Tony repeated those words, "down to Earth, real." He looked at me. "You said that Mary also references sex in the fourth column," he said quietly. "You also said that the fourth column is the column of the sunset."

      "The sunset column represents the development of divine Science itself," I said. "Obviously, the sunset always precedes the next dawn. That may have been also the reason why Tolkien named Arwen the people's Evenstar, as the most advanced daughter of the elves who reached for the highest expression of science and beyond to its infinity.

      I pointed out that in Mary's pedagogical structure, the fourth column, the development stream labeled divine Science, develops an other dimension of sex, and evidently an even fuller and richer concept of it, which she relates to immortality and Love.

      "Hey, Pete, really, what has sex got to do with the development of all that, of the infinity of Science manifest in immortality and love?" answered Tony. He almost laughed.

      "It has everything to do with that, Tony; everything! Just answer me this: Do you regard human sex as an animal propensity? Do you regard it as something base, primitive, dirty, and shameful? Or do you think that sex can be raised to a higher perception in the human domain, just as scientific development takes us to higher levels of perception of our universe? This higher level of perception is built on the discovery of universal principles. That's not possible in the animal world. The capability doesn't exist there. It exists only in the human world. Doesn't this higher intellect that enables the recognition of universal principles also change the way we look at sex. We see in its completeness a divine and infinite Principle in which we find riches that an animal can never find? It see in it something much richer than the grandest mother-love that most animals instinctively reflect. I see the spiritual human dimension of it as a Father-Mother-Love written in capital letters that uplifts everyone universally; that uplifts the whole world; a Love that nourishes one-another, with which we enrich one-another's existence and thereby our own. That's the light I have been talking about, Tony. It has been my experience that if this light isn't lit, the world is a dark place and nothing works; everything falls apart. It has also been my experience that once this light is lit, one will never want to blow it out, even though it may get us into hot water occasionally. This light of the science of Science, or divine Science, the science of our divinity as human beings, enriches the world around us, and our concept of sex becomes enveloped with it, which is otherwise a dark place. This light elevates the concept of sex into something with a higher meaning and a brighter image. The light of Science enables us to do this."

      "Go on, I get the point," Tony replied, getting impatient now.

      I told Tony that it gets even more interesting. I pointed out that the four development streams, the four rivers of Mary's pedagogical matrix, are structurally four columns of progressive ideas that are designed in such a manner that they can be logically overlaid upon one another. "In this manner the last two columns of Mary's matrix can be logically overlaid over the first two, If one does this, her two references to sex coincide. In this coincidence the infinite development of Science and divinity of humanity, coincides with the development of the sexual completeness clothed with the sun. This overlaying doesn't invalidate anything but causes the coinciding aspects to mutually enrich one another. This we have the representation of the Christ-'sex'-idea, coinciding with the development in divine Science of the complete divine image of man in a profound multifaceted completeness.

      "Are you saying that the sun is the most perfect symbol for the Christ or sex?" Tony interrupted me.
