408555The Hundredth Monkey — 9. You Know The Immensity Of The DangersKen Keyes, Jr.

YOU NOW KNOW THE IMMENSITY OF THE DANGERS, THE FUTILITY OF "SAFETY" MEASURES, AND THE NEED FOR ACTION RIGHT NOW USING THE POWER OF OUR NEW AWARENESS.

[edit]

The Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon points out our responsibility and our power.

It is up to every one of us to change the myths that say we have to depend on nuclear energy for power and defense.

We can no longer believe that the safeguards are adequate — or that we are helpless to change the national policies of the governments of our world.

We will replace the myths with knowledge.

Our persistence will relentlessly channel our positive thoughts toward peace and a harmonizing world.

And that starts right here—in my heart and yours—right now!

In this short book I can only give you a glimpse of the miracle of life you can experience . . . .

This rapture of life is your birthright to create and enjoy.

This book can only hope to inspire you to take the next steps in your own development — for your sake and the survival of our species.

This is the most pressing problem we face today.

Everything else in our civilization is of secondary significance.

It is worthy of your full attention as an intelligent, caring, wise and wonderful person.

We can begin to lose the game of life when we play nuclear war games.

Like children our egos and minds create the illusion that the ideas in our heads and our desires for "marbles" are more important than feelings of human togetherness in our hearts.

We cannot afford to play such enthusiastic games with loaded nuclear pistols any more!

THE MARBLES JUST AREN'T WORTH IT!
