Stacey Heartspring Encounters the Postmodern Craze of Neo-Advaita A Truly Imaginary Spiritual Satire 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 STACEY: Whoa, just wait a minute. Of course it has to do with the heart. I mean, what about when people suffer? What about all those poor people in the World Trade Center? And, for that matter, what about my Great Uncle Mischa? Even though I've never told anyone his story, he's often on my mind. You see, one day dear Aunt Beryl took me aside and confided in me: "Stacey, you should know what happened to our family during World War II, so I'll tell you. When the Nazis invaded Romania, which is where some of your Jewish ancestors were from, they first looked for the Jewish doctors and teachers in the small villages. And they came upon your Great Uncle Mischa, who was a teacher and was in the middle of teaching his young class. And they marched him out of the school at gunpoint, with his class of students following him. And right in front of his students, in the school yard, they forced him to dig a large ditch, and then in front of all his students, they buried him alive. And that was how the Nazis destroyed the Jews, and it worked." (Of course it worked. . .!!!) STACEY: Who's there? Who said that!? Adolf Hitler?!! Oh my God!! HITLER: Stacey, since you were talking about God's will and the extermination of the Jews, nothing could stop me. I had to respond. You see, I received a divine mandate while I was recovering from a gas attack during the first World War. And as I lay there, it came over me that I would liberate the German people and make Germany great. . . . [And I was] animated with an inexorable resolve to seize the Evil [the Jews] by the roots and to exterminate it root and branch. To attain our aim, [I knew] we should stop at nothing, even if we must join forces with the Devil. STACEY: And I heard that the people who participated in this extermination wanted to commit these unspeakable acts. Through their own free will. TONY: Stacey, there is no question of there being free will, simply because there is no one there in the first place who can have a will or make a choice. HITLER: But, I could not have done it without so many willing participants. And here with me is one of my commanders, Eduard Strauch, who will testify to that. STRAUCH: Heil Hitler! No one should ever doubt the eagerness of the men who served under you. Even if the killing was hard and unpleasant . . . we [were] convinced that someone must carry out these tasks. I can state with pride that my men [were] proud to act out of conviction and fidelity to their Führer. TONY: Everything that happened . . . could not have been any other way. ESTHER: And while the spontaneous, uninhibited, un-premeditated action is happening there is peace. . . . While you are acting with full focus and putting all your energy into it, minus judgments, there is peace. You see, peace is there when you experience what is as it is fully. STACEY: Peace? What do you mean peace? Do you think my Uncle Mischa, or his students, or his family, or any of the families of the World Trade Center victims experienced peace on those fateful days? And what about the fact that Hitler, and everyone who committed these heinous acts, had personal responsibility? TONY: Don't worry, Stacey. [Hitler], like everyone else, played out the character that consciousness chose, and death is simply a return to the source from where the character appeared. The beloved plays every part in the play. . . . From the point of view of the separate self, everything . . . seems to be a battle ensuing between good and evil. . . . Once awakening happens, it is seen that there is no such thing as right or wrong.
