Scientists of today claim that the Earth's neighborhood of nearby planets is rather slummy. Of course, they
still like to think that the planet Earth is the center of the Universe: here the Creator placed his greatest
creation, Man! The other worlds are "slummy", created only for man's amusement and entertainment.
They are dreaming (and what dreams!) of a satellite space station that will dominate the world. Every two
hours it would circle the Earth, and as the Earth turns below it, every part of its surface would come into view.
This station would be useful for launching atom-armed guided missiles. Once a great supply of such missiles
had been put on the station, potential aggressors below would be forced to keep the global peace. However, it
doesn't seem likely that the first government placing a space station in our skies will be working for "global
peace". It will control the entire world for its own benefit. Besides, "peace is not for the strong"; we will never
have peace through "force".
The space station would have little military value, say some scientists like Dr. Milton Rosen of the Naval
Research Laboratory in Washington, D. C. Equipping it to make observations would be exceedingly difficult,
and any missiles it might drop would be lucky to hit the right country. Space travel will have to wait until the
scientists have made some basic discovery equal in novelty to Faraday's discovery of electro-magnetism. They
say a beam of high speed particles pushed at close to the so-called speed of light by nuclear energy might do
the trick. No one yet has the foggiest idea about how to do it. Men like Dr. Rosen realize what is necessary
before space travel is a reality on Earth. "A basic discovery equal in novelty to Faraday's discovery of
electro-magnetism" would be the utilization of the Fourth Great Primary Force, or the RMF. The Earth is
under what we might call a "Divine Quarantine". A rocket or nuclear driven space ship will go from the Earth
to the Moon, but it will never go through the cleavage layer of the Earth's Resonating Electro-Magnetic Field.
This cleavage layer is called "chinvat" in Oahspe. It divides the Earth's rotating field (which contains the
Earth and the Moon) from the ether, or outer spaces. We will not be able to leave the RMF of the Earth until
we have discovered the secret of magnetic propulsion, and we aren't going to discover that until we accept
higher metaphysical principles. In other words, man on Earth simply can't go to other worlds until he
advances spiritually--his own ignorance of the eternal verities has him "quarantined".
Dr. Wehrner von Braun, Germany's rocket expert in World War II, says: "What the United States needs is a
daring, inspiring program (probably the same thing he told Hitler) that has a real chance of controlling the
world. Atom bombs carried by air-planes are nearly worn out as war preventers. Guided missiles are
important weapons, but the Russians are working on them too. A satellite station would put the U. S. far ahead
in the race for power. Even a small satellite could be made to shine at dusk. It could inflate a plastic balloon
which would gleam as brightly in the sunlight as a first-magnitude star. This 'American Star', rising in the
west, should make a powerful impression on the peoples of Asia. A special commission should be set up to
study the whole matter, of course. The public will not be told the decision of such a commission. To announce
even its yes or no would reveal the summation of many military secrets. If the decision is yes, the first news
for the public may be an 'American Star', rising in the west and sweeping swiftly across the sky."
This happened before when the first news the American public had regarding Atomic Bombs was after the
first one had been exploded over Japan, ushering in the "Atomic Age" that was born in New Mexico. The
people were not consulted on this matter, either. There was a chance that a chain reaction might have been set
off and the entire world destroyed. The chance was a slim one, but nevertheless, a definite chance. Should so
much power and authority to decide these grave matters rest in the hands of a few? Who is making these
decisions? Are the same "black magicians" who destroyed other great civilizations back in life today? Are
they the "mad scientists" of our time?
Men steeped in militarism, dedicated to war and its results, are the men who control atomic power! Few
military men can be "Doves of Peace" when their very occupation depends on war. Without war there is no
longer any need for the military, the manufacturer of ammunition, tanks, weapons, guided missiles, aircraft,
etc. War certainly is not the joy of grieving mothers, widowed wives, or orphaned children. Every nation on
Earth is controlled by men who are lovers of themselves only, full of vanity and pride, seekers of material
