project, and was well acquainted with
the problems of educating the mountain
people. 1 have mentioned before of my
visits with the King of Thailand, and
Ambassador College's participation in
the King's program for the education of
his mountain people. So here we had an
interest in common.
It
is, indeed, a small
world!
1 asked Mr. Narasimhan about the
India-Pakistan crisis. He saw no hope
of smoothing the situation over quickly.
He felt certain it would get worse before
it got better.
It did!
The war broke out two days later!
The issues involved, he said, were very
complex and complicated, and made
more so because both countries insisted
on misrepresenting the issues. This gives
an indication of why we have no peace
in the world. As long as individuals
and governments are selfishly motivated,
elCh trying tO GET - to TAKE - to
HAVE, without concern for the welfare
or
evils inflicted on others, there can
be no peace.
Why
No World Peace?
This great worldwide Work, of which
The
PLAIN TRUTH is a part, is working
for WORLD PEACE. How? lt's simple.
Everything is a matter of
cartJe
and
effect.
If
we are to have PEACE, we must
first find the WAY that will CAUSE peace.
We are constantly educating sorne 150
million people scattered throughout all
nations all over the world about the
CAUSE of peace. It is the WAY of out–
going concern for the good and welfare
of others, equal to our self-concern.
Whether individual, or nation. Until
the selfish motive is given up, and the
way of outgoing concern put to living
practice, there can be no peace.
My visit to the two important offices
at the United Nations only magnified in
my mind the CAUSES of all the world's
ills. People, and nations, seem unable to
recognize the TRUE VALUES, and con–
tinue
to
pursue the false.
A nation or an individual desires to
have what another possesses. He finds
a way to take it. This causes friction,
retaliation. He pays the price of friction,
or even war. He pays the price of losing
PEACE.
It's too big a price!
It's a bad bargain. It's not practica!.
If
each had outgoing concern for the
welfare of the other - equal to self–
concern - both could profit without the
costliness and waste and destruction and
LOSSES through war.
The way of OUTGOING CONCERN is
the CAUSE of Peace.
And what is outgoing concern? lt is
the definition of LOVE.
Until we
t7trn
off
HATE, and
lttrn
on
LOVE, we're paying entirely too much
for what little we have!

"As 1 looked over a few articles in the
recent is.sue, November 1971, the one on
'Mysticism and the Occult' shocked me
because of the utter lack of true infor–
mation expressed here. To rate or class
true mystic-occult Science with the filth
and wickedness of black witchcraft and the
rest of the sbocking darkness occurring
today is sacrilegious to say the least."
