A confrontation is needed to break the deadlock.  A confrontation is needed to resolve the conflicts.  This confrontation involves the entire confrontational structure that we created out of the lower three rows of the matrix, divided into two halves.  In the upper half, human development involves the recognition of mankind's strength and the spiritual ideas that have become the hallmark of man in terms of creative discoveries.  These ideas that are developed in the upper half, transform the lower half by means confrontation.  The lower half corresponds to humanity's problems, its conflicts, its self-confinement, its assumed impotence.  The confrontation involves the use of science and discovered principles.  These widen the scope of perception, which enables the creation of technologies and productive processes and so forth.  By this uplifting confrontation the lower row becomes effectively redefined to represent the Science driver of Christianity by which the problems or systems that generate conflict are eliminated.

Today, humanity as a whole appears to be trapped at this very low level of self-confinement, which corresponds to the lowest row of the confrontational matrix, but there is no active link to the upper half.  Strangely, nobody seems to mind this.  Perhaps this is so, because humanity has lived in this arena of perpetual conflict for more than a century, and has deemed it to be normal.  The entire speculative world-financial system is built on a foundation of conflict.  This is even regarded as desirable, and healthy, and a lot of people believe this to be true.  Thus, nobody minds the conflicts, even if the whole thing is about to blow up and take humanity with it.  The fact is, most people defend this insane system of gambling on a galactic scale by which society steals from itself and calls this profit.

There exists a near homogenous thinking throughout the wide field of humanity, which reflects all the characteristic of the lowest level of self-confinement.  This may be the reason why any real leadership, like that of a Lyndon LaRouche, appears disturbingly revolutionary.  The reason is, that this leadership reflects a quality of thought that is foreign to those who are thinking at this level.  They regard everything that exists outside their scope of thinking, that they cannot comprehend, much less deal with, as revolutionary and unrealistic.  This creates a challenge for leadership.  If they talk about leadership, this means to them that someone, somewhere, has taken the initiative to move certain things around within the confines of their level.  If the world-financial system bleeds, patch it up; if it disintegrates, apply crisis management.  This is what leadership means to those at the lowest level where conception is self-confined by certain barriers which have been largely artificially imposed.

This is the reason why nothing positive is achieved at this level, why endless cycles of crisis and crisis management follow each other in a spiral of doom.  In real terms, the concept of leadership at this level is not an aspect of leadership at all.  It is a false sense of leadership that is designed to strengthen the mental trap for maintaining conflict.  All this is far from being normal.

One finds a beautiful example of the normal interplay of leadership and humanity presented in the Noah story.  This story has its history in the distant past of the twin river valley of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.  We find the occurrence of huge floods recorded for this region in Akkadian scripts.  But this arena was also one of ever changing types of empires and interaction between people, so that the spiritual development that was wrought in this period would naturally be included in the legends of the times.  Now, with all this considered, I would like to focus on one tiny aspect in the Noah legend that is remarkable for what it portrays and for what it tells us about the author of the story.  For one thing, this tiny episode hints at a high level of understanding by those early people, the kind of which is largely absent within the homogenous thinking of modern society.  Furthermore, within this context, the legend also illustrates the nature of true leadership.
