I Would Like To Mention Some Preparations That Were Required Of Me. The First Preparation Is To Take A Right Attitude Toward Life. This Means, Stop Being An Escapist! Stop Being A Surface Liver Who Stays Right In The Froth Of The Surface. There Are Millions Of These People, And They Never Find Anything Really Worthwhile. Be Willing To Face Life Squarely And Get Down Beneath The Surface Of Life Where The Verities And Realities Are To Be Found. That's What We Are Doing Here Now.

The Only Footwear I Need Is An Inexpensive Pair Of Blue Sneakers. They Have Soft Fabric Tops And Soft Rubber-like Soles. I Get Them One Size Too Large So I Can Wiggle My Toes. I Feel As Free As Though I Were Barefoot! And I Can Usually Get 1,500 Miles To A Pair. I Wear A Pair Of Navy Blue Socks.there's A Reason Why I Chose Navy Blue For My Wearing Apparel-it's A Very Practical Color, Doesn't Show Dirt, And The Color Blue Does Represent Peace And Spirituality.

It Concerns Me When I See A Small Child Watching The Hero Shoot The Villain On Television. It Is Teaching The Small Child To Believe That Shooting People Is Heroic. The Hero Just Did It And It Was Effective. It Was Acceptable And The Hero Was Well Thought Of Afterward. If Enough Of Us Find Inner Peace To Affect The Institution Of Television, The Little Child Will See The Hero Transform The Villain And Bring Him To A Good Life. He'll See The Hero Do Something Significant To Serve Fellow Human Beings. So Little Children Will Get The Idea That If You Want To Be A Hero You Must Help People.

The Darkness That We See In Our World Today Is Due To The Disintegration Of Things Out Of Harmony With God's Laws. The Basic Conflict Is Not Between Nations, It Is Between Two Opposing Beliefs. The First Is That Evil Can Be Overcome By More Evil, That The End Justifies The Means. This Belief Is Very Prevalent In Our World Today. It Is The War Way.
