THOUGHTS ON THE FUTURE
“And we are told that there again will come a time, thousands of years hence, at the end of the seventh root race on our earth globe, when the seventh race will be at the zenith of her civilization and glory, when the three-fifths of our present humanity will be self-redeemed and when there will be no war but perfect peace and harmony prevailing upon the earth, when there will be no war but perfect peace and harmony prevailing upon the earth, when there will be again but one universal religion, one divine wisdom, one supreme knowledge, one metaphysical thought. For then the majority of men will again be priests unto themselves.”
