My name is Ararura Quaren.<br />
I asked my mother if I could write the last chapter of this book. She had become somewhat depressed as<br />
the process came near its conclusion. Her intense effort to transmit our story through Alexander had made the<br />
lives and sacrifices of our ancestors come to ripe life in her soul. They had all gone through so much and had<br />
helped our Worlds reach an enduring peace. When she had communicated with Alexander about the last chapter<br />
you've read, all the conversations she'd had with him came back to her and she wished she could visit your World<br />
and talk directly to everyone, convey the truth of what it takes for a culture to lift itself <strong>from</strong> degradation and<br />
greed and war to a smoothly functioning culture that gives every citizen their due.<br />
I feel my mother and Alexander have given any honest person more than enough information to start<br />
them on the trail of discovery that carries them to the heights of thought and feeling which engender peace in<br />
their heart. Once that happens, they feel a magnetic attraction to other souls. They attain the awareness of the<br />
Oneness of All.<br />
Consider what happened in the history of my Worlds. Consider what is happening in your World that is<br />
similar.<br />
We had one World that had perfected the art of religious superstition and another that had capitalized on<br />
the power of corporate structure.<br />
Your World has had the history of a series of religions, each pure in its infancy, each attaining worldly<br />
strength as it grew, each letting go of the inspiration of its Prophet-Founder and allowing its clergy to pervert the<br />
healing benefit of its moral power, to close itself off <strong>from</strong> productive consultation with the members of other<br />
religions, even going so far as to unceasingly harass and, in some cases, murder the Prophet-Founder of the<br />
following religion.<br />
If there was one thing our Aklan Faith has taught <strong>An</strong>gians, it's the unity of all Faiths, the never-ending<br />
appearance of enlightened prophets who all say the same thing. Each speaking to people at a different level of<br />
social evolution—each crafting their message to the needs of a succeeding Age—each agreeing with all the others.<br />
Please make an effort on Earth to follow the example of these remarkable Individuals. If you have<br />
absolutely no idea how to begin such a quest, I feel your best bet is to find a Bahá'í.<br />
Your World experimented with many methods of dealing with the necessities of your physical existence.<br />
At a certain point in this process the concept of a corporation took hold. It's now strangling your World. It's now<br />
become the cause of most of your wars. It has even co-opted the concept of religion and enlisted various sects in<br />
its plans of conquest of the human soul.<br />
Just as with the religions of your World, the corporations began as a remedy—a means of supplying the<br />
physical needs of your peoples. Sadly, the same corruption your religions have suffered has infected your<br />
corporations.<br />
My ancestors have taught me that life can only be lived successfully if the needs of the spirit, as well as<br />
the body, are satisfied.<br />
If you're looking for physical sustenance, be sure the providers have your best interests in mind when<br />
they create what you consume.<br />
If you're looking for emotional sustenance, be sure the feelings involved are deep-rooted and sincere.<br />
If your looking for mental sustenance, be sure the teacher is broad-minded and dedicated to constantly<br />
refreshing their perspective on their field of study.<br />
If your looking for spiritual sustenance, be sure the religion or group or movement is not an imitation. Be<br />
sure the people are motivated by the same pure exploration of truth that an honest scientist employs when<br />
delving into the mysteries of Nature.
