"Angels are ideas of Truth that make us invariably truthful with ourselves," I added to all that. I suggested later on that in a scientific sense, Helen is indeed an angel. "In the religious sense, angels are said to be divine images, divine ideas, coming to light in humanity, uplifting humanity. That's the mandate that we have all chosen for ourselves. We have pursued that mandate for a long time already, and we are getting better at it. What comes out of this struggle lights up the entire lattice that we are a part of with a higher perception of ourselves and one-another. That puts us all into the sphere of angels, as representatives of the most perfect design in the universe, the price-winning design that simply cannot be improved, that opens the door to infinity itself and puts the world at our feet."
Steve raised his glass of orange juice and simply offered a toast to that. "I agree," he said it. He said it in a matter of fact kind of way, as if nothing more needed to be said, or could be said. But then he added: "We bring into the matrix all that we are as human beings, and that brings to the scene a constant effort to bring our human identity into an expression of light with a brilliance that no one has ever dreamed of, that supersedes even John's vision who beheld the spiritual ideal of humanity as a woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet and on her head a crown of twelve stars, the stars of rejoicing. We cannot go beyond that," Steve added and raised his glass of orange juice still higher. "Nor can we do any less.
"So let's look at Mary's four development streams once more," Steve said solemnly. "They tell us that we are incredibly rich as human beings, because of our universal marriage to one-another that is anchored in the riches of our universal Soul. Helen calls this the domain of our peace. The second development stream causes us to recognize that we are incredibly beautiful in the universal unfolding of 'sex' in the fullest sense of our Christ defined identity in divine being, including our generosity and love. Helen calls this the domain of our joy. In the third stream, the stream of Mind capitalized, the stream of our intellect, we find ourselves being incredibly courageous and truthful. We 'see' with our incredible intellect. With it we face of the unknown to discover elements of truth that we have never discovered before. We share those discoveries in dialog. Helen calls this the domain of our power."
Steve stood up from his chair at this point. "This is important," he said. "Because these three are not enough. There is more to be found in the dimension of our humanity, than peace, joy, and power." He referred back to my night with Helen. "Peter was at peace," he said, "because he understood to some degree the reality of the universal marriage of all humanity, even if he couldn't verbalize it. Peter also felt a great deal of joy. He understood that there was a sexual reason for it, even though he saw only a small part of it. But then he got stuck. He got stuck when he couldn't respond any further. Eventually his intellect, with a bit of guidance from Helen, enabled him to get himself unstuck. The reason why he got himself stuck in the first place indicates to me that he had never found himself in the fourth development stream before, in the stream of the unfolding development of Science. Yes, peace, joy, and power are all essential dimensions of our humanity, but there is one more. This is the dimension of our omnipotence. As the reflection of God, in our divine completeness, we reflect the divine quality of omnipotence. If we deny ourselves in that development stream, we deny the entire premise that man is the image and reflection of God. But if we don't deny this, if we don't deny our omnipotence, we can only find it in the unfolding development of Science. Science gives us the omnipotence to move instantly where have been stalled for ages."
Steve put his orange juice on the table. "Let me illustrate this," he said. "For instance, our fight in the political sphere is to create a world of perfectly sovereign nation states, existing on the platform of a community of principle. If I put this idea forward as an opinion, my opinion isn't worth an iota more than anyone else's opinion that may be an opposite opinion. We can argue pro and con on this platform until the cows come home, and nothing will ever be resolved. By this process a perfectly right idea can easily become blocked. Many of the greatest opportunities in history have been blocked in this manner. But if one raises the platform of that idea into the sphere of Science, and draws on all the universal principles that are already understood, and maybe one takes the idea even further by another scientific step, then one can put the idea forward as a postulate of science based on demonstrated truth and proven principles, the principles of the universe. At such a point one would no longer be putting forward an idea as just an opinion. One would be putting forward the idea as a statement of verifiable fact that categorically invalidates all opinions (even ones own opinions that one might have had before). Science, really, gives us the only platform we can have for speaking with authority, for exercising omnipotence. When Pete got stuck, he was struggling with opinions; the opinions of the world; his own opinions. He dealt with the opinions intellectually, but he never reached up to the level of omnipotence, the level of absolute scientific truthfulness."
