Sacred States is the tenth book in a series encouraging young people to visit married couples in order to invoke the American Christ Whose youthful death separated their "sacred" states, and evolved (as Love, truth, beauty) their extended mutual attraction. The shared words of marital hospitality in His name recapitulate the evolution, via neoteny, of wolf pack generational cooperation, and of dogs' transference of that equality and belonging to humans.

At the national level America is two parties, like parents, stuck with each other, and the youthful visitor is symbolic constituent, prodigal son, and alien other, protected by the democratic equality of her hosts who see Christ in each other, and in her.
