This book, as I stated in the beginning prologue, is dedicated to peace! It is my hope that through this work mankind can better learn to get along with one another through the combined teachings of God’s Holy Manifestations, that have been coming to mankind, for the sole purpose of educating mankind, to a better way of life and spirituality; since the very beginning of man’s existence on this planet…. 

As we can clearly see from the teachings of Jesus Christ, in Christianity, when Christ tells us:

  the cross-25pix Luke 1:70 “He (God) spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, which have been since the world began:” (The Holy Bible).

And as The Apostle Paul further states:

the cross-5pix Acts3:21 “God hath spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.”

And of-course, The Old Testament tells us:

Jewish symbols-13pix Isaiah40:21 “Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?”

For:

Jewish symbols star-8pix Ezra 6:38 “I said, O Lord, Thou spakest from the beginning of the creation,” “by the mouth of His holy prophets.”

And Muhammad further tells to us, in Islam, that:

Islamic symbol-10 pix 3. “Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects” “None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar; knowest thou not that Allah hath power over all things? Knowest thou not that to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And besides Him ye have neither patron nor helper.” (The Qur’an (Yusuf Ali tr), Surahs 2 and 39)

For:

Islamic symbol-5pix 6. “We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma’il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord; we make no difference (or distinction) between one and another of them, and we bow to Allah (God).”7. “It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus), before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the Criterion (standard) (of judgment between right and wrong).” (The Qur’an (Yusuf Ali tr), Surahs 2 and 3)

And Zoroaster, in The Zoroastrian religion, of-course, tell us that:

Zoroastrian symbol-12pix 3. “We worship the former religions of the world devoted to Righteousness which were instituted at the creation; the holy religions of the Creator Ahura Mazda (God), the resplendent and glorious.” 2.If by reason of these things the better path is not in sight for choosing, then will I come to you all, as judge of the parties twain whom Ahura Mazda knoweth, that we may live according to the Right.” (Zoroaster, The Zend-Avesta, Avesta – Yasnas 16 and 31)

Because:

Ahura Mazda symbol-8pix “The busy world is apt to forget the most important lesson of life, so The Merciful Mazda sends prophets now and then to remind men of their highest destiny.” (ZOROASTER, Hymns of Atharvan)

Mean while Krishna tells us, in the Hindu religion, that:

 Hindu symbol-10pix “I come, and go, and come. When Righteousness Declines, O Bharata! when Wickedness Is strong, I rise, from age to age, and take Visible shape, and move a man with men, Succouring the good, thrusting the evil back, And setting Virtue on her seat again.” (Hindu, Bhagavad Gita (Edwin Arnold tr) chapter 4)

So Krishna therefore states to us:

Hindu symbol 5-pix As I before have been, so will I be again for thee; with lightened heart behold! Once more I am thy Krishna, the form thou knew’st of old! (Hindu, Bhagavad Gita (Edwin Arnold tr) chapter 9)

And Buddha, in Buddhism, further tells us:

Buddhist wheel symbol-10 pix “I am not the first Buddha who came upon earth, nor shall I be the last. In due time another Buddha will arise…. He shall reveal to you the same eternal truths which I have taught you. He will preach to you His religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at the climax and glorious at the goal, in the spirit and in the letter.” [Sermon of the Great Passing.]  

Dharma wheel Buddhist symbols-5pix All the Buddhas of the past, present and future, are of one sameness!” “there were many other Buddhas.” ((Buddha, Lankavatara Sutra and Diamond Sutra)

And so Adam, the reported father of all of mankind, further asserts to us, in the Sabean/Sabian religion, that:

 Mandaean symbol-15pixThou wast in existence before all.” “In the name of The Life (Haiyi/God)! I worship The First Life (God). Thou art immeasurable, infinite and (for) ever.” “Arise, worship and praise The Great Life (God) and praise His Counter-part, that is the image of The Life (His messenger here on this earth).” “I worship and praise that channel of light, The messenger of all rays-of-light.” (The manifestation of God on this earth) (Sabeanism, Ginza Rba- chapters 35, 75, 114 thru 116)

So, Adam further tells us:

Mandaean symbol1 “In the Name of The Great Life. Vines shone in the water, and in the Jordan mighty they grew. Ye are flourishing offshoots. Messengers hither I bring you.” “Establishing Your likeness and giving us light, Let your radiance shine upon us.” (Sabeanism, Ginza Rba- chapters 177 and 382)

Therefore, The Bab continues with the teaching that:

The shrine-17pix “I am God; no God is there but Me. I have called into being all the created things, I have raised up divine Messengers in the past and have sent down Books unto Them.” (The Bab, Selections from the Writings of the Bab, p. 100)

And so therefore:

The shrine10 pixHe (God) doth exercise undisputed authority over His revelations unto all mankind.” “Thus is divine revelation inaugurated in each Dispensation at Our behest. We are truly the supreme Ruler. Indeed no religion shall We ever inaugurate unless it be renewed in the days to come. This is a promise We solemnly have made. Verily We are supreme over all things…” “Thy Lord hath never raised up a prophet in the past who failed to summon the people to His Lord, and today is truly similar to the times of old, were ye to ponder over the verses revealed by God.”(The Bab, Selections from the Writings of the Bab, pp. 33, 158 and 160)

 And so Baha’u’llah, in The Baha’i Faith, tells us:

 the greatest name-12pixThe greatest bounties of God in this phenomenal world, are His Manifestations (messengers). This is the greatest postulate. These Manifestations are the Suns of Reality. For it is through the Manifestation that the reality, becomes known and established for man.” “From the beginning which has no beginning, to the end which has no end, a perfect manifestation always exists.” “The great ones are from all time, in their glorious station, their reality is luminous from the beginning, the reality that causes the qualities of God to appear, but the day of their manifestation is the day when they proclaim themselves of this earth.” (The Baha’i Faith, Abdu’l-Baha, Foundations of World Unity, p. 53 and Divine Philosophy, p. 52 Baha’i World Faith, p. 310)

And so:

the greatest name 8 pixHis creation no end hath overtaken, and it hath ever existed from the ‘Beginning that hath no beginning;’ and the Manifestations of His Beauty no beginning hath beheld, and they will continue to the End that knoweth no end.” (Bahá’í Faith, Baha’u’llah, The Kitab-i-Iqan, p. 167)

So you can clearly see now, it is my true I hope; from all of these statements and teachings; from all of these, many Holy Messengers and Manifestations of God; that God has, in-fact, been teaching and educating, all of humanity and mankind, to a better way of life and spirituality, through all of His Holy, Divine Teachers and religions, from the very beginning of man’s existence on this planet

So:

It is my true, true wish and desire, that all of humanity can learn, through the words of  all of these Holy Messengers and Manifestations from God, to be more at peace with one another, through the study of these various religious teachings God has sent to all of mankind throughout the ages; and that mankind can further understand the causes of these many human problems, that lead him to such terrible discord and overpowering, destructiveness towards his fellow human brothers and sisters. I dream that, one day, mankind can become one human family; thriving through the power of God’s kind, watchful guidance; living in a world of lasting peace!!! I dream that the world of mankind may finally come to terms with all of these terrible, debilitating, hindrances that have, for millennia, held mankind captive in the grasp of sightless ignorance, heedless of the divine medicine, revealed by God, that can liberate mankind out of these bonds of blind imitation; of the blind always leading the blind, down the path of destruction and ultimate failure; and open up the doors to true human progress; on the true road to the actual, elimination of all blind, biased thinking, on the part of all men and women; and finally lead all of mankind, to true oneness; blessed upon the tree of the unity of all of humanity.

For:

 the greatest name-12pixYe are all leaves of one tree and the fruits of one branch.’ By this it is meant that the world of humanity is like a tree, the nations or peoples are the different limbs or branches of that tree and the individual human creatures are as the fruits and blossoms thereof. In this way His Holiness Bahá’u’lláh expressed the oneness of humankind.” (Bahá’í Faith, Abdu’l-Baha, Baha’i World Faith – Abdu’l-Baha Section, p. 246)

The road leading to true, universal peace, is a road that has been less traveled, by mankind; though it has been the dream of, and thought about, by many, for countless ages. Human greed, that uncontrolled desire by some people to accumulate more wealth than they truly need, has played a large role, in all of this human debauchery and human misery, throughout the ages; which, oddly enough, seems to be the result of the actions of relatively few people, when one considers all the great multitudes of human casualties, and anguish suffered by the masses, that are the results of all of this uncontrolled, avariciousness on the part of so very few. It just seems that the masses of humanity would say “we’ve had enough,” it’s time for some restraint, on the actions of some of these people, and it’s time we, as the human race, actually sought freedom from conflict and avarice; and we, as in, the entire human race had real actual peace in the world for a change! Now please understand me, this is not a call on the multitude to take up arms and to resist the few!!! That is just more conflict, not peace; and peace, is what is actually sought by the majority of humankind. There actually needs to be a way, for man to start this process of creating peace and wellbeing for all of humanity; a way of starting the process of creating peace and wellbeing for all of the people, and all of humanity, that does not involve more hostility, on the part of men; because, I tell you, if war and fighting are involved, that’s not peace, no matter, by what name you may call it by!!! There has to be a way, for the masses of humanity to gain back control over their panic, stricken lives, that does not involve more hostility, bloodshed, mayhem, and killing, on the part of mankind; and this I really, truly believe, involves  our  real actual knowledge and understanding of one another; and that starts with the acknowledgement that we are all God’s, beloved children; which therefore makes us all spiritual brothers and sisters, in the eyes of our Heavenly Father; which again leads us back to the understanding of the unity of the true religions of God, and the oneness of all of His children, all of mankind, into one human family; which in fact again, leads us back to the pages of this manuscript; which can help us to understand that, all the religions of God are one, and that God has been, in fact, teaching all of His children; so we are all special in His sight, and he wants all of us to work together, and live together, as one human family; and claim our true heritage, of truly being, a truly united human family, united together, in peace and wellbeing; which is what He has tried to create for us, in the first place, if we would only realize that His good intentions, are for all of mankind, and not just a chosen few who think they are better than the rest of us, because they are the only chosen ones of God!

So:

The process leading to world peace, I believe, is a process of steps or realizations and understandings: The first step, leading to peace throughout this world, is admitting that we have a true problem with one another, when it comes to communicating with one another; which, much of the time, leads to  more hostility and aggression on our parts. We can never live in a world of lasting peace if we fail in our first steps of learning how to honestly, truly communicate with one another, without some secret hidden agenda, motivating us down the paths of personal gain and advantage, which again, much of the time, leads to more hostility and aggression; when one person or nation, takes advantage of another. The second step, leading to true lasting peace, throughout the world, is deciding that we are going to, actually do something about this problem, by personally taking action, on our very own parts, to help change this situation we find ourselves living in, by learning from our past mistakes, (the things not to do), and then doing things differently, from those people before us, who failed in their approach; because they held onto deeply ingrained habits, too long, and failed to truly live by the new teachings given to them by the prophets, while failing to wholly accept the new answers to these problems, by failing to, truly work together with one another, to bring about the universal changes needed. Oh sure, there were slight glimpses and shimmers of light when one group of people, here or there held onto the word, and lived by it for a few centuries, before darkness took hold on mankind once again; and darkness enveloped the light of truth again. But, these were differing groups of people; some small, some large, but never all of the people working together for the same ultimate goal of unity and peace and security for all of mankind. The third step, leading towards true lasting peace throughout the whole world, is for mankind,  as a whole, taking the step of accepting our very real responsibility, towards one another, as a race; as the one whole human race; so that our children, and our children’s children etc… can grow up in a world of lasting peace and security; where people are actually concerned about one another, and care for one another, and actually try to help one another; so that all of our children, can live and grow up in security; so we can all raise our families in  peace and security; and this is where I think the combined teachings and understandings of God’s Holy Manifestations, and an education, into the true essential unity God’s plan holds for all mankind, can help lead to that essential security, so badly needed by mankind. Until this is obtained no one can truly live in true actual peace. The feelings of security, is a must for all of the people, if true lasting peace is to be attained. Mankind must realize, in his heart, that we are all truly one human family and take actions to help one another as a good, kind family would, in-fact do; to help raise the standards of humanity, to a higher plane of existence; if we, as in all of humanity, are ever going to obtain a true lasting peace throughout the whole world of mankind:

Baha’i Faiththe greatest name-12pix “Equality and Brotherhood must be established among all members of mankind. This is according to Justice. The general rights of mankind must be guarded and preserved. All men must be treated equally. This is inherent in the very nature of humanity.” (Baha’I Faith, Abdu’l-Baha, Abdu’l-Baha in London, p. 28)

the greatest name 8 pix“The principle or teaching of Bahá’u’lláh is the proclamation of the oneness of the world of humanity — that all are servants of (The One) God, and belong to one family; (that) God has created all and, therefore, His bestowals are universal; and that His providence, training, sustenance and loving-kindness surround all mankind.” Therefore he tells us: “Ye are all leaves of one tree and the fruits of one branch.” By this it is meant that the world of humanity is like a tree, the nations or peoples are the different limbs or branches of that tree and the individual human creatures are as the fruits and blossoms thereof. In this way His Holiness Bahá’u’lláh expressed the oneness (and unity) of (all)humankind.” (Bahá’í Faith, Abdu’l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 106 and Baha’i World Faith – Abdu’l-Baha Section, p. 246)

JUDAISMJewish symbols-13pix Malachi2:10 “Have we not all one Father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?”

ZOROASERISM: Zoroastrian symbol-12pix “No one should make a distinction between himself and another person, all men should be treated as equals. No one should claim for himself an exception.” “For if God is the one Father of all men then all men are equal.” (ZOROASTER, Hymns of Atharvan pp. 550 and 634) (See Appendix B. for more information)

Ahura Mazda symbol-8pix “Love attracts, while fear repels. Thus love is the principle of unity, unity with God and unity with men.” “When men love and help one another to the best of their power they derive the greatest pleasure from loving their fellowmen.” “The religion of the Gatha is the religion of love, and Mazda is the friend of men.” (ZOROASTER, Hymns of Atharvan p. 500, 507 and Denkard)

HINDUISM Hindu symbol-10pix “The world is overcome- aye! even here! By such as fix their faith on Unity. The sinless Brahma dwells in Unity, And they in Brahma.” (Hindu, Bhagavad Gita (Edwin Arnold tr) chapter 5)

 Hindu symbol 5-pix “Be united,’ with four (verses) he unites them together; the metres are four, Agni’s dear body is the metres; verily with his dear body he puts them in order. ‘Be united, he says;” (Hindu, Vedas, Yajur Veda – Kanda V)

BUDDHISM Buddhist wheel symbol-10 pix “The primary cause of pure unity of enlightenment that has existed from the beginning of time is compassion, purity, harmony, likeness, permanency and peace.” (Buddha, Surangama Sutra)

SABEANISM  Mandaean symbol-15pix “May the gate of sin be barred to them and the gate of light be open for them. May they be knit together in the communion of Life in which there is no separation.” (Sabeanism, Ginza Rba- chapter 34)

So then, all I can really say here is that:

If man, as a whole, had ever really, truly studied the writings of God, found within these various religious books for themselves, then we would already have peace in the world; because God’s true religions, all teach us to live in peace and to love one another; not this blind, biased hatred we see in much of the world today. But than, a great number of men, throughout human history, have only read the passages that suited them to believe in, to justify their own selfish plans and desires, and have ignored the rest. We also find far too many people, who just sit and listen to sermons, telling them what they should believe in, again, without ever really, truly investigating the words of God for themselves, to know and understand what God truly wants them to know; even though the ones teaching them may actually be just, justifying hatred and aggression, because it suits their own personal twisted interests, and has nothing really to do with the true actual teachings of God’s Holy Manifestations. As for many of these other people: they just blindly read over the passages not really seeing the words for themselves, but blindly accepting that what they have been told the passages are supposed to mean, as the absolute truth; and they don’t truly investigating the passages with an open inquiring mind, to see the real truth of God’s Holy Words for themselves; because the true writings of God, actually do, teach of love and peace: Islamic symbol-10 pix Islam You should be a source of comfort, love and respect.” Islamic symbol-5pix 7. “Let there be peace and tranquility for all the creatures of Allah (God).” Islamic symbol-5pix “enter not into conflict,” (Ali b.

The education of self and the education of mankind!!! Mankind needs to have education, and to be educated, as a whole, if humanity is ever going to have a cure for all of this stubborn, pigheaded misery, that seems to be the lot and reality of the men of today. We seem to be fighting and scratching among ourselves, like little children playing in a sand box, who are just not getting along together. And what is more, what we are fighting over, is even more silly and senseless: the greatest name-14pixAfter all, a claim and title to territory or native land is but a claim and attachment to the dust of earth. We live upon this earth for a few days and then rest beneath it forever. So it is our graveyard eternally. Shall man fight for the tomb which devours him, for his eternal sepulcher? What ignorance could be greater than this? To fight over his grave, to kill another for his grave! What heedlessness! What a delusion!the greatest name 8 pix“For after all, the earth is but the everlasting graveyard, the vast, universal cemetery of all mankind. Yet men fight to possess this graveyard, waging war and battle, killing each other. What ignorance!” (Abdu’l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, pp. 355 and 396) the greatest name-12pixReligion should unite all hearts and cause wars and disputes to vanish from the face of the earth. (True religion should) give birth to spirituality, and bring life and light to each heart. If religion becomes a cause of dislike, hatred and division, it (is) better to be without it; and to withdraw from such a religion would be a truly religious act. For it is clear that the purpose of a remedy is to cure; but if the remedy should only aggravate the complaint it had better be left alone. Any religion which is not a cause of love and unity, IS NO RELIGION!!! All the holy prophets were as doctors to the soul; they gave prescriptions for the healing of mankind; thus any remedy that causes disease does not come from The Great and Supreme Physician.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 130) Because, that religion has long since lost most, if not all of the spiritual influences of God, The Creator; and is now mostly under the control of the dogma and the theology of man’s creation and influence:

For Jesus tells us:

the cross-25pix Matthew 15:8 “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.” 15:9 “In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men, (and not God).” (King James Bible,)

“And he said unto them:”

the cross-5pix Mark 7:7 “In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” the cross-5pix 7:8 “Laying aside the commandments of God, ye hold the traditions of men,” and 7:9, “Full well ye reject the commandments of God, that ye may keep your own traditions (and doctrines).” the cross-5pix 7:13 “Making the word of God of none effect through your traditions, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.” (King James Bible)

Because:

the greatest name-12pixThe beginnings of all great religions were pure; but priests, taking possession of the minds of the people, filled them with dogmas and superstitions, so that religion (God’s true teachings) became gradually corrupt.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Abdu’l-Baha in London, p. 125)

So then:

If religious belief and doctrine is at variance with reason, it proceeds from the limited mind of man and not from God; therefore, it is unworthy of belief and not deserving of attention; the heart finds no rest in it, and real faith is impossible. How can man believe that which he knows to be opposed to reason? Is this possible? Can the heart accept that which reason denies? Reason is the first faculty of man, and the religion of God is in harmony with it!” (Abdu’l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 231) If anyone actually meets a real Bahá’í, they will soon learn, that most Bahá’ís do, in-fact, believe in, and follow reason; and that which is reasonable. Bahá’ís tend to use and observe reason and practicality, when it comes to religion and the teachings and writings of God; and is that really, such a bad thing? Bahá’ís tend to believe, that God, as the creator, of absolutely, everything in existence, is extremely knowledgeable and intelligent. Therefore, if God is in-fact really, actually, extremely knowledgeable and intelligent, it only stands to reason, that He also uses reason, and does things that are reasonable, in an intelligent, reasonable way. So it only stands to reason, that God has actually used reason and intelligence when He created existence; and it also stands to complete intelligence and reason that God also, actually used, more intelligence and reason, when He sent His message to mankind through His divine teachers, manifestations, messengers and prophets. So, in-fact, the messages and writings and teachings of our Creator, should actually make sense and stand up to the examination of reason and intelligent thought, on their own, when examined, by an intelligent person; because these writings and teachings, were actually sent to us from Someone Who is actually, extremely knowledgeable, reasonable and intelligent. Anyway, this is just a thought, why don’t you think about it for a while; I have and did, before I researched and wrote all of this.

Anyway Abdul’ Baha, the son of Baha’u’llah the prophet founder of the Bahá’í Faith, again tells us:

the greatest name-12pix(Baha’u’llah teaches us that), “religion must be the source of fellowship, the cause of unity and the nearness of God to man. If it rouses hatred and strife it is evident that absence of religion is preferable and an irreligious man better than one who professes it. According to the divine will and intention religion should be the cause of love and agreement, a bond to unify all mankind for it is a message of peace and good-will to man from God.” “Religion must be the cause of unity, harmony and agreement among mankind. If it be the cause of discord and hostility, if it leads to separation and creates conflict, the absence of religion would be preferable in the world.” For, “Divine religion is not a cause for discord and disagreement.” So again, “if religion becomes the source of antagonism and strife, the absence of religion is to be preferred. Religion is meant to be the quickening life of the body politic; if it be the cause of death to humanity, its nonexistence would be a blessing and benefit to man. Therefore, in this day the divine teachings must be sought, for they are the remedies for the present conditions of the world of humanity. The purpose of a remedy is to heal and cure. If it be productive of worse symptoms, its absence or discontinuance is preferable.” (Bahá’í Faith, Abdu’l-Baha, Baha’i World Faith – Abdu’l-Baha Section, pp. 239, 246 and The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 117

But then: 

We already have the cure for all of this senseless, foolishness and violence, on the part of humanity, we just need to, as I stated earlier, turn back to the writings of God’s religions, once more, and realize that all of these religions come to us, from The One same God, by whatever name, of the untold number of names, He goes by; and realize we that have a peace loving father in heaven that wants peace for all of us. We have an actual framework leading to peace; it is hinted at in all of the writings of God’s religions, as I demonstrated just a few paragraphs ago; and it’s not just peace from war and misery that the religions of God agree upon. The religions of God also agree on many, many other teachings and suggestions that can lead to peaceful, security and coexistence amongst all the races of mankind, as a whole. We just need to study the teachings of God, again, for our very own selves, or in groups of individuals who actually do want peace and security for themselves and for their children; people who actually strive after the unity of mankind, as a whole; people who will actually investigate God’s Holy Word, for themselves, and actually seek out the real truth, hidden within God’s Holy Words, with open and enquiring minds, unhindered from the doctrines, and traditions, and superstitions that are current beliefs amongst most of mankind, and the true causes of such misery and mistrust and bloodshed amongst mankind:

For I repeat again:

Religion must be the cause of amity, union and harmony among men. They (the religions of God) establish the equality of both sexes and propound economic principles which are for the happiness of individuals. They diffuse universal education, that every soul may as much as possible have a share of knowledge. They abrogate and nullify religious, racial, political, patriotic and economic prejudices and the like. Those teachings that are scattered throughout the Epistles and Tablets are the cause of the illumination and the life of the world of humanity. Whoever promulgateth them will verily be assisted by the Kingdom of God.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha, p. 109) This work, as I see it; is a partial guide, a starting point, if you may; for all of those people who are actually looking for the similarities of mankind; who actually want to know, what other men, do in-fact believe in; and not just leaving people to dwell on, and be completely overwhelmed, by all the preconceived differences, in belief and culture, of the many other races and nationalities, on this earth; and whatever other hindrances there may be to the peace and security, and the over-all wellbeing of the human race, as a whole. And with all of this in mind: It is my mission, as an actual, caring, human being, as a fellow traveler on this tiny, little spaceship, traveling through the cosmos, we call earth, to make this world a better place to live on; where men and women, where blacks and whites, or people of red and yellow hues, or any other race or nationality, and any other menace to humanity that would divide us, and destroy our true actual peace and serenity; leaving us vulnerable and open to hostility and biased hatred, on the part of irresponsible deviants, who would take away our security, just to fulfill some personal form of greed and self-glorification or self-importance; disrupting the true peace and security of the rest of mankind; because people actually need to live in peace and security; and they can actually do this, through the unity of the various writings of God, which actually teaches us this truth. We just need to utilize what we have already been given, and we can do this again, by studying works, like this one, that help to open the door to investigating the beliefs of our fellow human brothers and sisters, as well as, truly investigating the religions and cultures of the other races of mankind on this globe for ourselves. It is my intention to help educate mankind through works like this one and others I have written like it, as well as, using other forms of media to help get this message across to the people living on this earth, as a whole. It is my desire to have this manuscript eventually published into a book form, for those people who just don’t use a computer or have access to the internet, and that takes money. I also need to take care of this website a nd the others that are soon to be coming online; and keep them all up to date and running, and that again, also takes money. I also intend to use television and the radio, as well as, written teaching works, as well as, anything else we can think of; all around the world; to get the message of oneness and unity of the human race across to the people of the world; and guess what, that also takes money; and by now you’ve probably already guessed it; this is money that I just don’t have. I’ve spent twenty five years or so, more or less, researching and writing this book and many books like it, that are soon to becoming. I’ve lived on disability and did without many things, that most people take for granted; the amenities of life; example, water and heat, being able to shave etc… just so this work could come to light. This is my way of giving back to the world and mankind; and giving back to God, for taking care of me, and giving me the actual ability and capability and understanding to do these works; but there is still a lot of work that actually needs to be done. And, to do this, I am going to need resources; lots and lots of resources; because I am actually trying to reach out to the whole world and communicate with all of mankind. It does little good to just reach out to only those people that are only convenient and easily reached. If you want to make an actual positive difference in the world, you are actually going to have to reach out to the whole world, and not just talk about it. You have to get the materials to them to help them, and it needs to be in their own actual languages, of-course; and then you, or someone else, will eventually actually need to actually go there and arrange things and set things up for the people. So I find myself coming to you with a plea: If you just want to read and study this work for yourself, without any entanglements, or feelings of obligation, just do it, it’s God’s property, and I don’t really, actually lay claim it more than what work I have done to it. The quotations are not from me, they are not mine, these quotations are from God’s holy prophets and messengers; I just took the time and searched them out over the decades, and tried to help make some sense out of all of this; with further comments and explanations; and if push comes to shove; I’m quite sure that He would prefer that you study these writings for yourself, just so you will know it. But if you would like to help me in my quest and mission to help bring peace and unity to this war torn earth of ours, I could really use the help. I have created a charity called Universal Concord which can be found at www.universalconcord.com to help with the enormous costs of this enormous undertaking, which I and some good people I now call friends, who are currently volunteering their time and expertise to this project, because, as I already told you, I am very broke and have very little resourses; but these people see the actual need for this project to come to fruition. These are good people and there are many more like them who have helped me along the way, and I would truly, still eventually like to see them compensate for all of their time and work; because I may be on disability, because I actually did die in an automobile accident that wasn’t my fault, and had a head injury, because of this; but I am actually doing my very best, to give back to the world; and I believe this entire work of five thousand or so pages here on this web site, and all of my years of research and writing on this work, will actually attest to the fact, that my actual intentions of actually trying to do something to help all of mankind, as a whole, and help to make this world of ours a much better place for all of us to live in, for ourselves and for our children, for future generations to come. I am trying to do my part, here in this life, to help make this world a better place; so I am asking for your help to help me make this world of ours into a better place for us to live in, and as I said earlier, you can go to my charity web site www.universalconcord.com for more information on this project. Anyway it’s up to you; all I can really say in this matter is do what your heart tells you to do; that’s what I do. I find that trusting in the feelings of the heart is a very good way of dealing with God, and other spiritual matters. So if you feel inclined to help make a real difference in this world of ours; if you feel inclined help us to help save mankind from himself, we could really use the help and support!!!

Thank you, sincerely:
