	Universal Love versus Sexual and Political Isolation NEW The series explores the Principle of Universal Love (a most challenging proposition) in a world where it is shunned, where mankind is torn by divisions, darkened by isolation, threatened by war, even nuclear war that puts into question our very survival. Against this background the glow of universal love creates a new paradigm socially, but also on the political scene with the challenge to upgrade our civilization for the return of the Ice Age that some say might be upon us in a hundred years time.
