Men of your Earth know the terrible power sealed within the bombs they are piling up for use against one another. Yet they blunder on ever nearer to the brink of an unthinkable world-wide slaughter. This, to us, is strangely illogical.? 2Yes,? one of the men agreed, ?your behavior does often seem illogical to us. Let me give you an example. You have physical fathers on Earth, do you not?? 2Yes,? | replied. ?If you had two sons, born of your own flesh and blood, as you say, and if for one reason or another one of your Sons knelt before you and asked your blessing on his determination to slay his brother, who is also your son, would-you grant his request because he professed himself right and his brother wrong?? My reply was naturally, ?Of course not!? 2Yet,? he pointed out, ?that is exactly what you Earthlings have been doing throughout the centuries. You all acknowledge a Supreme Being according to your understanding, and you speak of the brotherhood of mankind. Yet you ask the Eternal Father of all things to do that which you yourselves would not do. For when you people are warring against one another, you fall to your knees in unholy prayer. You ask your Divine Father to bless your efforts to gain a victory over your own lifebrother, even to the extent of destroying him. 2We, as your brothers living on other worlds than your own, view impartially the divided groups of people upon your planet. We, who have learned more regarding our Father?s laws, operative throughout the Universe, cannot make the distinctions that keep you in such constant turmoil and we are saddened to a ee te bee Ie 2 ee et VA 2 Let ne 2 A ee ne see what is taking place on your Earth.

But at no time may we force our way of life upon the people of your world. ?In reality, there are no inherently bad people on Earth, nor anywhere in the Universe. If, as many of you express it, your lives seem to consist of a ?hell on Earth,? you yourselves are to blame. Your planet, even as all others, was created by our One Divine Creator and is in itself a holy place, as are all His creations. Were all mankind suddenly to be swept from the face of Earth, and ?with them the strife and woe and grief they have brought upon it by not learning how to live together, Earth would be beautiful. But never so beautiful as a world on which men live as brothers with all in the Universe. ?Because one man is a stranger to another does not give him the right to ignore, Fens Fea a OT | OS Ol | OS insult, or to kill a fellow being. 2?You have set aside a day each year for the observance of the Brotherhood of Man, and you speak of the Fatherlhood of the Creator. Yet, in complete oblivion of the actions which such declarations should bring forth, you lavish money and effort toward swifter and more widespread ways of maiming and destroying your fellow men on Earth. Does it not seem curious to pray to the Divine Father to Llane eee Ao ee ab oe Ae nae natn bless your efforts in this ruthless destruction? 2We hear these prayers coming from your temples, from your government leaders, from your homes and from the battlefields. Can you not see how far astray you have gone? For you are actually asking your Divine Father to do that
