From the point of view of today's way of living, the changes that will have to be made in the current system can appear undesirable to us, because the majority of us, living in an era of rampant consumerism, indoctrinated by the current educational system, by television and commercials is, although on various levels, hedonistic. Will we be able to get rid ourselves of the current concept of the world? Will humanity listen to a program that involves a reduction in the accumulation egocentric comforts? (43:1) If we won't do it, we will encounter grave suffering because disunity is the symbol of degradation and unity is the alternative to self-destruction. [44] What we will need to do will become more and more evident as little by little we succeed in ridding ourselves of the mechanistic concept of the world and only when we put aside forever the old ways of thinking and behaving, and entered into the new unity concept of the world, will we be ready to continue our path and to renew our culture. (43:2) On the other hand, human sciences such as anthropology, physiology, psychology recognize the existence of one human species, though infinitely diversified in the secondary aspects of existence [45]. (43:3) The first and fundamental prerequisite in order to reorganize and administer the world as one country is the acceptance of the unity human kind. And because universal consensus on such a spiritual principle is indispensable for the success of any effort proclaimed to the entire world, it must be taught in schools and constantly sustained in every nation, in preparation for that organic change in the social structures that are implied it.
(43:4)
