Victory Before War
Essence of Life
10/01/22 • 13 min
The best strategy of defense is to prevent the birth of an enemy. The mind of the citizens of every country must be educated to think and act in harmony with natural law. This is done by training the mind to contact the unified field of natural law at the basis of life itself. When the nation becomes inwardly coherent, the coherence itself will act as an armor to prevent any negative influences from penetrating inside. If a nation does not produce any destructive influences, then no enemies will be born.
