FRUITS OF CIVILISATION "Western civilisation is slowly but surely being broken up because of the refusal of the peoples of Europe to release their sub-conscious fears and hates.
The westerni civilisation of Europe failed to serve its purpose. It has brought fear, distrust and misery to the world. It has not found and re- moved the causes of disease, disaster, Insanity and lack of happiness.
"Intellect has failed to save the world. It is a covering to express emotion. The emotion of love is the only salvation for the world. You cannot-nor will you ever-find this emotion of love in Europe and the emor parts of the world contaminated by the complexes of Europe. That is why civilisation will move westward across the Atlantic, and across tho American continent, to the Pacific. The shores of the Pacific are destined to become the new centre of civilisa- tion for the world."
