which you yourself would not do for your own children. Can you not see how hypocritical you have become? And this is but one illustration of the many things which you do against your Divine Father. 2So long as you live this way, divided one against the other, your sorrows will be multiplied. For when you seek your brother?s life, someone seeks yours. This is the meaning of the words once spoken by Jesus of Nazareth. Remember that he said: ?Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they who take the sword shall perish with the sword.? The truth of these words has been proven throughout the history of man on Earth.? As he ceased speaking, a picture of the Earth and the problems of the men thereon flashed before my eyes, and | was saddened for my fellow men and for myself as Earthlings. For with the picture came also the realization of how gigantic is the task to correct these conditions. So many throughout the world are unawakened to the causes behind them. Only when enough people realize what they are and, with their whole hearts, desire to change them by giving up their personal greeds and the desire for exaltation, one above the other, can it come to pass. No one person, no one nation, no one part of the world could alone be blamed for the conditions that | saw pictured, nor could any one segment of civilization do much to alter it. Responsibility lies with each and every person?and who can forcibly change another? A bondage that is the result of centuries of accumulated misunderstandings, divisions and personal desire for power is difficult to break. As this realization filled me, | was overcome with humble gratitude to our Divine Father for permitting His children from other worlds who understood our problems of Earth to come our way and extend helping hands of love and compassion to us. Although they could not force change upon us, nor actively interfere, they could help the receptive amongst us to strive together for a better world, instead of warring against one another and thus causing further divisions. | realized that much time must pass before such change could come, for mankind has grown to accept pain and sorrow as inevitable, seldom seeking to deviate from the familiar path. Emerging from my musings, | noticed that the ladies were rising from their chairs. 2We must now don our pilot suits,? a lovely brunette explained, ?after which we shall go to the instrument room where you will see many things about which you have wondered.? Their departure gave me an opportunity to observe details of this beautiful salon. On the wall directly in front of us was a huge chart of the heavens. This showed twelve planets in our system with its central Sun. Surrounding ours were other systems with their suns and planets shown in a way that was new to me. Throughout space, between the planets, were details of the various atmospheric conditions existing in space, of which we on Earth are totally unaware. | was told that this knowledge is very important for safe space traveling. There were many markings on this chart, which | was unable to read, but | figured that the purpose was similar to that of our many road maps used by motorists on Earth for convenience in traveling. This was corroborated by one of the men.
