"The only way you can fight it, is to uproot the 'tree of knowledge' that has created the fragmentation that has divided the world," I suggested. "We have divided and isolated the world so deeply that people are more inclined to steal from one-another instead to create riches that enrich one another and our world. People steal from each other, from society, from other nations. Financial stealing has become the Number One industry in the world, second only to slavery."

      "Slavery is a form of stealing too," said the priest immediately. "It is the worst form of stealing. If that's possible," he added.

      "We need to stop that," I said to him. "We need to stop the fragmentation. In order to do that, we need to deal with each other laterally, brother to brother as human beings, on a platform of universal love." 

      "That's impossible," said the priest, "you can't undo knowledge. The tree of false knowledge cannot be uprooted."

      "Of course you can uproot knowledge and make it disappear, if the knowledge is false," I said to him. "You can undo everything that is false by replacing it with what is true. I just spent ninety-eight-thousand dollars on the exact same project."

      The priest shook his head. "It would be marvelous if you could do that, but what you propose can't be done. You cannot erase history. What has been done, is done! Whatever knowledge has been gathered, is forever with us."

      "Ah, but you can supplant it with new knowledge," I said.

      "You can reverse the trend that got us into this shit!" said Tony.

      "Actually it is possible to redo history," I said to the priest. "This is being done all the time in science." I explained to him that this is what happens when new discoveries are made, like new discoveries of some fundamental principle. "Suddenly a whole lot of old knowledge becomes invalidated. It simply ceases to matter when it is being recognized to have been false or incomplete, even though it had been honored for centuries as the truth, right to that very point."

      "For example?" he said.

      "For example," I continued, "a long time ago people once 'knew' that the Earth is flat. Many sailors feared that they might drop off the edge of the world when they went too far from shore. Now they know better. All it took was one moment of a higher realization, and bang, all the false assumptions of a thousand years standing went out of the window and ceased to exist as if they had never been valid in the first place. So you see, it is possible to alter history by invalidating it in terms of what it represented. This is done all the time. It happens quickly, when it happens. It's an amazing process. In fact, there should be a lot more of that going on." I told the priest that this was the very process that we wanted to encourage right there on the beach.

      The priest shook his head again.

      "Didn't you hear," said Tony, "we are in the process of doing it. We are going to do it right here on this beach, as Pete said. We are setting up a nudist camp with art workshops and a discussion center. We are going to do leading edge research here. We are going to invite the unaligned thinkers of the world to come here. We are going to build an infrastructure for spiritual discovery and development right here at this very beach." He stabbed his finger into the sand. "Once the proper infrastructures are in place, things will develop amazingly fast. We have all experienced the power of this process ourselves. This is the opposite to leaning back with our hands folded."

      The priest seemed puzzled for a moment. He muttered something about a nudist camp.
