But why did Christ Jesus provide food? Could the multitude not have been satisfied metaphysically, as Jesus himself had been satisfied in the wilderness where he answered the devil: "Man shall not live by bread alone?"*(Matthew 4:4)
The fact is, Christ Jesus couldn't demand from another what the other was not able to achieve. While it is scientifically true that the material platform does not represent the zenith of reality in the divine sense, no one on this planet has demonstrated the ability to live without food, water, and air. Christ Jesus may have done so partially, but the people had not reached that stage. Thus, Christ Jesus provided the food that they needed. This was the result of wisdom, based on his awareness of where the knife edge was in their experience. He could not demand something for which the foundation had not been fully established. But what about us? What about today's call to restructure the world-financial system from an oligarchic basis onto a sovereign basis within as an institution of the sovereign nation state? Is it an act of wisdom to demand such a deeply radical move?
The above question must be answered in the affirmative, because the foundation of this move has already been well established in prior history. Such a move represents supreme wisdom. The benefits are obvious and have already been demonstrated to be immense, and the fundamental principle for the move is already enshrined in the constitution and in the history of the nation. It would be totally opposite to wisdom, some might call it utter stupidity, to assume that because of some fundamentally illegal acts,*(The Specie Resumption Act 1875) wrought probably through coercion and corruption which took away a significant portion of the nation's sovereignty, that this nation's birthright and moral achievement should be forever forfeited. It is an act of wisdom to reclaim what has already been made a part of the nation's identity, no matter who took it away, when, and for what reason.
By the same token, it would have been most unwise for a stone age society to pursue the development of nuclear fusion power, which was way out of its reach even if it had been perceived in dreams. But to do the very same today is absolute wisdom, because the fundamental principles have already been demonstrated and their final implementation is but a technological step away. Nor did the cave men require nuclear energy to exist, as wood fires easily supplied their needs. In today's world mankind needs the energy technology that utilizes the most abundant element in the universe, for fuel, which is hydrogen according to the cosmic abundance tables and exists in quantities 40,000 times greater than the familiar silicone found in rocks. It is wisdom to reach out for this energy resource which characteristic is close to infinite, both in availability, and in energy flux density. To turn this development down in exchange for the poverty of wood-fired economies, which were the outcome of wisdom in the stone age, would be utter foolishness today.
The same contrast can also be found in regard to healing technologies. It would not be an act of wisdom, for instance, to withhold the application of medical technology in life threatening cases where such technologies exist, while relying on Christian Science treatment that is not demonstrably achieved on a routine commercial basis at this present time. It is easy to latch onto a scientific idea that was routinely demonstrated a century ago, without recognizing that this scientific platform has been starved in terms of development for an entire century. It is easy to latch onto an idea that is not demonstrably understood, but was so once, and then demand such demonstrations instantly, for which the basis has been lost. Likewise would it be utter folly to discard the most advanced accomplishment of the ages, which clearly include the discovery of Christian Science and its routine demonstration in the healing of every imaginable disease on the late 1800s, as irrelevant, simply because they are not immediately demonstrable today. The divine Science of Christ healing is evidently the pinnacle of scientific achievement in human terms. It would be equally as foolish to discard this Science today as irrelevant, as it would be foolish to discard the development of practical nuclear fusion for man's energy needs, simply because the pinnacle stages of this development are not routinely reached today by which this practicality that clearly exists in science and has been demonstrated in the laboratory has not yet been translated into full scale application.
