YES!
There
Is
a
NATIONALEMERGENCY!
Y
ES! WE are now deep in much
more than an economic emergency!
We're in a social emergency-a
moral emergency- an international
emergency- a military life-and-death
emergency! The weapons of mass
destruction, for the first time since mankind
inhabited this planet, can erase humanity
from the earth!
But we're too occupied taking confident pride
in awesome 20th-century achievements in
science, technology, business and industry to
notice our
REAL ANO IMMINENT DANGER!
We've had our minds on what we think of as
20th-century "PROGRESS"! l t seems that the human
mind is virtually limitless in what it can accomplish!
We assume confident and smug complacency in such
mind-boggling feats as sending men to the moon and
back safely, receiving unmanned spacecraft close-up
photos of Jupiter, Saturo and the Martian su rface,
such technological productions as the computer! And
even full-color television and modero telephonic
advances would astonish those who died in the 19th
century.
But, just when we pat ourselves on our baclcs, and
think we're pretty good and far «advanced"–
WHAM!! An astronaut returns safely from a moon
voyage and finds he is helpless to handle his family
problems. His home and family breaks up in divorce!
We are
helpless
befare our troubles and the myriad
evi ls that confront mankind.
Our marriage, home and family structure, on
which a stable and permanent society is based, has
broken down. People can't get along with people,
factions with factions, nations with nations.
WHY? Our successes are physical and material,
but our t roubles and evils are in the spiritual realm.
Even in the physical and material area it takes
time, patience and perseverance. A motorcar
company loses millíons call ing back certain models to
April 1981
correct a mechanícal fault. Yet, we do make
:::ontínual progress, in the physical and material areas,
that is. So we think we are pretty good! These
materialistic achievements do boost our vaunted
morale! But we like to ignore causes of spíritual
problems.
l ' ve been hammering away on the fact there is a
CAUSE for every effect- and humanity has tended to
deal with effects instead of correcting causes in
trouble areas! 1 repeat again and again- THERE ISA
SPI RITUAL LA
w
that governs the problems, troubles
and evils we've been unable to solve. We smugly
prefer to ignore it in our confident vanity. Yet it's
inexorable- as relentless and as certain as the law of
gravity. Break it, and it breaks you.
That spi ritual law is the principle-the
motivation- the attitude of outflowing LOVE. It is
outflowing concero for the good and welfare of
others. 1 símplify it by the term "GJVE" and its
transgressíon as "GET." This materialistic world has
been traveli ng the way of
"GET"~self-centeredness,
covetousness, envy and jealousy, competition, strife,
violence and war, resentment of authority.
The invisible law of "orvE" is cooperating,
helping, serving, sharing. l f we would alllive wíth
that incentive our troubles and evils would vanish.
But this civilization will not! Where does that leave
us? Our evils and woes are accelerating. We are
speeding on a collision course with human
annihilation!
But thank God! Before such final crash, that
all-powerful, aii-"GIVE" "Strong Hand from
Someplace" is going to intervene in this world's
affairs, and save a rebellious humanity from itself!
All humanity shall be compelled to enjoy peace,
happiness, universa) abundance in well-being!
Science, industry, human government will not achieve
this.
It
will have to
be
done
to
us! Of course, that means
that at last mortal eyes shall be opened to the TRUE
VALUES-and
live
the spiritual way of "GIVE"! Humanity
shall learn, at last, that it
is
"more blessed to GIVE than
to receive"! Indeed, sorne of us are learning it already!
