Dear Newsletter Reader,

“No change” is what you hear wherever you go. We live in a world that denies the possibility of the deep change we humans need in order to meet the crises that threaten to tear apart our societies.

Many religious institutions will tell you that humans have no right to know, that we can only have opinions, and that only God can truly know. This dictum is the equivalent of damnation to a life in hell for humanity.

We need knowledge, and we need it quickly. Why do children need to suffer so greatly in Pakistan? Almost no humans understand the reason for the flooding in Pakistan. The call for aid in Pakistan goes mostly unheeded at this point. Few people in the West are truly interested in what is happening in a far place when this far place can do nothing to fill to their pocket book.

There is a small group of men with whom I often share views about current events in the world. Common to all of them is that they have spent a lot of time living in other countries and have been involved in some way in the events that have shaped the world to be what it is today. Most of them are retired, and all are what we would call “well-situated.” A number of them have shocked me in the last days by telling me that they do not intend to spend many more years on our planet. These same men have told me that they cannot stand life as it is because of the increasing misery on planet.

I am very sure that these few men are representative of a much larger group of human beings who truly do grasp the predicament of humanity at this point and do not want to live anymore, because they see no future. To me, this attitude is new. I have known Black youngsters in American ghettos who had no desire to live because they saw no future. But, men who have really made it in life, who have had all of the advantages life can give them, who are admired by others and have good lives and families? That is very hard to accept.

It is not true that deep change is not possible. Change is possible. But, we humans cannot do it ourselves. To expect that humans can enact deep change alone is a great illusion. We need the help of very powerful and knowledgeable cosmic beings for the rejuvenation we need as a species at this point.

I have access to such beings. They work with me. You may wish to meet them in my seminars, particularly in the seminar on rejuvenation on the Rigi in September.

It is time to enter the flow of life, not to turn from it.
