"For this we need all the best tools that we can lay our hands on," said Ross when we began to discuss the task among ourselves. "And we have them already at hand. We have the tools developed by Plato and by Mary who has already built a profound pedagogical structure with them. There was no need to wait for another Plato, or another Mary. Their work is done. There remains only the task of uplifting ourselves and society out the rut that we are still in until the Principle of Universal Love has been fully established. That's the kind of work that Mary had begun when she created the outline of her matrix type structure for scientific and spiritual development. It came to light to us as a construct that offers no answers, but impels one to ask questions that one would never ask in a lesser context than the one that she has set up. She obviously understood Plato's scientific method better than anyone of us has. Luckily, Plato was still on the scientific horizon in her time. While Plato's method of thinking had been buried in Europe in the gore of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, Plato's method had remained alive in far away America. Evidently Mary had been a keen scholar who grew up in the light of a still unfolding scientific revolution in which Plato still played a significant role. This gave her the background for her own, revolutionary advanced discoveries."
"I can understand what Olive has saying," Indira broke the silence of my pondering later that afternoon while we were still sitting in the sunshine at the beach getting terribly hot.
Indira spoke loud enough for everyone to hear her. "Let's consider our larger marriage that Peter has already inspired in India," said Indira, "which Peter and I, and Tatsuhiko and three other people have become a part of. It really is the outcome of the process that we have been talking about. We have questioned all the old assumptions about marriage that we could think of and we found them to be too shallow, so we looked deeper. We looked to Mary. We have built on her discoveries and a created a bright new universal marriage concept on them. We have also looked at Helen's discoveries and built on her concepts as well. We also found no fundamental difference between the discoveries of these two pioneers. The difference that exits is between them and the prevailing perception in society. In other words, we have derived at a brand new perception about what the fundamental concept of marriage involves. No one before Mary has even dared to perceive marriage as a wider, universal union that reflects the nature of our humanity. She put on the table a facet of reality that we cannot get away from, regardless of how long it has been denied in the past. She put on the table such a high level perception, the kind that has never been achieved before, that few were able to live by it. Now, a hundred years later, the recognition that she made is slowly coming to the surface. Helen made a similar recognition on her own. She acted on what she saw is supported by universal principles, and so did we. The outcome of what we established in India is a construct that exists only at the leading edge in the mind; that can be found nowhere else in the universe as far as we I tell. It is wide and beautiful. And most of all, it is real. Of course, you may have asked yourself, is there sex in it? What would you expect me to say? How can one describe sex when there are six people committed to enrich one-another's existence, in which sex plays a part since we are all human beings? I would say that this development issue is not tied to our union, but is tied directly to our humanity, the humanity of all mankind that we are beginning to embrace in all its riches? Once that recognition had been made, the substance of the proof unfolded unmistakably in our life in countless different ways, which can't be understood without the experiences themselves. But I can tell you this. Sex has no true meaning unless it is seen as a radiant, outgoing presence like the sun that unfolds in life-giving rays of light and warmth. I look for sex in this fashion, in the form of a radiant love flowing from heart to heart, enveloping our world with a light and warmth of a richer kind. There is no such thing as 'getting' sex, or withholding sex, but uplifting it and embracing higher concepts of it."
