> |> 3. The third kind of people are those who see the danger, the
> |> corruption, the pollution, and the evil of terrorism and take
> |> conscious action to prevent its expansion, without pessimism
> |but with
> |> inflamed optimism. They see the situation clearly. They see the
> |> difficulties and obstacles on the path. They see the growing
> |power of
> |> evil; but they never lose their hope of victory over evil.
> |This third

> |> events going on upon Earth are watched by Higher Forces. They know
> |> that there exists higher resources of energy which, in unexpected
> |> times, come to the rescue.
