Thought Adjuster: “If every [[human being]] would decide to not be a threat or the [[cause]] of [[suffering]] to his or her [[siblings]], all [[conflicts]] in [[this world]] would disappear. It is so sad and sometimes so incomprehensible how the solution to [[peace]] in your world is so [[simple]] and yet so apparently [[complicated]] that after thousands of years you still have not managed to overcome your [[differences]].
“This is why [[the Master]] often suggested [[abandoning]] even the instinct of [[self-preservation]]. [[Animals]] as well as human beings naturally try to [[defend]] themselves when attacked. Thanks to their more advanced [[brains]] and their capacity to [[predict]] future situations, human beings can [[anticipate]] an attack and defend themselves before it happens. This is the situation in which all your nations on the verge of [[conflict]] are found today. They fear a [[surprise]] attack from their enemies so they arm themselves and threaten their neighbors.
“It would take great [[courage]] to decide that regardless of what your [[neighbors]] do, you would not do anything to harm them. Which country leader would dare take the initiative and let other countries explore their rights to master atomic energy? Who would dare help their neighbors achieve economic [[independence]] and international [[equality]]? Wouldn’t this be a better way to promote [[friendship]] and [[trust]] among nations? When human beings join and work [[together]] for a comon goal they learn to know each other and naturally establish links of [[affection]] and [[friendship]].
“The leaders of the present do not [[dare]] take these decisions because they are [[afraid]]. They fear to appear weak in the eyes of their supporters. Above all, those who [[control]] the masses are afraid of seeing their unfair [[advantages]] vanish. But the resources of this world belong to all, not to a small group of privileged ones.
“Stop considering your [[siblings]] who come from a different culture or who have [[different]] [[beliefs]] to be your [[enemies]] just because others tell you so. You are all brothers and sisters, children of the same celestial Father. Don’t be afraid of each other. Help each other and work for the [[goals]] of [[eternal]] [[value]] that will be the [[foundation]] of a better world — a world of peace never before known on this planet — for your children.”
