KNOWLEDGE ALONE CAN SAVE THE HUMAN RACE FROM ANOTHER DARK AG

All of these l e s sons , p a s t and fu ture , have but one dominant purpose. Tha t

purpose is to give you the knowledge you need to live gloriously and abundantly

a s an individual unit of Crea t ion , and to l ive collectively, in peace and happi -

n e s s with all other human uni t s of Crea t ion .

These lessons a r e a SCIENCE O F LIFE, o r a SCIENCE O F HUMAN

RELATIONS, for the i r s u p r e m e pErpose is to give a l l mankind knowledge of

how to live together g l o r i o ~ s l y , and abundantly, in peace and happiness. M a n .?

h a s never ye t had that knowledge.

The t ime has come when the human r a c e m u s t have that knowledge and put k

i t into prac t ice , f o r the wor ld is now i n grave danger because of long p r a c t i c e

of' a cosmical ly c r imina l s y s t e m sf hurnan rela t ions which has bred hate and

f e a r into the ve ry warp and woof of the r a c e and made every man the e n e m y of

every other man.

i s the f i r s t step toward tha t degradat ion and degeneracy too hor r ib le t o

descent of man toward oblivion has inc reased with a la rming accelerat ion of

speed for fifty y e a r s . I t will i n c r e a s e i t s speed until the human race i s blotted

out by the dehumanization p r o c e s s begun by the new kind of enemy and the new

the human race so quickly, however , and s o insidiously, that he m a y be too

weak to cope with i t when he a t l a s t does comprehend i t .

man has become enlightened with new knowledge needed for the t ransformat ion

of a l l mankind.

War i s universal. War between man and man i s not local, nor i s i t

national, nor i s i t cyclic o r periodic, with intervals of peace. War between

man and man i s continuous. It beg n when m a n brought his might over right . . h

methods from the jungle into his new stage of unfolding a s Consciousness

dawned in him.

There never have been intervals of peace without fear. There have been I

but truces between wars of nations, and between wars of men in their dealings -

with other men. These too have been but truces - -truces heavy with fear.

There never has been peace between natian or neighbor where nations could P. - ---

fearlessly disarm, or neikhbors could P&arlessly unlock their doors, or cities -- -

could withdraw their police .

F e a r of criminal aggression has kept nations heavily armed, cities

+ $'

heavily policed and neighbors doors securely locked.

F e a r of hunger and insecurity has bred anarchy, nazism, communism, and

Hitler -Mus solini-Stalin leaders of hate.

F e a r bred greed--and greed divided the world of man into master and

slave --ruler and subject - -aristocrat and commoner - -feudal lord and serf - - rich and poor --exploiter and exploited- -landlord and tenant --capital and labor - - a disunited world divided against itself.

That i s what war is--the EFFECT of FEAR. There i s no! time in human

history when there has been a cessation of *r, nor freedom from.. FEAR of

war. - 1 MAN IS DESTROYING HIMSELF

Nature i s now destroying man for man's defiance of Natural law. Nature -

UNIVERSAL LAW, NATURAL SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY Page 543

never -punishes. She but gives in kind for that which is given. Man has given

hate and f e a r to man, and Nature h a s given hate and fear back to him. Man

has always made war .to destroy, enslave, exploit o r take that which i s the

possession of other men--whether i t be h is life, f reedom, love, happiness or

securi ty. Might over right has always been the sole bas is of his dealings with -

other men

All of man! s empires have been built that way, in violation of God' s law- -

and God's law is now dismembering every empire that man has ever built fo r I)

THE COSMIC PENDULUM SWINGS THE OTHER W A Y

People who a r e fearing the probability of another world war a r e thinking

of a war of guns, bombs, bat t leships and marching men. Tradition and habit

have made them think that way. Such people a r e watching for the approach of

interchange gives power to each equally--instead of to one of the pa i r --unequally.

Both a re enriched- -instead of both being impoverished.

Under Nature's law of universa l brotherhood of man the cosmic' pendulum

swings both ways. The power wielded by the mas te r for centuries , generates

hatred of equal power in the slave. The cosmic pendulum then swings the other - - -

way to balance the action of inhumanity to man with i ts equal reaction of

inhumanity to man.

d That i s what i s happening in the world today. This war which has already -

been raging for yea r s is not a war of nation against nation to build g r e a t e r P

THE HUMAN RACE IS NOW REAPING THE WHIRLWIND

Natural law is now swiftly giving back to world conquerors the agony which

they gave to the dead whom they have conquered by the sword. The dead a r e

All the atom bombs in the world will not r each the enemy which now

It i s difficult for Chr is t ian people to understand the power of hate which

denies God and r idicules GOOD, but that power i s strong. It i s the power of

might over right which the f r e e half of the world used to enslave the other half .
