It has never been our hope that the prophecies for disaster should be fulfilled, but rather that people—freed from the clutter that fills their minds—would see the truth for themselves and would therefore look to the real cause and source for these difficulties and remedy the situation at the root and core of the problem, which we have always believed is a spiritual problem needing a spiritual solution. Most people really, quite frankly, have no concept even as to whether or not life has a purpose. Without a purpose, life would have no value and be meaningless. This fundamental lack of understanding in the real purpose and true value of human life, it will be found, is the real Cause that leads to all the multiple and diverse problems inflicting the world at this time.
