That's the question, Tony. The infrastructures for blowing ourselves up are already in place. They exist with total overkill, and it's all largely automated. We've even got the kind of mad-men standing at the trigger who have absolutely no humanity left in them, who will do this without raising a finger, who are so disgusting as to make Tolkien's Saruman appear benign and sane in comparison. So the question is again, Tony: Are we willing to do what it takes to take down that entire pyramid of evils that have divided humanity on a notion of? If it means that we have to become sublime to do it, lets do that. If this means that we have to uplift ourselves to a greater sense of self-completeness, let's do that also. If this requires that we elevate our sense of sex to a level of a recognized completeness that has never been seen before, except maybe by Mary, then let's do that too. If it means that we must slug our way through the jungle. Let's get started and not run away from it."
Tony nodded thoughtfully, now and then, while I was making my long speech sitting in the sand beside him. "But who is Mary to make that kind of judgment?" he said after a while.
"Who is Mary?" I repeated. "Why, she is the most accomplished spiritual scientist of the 19th Century, Tony. She is Mary Baker Eddy, the renowned healer of humanity? You heard us talking about her. She is also the most accomplished mental healer since Christ Jesus. In consideration of her profound scientific achievement and her proven ability in healing, I must assume that she knew what she was talking about. It certainly appears worthwhile to explore the issues that she has put on the table, such as sex coming to light with a profound spiritual dimension. Do you want me to go on?"
Tony nodded. "OK, Pete, but why would she specify two hits for sex in her pedagogical structure, and only one for marriage?" Tony looked up at me from where he sat in the sand. "That may yet become interesting," he added as he stood up to look at my drawing.
"Actually, it is more interesting to note the position where the two 'hits' for sex are located," I continued. "I mean, where they are located in respect to what the four columns represent."
He stood beside me as I pointed to the four columns drawn into the sand. "The first column represents the hue of dawn," I said. "The second represents the sunrise that follows. The third represents the heat of the day. And the fourth represents the sunset. Her references to sex are found in the second and the fourth column, related to the sunrise and to the sunset. Does that make sense?"
Tony shook his head and gave me a questioning look.
"Don't look at me, I didn't put this together," I replied. "Mary put this together a century ago. I'm just trying to make sense of it, which so far nobody has bothered to do. I think Mary is using two of her four development streams in association with sex, because there are two aspects involved in discovering our individual completeness in terms of sex."
Tony looked at me silently.
"Tolkien emphasized one of these development streams. It comes into play in the development of our sublimity that he requires from everyone. Gandalf the wizard represented that sublimity. When Gandalf put himself on the line in the mines of Moria in order to stop an ancient evil from endangering the mission of getting the ring of corruption back to where it could be destroyed, Gandalf proved his sublimity and emerged from this proof as Gandalf the White.
