As Knowledge Doubles, So DoTroubles.
Why?
P
OVERTY, ILLITERACY,
crime are
growing- not diminishing. World
troubles and evils have escalated.
Weapons of mass destruction exist
by which
MAN CAN BLAST MANKIND FROM
OFF THIS EARTH!
The whole world today
stands on the brink of human extinction .
But
WHY?
There has to be a CAUSE for every effect. While
humanity has been supposing we have been
ADVANCING-IMPROVING-we've been bringing
more and more evils upon ourselves-more and more
suffering and agony on PEOPLE!
The whole world went along on a fairly even keel,
with little agricultura!, mechanical and industrial
progress for almost 5,500 years. Transportation was
by foot, mule, camel back, rowboat or sailboat.
Communication was by written letter carried the
same way.
Then, just over 500 years ago, the printing press
witb movable type was invented. About 300 short years
ago carne the first beginnings of modern science. This
advancement of modern science and technology is so
recent that 90 percent of all the world's scientists WHO
EVER
u
vEo are alive today! In the brief span of my
lifetime, this world has passed with lightning speed
past the age of invention, the machine age, the major
developments in science and technology, the nuclear
age and the space age!
The world thinks of it as wonderful
PROGRESS-ADVANCEMENT! The world 's fund of
KNOWLEDGE doubled in the decade of the '60s, and
again in the '70s- but in each decade the world' s
troubles and evils doubled also!
WHY?
Even if the increased knowledge did not
CAUSE the increased evils, neither did it solve the
world's problems or rid the world of evils!
What the world does not know, and refuses to
learn , is that peace, happiness, contentment, joy,
abundant and universal well-being are
spiritual
values- the
ONLY
TRUE VALUES
IN
LIFE.

There is a SPJ RITUAL
LA
W-a law of outflowing
LOVE- the way of life of helping, serving,
cooperating, sharing. I simplify it by calling it the
way of "give." Its transgression is the way of
"GET"-of vanity, coveting, envy and jealousy,
hostile competition, strife, violence.
That basic spiritual LAW is as ACTIVELY in motion
as the law of gravity- as inexorable, as relentless, as
certain! l ts punishment for transgression is the
suffering and anguish humanity is suffering
now- for every trouble, every evil, has been caused
by the way of "GET." We measu re SUCCESS in life
by the amount one has been able to "GET"-to
accumulate-to TAKE from others- to HAVE and
POSSESS!
The way of life of "GIVE" is the basic spiritual LA
w
set in motion by our Maker. But our first parents
spurned it and turned to "GET." Yet that way of "GET"
is the CAUSE of all of mankind's troubles.
Jf we all lived the way of outflowing
LOVE-toward our Maker and toward each other, in
helping, serving, sharing, GIYING!-we would have
world UTOPIA! There can never be SALVATION,
peace, contentment, happiness, joy, universal
well-being and eterna! salvation from trouble and
evils until we TURN FROM the pbilosophy of
"GET"- repent of that way-turn to our Maker and
bis way of outflowing love. Yet 6,000 years have
PROVED MANKIND SIMPL
Y
WON'T!
And so now, just before MAN utterly DESTROYS
mankind, that "Unseen Strong Hand from
Someplace" is going to intervene dynamically in
human world affairs and save mankind from itself! 1
am merely a voice crying out in the spiritual
wilderness of this 20th century, calling on people to
repent of their false ways and turn to the God who
gives us the breath we breathe, and saying, whether
you believe it or not, that " Strong Hand" will
intervene to prevent man from utterly destroying
mankind and usher in a world living the way of
outflowing LOVE- a soon-coming world of PEACE,
contentment, joy, and eterna! salvation offered to
ALL!
