THE PERSONALITY STRIVES TO MAINTAIN THE SEPARATENESS BY PERPETUATING THE MYTH OF UNIQUENESS. THE ESSENCE OF COURSE IS AWARE THAT IT IS ONLY A FRAGMENT OF A GREATER WHOLE. THE PERSONALITY FIGHTS ALL INFERENCE THAT IT MIGHT BE CATEGORIZED OR NEATLY SLOTTED. THIS EXPLAINS PERHAPS SOME OF THE HOSTILITY MET WITH IN EXPLAINING THIS TEACHING. IN GIVING YOU THE OVERLEAVES, WE GIVE YOU ONLY A TOOL TO ENABLE YOU TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES IN YOUR BROTHERS, SO THAT YOU MIGHT ACCEPT THEM AT THE PLACE WHERE THEY NOW ARE, RATHER THAN TO SPIN WHEELS AND WASTE ENERGY IN ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE THEM. THE OVERLEAVES ARE GIVEN IN MUCH THE SAME SPIRIT, BUT PERHAPS COUCHED IN VERY DIFFERENT SEMANTICS, BY OTHER CAUSAL TEACHERS. MANY ASTRAL ENTITIES REBEL AGAINST THIS, AS THEY TOO STILL REBEL AGAINST INTEGRATION, WHETHER IT BE OF FRAGMENTS OF ENTITIES, OR SIMPLY CADRES ATTEMPTING TO LIVE TOGETHER.

WE SPOKE BEFORE OF INSTINCTIVE BEHAVIOR IN MAN, AND WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THAT INFORMATION THIS EVENING. ONLY THE PERSONALITY THAT IS ENCULTURATED RETAINS THIS ANIMAL-LIKE INSTINCTIVE BEHAVIOR. THE ESSENCE BEHAVES IN QUITE A DIFFERENT MANNER IF IT IS ALLOWED TO BLOOM. WHEN THE MANIFESTED ESSENCE WISHES TO MAKE A DECISION, IT MERELY DOES SO, WITHOUT THE ENDLESS DEBATE AND FEAR THAT ACCOMPANIES LIFE DECISIONS, BASED UPON THE OVERLEAVES. ONLY THE PERSONALITY IS GOVERNED BY THE OVERLEAVES, AND THESE ARE NON-REASONING AND INCAPABLE OF MANIFESTING THE HIGHER EMOTION. OUR USE OF THE SIMILE OF THE “TOP BABOON” IS NOT FAR FROM RIGHT IN DESCRIBING THE BEHAVIOR FOR MANY AGGRESSIVE YOUNG EXALTEDS IN THIS CULTURE, DRIVEN BY PRIMITIVE INSTINCTS TO REMAIN AT THE TOP OF THE PECKING ORDER. ALL OF THE MATING BEHAVIOR AND RITUALS ARE BORROWED OR BROUGHT FORWARD FROM MORE PRIMAL TIMES, AND CAN BE OBSERVED IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM EXTENSIVELY IF ONE TAKES THE TIME.

FOOD-GATHERING IS ALSO INSTINCTIVE: JUST WITNESS THE HOARDING THAT TAKES PLACE WHEN A FAVORITE FOOD STUFF MAY BE IN SHORT SUPPLY. RECENTLY THERE WAS SUPPOSEDLY A COPPER SHORTAGE, AND THERE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN A HOARDING OF COPPER COINS JUST AS THOUGH THEY WERE INTRINSICALLY VALUABLE. THEY ARE NOT, OF COURSE, AND THIS CULTURE WOULD CERTAINLY SURVIVE IF NOT A SINGLE PENNY WERE EVER MINTED AGAIN. THIS BEHAVIOR REMINDS US MUCH OF SQUIRRELS STORING UP FOR WINTER, AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT.

PRIVATE STORES OF FOOD STUFFS IN THIS AFFLUENT CULTURE ARE ENORMOUS, AND YET THERE IS AMPLE AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE. NO LONGER IS IT NECESSARY TO STOCK UP ON ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY IN THE URBAN AREAS, AND YET THE NEED FOR HOARDING IS PERPETUATED BY MANIPULATION OF THE ECONOMY. THIS IS SUBTLE INDEED, BUT NEVERTHELESS, NECESSARY FOR THE PERSONALITY TO RETAIN CONTROL AND TO BE ALLOWED TO PERPETUATE OLD SAFE HABITS SUCH AS FOOD-GATHERING AND MAINTAINING ONE’S POSITION IN THE PECKING ORDER.

THE DESPERATION EVIDENCED BY MATELESS HUMANS IS CERTAINLY A HOLDOVER FROM PREVIOUS TIMES WHEN THE “BACHELORS” WERE DRIVEN FROM THE HERD. BARREN FEMALES WERE OF NO USE TO THE HERDS, AND SO WERE QUICKLY STARVED, OR AT LEAST MADE TO FEEL USELESS. THIS REMAINED AFTER THE DOMINANT SPECIES WAS ENSOULED, AND WHEN WOMEN BECAME EXTENSIVELY INVOLVED IN WITCHCRAFT AND THE ANCIENT PRIESTHOOD. IT WAS FIRST AND FOREMOST TO ENSURE THEIR SURVIVAL IN THE HERD. THE NECESSITY FOR BARRIER GROUPS, AND THEIR PERPETUATION, OF COURSE, BELONGS BACK WITH THE TIME WHEN THERE WAS SAFETY IN NUMBERS. AT FIRST THIS NECESSITY WAS PERPETUATED BY WARFARE. NOW WARFARE HAS BECOME SO AWESOME THAT NO ONE WISHES TO TRY IT — BUT THERE IS STILL THE LONGING TO WAGE THE TERRITORIAL BATTLES, AND THE NEED TO ACTIVELY “DO” THIS THING, SO THERE IS TERROR ON THE STREETS AND DISSIDENT GROUPS READY AND ABLE TO DO BATTLE AT A MOMENT’S NOTICE. THE PERSONALITY LIKES BEING SCARED. IT IS VAGUELY OR EVEN OVERTLY UNEASY WHEN IT IS NOT FRIGHTENED. THE HUNTED ANIMAL IS ALWAYS FRIGHTENED, AND IS CONSTANTLY ALERT TO LURKING DANGER. THE [human] PERSONALITY MAINTAINS THIS ALERTNESS, AND MANUFACTURES DRAGONS OF STUPENDOUS SIZE TO KEEP THE CONFLICTS GOING.

THIS PLANET HAS EVOLVED TO THE POINT WHERE IT COULD CERTAINLY HAVE A STABLE ECONOMY AND AN EFFECTIVE GLOBAL GOVERNMENT BASED UPON SOMETHING BESIDES WHIM, AND YET EVEN DISCUSSION OF THIS PRODUCES DELICIOUS FEAR, ENOUGH TO KEEP IT FROM EVER GETTING PAST THE CONFERENCE TABLE. TRIBES ARE STILL NECESSARY, YOU SEE, IN ORDER TO KEEP THE CONFLICTS GOING. IF THE TRIBES WERE ELIMINATED THEN THERE WOULD BE NO MORE TERRITORIAL BATTLES, AND THEN WHERE WOULD ALL THAT LOVELY NEGATIVE ENERGY GO? IT WOULD NEVER OCCUR TO THE PERSONALITY TO YEARN FOR PEACE ON EARTH, AND YET IT FREQUENTLY PARROTS THIS IN ITS SPEECHES AND EXHORTATIONS — BUT PIN IT DOWN AND PEACE ON EARTH IS THE LAST THING IT WANTS. IT HAS NOW SCARED ITSELF NIGH UNTO DEATH, THOUGH, WITH THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS IT HAS DEVISED, AND THIS HAS EFFECTIVELY PUT A MORATORIUM ON WAR ON ANY GRAND SCALE FOR AWHILE.

THIS IS PRECISELY WHY THERE IS NOW A RESURGENCE OF EFFORT ON THE PART OF CAUSAL TEACHERS TO BRING CADRES SUCH AS YOURS TOGETHER IN THIS BRIEF RESPITE. IF ENOUGH ARE BROUGHT TOGETHER, IT COULD TURN THE TIDE, BUT ONLY IF THE TEACHING IS LIVED. THE “TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATORS” ARE QUITE RIGHT IN THEIR CONTENTION THAT IF ENOUGH PEOPLE BEGAN TO MEDITATE IT COULD TURN THE TIDE. THE PERCENTAGE NECESSARY TO AFFECT THIS IS QUITE LARGE, THOUGH, AT LEAST SIXTY-FIVE PERCENT OF ALL HUMANITY WOULD HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS EFFORT. THE CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF THAT MANY MEDITATORS WIDELY DISPERSED UPON THIS PLANET WOULD HAVE THE EFFECT OF THE LITTLE POSTER THAT ASKS “WHAT IF THEY GAVE A WAR AND NOBODY CAME”. MEDITATION HAS THIS ONE SIDE EFFECT — EVEN ON THE SOULS IN THIS CULTURE. ON THIS CONTINENT ARE PERHAPS THE MOST ISOLATED MASS OF HUMANITY IN THIS SECTOR OF THE GALAXY. THEY PRIDE THEMSELVES ON THEIR ISOLATION, AND CALL IT “INDEPENDENCE” — A VERY PRETTY AND USELESS EUPHEMISM. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS INDEPENDENCE WHERE THE PERSONALITY IS CONCERNED, AND THE ESSENCE HAS NO NEED FOR THIS ISOLATION. THE PERSONALITY FEARS INDEPENDENCE PERHAPS MORE THAN ANY OTHER CONDITION. IT EVEN CONTRACTS INCOMPATIBLE MATINGS IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS INDEPENDENCE, AND YET IT SETS THIS UP AS THE GOAL TOWARD WHICH TO STRIVE — THE LESSON TO BE TAUGHT TO ONE’S CHILDREN, THE UNREACHABLE GOAL. IT SPELLS ONLY DISCONTENT FOR THOSE WHO DO ACHIEVE IT TO A DEGREE, SINCE ONE OF ITS BYPRODUCTS IS A LONELINESS EVEN MORE AWESOMELY COMPLETE THAN THE GENERALIZED LONELINESS THAT AFFLICTS THIS CULTURE.

OTHER WORLDS HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALSO — EVEN IN THIS YOU ARE NOT UNIQUE. YET SOME HAVE MANAGED TO COME PAST INSTINCTIVE BEHAVIOR PATTERNS, AND EVOLVE TO SOMETHING MORE STABLE. OUR STUDENT SOLEAL’S WORLD IS AN EXAMPLE OF A PLACE WHERE EVOLUTION TOOK A POSITIVE SWING THROUGH THE RISE OF TECHNOLOGY, TO THE POINT WHERE IT SATISFIED ALL MATERIAL NEEDS OF THE POPULATION, LEAVING THEM WITH MUCH TIME TO SPARE. THEY USED THIS TIME TO GROW SPIRITUALLY.

THIS CULTURE IS FRIGHTENED TO DEATH BY LEISURE, AND IT CANNOT USE THIS TIME EFFECTIVELY, EVEN THOUGH THE TECHNOLOGY HAS ADVANCED TO THAT POINT. ALL MUNDANE CHORES CAN NOW BE EFFECTIVELY PERFORMED BY MACHINES IN THIS CULTURE, AND IF THE WAR TECHNOLOGY WERE DIVERTED INTO PEACEFUL CHANNELS, EVEN MORE ALONG THIS LINE WOULD COME. BUT AS IT NOW STANDS, THIS CULTURE WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN, BECAUSE THIS CULTURE KNOWS ONLY HOW TO DO — IT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO BE. THE PHENOMENON THAT SURROUNDS THE PRODUCTION OF A WORKING TECHNOLOGY IS AN INTERESTING ONE INDEED, FOR YOU SEE, WHAT SPURS IT ON IS THE NEED FOR MORE SOPHISTICATED WEAPONRY — NOTHING MORE. ALL OTHERS ARE MERELY BYPRODUCTS OF THAT. ALL LABOR-SAVING DEVICES, ALL COMPUTATION DEVICES — ALL ARE BYPRODUCTS OF WEAPONRY RESEARCH OF SOME TYPE. EVEN LIFE SAVING DRUGS NORMALLY COME ABOUT IN THIS FASHION, AND ARE SOMETIMES QUITE INCIDENTAL TO WHAT THE RESEARCH INTENDED TO PRODUCE. IN ORDER TO PRODUCE MORE SOPHISTICATED WEAPONRY, YOU MUST THEN HAVE A CONTINUOUS CAUSE, OR AT LEAST THE THREAT OF INVASION FROM WITHOUT. AS LONG AS THIS LASTS, AS LONG AS YOU HAVE AN ENEMY, THEN YOUR TECHNOLOGY WILL GROW MORE AND MORE SOPHISTICATED, IF ONLY TO PROVE THAT YOU ARE STILL TOP BABOON. THIS IS ALL IT IS ANYWAY. IF THIS WERE SUDDENLY TO STOP, THEN THERE WOULD BE PANIC AND MORE FEAR THAN THE AVERAGE PERSONALITY COULD HANDLE. THIS ENTIRE PLANET IS NOW INVOLVED IN THE WEAPONS RACE, WHICH SHOULD WITHIN THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS PRODUCE AN ASTONISHINGLY SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGY, NOT TO BE SURPASSED BY MANY WORLDS.

THE ONLY ADVANTAGE THAT ANY OTHER WORLD NOW HAS OVER THIS ONE IS INTERSTELLAR SPACE TRAVEL — AND THAT COULD BE YOURS IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE. THE ONLY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR WORLD AND A MORE ADVANCED WORLD IS THE LEVEL OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH THAT SPELLS COOPERATION WITHIN ITS SOCIETY. WITHOUT THIS COOPERATION, THE CONCEPT OF PEACE IS RIDICULOUS. IT IS NOT EVEN A USABLE TERM, FOR AS LONG AS YOU RETAIN THE INSTINCTIVE BEHAVIOR OF THE HERD ANIMAL, THIS IS NOT A GOAL FOR YOU.

WHEN A SOCIETY DECIDES TO BREAK FROM THIS INSTINCTIVE BEHAVIOR PATTERN, IT USUALLY COMES DIRECTLY ON THE HEELS OF A SHAKING CATASTROPHE — SOMETHING ON THE ORDER OF A NUCLEAR WAR. THIS IS UNFORTUNATE, BUT TRUE IN MOST CASES. KNOWING THIS SHOULD AID IN FORESTALLING THIS TYPE OF CATASTROPHE, BUT IT USUALLY DOES NOT. WHAT HAPPENS IS WIDESPREAD SCORN AT THE VERY NOTION, AND INCREASED WEAPON’S RACE. PERSONALITY IS TERRIFIED BY THE VERY THOUGHT OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH ON A WORLDWIDE SCALE. IT WOULD SERVE TO DESTROY ALL OF THOSE SAFE, WELL-WORN PATTERNS THAT IT KNOWS AND PERPETUATES. WE CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH, IF ONLY TO SHOW YOU THAT IT IS THE PERSONALITY THAT IS IN CONTROL OF YOU RIGHT NOW. IT IS THE PERSONALITY THAT FEARS THIS TEACHING, AND WHAT LIES BEYOND. IT IS THE PERSONALITY THAT REFUSES TO COMMIT ITSELF TO THE PATH, NOT THE ESSENCE. THE PERSONALITY IS CLEVER IN THE WAY THAT A WILD BEAST IS CLEVER. IT LEARNS TO AVOID TRAPS THAT MIGHT LEAD TO ITS DEATH, WHICH IS PRECISELY WHAT HAPPENS IN A TEACHING WHEN A STUDENT BECOMES AN ADEPT. THE CONCEPT OF COOPERATION IS SO FRIGHTENING TO THE PERSONALITY THAT IT FIGHTS THIS, EVEN ON A VERY LIMITED SCALE, SUCH AS A SMALL COMMUNE. THE KNOWLEDGE THAT CONCESSIONS WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE, AND THE PERSONALITY WOULD HAVE TO GIVE INTO ANOTHER, KEEPS EVEN THE DISCUSSION DOWN ON A THEORETICAL LEVEL. THERE ARE OTHER EXAMPLES OF COURSE, BUT WE USE THIS ONE SIMPLY BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN THROWN OUT TO THIS GROUP, AND YOU HAVE ALL HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO OBSERVE AND PHOTOGRAPH THE VARIOUS REACTIONS TO THIS CONCEPT. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE YOU TO NOW PHOTOGRAPH THIS CADRE’S REACTION TO INFORMATION THAT THEY DO NOT LIKE. THE ENERGIES HERE THIS EVENING ARE EXTREMELY SCATTERED, AND STUDENTS ARE NOT PRESENT. WE WOULD PREFER THAT THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING BE SPENT IN DISCUSSION OF YOUR FEARS CONCERNING THE NEW DIRECTION OF THIS TEACHING AMONG YOURSELVES. WE OF COURSE HAVE NO QUARREL WITH THE SUGGESTION TO BEGIN THE COMING TOGETHER OF THIS CADRE WITH SILENCE AND MEDITATION. HANDLING THE NEGATIVITY WHICH WILL ARISE FROM THIS WILL BE EXCELLENT WORK FOR THOSE WHO FEAR IT, AND SEEK TO AVOID THIS. MANY OF YOU SEEK TO PLACATE, AND THIS IS NOT GOOD WORK.

YOU ARE QUITE RIGHT IN THAT MANY FORMS OF MEDITATION NOW EXIST, SIMPLY BECAUSE MEDITATORS HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THEY RESPOND TO ONE FORM MORE PROFOUNDLY THAN ANOTHER, AND THEY SETTLE UPON THAT FORM WHICH ENABLES THEM TO QUICKLY REACH THE DESIRED STATE, WHICH IS, OF COURSE, MINDLESSNESS — OR PERHAPS WE SHOULD SAY “PERSONALITY-LESSNESS”. WE HAVE ONLY SUGGESTED TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION FOR BEGINNERS BECAUSE THE RITUAL IS SOMETIMES OF HELP IN OVERCOMING THE RESISTANCE AND RETICENCE; BUT OTHER FORMS, SUCH AS FOCUSING ON MANDALA, CANDLE FLAMES, AND THE LIKE, ARE EQUALLY EFFECTIVE. [Knowing your] CENTERING IS OF COURSE VITAL IN DETERMINING WHICH METHOD WILL WORK FOR YOU. THE MAN R. HAS DISCOVERED ONE METHOD WHICH WORKS WELL FOR HIM, AND FOR A FEW OTHER STUDENTS. OTHERS HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THIS WITHIN THEMSELVES. MOVING CENTERED SOULS GENERALLY RESPOND TO A FORM OF MEDITATION THAT GIVES THEM SOMETHING ACTIVE TO DO WHEN THEY ARE ASCENDING TO THE MINDLESS STATE, SUCH AS RECITING A MANTRUM. EMOTIONALLY CENTERED SOULS RESPOND TO EMOTIONALLY-LADEN CRUTCHES, SUCH AS FLICKERING CANDLE FLAMES, ROSES AND OTHER BLOSSOMS, ETCETERA. INTELLECTUALLY CENTERED SOULS GENERALLY RESPOND TO THE TECHNIQUES RECOMMENDED BY THE MAN CHOGYAM (Trungpa).

THE WORK DONE HERE THIS EVENING IS VALUABLE. WE WISH TO CONTINUE. THE INFINITE SOUL MANIFESTED THROUGH THE MAN JESUS AND TAUGHT YOU TO “RESIST NO EVIL”. WE WOULD CONCISE THIS TO SAY “RESIST NOT”. ALL OF RESISTANCE COMES THROUGH THE FALSE PERSONALITY’S INADEQUATE PERCEPTION OF REALITY. FOR IF YOU TRULY OPEN THE INNER EYE TO PERCEIVE THAT WHICH IS, HOW CAN YOU RESIST BEING UNCONDITIONALLY LOVED: OPEN YOUR INNER EYE AND SEE THE BEAUTY, ENERGY AND “RIGHTNESS” OF THIS. MEDITATION IS INDEED THE PATH FOR YOU, _____. PURSUE IT WITH A NEWLY-FOUND DILIGENCE. WE ARE ONE. AGAIN WE SAY, UNTIL YOU FINALLY UNDERSTAND THAT LOVE IS THE HIGHEST TRUTH AND TRUTH IS THE GREATEST GOOD.

WE HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU EARLIER OF FEAR. THE FEAR OF CLOSENESS IN YOUR CULTURE IS QUITE A PHENOMENON. LIVING COMMUNALLY IS A FRIGHTENING THING. IT IS THEREFORE AN EXPERIENCE THROUGH WHICH YOU MAY LEARN TO MOVE THROUGH AND BEYOND FEAR. ALIENATION IS NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH ALONENESS. ALONENESS IS ESSENTIAL FOR SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION. — ALONENESS AS EXPERIENCED IN THE MEDITATIVE STATE. YOU MUST ULTIMATELY STAND ALONE. ALIENATION IS NOT THIS SPIRITUAL ALONENESS, BUT MERELY A DEFENSE MECHANISM OF THE FALSE PERSONALITY, WHICH WISHES TO ENJOY ITS ILLUSION OF UNIQUENESS.

FEAR OF YOUR BROTHER IS CERTAINLY NOT NEW. TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO THAT SAME FEAR ABORTED THE REALIZATION OF TRUTH MANIFESTED WITHIN MAN. THE OPPORTUNITY WILL OF COURSE COME AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL YOU LEARN TO LOVE. THIS MEDIUM SENSES THE DIVISION EXISTING WITHIN THE PSYCHE OF MOST OF THE CADRE, AND IT IS THE FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL. ONLY THE EGO NEEDS TO SURVIVE. THE ESSENCE “SURVIVES” ALREADY IN ETERNITY. IMPATIENCE, LACK OF TRUST, AND A STUBBORN CLINGING TO THE “I AM NOT PSYCHIC” BELIEF HOLD YOU ALL FROM EXPERIENCING TRUTH AS IT IS AVAILABLE TO ALL. GROUP LIVING, YOUR MOST MENACING NEW HORIZON, IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EMBRACING GROWTH. YOU MAY OF COURSE MAKE ANOTHER CHOICE. THAT CHOICE LEADS TO FURTHER APARTHEID, FURTHER ALIENATION, AND FURTHER DESIRE TO COMPETE — FURTHER DESIRE, IN OTHER WORDS, FOR WAR.

“LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION” THE PRAYER SAYS. YOU ARE THE ONES WHO LEAD. TAKE HEED THE WORDS. IT IS NOT SOME GOD OR DEVIL WHO LEADS — IT IS ONLY YOU. OPEN YOURSELVES TO THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING AT ONE WITH ALL THAT LIVES. RATHER, OPEN YOURSELVES TO EXPERIENCING OF THIS, FOR IT ALREADY IS. “GOOD WILL TO MEN”, A CLICHÉ IN YOUR CULTURE, CAN BE TAKEN TO A MUCH DEEPER LEVEL. FIRST OF ALL, “WILL” — IT BEGINS WITH AN ABILITY TO ACCEPT WHAT IS REAL, THEN A “WILLINGNESS” TO FOLLOW WHEREVER THE INTUITIVE SENSE LEADS. “GOOD” IS MERELY A WORD WHICH IMPLIES THE ABSENCE OF EVIL. GOODWILL IS THE ESSENTIAL MIND-SET FOR THOSE ON THE PATH, IF UNDERSTOOD IN THIS WAY. THE YIN-YANG IS A MOST VALID SYMBOL TO PONDER AND LEARN TO COMPREHEND. ALL EXISTS WITHIN YOU — THE CAPACITY FOR GOODNESS AND THE CAPACITY FOR EVIL. THE CHOICE IS ALWAYS YOURS. THERE ARE NO AGGRESSORS. ACTION IS A CHOICE OF THE WILL, AND GOOD WILL IS THE ESSENTIAL CHOICE OF THOSE WHO SEEK THE SPIRITUAL EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS.
