Chapter 6 - Divine Science"Mary calls her science, divine Science, or the science of the divinity of man," said Ross at one point. "The truth that we seek lies in that realm. I suppose, the concept of seeing ourselves as angels, even angels of sex, is relevant in this context. The divinity of Truth is the divinity of man, and if we open our eyes wide enough we find that this really isn't so deeply hidden that it cannot be found. If we give ourselves half a chance, I think the real dimension of our humanity will assert itself, and that dimension is honorable, rich, and beautiful. I think we have all found this out already to some degree, haven't we?" "The scientific dialog that we pursue is a bit like peeling an onion," Tatsuhiko remarked and began to laugh. "You peel away one layer, one paradox, and there is another one beneath it, but the onion gets better which what you have left. That's how we get to the truth, isn't it? We don't throw the onion away because the skin is brown. Neither do we throw our humanity away when problems arise, or close our mind. We peel away the outer layers that hide the good stuff. If we do that with sex we elevate it to a higher level so that everything falls away that doesn't measure up to the divinity of man, I am sure we will find a lot of beautiful aspects imbedded in sex, which Helen has rightfully defined as an element of our joy." "That's right," Olive agreed. "Helen has defined the second development stream as the element of our joy? Isn't that also where Mary associates the divinity of man with the woman of the Apocalypse, clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars, the stars in the crown of our rejoicing? Isn't that a beautiful image of our humanity, and a beautiful thing to love and honor one-another for?" "I must admit I have a long way to go on that count," said Ross. "And Mary's second reference to sex is associated with her fourth development stream of the divinity of man that comes out of the development of science itself." "I feel as though I have known all of that to some degree for all of my life," said Olive. "That's the resource with which I was able to get the Caracas conference staged. I had to dig deep for that. I just didn't know what it was that I was digging into, and how to express it. When Peter asked me how I do it, I could only answer him; me, I just love! Maybe our divinity as human beings is what love is really all about?" "Isn't that what I said in Caracas at Alberto's pub?" I said to Sylvia. "I suggested to our English friends that love is something greater than us. We don't really understand the full meaning of it. But we know, that if one were to withdraw it from the human scene, civilization would collapse and humanity would disintegrate with it into a Dark Age that few would survive." "In other words, universal love and universal sovereignty are already the operational platform of the whole human society," said Indira. "We just need to trust it a bit further and move further along its track." "I think that is what I have always known, too," said Tatsuhiko. "When I traveled the Ganges River, I could see this love visible everywhere in countless different forms and colors and expression, even in terms of sex, coming to light in men and women. And I wasn't surprised to see it. I rejoiced over what I saw. Isn't that worth celebrating?" "Whatever unfolds from the development of universal love is worth celebrating," Sylvia added. "Also we should look forward to a lot of celebrating at every level along the way, in all of the development streams. This includes the development stream for the science of universal marriage, and the stream for the development of sex from a sense of incompleteness to the full spectrum of white. We we can't achieve that we better pack our bags and go home." || - page index - || - chapter index - || - Exit - ||
