At the present, we can take the opportunity of our civilized communication systems to broadcast what we know to each other, in order to profit each other, in order to elevate our earth’s mental consciousness to a higher level of understanding and in order to make our earth into a heaven. We don’t need to immigrate to another planet or to Nirvana if we make our world become a paradise.

We will do it: maybe in the future when all of the Earthians’ consciousness is uplifted and civilized, when we all think in a broader sense and on broader scale, when we think of the whole galaxy or the whole universe, when we expand our consciousness, understanding and intelligence instead of thinking of only of our house, our country or our village. Then, we will be ready for this kind of intergalactic communication; then we will learn more, we will grow faster and we will have more and more comfort in life. We will have everything we want, and we can share everything we have and share everything other planets have with us, to better our life and to build a better world for our children. This will come! But we must train ourselves in this way of broad-thinking. This is the way of a gentleman.
