roots of depression -10-

Then...

when the twenty-five children grow up...

each one should be sent out - with limited financial help - into the world to earn ten thousand dollars each. By using concentration, super-charged with Divine training, and the super-methods of the Divine, learned in this ideal colony.

-

Then these children...

grown into fully-developed men and women...

should marry ideal mates, educated in Divine Spiritual communities.

These twenty-five couples should then build other communities...

such as their parents built.

-

The question now comes...

"What would happen to the $250,000 - after all of the original 25 families die?"

The answer is that it should be used by other groups of 25 couples to build other such colonies.

-

Each spiritual colony...

should take the VOW of

- plain living and high thinking
- the brotherhood of man
- fellowship of all religions
- renunciation of luxury
- joint ownership of lands, transportation, education, food, and money
- and they should eat and dress in the community way
- but spiritually, each soul in the community must be unencumbered
- so that he may develop and advance as deeply as he can.

-

If people would follow the above rules...

then God’s world would be harmonious.

Climates would be better, and from everywhere pestilence, famine, and disease would flee, for then all the nations would be as one, co-operating in international laws of transportation, food, education, and religion.

Forsake luxury, selfishness, and greed for money.

And lead lives of security.

Free from worries.
