Dear Inner Family of Co-Workers:
I am able, now, to disclose to you privately and
confidentially the almost unbelievable manner in which giant doors
have been opening before me. As you know, one after another, the
doors have opened for personal meetings with presidents, kings,
prime ministers -- and many other high government officials, in
many countries, around the world.
As I wrote you a month ago, all of a sudden this great Work
has been catapulted onto a new and higher plateau! It has been
moved into a TOTALLY NEW PHASE -- the last and final phase of the
Work for this age!
So many high-level personal conferences could not have opened
to one in private life, in so short a time, by mere happenstance.
I could not have planned them and brought them about if I had
tried! As I now disclose these astonishing circumstances, I think
you will see the providential guiding Hand maneuvering them!
As I mentioned in my previous letter a month ago, the Work of
necessity had to begin by reaching the grassroots -- the masses of
the common people -- the RULED. We now are reaching more than 150
MILLION of them. Think of it! -- that is about one in every 23 of
all the people on earth, or one in every 16 persons above age 14.
But we have reached the point where it has now become
necessary that we reach ALSO the RULERS -- those in the very top
echelons of POWER in the world. Because, whether we have realized
it or not, this Work is the GREATEST, MOST EFFECTIVE activity on
earth for WORLD PEACE!
Actually this new phase in the Work began about three years
ago.
Here is "Coincidence" #1: The wife of our office manager at
Bonn, West Germany, happened to show a copy of the 1966 Ambassador
College year book -- "The ENVOY" -- to an industrialist friend in
Brussels. He was much impressed by the book, and the high
character of Ambassador students, reflected in their photographs
and action shots. This industrialist happened to be a personal
friend of King Leopold of Belgium. He asked if he might show the
ENVOY to the King. The King was quite impressed, and said he would
like to meet the founder and Chancellor of this unique
