The age-old dream of the human caravan is not to send astronauts in their orbit in outer space.. it is to send its individuals - every single individual in his orbit of self-realization. It is high time that this dream be thus reinterpreted. It is also the sacred duty of every man and woman to help intelligently reorientate human endeavour towards the culmination of this pilgrimage.

Creation of Beauty

We herald a new world, and call for the path of its realization, claiming that we practically know that path. Such a new world is inhabited by free men and free women, whose chests are healed from rage, grudge, and envy and whose minds are cleared of absurdity and superstitions. Hence, in all countries around the globe, they are fraternal, peaceful, and loving to one another. They commit themselves to the creation of beauty in themselves and onto things around them and by that they become the masters of this planet. It is through them that life evolves and refines levels over levels until it becomes like an elegant garden that blossom every day to offer new flowers and fresh fruits.
