“When this is universally understood”
lol.
Was there no mechanism specified for forcing this universal understanding?
FFS, you can’t get universal understanding that water is wet.
There is no mechanism specified for forcing this universal understanding. Confirmation by science will promote these changes without any force at all.
Except science doesn’t “confirm” things. Nor does it disprove them.
Who confirmed Mendel's discovery, or Edison's for that matter? Just because this discovery doesn't involve objects does not mean it cannot be confirmed by those in authority (that have influence) who could be instrumental in not only passing this along but figuring out how to get this transition started. The author expressed how this could be done. Maybe there are better ways. This in itself doesn't change the fact that the core of this discovery is undeniable. I should not be snipping parts of the book, but I can see that no one will read anything too lengthy. Too much effort I guess when they don't know if it's a waste of time. If they knew it was an actual discovery, they would jump at the chance.
CHAPTER SIX: THE NEW ECONOMIC WORLD
When any agreement is made in the new world, the people who are a party to it are saying, “I am satisfied with this agreement and will never blame you should you violate it.” If you don’t want to become a citizen of this new world, don’t want to receive this guarantee, don’t want to agree never to blame, then you don’t have to sign this agreement and will continue living in your present environment. But should you sign this agreement, how is it possible for you to desire breaking it by not turning the other cheek when turning the other cheek offers greater satisfaction as this is the kind of punishment those who strike a first blow cannot tolerate. The truck driver wanted to be punished for doing what he knows was his responsibility because this would give him greater satisfaction. As was explained in Chapter Two, “The knowledge that there will be no consequences presents consequences that are still worse, making it impossible to consider this hurt as a preferable alternative.” However, in order for the new citizen not to be blamed by his government, and in order for his government not to be blamed by the governments of other nations, the political and military leaders of the world must become our first citizens. How is it possible for political leaders to stop blaming other political leaders and the people in their country unless the leaders have received the guarantee and signed the agreement? Therefore, the world leaders must take their examination first because it is only by the new citizen knowing he will never be blamed by the government or the laws of his country no matter what he does to hurt others that will prevent him from desiring to do that for which punishment came into existence, taking for granted, of course, that the other source of justification, being made to go below his standard of living, has already been removed. This will prevent the possibility of further wars because the very people who have the power to start one will be stopped by the guarantee which denies them any justification and by their realization that there will be no retaliation by those who must turn the other cheek for their satisfaction. When the time arrives for the leaders of the world to sign this agreement, which will be done simultaneously, they will be extremely happy and anxious for this new world to begin. But remember, ironically enough, under the changed conditions the leaders are prevented from hurting others not because there will be no retaliation, but primarily because they will get greater satisfaction in being a part of this fantastic new world.
Once the transition gets officially launched, that is, as soon as the leaders have become citizens by passing their examination it will be mathematically impossible for war to continue or begin again and the greatest transition in the history of mankind will be well on its way. Assuming that you fully understand what it means that man’s will is not free, the next step in our blueprint (our diagram of how it is now possible to remove all evil from our lives) is to remove from around the entire earth, regardless of who gets displaced, all those people who are in any way associated with blame including the leaders and their subordinates (remember, everything is exactly the same except for the written test and the IBM offices); politicians, governors, senators, all the way up to the President and his Cabinet. Everybody notwithstanding gets displaced if their manner of earning a living is the least bit redolent of blame. Is it humanly possible to believe that the solution to the problem of war and crime involves the end of all government or, to phrase it more appropriately since many aspects of government will continue to function, the end of all authority and control? If this is true (which is not yet proven), could the commander in chief find any satisfaction in being denied the privilege of making speeches as to what he is going to accomplish even though this denial results in the very thing all the speeches in the world could never bring about? Is it not true that if the President truly cares about ending all war, could he possibly desire to tell others what to do when it can be revealed in a mathematical manner that such authority would only result in the very war he is making efforts to prevent? If every member of the government who is engaged in telling others what is right and wrong should learn that the most harmonious relations imaginable will exist on earth the moment all government comes to an end, are these people given a choice if this is really what they want? Because this is a very crucial point it is imperative that you completely understand what is meant by the mathematical corollary, Thou Shall Not Blame, so I suggest that you reread the second chapter to fully understand why any person who judges what is right for another is absolutely wrong (as two plus two equals five is wrong) since it strikes the first blow and demonstrates how any judgment of another, before something is done, is an advance accusation which offers unconscious justification to do what is criticized by the standard imposed in the tacit blame. If you know that you can prevent the very thing you do not want by being a certain way, do you have a choice as to which direction you must go for greater satisfaction? The very first thing this book reveals in a mathematical manner is that no individual or group of individuals can ever again desire to govern another because it will be seen that not governing is truly better for themselves. For this reason, it is impossible for government to discover the solution when this entails the removal of all government. This does not mean that the politicians are responsible for what now exists, but their removal is necessary for the cure which will come about of their own free will. At that moment my friend interrupted...
“You can’t be serious. You don’t expect the government of the United States to discharge all her troops and leave the field to communism.”
“The sole purpose of disarming our defenses, as other countries can disarm theirs, is simply because, under the conditions just described, no country can find satisfaction in physically hurting those who refuse to hurt them in return for doing what must be considered a compulsion beyond control. But the people who are on the offensive know that this desire to hurt those who refuse to fight back is not beyond their control, and when they fully realize that their desire to strike a blow must be excused without the possibility of any justification, they are given no choice but to relinquish this desire to hurt others with the use of weapons.”
“Do you honestly believe that crime will cease when the police are removed? I think the crooks would have a ball.”
“You must bear in mind that you also thought removing blame and punishment would allow people to take advantage, but this is not true, so you must not jump to conclusions. We are working the problem backwards, and until other facts are revealed, certain things might appear ridiculous.
To render these evils impossibilities, it is
first necessary (this is only the beginning of the solution) to remove the forces that try to prevent war and crime through threats of retaliation, because this kind of effort unconsciously motivates and justifies the very things these forces are trying to prevent. Now how was it possible for government to ever find the solution when the very first step required the dismissal of all forms of government?”
“Say, is this supposed to satisfy our politicians? Do you expect them to calmly sit back while you take away their jobs?”
“Well let me show you that every person who gets displaced, regardless of who he is or what is his income, will be completely satisfied. I shall ask all our politicians a very serious question. ‘Gentlemen, would you have any objection to my removing every possibility of war and crime, which would render your services absolutely useless, provided the income you are now receiving would never decrease or stop as long as you live, although it could be increased?’ Well, I kind of surprised you with that question, didn’t I?”
“You sure did. You mean that every person who gets displaced will never have his income stopped or decreased no matter how much he is earning?”
“That isn’t all. I mean that every person who is employed at the time the transition gets under way, this includes all those who will be displaced, will be guaranteed their accustomed income for the rest of their lives, less taxes, of course. This not only includes the largest, but also the smallest incomes, such as those from unemployment compensation, welfare, and relief.”
“Be honest with me? Does this scheme have anything to do with socialism or communism?”
“Of course not, first because competition will still exist, and second because it is impossible to dictate to another what to do without blaming him for not doing it, which would be required under communism or socialism.”
“But how is it possible to guarantee a businessman that his income will never decrease when competition can very easily do the job?”
“At the moment let’s not be concerned with how I’m going to accomplish this, but with everyone’s reaction to my doing it. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful feeling to know that your income is secure, that it will never be stopped or decreased, only increased?”
“I’m satisfied, but I can think of plenty of people who would not be, like the insurance companies who make their living on the insecurity that exists, and the taxpayers whose jobs are secure without this security, but who might feel they will be overburdened with increased taxation.”
“But supposing the insurance companies, instead of making less money, make more than they ever dreamed possible; and supposing the taxpayers, instead of paying more, end up paying less, what would you say then, my fine feathered friend?”
“By the way, does this hold true for all other countries? Will they also be guaranteed their income never to stop or decrease just as long as each individual shall live?”
“Naturally. Aren’t we all God’s children?”
In spite of the fact that many people will not be happy about losing their profession, they will be forced to look for something else because their services will no longer be needed. Soon to be displaced are judges, juries, lawyers, the entire penal system, crime investigators, intelligence agencies, liability insurance, every kind of license granting permission to do something, all printed forms to check on your honesty, credit cards (all but the IBM), travelers checks, money orders, the banks as a place to safeguard money, and all tax adjusters. The unions will be displaced not only because they blame employers for not paying enough wages, but also because they try to prevent abuses to employees using force. Also displaced are all collection and credit investigating agencies. The first blames someone for not paying his bills and the second checks him in advance to see if he will. When a creditor tries to get his money by sending collection notices, he blames his debtors and gives them unconscious justification to shirk this responsibility. The debtors will be permitted to hurt their creditor if they want to, but they won’t want to under the changed conditions. Knowing in advance that the creditor will never ask them again for what they owe him since they know he will consider their not paying him back a compulsion over which they have no control — even though they know it is not beyond their control — they will be compelled, of their own free will, to desire paying back every penny since it gives them no satisfaction to be excused when every bit of justification has been removed. Personnel departments and employment agencies are displaced because they are employed to screen an applicant for a job, which shows a distrust of the applicant’s honesty and blames him for being dishonest about his qualifications. A great many employers do not want to hire certain types such as Jews, Hispanics, Blacks, etc., and the agency screens this aspect also. Whatever the reason, since blame is present in some form, these agencies get displaced. It is obvious that an employer is anxious to get the best possible employees for the jobs that are available, which is the reason he screens his applicants. However, this screening is a definite form of tacit blame which justifies any efforts to lie in order to get the position. But when an applicant knows that he is not going to be questioned as to his qualifications; when he knows that he will never be blamed regardless of how many mistakes he makes; that he will never be criticized or punished by being fired, he is given no choice but to forgo any job for which there is the slightest doubt in his mind that he may not be able to handle. Therefore, by removing this tacit blame every individual who seeks employment is compelled to prefer developing a skill so that he can apply for a job with the confidence that he will never hurt anyone due to his lack of ability.

For the very first time a person’s formal education cannot be used here as a standard to determine the validity of the knowledge being presented regardless of his position or rank, since every relation is absolutely undeniable. This book is an S.O.S. for those who have the capacity to perceive undeniable relations and can be objective in their analysis; otherwise, those in power will laugh at and criticize what they cannot understand. As soon as this discovery is confirmed valid by the world’s leading scientists, it will not take long before the Great Transition can begin.
During the transition more and more people will be displaced from their jobs. The manufacturers of war equipment will be out of work, as well as those who make burglar alarms, safes, vaults, armored cars, locks and keys. Even cash registers that are designed to check on the honesty of cashiers will no longer be needed. Also displaced in due time since nobody will be spending money in that direction are private and public eyes, floor walkers, security guards, and all licensing departments because they blame individuals for being unqualified by refusing to give them a license. We can continue to spend in this direction if we want to, just as a businessman can continue to hire floor walkers, but when everyone becomes citizens of the new world, how is it possible to want to when this serves no purpose, and the money could be used to improve our standard of living? However, the lawmakers will not be completely displaced because they will serve a useful purpose. They will have the job of analyzing every possibility of hurt that could occur, and make it known. Whereas before we were controlled by the fear of punishment which allowed those who thought they could beat the laws to attempt things without any regard to who got hurt, we are now prevented from desiring to disobey a law that is just because the fear of being excused for hurting others offers no satisfaction when all the principles are understood.
As these miraculous changes become a reality religion comes to an end along with evil because one was the complement of the other. Religion came into existence out of necessity, but when all evil declines and falls and God reveals Himself as the creator as well as the deliverer of all evil, it must also, out of necessity, come to an end. It is important to recognize that religion gets displaced only because mankind will no longer need its services since God, our Creator (this world is no accident), is answering our prayers. Of what value is having an institution that asks mankind to have faith in God, to have faith that one day God will reveal that He is a reality, when He does this by answering our prayers and delivering us from all evil? Is it possible for a minister to preach against sin when there is no further possibility of committing a sin? Is it possible to desire telling others what is right when it is mathematically impossible for them to do what is wrong? However, there is no mathematical standard as to what is right and wrong in human conduct except this hurting of others, and once this is removed, once it becomes impossible to desire hurting another human being, then there will be no need for all those schools, religious or otherwise, that have been teaching us how to cope with a hostile environment that will no longer be. In fact, since anyone who tells others how to live or what is wrong with their conduct blames them in advance for doing otherwise — which is a judgment of what is right for someone else — all sermonizing and the giving of unasked for advice are displaced. You see, this discovery draws a mathematical line of demarcation between hurt that is real and hurt that exists only in the imagination. The hurt of ridicule and criticism is real, but in the world of free will there existed many forms of hurt that justified ridicule and criticism. When the hurt that motivated this behavior is removed, then there can be no justification which means that any ridicule and criticism that exists thereafter strikes a first blow, but this is controlled by the realization that it will never be blamed or punished. Consequently, there is no further need to tell others what to do.
You may still desire going to church or synagogue, which is your business, but how is it possible to want to continue paying a religious organization when your money can be used to improve your standard of living? For the first time the members of a congregation realizing that God is everywhere, not just in churches and synagogues, and realizing further that all evil is coming to a permanent end, will prefer spending their money in a different direction. Religion will be reluctant to give up the pivotal role it has played for thousands of years, but how is it possible for these theologians to object to the very things they have been unsuccessfully trying to accomplish without revealing that they don’t want mankind to be delivered from all evil? This does not mean that religion has not served an important function in man’s development. We could not have reached this turning point had it not been for our religious institutions, but we are at last shedding the final stage of the rocket that has given mankind its thrust up to this point. The great humor and the very reason religion could never approve of this work, in spite of its purpose, is because it would be forced to relinquish what has always been a source of tremendous satisfaction There is something else that annoys religion because it expects the Messiah to look like Christ or some other historical figure, and that he will come to earth not through ordinary channels. Someone who would claim to have solved the problem of evil could easily be mistaken as a false prophet or even ethe antichrist. It may be difficult for the faithful to entertain the idea that the promised Messiah may not come in bodily form but rather as a divine law which has the power to prevent what manmade laws and institutions could never accomplish. To some, this suggestion may be viewed as an unpardonable offense because it appears blasphemous. It may be impossible for those who adhere to the literal translation of the Bible, or any other sacred text, to consider the possibility that peace might come through an unexpected source, although still in accordance with God’s will. Even if I had never made this discovery, it would come to light sooner or later because what is revealed is a definite part of the real world, not a figment of the imagination. Science will have to take the lead in affirming the accuracy of these principles before they can be applied worldwide.
