The very essence of life is not understood in this world. The approach to it is based on a misunderstanding; man's view of the whole of creation being erroneous. We do not intend to dwell on this point; very many pages would be necessary to go further into the issue and that would not be enough to bring man to his own reality, which is to be united to the Divine. Our objective here is to help him in that direction by the means at our disposal, even if they are not conventional.

"Humanity is living in a state of gross misinterpretation of what it is really. We will not remedy it; time has not come for light to be shed here below on this point. It is imperative for man to advance spiritually. More than ever he must seize the opportunity being offered to him to open up to true knowledge.

"Time is short; divine intentions will be achieved no matter what happens. A purified humanity would be placed in the best conditions if it facilitated them. The only objective of our Mission is to help it to that end. The evolution of this world is not a fanciful view. It is in the offing and it will take place. Even if it has to go through countless difficulties, that will succeed. Nothing can go against what must be, when it is planned for divinely.

"The commitment of our brothers contributes to this achievement. By working for themselves, they contribute to creating a state of mind that can benefit humanity as a whole. Nothing is lost in this world, especially anything that can foster its evolution, by serving as an outlet in the face of negative powers.

"May our way continue on its redemptive expansion; let all our brothers be blessed and strengthened."
