1. "It must be recognized that the cause of all world unrest, of The World Wars which have wrecked Humanity, and the widespread misery upon our planet can largely be attributed to a selfish group with materialistic purposes who have for centuries exploited the masses and used the labor of Mankind for their selfish ends. This group of capitalists (The Dark Brotherhood incarnate) has cornered and exploited the world's resources and the staples required for civilized living. They have been able to do this because they have owned and controlled the world's wealth through their interlocking directorates and have retained it in their hands."
"They have made possible the vast differences existing between the very rich and the very poor. They love money and the power which money gives. They have stood behind governments and politicians. They have controlled the electorate. They have made possible the narrow nationalistic aims of selfish politics. They have financed the world businesses and controlled oil, coal, power, light, and transportation. They control publicly or sub rosa the world's banking accounts."
"The responsibility for the widespread misery to be found today in every country in the world lies predominantly at the door of certain major inter-related groups of businessmen, bankers, executives of international cartels, monopolies, trusts, and organizations, and directors of huge corporations who work for corporate or personal gain."
2. "Death, through the destructive processes of war, is under the directive and cyclic intention of The Planetary Logos (Higher Self of Sanat Kumara), working through The Council Chamber of Shamballa. The Beings Who there direct world processes know that a time has come when the relation between Planetary Evil (The Forces of Darkness) and The Forces of Light or of Good have reached a point of 'explosive antagonism' as it is called. This must be given free rein if the divine purpose is to work out unarrested. The explosion is therefore permitted. Nevertheless, all the time a controlling factor is present, even though unrealized by Man."
"Because these Beings are in no way identified with form life, They have consequently a just appreciation of the relative importance of life in form. The destruction of forms is to Them not death in the sense that we understand it but simply and solely a process of liberation. It is the limited vision of those identified with form which has so consistently nurtured the fear of death."
"The basis of all wars is fundamentally the sense of separateness (The Cosmic Principle of Disunity). This fundamental individualism or pleased recognition of isolationism leads to all the secondary causes of war: greed, producing economic disaster; hatred, producing national and international friction; cruelty, producing pain and death."
3. "There has been a far greater spiritual significance to The War (1914-1945) than has yet been realized. It marked a world turning point. It reoriented Humanity towards the good. It drove back The Forces of Evil and made definitely clear the true distinction between good and evil, practically and obviously. The world of men, through the obviousness of the distinction between good and evil, has awakened to the fact of materialistic exploitation, to the lack of real freedom, and to the rights of the individual. Man's ability to resist slavery has become apparent everywhere."
4. "War can be and is mass murder where the motive is wrong. It can be sacrifice and right action where the motive is right. The slaying of a man in the act of killing the defenseless is not regarded as murder. The principle remains the same whether it is killing an individual who is murdering or fighting a nation which is warring on the defenseless."
