That is my message from the Universal Mother ; and
not to you only, Boys and Girls of the Britannic Isles,
but to all the Boys and Girls anywhere, and to all the
mature who are taking care of our Boys and Girls and our
Children.
You will find a Revolution wrapped up in this plain-
looking and evidently true statement as to the manner of
life for which great Nature intended you.
You will see that what is good and right for you must
be good and right for all. You will therefore refuse to
use your power—and property of all kinds is power
to compel others to live in the dark, in the dusk and in the
shade, while you live in the Light, in the Air, out on the
beautiful unpolluted Earth.
If you understand, you will seek the earliest oppor-
tunity of withdrawing yourselves from all complicity in
the great exploitation of Man by Man now engirdling the
whole Earth, which by a euphemism is called Civilisation.
