Relationships- The Alphabet of Ameliorating Hope By Brian Aldiss

The Alphabet of Ameliorating Hope By Brian Aldiss

Angelic voices speak of a utopia which will soon come about

                once the secret research in Wisden, Ohio, is completed.

Basically, existence of a ‘circumstance-chain’ in human

               relationships will be established, proving causality

               between mental activity and the external physical

               world.

‘Circumstance-chains’ are operative in all human lives; for

                instance, the child deprived of love develops into

                being who finds difficulty in establishing loving

                relationships in adulthood.

Directly the research is complete, we shall view the world

                anew.

Example: terms like ‘loser’ or ‘the guy who has all the luck’ will

                be seen as  labels for those who are bound, favourably or

                otherwise, by circumstance-chains.

For clarity, this revolutionary aspect of the human

                condition will be termed ‘transpsychic reality’; a new

                sanity will prevail on earth.

Going mad will no longer be necessary.

Horror will vanish, fear will never strike.

Intellect will never more be scorned.

Joy will visit rich and poor alike.

Keeping faith in love and life will be an easier thing.

Love will not be just a theme people sing.

Madge Winterbourne was the hero in Wisden, Ohio; she had

                originated the anti-catastrophic hypothesis.

No one who met her doubted she was the modern equivalent

                of seer or saint.

Or an Einstein of the female sex.

Plans were hatched to release details of transpsychic reality

                to the whole world on the same day, the first of a new

                century.

Qualitative tests on volunteers in Wisden suggest that once

                people understand the pattern of their lives, they can

                be taught to take command of them.

Reality will then change; those who are malicious will see

               the root causes of misery provoking their malice,

               and be able to expunge it.

Some criminals, and power-seekers may prove more difficult

                to readjust, may indeed form a core rebellion

                against the new utopia.

Tranpsychic reality will see them gradually phased out.

Utopia, once on the move, will prove as irresistible as a

                glacier.

Very soon, a golden age- long dreamed of in the hearts and

                minds of men and women- will be established,

 which the animal kingdom will share with humans.

Wonder will grow like cedar,

Xenophobia will die without voice.

You too will prevail, dear reader.

Zygotes themselves will rejoice.

From A to Z Aldiss speaks of the cause for and effects of a more peaceful world.  Peace must begin with a fundamental focus on human relationships which he calls circumstance-chains. The key is seeking the knowledge needed, the result reacting in a way to bring positive change to our world. The human race will be happier, healthier and live without fear. Everyone will be entitled to this life without divisions created by those who desire more than their share.  If we began to live in peace it will be contagious, and we too will live in harmony with one another as the natural world intends for us to do.  Those who do not agree will eventually fade away as we teach others to live life in love. The changes required are not difficult we only need change what we accept as reality and start believing in a beautiful existence.
