A Diamond that Fell into the Mud
Remains a Diamond Still
Universal Love
versus
Sexual and Political Isolation
By Rolf A. F. Witzsche, with references to The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago
Our modern world is increasingly torn apart by countless issues that go so
deep that one can hardly see any light on the horizon. We are isolated by
politics, military might, economic power, social status, ethnic
background, nationality identity, and at the individual level by wealth,
fame, religion, ideology, profession, association, culture, and a whole
lot more, especially by our sex by which the whole of mankind is split
into two isolated camps. Our sexual isolation and division has roots that
go deep, and we find that these roots are being nourished right where we
live on our home ground.
While political policies greatly effect the way we live as a society, we
are more deeply effected by the way we regard one-another socially,
especially when sex becomes the center of it. Rather than addressing its
far-flung isolation by going down to the roots of it society has devised
policies for contact that merely regulate life in this complex world of
our near-universal isolation that in many ways led to the deepest and
most-violent divisions. Instead of bridging our division and dissolving
the isolation we find ourselves on the fast track going in the opposite
direction. We have already reached the point that our civilization is in
danger of collapsing, and our society with it. We are rushing into a New
Dark Age that some have already threatened to turn into "Hundred
Years War" laced with unprecedented terror, poverty, and diseases
that are already unfolding.
I'm not overstating the case. I wish I were. Many years ago I learned a
poem back in my school days of a dialog of "the four winds"
discussing among them where they should meet next for their 'joyous'
dance. They decided at length to meet at the center span of a great bridge
across a canyon, and to meet there at the midnight hour when the last
train is crossing. Oh, what a wild dance it would be, a whirl-dance filled
with fire and shrieking voices and sounds of breaking steel. And so it
was, as the four winds were coming together for their dance from all four
directions at once. The poet evidently was thinking of a bridge that was
sturdy enough to withstand the strongest storm under the worst condition,
but not four of them coming together at once. Unfortunately that is the
kind situation that we find ourselves in globally, today, in which our
civilization is threatened. The four winds are eerily real.
One of the four winds that is threatening civilization today is the
already onrushing global financial and economic collapse. Many great and
shiny bubbles of 'hot air' that are celebrated for their 'beauty' are
stretched to the breaking point. They are ready to pop just a like soap
bubble always pops and disintegrates into a spray of fine mist that blows
away with the wind, which no one can put back together again.
Another one of the four winds is the growing threat of nuclear war. We had
65,000 nukes deployed globally in the mid-1980s of which only 20,000
remain deployed with probably an equal stock-pile kept in reserve.
However, the deterrent that kept them at bay is wearing thin. The nukes
are on the table now, ready to be used. In the mid-1980s we said to
ourselves that nobody would be that crazy to actually throw them around.
We trusted our existence to the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction.
Now we have many people in power that qualify for the description to be
"that crazy." Our mutual destruction is thereby assured.
The third onrushing wind is fascism. Society fought World War II to defeat
fascism. But that war was never really won, was it? Fascism remained.
World War II had been a contest between killing machines. The contest
ended when one killing machine had exhausted the resources for the other.
But the fascism that stood behind the killing machines was never defeated.
It spread into the Americas. It infested the USA. It swept across Europe
into Russia, into Asia, even China. Fascism has become a monster of
terror, torture, inhumanity, genocide, financed covertly from high places
and from within many hidden empires that need to sow division and
destruction to protect the precarious foundation for their existence. The
USA appears to be presently set up to be destroyed by its own hands from
within, and to vanish from the map of the future as a sovereign nation
state, just as the very idea of the sovereign nation state is set up to be
eradicated globally.
The fourth onrushing wind, ironically, is not global
warming*1 but the
return of the Ice Age*2. For nearly two million years the earth has been
in a massive deep-freeze environment called the Pleistocene Epoch that is
periodically interrupted with interglacial warm climates of short
duration, such as we are in today, which is ending. The end of the present
interglacial warm climate also spells the end for agriculture that is
largely keyed to that warm climate. Mankind has existed for over two
million years, but in spite of this long period of development only 1-10
million people inhabited our planet when the last glaciation cycle ended
slightly over 10,000 years ago. That minuscule population was all that
mankind had been able sustain without agriculture. Now we have 6 billion
people living on the earth, going on to 10 billion. The coming Ice age
will most certainly wipe us out unless we can create the technological
infrastructures for indoor agriculture that would sustain us through the
coming 100,000 years of Ice Age conditions. While the construction of
these infrastructures is totally possible even on a global scale, we might
be heading for disaster, because it will take a hundred years to build
them and one sees no commitment towards it. Credible scientists suggest
that we might have those hundred years left before the next transition to
glaciation begins, but with the world fast asleep dreaming of global
warming, who will rescue us from our isolation from reality. Many credible
scientists suggest that the dogma of manmade global warming is a
fraudulent imperial deception that is designed to prevent society from
developing the kind of social and economic renaissance that would be
necessary for creating itself the enormously large infrastructures that
would assure its future existence but spell the end of all empires.
Since we live presently isolated from our humanity and under the spell of
the money of the empires, the return of the Ice Age might overwhelm us,
especially now that it is joined by the other three winds. An escape is
not likely possible unless we can reverse our deeply moving isolation from
our humanity that presently keeps the horizons free for the four winds to
blow as the imperials desire who master the blowing winds that threaten
our civilization and our existence.
The individual issues that are involved here, that drive the four winds,
are far too complex in themselves to be dealt with in a quick discussion
in the context of this article, especially since these issues are all too
deeply overlaid with layers upon layers of lies. Also the four winds that
are threatening our civilization today as never before have been a long
way in coming. Empires, and the wars and inhumanity that empires spawn,
have been a part of the human scene for at least 4000 years, and already
even then the empires and their gushing gore were despised to the point of
being labeled, the "Whore of Babylon." For 4000 years society
has fought against that whore with few successes. Already 3700 years ago
the famous reformer Hammurabi had struggled to put some curbs on the
excesses of the whore and its barbarism. But nobody has ever really won
that fight and secured a victory for mankind. A little light was seen
during the Greek Classical Period of Homer, Solon, and the Pythagorean
Society and so on, but this dawning light was quickly crushed by the
sophistry of Pericles and the seventy years of destruction of the
Peloponnesian War. Plato and Socrates worked to restore that lost culture
and to extend it further. While his effort created a bright era that
became the precursor for the Christian era, no real victory was ever won
by either development. Instead a new darkness descended towards an endless
seeming night that became the Dark Ages, spearheaded by the Roman Empire
and a whole string of other whorehouses that followed in its wake.
The long period of the unfolding Dark Ages was first interrupted by the
Islamic Renaissance near the end of the first millennium, and then again
in the 14th Century in Europe by the Golden Renaissance, and then once
more by the second European Renaissance of the 17th Century that was
centered on the Peace of Westphalia, the spark of light in which the USA
was founded. Apart from these few bright periods that are all too rare,
mankind has been on a loosing streak. We are presently entrenched in that
loosing streak as never before. In the onrushing tragedies that are now
converging on us the few victories that mankind has achieved over the ages
in its periods of renaissance stand out as important sparks that inspire
hope for us that we may yet win our victory over the whore and its wars
that has evaded humanity's grasp for 4000 years. Those bright sparks from
our periods of renaissance that should inspire us today, are all sparks
that have a common universal principle that is evidently still valid
today. But what is a universal principle?
The discovery of universal principles has been slow in coming. For
example, a long period of scientific development lies between the casual
recognition that all objects fall to the ground and the discovery of the
Principle of Universal Gravitation. No, it wasn't Newton who discovered
the Principle of Universal Gravitation, though he was hit on the head by a
falling apple. The Principle of Universal Gravitation was discovered by
Johannes Kepler long before Newton was even born. The principles that
Kepler discovered now enables us to land on the moon, as we did in 1969,
and to get there with such an accuracy in planning that we could touch
down on the lunar surface confidently with only 30 seconds worth of fuel
left in the landing vehicle. That achievement resulted from the power of
discovered universal principles.
The discovery of the underlying principles of civilization that combines
every bright period of history has a similarly long unfolding and came to
light with an equally profound promise. The brightest of these discoveries
of principles came to light in connection with the Treaty of Westphalia
that ended the Thirty Years War in 1648. This profound treaty was built
the recognition of a principle that might be called the Principle of the
Advantage of the Other. This principle created not only a period of peace.
It also created the foundation for modern civilization. The Westphalia
principle became reflected in the founding principle of the U.S. laid down
in its constitution that might be termed the Principle of the General
Welfare. In this manner, if one looks at all the bright periods of
renaissance in a wide overview fashion ,an underlying principle comes to
light that might be called the Principle of Universal Love.
"Oops," you might say, "that's impossible! Universal love
is regarded as treason in the social world, especially in the realm of
marriages."
Indeed, the challenge that the Principle of Universal Love puts on the
table is wide and enormous, but if one looks deeper there exists a natural
foundation for it that reflects the simple fact that we are all human
beings together, universally, with a common humanity and a common
universal human soul, so to speak. The more one peels away the extraneous
layers, which are all artificial in nature, that isolate us from
one-another, the more the universality of our humanity is coming to light.
The scientific process of discovery along this line naturally involves
great challenges, especially social challenges, but it also promises
breakthroughs in the protection and advance of civilization that appear to
be totally impossible on any other platform.
The great depth of this challenge came to light for me when I began to
explore the dimension of the Principle of Universal Love in a novel to see
how it might unfold in social sphere, especially at the grassroots level,
including in the sexual domain. It is a fact of history that every period
of renaissance has ended at some point when its achievements were crushed
again. After that things became worse. The evident reason for that failure
is that the profound principles that these periods of renaissance were
built on weren't accepted deeply enough. They weren't deemed relevant at
the grassroots level of society's social and even sexual relationships.
With this background in mind the resulting exploration of the Principle of
Universal Love in my novels turned out to be so surprisingly wide and
profound that my discovery project that started as a single novel became a
series of twelve novels that I gave the overall title, The Lodging
for the Rose.*3
The idea for this literary effort came to me in the mid-1980s when the
Cold War doomsday clock stood at but minutes to midnight. The unfolding
project to present a daring discovery of the Principle of Universal Love
became like a 'dance.' The 'dance' might have been inspired in part by a
similar kind of 'dance' in the visual arts where the focus was placed on
rolling back the isolation of woman in society that has been built up over
many centuries. Obviously, this rolling back of a built up isolation in
society applies also to the isolation of society itself from its humanity.
In this context, rather than speaking of my own work, I would like to pay
tribute to the world-renowned artist, Judy Chicago, who uplifted society
to some degree with her unique kind of dance in the arts that raised the
awareness of women's issues and women's art, and with it an awareness of
the hypocrisy in society's sexual isolation and its isolation from its
humanity in the lager sense. I believe this tribute is essential.
Judy Chicago brought together a team of over 20 researchers that probed
the pages of history for 999 women of achievement. From these 39 were
selected as guests for Judy Chicago's art installation in form of a 'dinner
party.'*4 She created a triangular table for her dinner party according to
the three distinct periods in society's relationship with is women. Each
side of the triangular table represents one of these periods. The first
side represents the very early period beginning at pre-history and ending
with the Greek Classical period. Throughout this era women were revered,
some as goddesses. Then came the darker era extending onward from the
start of the Christian era into the Dark Age of religious wars, crusades,
genocide, terror, and persecution. The second side represents that Dark
Age in which the status of women was trashed along with everything else
that is human. The third side represents the modern period from the 17th
Century on in which countless women struggled to reverse the isolating
trend that had forced the women of society into the background, which had
been so devastating to women and to society as a whole.
The 39 women that are brought together as guests for The Dinner Party by
Judy Chicago all share a common table together as one, as we celebrate
their achievements and the achievements of women in general. However The
Dinner Party is also a party that society as a whole is invited to. Judy
Chicago has created a unique place setting for each of the 39 women, all
lavishly laid out on the large dinner table. Each place setting is further
highlighted with an uniquely painted porcelain plate that bares an image
that symbolically represents the nature of the individual woman that is
thereby honored. The resulting installation presents in this manner an
invitation to society to 'eat' from each one of the women's plates and
thereby to 'nourish' itself with the substance of her achievements and her
contributions to the development of mankind and civilization.
At this point Judy Chicago becomes 'deliciously' daring. The images that
she painted on the woman's plates to represent their individual nature are
all designed to be symbolic of both a butterfly and a woman's vulva. The
complexity of this symbolism evolves throughout the series, plate by plate
and side by side. It begins with a simple soft vulva-image to represent
the primordial goddess of prehistory. The series of plates ends 38 images
later with the deeply sculpted and anatomically expressive image of the
vulva for the final place setting that represent Geogia O'Keeffe, an
outspoken artist of the budding fight in the 1800s for the universal
recognition of the equality of women.
In this sense Judy Chicago invites society to not only 'nourish' itself
with the profound achievements wrought by the women represented at the
table, and with them all women, but she invites society also to 'eat' of
their vulva, of their womanhood. In so doing Judi Chicago invites society
to acknowledge to itself that it already does the very thing in real terms
in its near universal sexual practice that she symbolically invites
society to do. She thereby invites society to acknowledge that the entire
sexual isolation that has isolated the woman in society and pushed her
into the background for centuries, is a myth. Judy Chicago forcefully
demonstrates that the sexual isolation that relegates women into the
background is a myth by the simple fact that countless people throughout
society lovingly and joyously 'eat' their vulva, both men and women. This
fact has been confirmed in surveys. A large number of sexually active
women that answered a survey*5 indicated that 'eating' off a
woman's vulva is the most enjoyable sexual interaction they know and is the most widely practiced.
In other words, the self-isolation of society that has been engineered
over many centuries, which resulted in the most deeply cutting sexual
division of society that one can imagine, is a myth. The myth also renders
every other form of isolation in society likewise a myth, including our
political, ethnic, and religious isolation and the resulting violent
divisions. These prevailing divisions belie the fact that we are all human
beings together and share universally a common humanity and a common
universal human soul. Judy Chicago demonstrates with her work with a
'delicious' irony that society's countless forms of isolation and
division, no matter how time-honored they may be, are basically nothing
more than just hypocrisy.
Am I saying with this reference to the dinner party that it takes an
honest woman to teach us men that we are hypocrites? No, I'm not saying
that at all. It appears that Judi Chicago is challenging the whole of
society together, because everybody, woman as well as men, fell into the
trap of a self-isolation that has led to ever-deeper divisions throughout
the world, many of which have been carefully cultivated. It is now deemed
socially normal for human beings to live in isolation, and to practice
this isolation also politically, and so on. In her unique way, Judy
Chicago is challenging the entire self-isolation of mankind, even while
much of it is rooted in imperial motivation that even now only a few dare
to recognize. Nevertheless, her project, The Dinner Party, started a
cultural uplifting in society that might be more extensive than what
appears of it on the surface, and not just for women. Also, her work
unfolded at a time when it was most needed, both politically and
culturally.
Her determination to do something profound to reverse the isolation of
women, and possibly also the isolation of society from itself, began to
unfold in her thoughts as far back as 1971. This was also the time when
banner headlines were strung across the world that proclaimed that the
Earth has cancer and that this cancer is mankind. The image of the human
being was being violently trashed at this time, as never before. The year
1971 was also the year in which the Bretton-Woods world-finical system was
wrecked by imperial demands in order that the nation's national currencies
could be used as private gambling chips by an imperial oligarchy that
subsequently leached enormous profits out of the nations' currencies,
causing social consequences that are not easily repaired. The world became
looted to the bone in this manner while the image of mankind was being
trashed simultaneously. Judy Chicago might not have been consciously aware
of this trend that began in parallel with her unfolding idea for
uncovering the growing isolation of mankind from its humanity.
Nevertheless her idea unfolded against this historic background that
became a trend that is now wrecking our civilization.
The physical work for The Dinner Party project itself began in 1974. The
project took 5 years to complete. Those years were a time of intense
creativity with the glow of an unfolding universal love that is evident
throughout the project. Sadly, however, this same timeframe also brought
to light a number of political movements that are the very opposite in
their nature and effect.
One of these political projects that Judy Chicago's efforts tend to
counteract was a two-pronged depopulation travesty that came to light as
the first ever world population conference held in Bucharest in 1974 and
America's NSSM-200 policy that likewise began in 1974. The Bucharest
conference had been built on the notion that the human population is a
cancer that must be contained. The American NSSM-200 policy went one step
further and defined Third World population growth as a security thereat to
the USA on the premise that the developing nations would be using up their
natural resources for themselves, which the imperials demand must be
preserved for their future needs. Consequently Africa became one of the
first major targets for controlled depopulation with the result that AIDS
erupted in Africa a few years later in the shadow of this policy. While it
is impossible to determine if and to what extend Judy Chicago's effort to
counteract the isolation of society from its humanity had an effect on
thwarting the depopulation travesty, it is nevertheless interesting to
note that her healing effort coincided with the emergence of an extremely
dangerous political trend. Had her efforts been 100% successful to the
fullest possible extend the NSSM-200 policy for the destruction of Africa
might have been avoided, so that the 25-million AIDS deaths that occurred might not have
happened, including the future deaths that are yet to come until the disease is
arrested. But can we say that her efforts had no effect at all? I don't think we
can say this either. They might have had a major effect in spite of it all.
Whatever counteracts the isolation of society from its humanity does have
an uplifting effect on civilization.
The timeframe in which Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party was created also
covered the period in which the DDT ban and the manmade-global-warming
hoax were both unleashed. That DDT ban that was imposed for purely
political reasons and no scientific imperative at all is now killing more than a million people
a year in Africa alone, most of them children. While this horrendous death toll is
nevertheless small in comparison with the global death toll from imposed poverty, the
genocidal effect of the manmade-global-warming hoax promises to be still far
more deadly than both horrors combined. It promises a horror show beyond anything we've ever seen or imagined. The
manmade-global-warming hoax has been perpetrated in order to prevent the new
renaissance from emerging that would result if society would prepare
itself for the return of the Ice Age that looms like a dark shadow over
mankind's near future.
And so, without perhaps being consciously aware of it, Judy Chicago has put her
art on the line in a powerful manner to help roll back the increasing
isolation of society from its humanity that we find so deeply reflected in
all of these areas. What she did now stands before us as a monumental
challenge. She was almost 'shrieking' then through her work, to the blinded
eyes and the deafened ears of society, saying, "You fools, can't you see
your hypocrisy!"
Well, maybe a few people saw what she had laid before society. Evidently
some people did see something, but far too few did. And so, because of society's general
lack in its response to her outcry the collapse of civilization that began in those
very days continues unabated and is accelerating. Judy Chicago had invited mankind to
'dance' with her in celebration of our humanity, but far too few have heeded
her invitation. Thus we all remain increasingly isolated from our humanity, which makes the
resulting divisions in our present world evermore severe. The current
world-financial system is already bankrupt and is hanging by the finest
thread, budging with debt. The debt stands as a liability against the
western economies that no longer produce much of anything, but have become a
liability themselves. We need a global bankruptcy reorganization before
the house falls down, in order to keep people alive, pensions paid, wages
protected, industries operating, and to give ourselves the needed credits
to rebuild our lost industries that we must have back in order to get
society on its feet again with universally affordable housing,
transportation, clothing, food, and so on. Unfortunately nothing of the
sort is happening, is it? And it won't be happening for as long as society
remains isolated from its humanity as human beings.
Even the threat of war is more severe now than it has ever been throughout
all history. We face worse consequences today than those that we feared
from a nuclear war. On December 23, 2005, The Korea
Times*6 published a
few figures from a US dossier of August 2003 that contains the number of
dirty uranium bombs that were pre-positioned at this time at three U.S.
Air Force bases in Korea. The Times listed 2.7 million DU bombs located in
Korea, plus 300,000 located in Japan, for a total of 3 million DU bombs.
Chances are that the published figures are vastly inflated. One would hope
that they are. Most likely, though, the opposite might likely be the case
as many more DU bombs would surely have been added over the more than
three years since the dossier's the date of the publication. Also,
considering that Korea is a small place compared to the Middle East, it
stands to reason that many time more DU bombs would be pre-positioned at
the over twenty U.S. Air Force bases in the Middle East, with their
numbers probably ranging upwards into the tens of millions. The likelihood
for such large stockpiles is probably extremely high since DU bombs are
inexpensive to produce.
The DU bombs, or depleted uranium bombs, as they are called, utilize the
uranium residue from spent nuclear reactor fuel or fuel processing, which
was once considered a waste product that is expensive to store. Now it is
considered a cheap resource to be put into bombs. When the DU bombs are
used the uranium is vaporized into particles smaller than the wavelength
of light. Being so small, there are a vast numbers of them filling the
air, most of them end up suspended in the air for long periods where they
are transported around the world by the air currents. Nevertheless, no
matter how small these particles are, they remain radioactive with a life
span that exceeds the few billion years that our planet is believed to
remain inhabitable. Since the minuscule radioactive particles are a part
of the air now that we all inhale, we invariable inhale a number of these
radioactive particles with every breath. As the particles accumulate in
the body a few of them might get inside our body's living cells and upset
the delicate chemical balances there and inflict damage to the DNA chains.
The result of this radiation attack is a long list of cancers and diseases
that exceeds 90 types so far, in addition to all the horrendous birth
defects that are too horrible to describe. The big question to doctors is
no longer, will the baby be a boy or a girl, but will it be normal. In
some areas birth defects have increased 10 to 20-fold and cancers 20 to
50-fold. Even in the USA that is far from the theaters of war, the lung
cancer rate has increased 6-fold, as reported by CNN in March 2006,
pertaining to the first two months of that year. Diabetes is exploding
with similarly increases over the time span since DU weapons have been in
use, rising from 30 million cases worldwide to 230 million cases. While no
smoking gun evidence is possible that would link the increases to DU,
because of the minuscule particle sizes, the coincidence in timing suggest
that such a link exists.
Since the worldwide radiation from the relatively small-scale DU bombing
to date cannot be rolled back, mankind simply has to cope with these
increased horrors for all times to come which have already caused
unspeakable tragedies. The radiation we've put into the environment is
there to stay, and we'll have to live with it from now on since we can't
leave out planet and get away from it. There simply is no place in the
universe that we could escape to in order to get away from the results of
our present folly. And even with all of that considered, today's society
has allowed itself to become so insanely isolated from its innate humanity
that it is prepared to let the potentially 100-fold increase happen, of
the radioactive pollution of our planet that appears to have already been
pre-positioned. While the imperial goal might be to keep the planned DU
radiation-destruction focused on Russia, China, and India, which are the
old historic imperial targets, the prepared-for wave of DU killing
promises to be of an intensity that no one will likely survive anywhere on
the planet. That's the real danger in our present age that has become an
age of creeping insanity. We truly have become isolated from our humanity
into dream worlds filled with fantasies that have nothing to do with down
to earth human living.
As things stand today we won't likely see any reversal of the DU danger
happening for as long as we remains so deeply isolated from our humanity
that the already prepared for possible extinction of our own kind raises
barely few eyebrows instead. There should be commitment forthcoming to
eradicate the DU danger and other such dangers in a crash-program type
fashion. Unfortunately this reversal won't happen until our current
isolation from our humanity is resolved with some rich measures of truth
and universal love.
Whether we get out of our present collective trap alive is beyond
anybody's ability to forecast. The critical choices are clear. They have
been clear for centuries, and have been ignored for centuries. They are
still being ignored. Fascism reigns supreme instead, and more so than
ever. Instead of society building affordable housing for its habitation,
more and more houses are being bulldozed to the ground in military
atrocities, or are bombed to smithereens while society looks on, or
housing is priced out of range altogether so that people are forced to
live under bridges or in the open, etc.. Also, we still make war today and
wage it with ever-more giant engines for mass destruction while we can't
spare a dime to prevent hunger in the world.
It's the same age-old story, isn't it, the same song that has been played
over and over like a broken record by almost the whole society of mankind?
We allow the looting of nations in the name of freedom. We profit from the
enslavement of the poor in the name of greed. We kill, torture, terrorize,
destroy and imprison one-another in the name of what we call, security. We
human beings alone do all of this, to one-another. The horrors in our
world are not inflicted on us by alien beings from other worlds. We do
this to ourselves and call the travesty a civilization. We are miles off
course today from where we should be as a society of human beings. It
appears that we have actually convinced ourselves that we are not really
human.
The tragic delusion that we suffer from is the natural outcome of our
self-isolation from our humanity that has been cultivated for millennia,
which we now find hard to reverse. Nevertheless, the task remains for us
to get our humanity back and to do it quickly before time runs out. This
critical task has been put onto our plate and remains there for us to
master in the time that we have left before all is lost.
Thus the final question is, will we succeed and become human again, or
will we blow ourselves up or poison our world beyond repair? I personally
think that we still have a chance to succeed. The one thing that comes to
light repeatedly in the unfolding pages of my series of novels, The
Lodging for the Rose,*3 is that the demands of the Principle of Universal
Love may be challenging in countless different ways and may be hard to
deal with, but promise beyond their challenge to unfold into the sparkle
of a great gem that is precious for its own brilliance as it brings our
humanity back to light. And that promise, including what we may already
realize of it, outshines all the challenges that lead up to it posed by
the Principle of Universal Love. That great promise might also outshine
the mortal dangers that appear to be greater today than at any time in
history, with the whole of mankind is now facing that danger. But with the
promise that flows from the Principle of Universal Love our hope remains.
It remains, because the fact remains that a diamond that has fallen in to
the mud remains a diamond still. It remains ready to shine once the mud is
rinsed away and the gem is placed back into the sunshine. America is that
diamond; mankind is too; we all are!
