I soon learned to know this flower better. On the little prince’s planet the flowers had always been very simple. They had only one ring of petals; they took up no room at all; they were a trouble to nobody. One morning they would appear in the grass, and by night they would have faded peacefully away. But one day, from a seed blown from no one

The world is big, but our time here is small and precious. Life is meant to be lived, not solved. And love … well, it’s like a white T-shirt with french fries and ketchup. It’s messy, but worth the risk.

“The problem with people is they forget that most of the time it’s the small things that count. Everyone’s so busy waiting in the Waiting Place. If we stopped to remember that there’s such a thing as a Purina Tower and a view like this, we’d all be happier.”

In terms of production and wealth, not to mention culture, the differences between the major pre-industrial regions were, by modern standards, remarkably small; say between 1 and 1.8. Indeed a recent estimate calculates that between 1750 and 1800 the per capita gross national product in what are today known as the ‘developed countries’ was substantially the same as in what is now known as the ‘Third World’, though this is probably due to the enormous size and relative weight of the Chinese Empire (with about a third of the world’s population), whose average standard of living may at that stage have actually been superior to that of Europeans.3 In the eighteenth century Europeans would have found the Celestial Empire a very strange place indeed, but no intelligent observer would have regarded it in any sense as an inferior economy and civilization to Europe’s, still less as a ‘backward’ country. But in the nineteenth century the gap between the western countries, base of the economic revolution which was transforming the world, and the rest widened, at first slowly, later with increasing rapidity. By 1880 (according to the same calculation) the per capita income in the ‘developed’ world was about double that in the ‘Third World’, by 1913 it was to be over three times as high, and widening. By 1950 (to dramatize the process) the difference was between 1 and 5, by 1970 between 1 and 7. Moreover, the gap between the ‘Third World’ and the really developed parts of the ‘developed’ world, i.e. the industrialized countries, began earlier and widened even more dramatically. The per capita share of the GNP was already almost twice that in the ‘Third World’ in 1830, about seven times as high in 1913.

In Antigua, people speak of slavery as if it had been a pageant full of large ships sailing on blue water, the large ships filled up with human cargo- their ancestors; they got off, they were forced to work under conditions that were cruel and inhuman, they were beaten, they were murdered, they were sold, their children were taken from them and these separations lasted forever, there were many other bad things, and then suddenly the whole thing came to an end in something called emancipation. Then they speak of emancipation itself as if it happened just the other day, not over one hundred and fifty years ago. The word "emancipation", were a contemporary occurence, something everybody is familiar with.

Groups Representing the Surrogate Mother
Every cult serves as a maternal substitution, to one extent of an-
other. The cult is the mystical wife of the guru, and is the family rebuilt around him. Moreover, certain sects are organized around a female guru, who doubly plays the role of substitute mother.
The cult may only adopt the role of a substitute for the family, or
share it with the guru who plays the role of the father. The maternal group is ambivalent; it is at the same time the good and the bad mother. It represents a place for protection and regression. Certain sects particularly develop this maternal aspect in regard to the follower. These groups are usually small groups that support the direct transfer between the follower and a female guru.
