19 ~ Loftiness
My name is Ararura Quaren.
I asked my mother if I could write the last chapter of this book. She had become somewhat
depressed as the process came near its conclusion. Her intense effort to transmit our story
through Alexander had made the lives and sacrifices of our ancestors come to ripe life in her soul.
They had all gone through so much and had helped our Worlds reach an enduring peace. When
she had communicated with Alexander about the last chapter you've read, all the conversations
she'd had with him came back to her and she wished she could visit your World and talk directly
to everyone, convey the truth of what it takes for a culture to lift itself from degradation and greed
and war to a smoothly functioning culture that gives every citizen their due.
I feel my mother and Alexander have given any honest person more than enough information to
start them on the trail of discovery that carries them to the heights of thought and feeling which
engenders peace in their heart. Once that happens, they feel a magnetic attraction to other souls.
They attain the awareness of the Oneness of All.
Consider what happened in the history of my Worlds. Consider what is happening in your
World that is similar.
We had one World that had perfected the art of religious superstition and another that had
capitalized on the power of corporate structure.
Your World has had the history of a series of religions, each pure in its infancy, each attaining
worldly strength as it grew, each letting go of the inspiration of its Prophet-Founder and allowing
its clergy to pervert the healing benefit of its moral power, to close itself off from productive
consultation with the members of other religions, even going so far as to unceasingly harass and,
in some cases, murder the Prophet-Founder of the following religion.
If there was one thing our Aklan Faith has taught Angians, it's the unity of all Faiths, the neverending
appearance of enlightened Prophets who all say the same thing. Each speaking to people
at a different level of social evolution—each crafting their message to the needs of a succeeding
Age—each agreeing with all the others.
Please make an effort on Earth to follow the example of these remarkable Individuals. If you
have absolutely no idea how to begin such a quest, I feel your best bet is to find a Bahá'í.
Your World experimented with many methods of dealing with the necessities of your physical
existence. At a certain point in this process the concept of a corporation took hold. And, though
corporate structure, in and of itself, is neither good nor bad, it seems many of your corporations
are using that structure to further purely materialistic aims. This can only strangle your World.
This use of corporate power can become the cause of wars. It can even co-opt the concept of
religion and enlist various sects in its plans of material conquest, ignoring the requirements of the
human soul.
Just as with the religions of your World, the corporations began as a remedy—a means of
supplying the physical needs of your peoples. Sadly, the same corruption some of your religions
have suffered has infected many of your corporations.
My ancestors have taught me that life can only be lived successfully if the needs of the spirit, as
well as the body, are satisfied.
If you're looking for physical sustenance, be sure the providers have your best interests in mind
