Besides, remember that there is also another side to this matter of evidence, of which you are fully informed and understand the reason why we must wait in patience for the fulfillment of our hopes. Just the other day | received a letter indicating that such possibilities are showing and it seems that eventually support will come from that source, which would be a blessing to the world. So again | have to wait with faith, letting time be the judge. | can see your point about personal witnesses who, free from security or personal reasons, would be at liberty to speak out and support me. But just as skeptics would question my own affidavit, would they not question that of anyone else? This was proven in regard to the sworn testimony of witnesses present at the meeting described in Flying Saucers Have Landed. When a critic is a critic, one can bring the Almighty before him and still he will question. Even the average man is quick to doubt anything that is new to him. When it comes to concrete articles made on another planet which | might produce, would they really serve? Quite apart from the impossibility of showing them to all readers of the book, we are up against the same old story in regard to photographs of such things. Can you not anticipate such comments as ?Adamski concocted this or that and photographed it,??or ?What?s so different about this goblet, or that piece of material?? And indeed, judging from anything | personally saw aboard the space craft, there is actually no more superficial difference between a Venusian goblet and ours than between the thousand and one widely varying types manufactured here on Earth! Look what they have said about the space craft photos which show objects entirely different from any made on Earth?and which have been photographed by many people in different parts of the world! So, no matter how you look at it, unless the person himself has that something necessary to recognize truth, it would make no difference what was presented as evidence, he still would want concrete proof to suit his own understanding, ignoring all the other minds in the world. It is almost like this: he who has the depth of life within his being needs none of these, but he who has not, as Jesus said, ?shall ask for signs, but no signs shall be given,? for if they were, the doubters would not understand them. His words are just as true today. He who has the truth asks not for proof, for his inner feeling recognizes that truth which is in itself proof. And we have an outstanding corroboration of this in respect to Flying Saucers Have Landed. As you know, | am nobody, living by preference in the mountains rather than in a city where | could meet ?all the right people.? In that book was plenty of material for the psychologists, psychoanalysts and professional critics to work on?and they did! Yet the book has gone round the world. You read many of the letters we received and saw that, while a few were of a skeptical and critical nature, most of them were praising. You noted how many people told of their own personal experiences of which, because they too could present no ?concrete proof,? they feared to speak; or, had tried to tell to friends and relatives?with unhappy results! http://web.archive.org/web/2001090503301 6/http:/Awww.universe-people.com/
