<strong>CHAPTER</strong> 7 139<br />
Scientists of today claim that the Earth's neighborhood of nearby planets is rather slummy. Of course, they<br />
still like to think that the planet Earth is the center of the Universe: here the Creator placed his greatest<br />
creation, Man! The other worlds are "slummy", created only for man's amusement and entertainment.<br />
They are dreaming (and what dreams!) of a satellite space station that will dominate the world. Every two<br />
hours it would circle the Earth, and as the Earth turns below it, every part of its surface would come into view.<br />
This station would be useful for launching atom-armed guided missiles. Once a great supply of such missiles<br />
had been put on the station, potential aggressors below would be forced to keep the global peace. However, it<br />
doesn't seem likely that the first government placing a space station in our skies will be working for "global<br />
peace". It will control the entire world for its own benefit. Besides, "peace is not for the strong"; we will never<br />
have peace through "force".<br />
The space station would have little military value, say some scientists like Dr. Milton Rosen of the Naval<br />
Research Laboratory in Washington, D. C. Equipping it to make observations would be exceedingly difficult,<br />
and any missiles it might drop would be lucky to hit the right country. Space travel will have to wait until the<br />
scientists have made some basic discovery equal in novelty to Faraday's discovery of electro-magnetism. They<br />
say a beam of high speed particles pushed at close to the so-called speed of light by nuclear energy might do<br />
the trick. No one yet has the foggiest idea about how to do it. Men like Dr. Rosen realize what is necessary<br />
before space travel is a reality on Earth. "A basic discovery equal in novelty to Faraday's discovery of<br />
electro-magnetism" would be the utilization of the Fourth Great Primary Force, or the RMF. The Earth is<br />
under what we might call a "Divine Quarantine". A rocket or nuclear driven space ship will go from the Earth<br />
to the Moon, but it will never go through the cleavage layer of the Earth's Resonating Electro-Magnetic Field.<br />
This cleavage layer is called "chinvat" in Oahspe. It divides the Earth's rotating field (which contains the<br />
Earth and the Moon) from the ether, or outer spaces. We will not be able to leave the RMF of the Earth until<br />
we have discovered the secret of magnetic propulsion, and we aren't going to discover that until we accept<br />
higher metaphysical principles. In other words, man on Earth simply can't go to other worlds until he<br />
advances spiritually--his own ignorance of the eternal verities has him "quarantined".<br />
Dr. Wehrner von Braun, Germany's rocket expert in World War II, says: "What the United States needs is a<br />
daring, inspiring program (probably the same thing he told Hitler) that has a real chance of controlling the<br />
world. Atom bombs carried by air-planes are nearly worn out as war preventers. Guided missiles are<br />
important weapons, but the Russians are working on them too. A satellite station would put the U. S. far ahead<br />
in the race for power. Even a small satellite could be made to shine at dusk. It could inflate a plastic balloon<br />
which would gleam as brightly in the sunlight as a first-magnitude star. This 'American Star', rising in the<br />
west, should make a powerful impression on the peoples of Asia. A special commission should be set up to<br />
study the whole matter, of course. The public will not be told the decision of such a commission. To announce<br />
even its yes or no would reveal the summation of many military secrets. If the decision is yes, the first news<br />
for the public may be an 'American Star', rising in the west and sweeping swiftly across the sky."<br />
This happened before when the first news the American public had regarding Atomic Bombs was after the<br />
first one had been exploded over Japan, ushering in the "Atomic Age" that was born in New Mexico. The<br />
people were not consulted on this matter, either. There was a chance that a chain reaction might have been set<br />
off and the entire world destroyed. The chance was a slim one, but nevertheless, a definite chance. Should so<br />
much power and authority to decide these grave matters rest in the hands of a few? Who is making these<br />
decisions? Are the same "black magicians" who destroyed other great civilizations back in life today? Are<br />
they the "mad scientists" of our time?<br />
Men steeped in militarism, dedicated to war and its results, are the men who control atomic power! Few<br />
military men can be "Doves of Peace" when their very occupation depends on war. Without war there is no<br />
longer any need for the military, the manufacturer of ammunition, tanks, weapons, guided missiles, aircraft,<br />
etc. War certainly is not the joy of grieving mothers, widowed wives, or orphaned children. Every nation on<br />
Earth is controlled by men who are lovers of themselves only, full of vanity and pride, seekers of material
