Eternal Modeling

As a female and future mother, I applaud the effort offered in Jeff BrownÆs (2005) Black Body Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe to urge us to develop compassion and eternal spirit to undermine the pernicious influence of materialism and self-interest in contemporary society. Only by serving others with compassion and focusing on nature over materialism can we achieve a viable society that is healthy and provides happiness and self-fulfillment. When a mysterious being admonishes human beings for their lack of appreciation of creation and their material self-interests, people naturally understand the being is correct. When they adhere to its advice, they are rewarded with the natural joy and happiness of existence experienced in their youth:

they cared about their future more than ever. And something that quiet voice kept saying to them made their bellies feel like a malted milk shake royal supremeàAnd it was the same thing they had heard in their youth, which allowed them to be at play twenty-four sevenö (Brown, 2005, p. 319).

The journey of Augustus, a young boy with the capacity to develop the skills and understanding necessary to lead a life of service with compassion toward others, is meant to demonstrate the development that is required in order for human beings to reconnect with their eternal spirit. Our focus on material concerns and our own interests have robbed us of our compassion toward others, our appreciation of life, and has undermined our faith. When the mysterious being visits Augustus initially, its only message is ôJust here to tell you to keep the faithö (Brown, 2005, p. 3). @ugustus is not sure why he is selected to receive such a special visit but eventually his magical and mystical experiences with a fish, Bebe, a young boy of great heart, and others like the closed-minded Mel make him aware of his capacity for humility, appreciation, and most of all compassion.
