You will note in the conclusion of MY Attributes that every atom, fibre and cell of MY Bodily Form, is Well and Healthy and so forth. When humanity ceases to disperse atoms with hate and greed and abominable divisions of men, and gets MY Nature, MY Mind and MY Spirit then they will have rightful control of the atom....'And they shall beat their swords into plowshares...'...we represent a real Democracy in action..."
