The effective decisions can only be made by the independently thinking and adequately informed human individuals and their telepathically intercommunicated wisdom–the wisdom of the majority of all such human individuals–qualifying for continuance in Universe as local cosmic problem-solvers–in love with the truth and in individually spontaneous self-commitment to absolute faith in the wisdom, integrity, and love of God, who seems to wish Earthian humans to survive.

Sourced, Critical Path (1981)

We are here as local information harvesters, local problem-solvers in support of the integrity of eternally regenerative Universe.

It seems to demonstrate that periods of industrial activity in technical syntheses of principles, data, free energy and energy as “matter,” find highest employment by the fear-amassed credits of warfare. Therefore the assumption approaches fact that war promotes the major technical advances of civilization… What has not been clear is that the potential of this emergency-born technology has always accrued to human’s prewar individual initiatives taken in a humble but irrepressible progression of assumptions, measurements, deductions, and codifications of pure science.

I am convinced that human continuance depends entirely upon: the intuitive wisdom of each and every individual… the individual’s integrity of speaking and acting only on the individual’s own within-self-intuited and reasoned initiative… the individual’s never joining action with others as motivated only by crowd-engendered-emotionalism, or a sense of the crowd’s power to overwhelm, or in fear of holding to the course indicated by one’s own intellectual convictions. - View Quote Details on I am convinced that human continuance depends entirely upon: the…
We are in an age that assumes the narrowing trends of specialization to be logical, natural, and desirable. Consequently, society expects all earnestly responsible communication to be crisply brief…. In the meantime, humanity has been deprived of comprehensive understanding. Specialization has bred feelings of isolation, futility, and confusion in individuals. It has also resulted in the individual’s leaving responsibility for thinking and social action to others. Specialization breeds biases that ultimately aggregate as international and ideological discord, which, in turn, leads to war. - View Quote Details on We are in an age that assumes the narrowing trends…
I never try to tell anybody else what to do, number one. And number two, I think that’s what the individual is all about. Each one of us has something to contribute. This really depends on each one doing their own thinking, but not following any kind of rule that I can give out, any command.
