Two important sources of statistical data

“Regarding attitudes about the use of force in Donetsk and Lugansk, amazingly both the Kiev region and Western Ukraine said not enough force was used. Also amazingly, 39% or more of the respondents in the center of the country, the south of the country, and the East, (not including Donbass), felt the same way. And when asked how to resolve the situation in the east of Ukraine, the majority in West Ukraine and in the Kiev region believe more military action is needed.”

Amazing, in view of their important casualties. And this means that the neonazi dreams (more massacres, more wars) are supported by the population !? Not good for Ukraine, not good for Donbass.

Unless the Soviet Union and its people not only desire freedom, but also desire a search for the soul… because what will you do with freedom? Freedom for what? There are two kinds of freedom: freedom from and freedom for. Freedom from is not much of a freedom. The real freedom is the second freedom — freedom for spiritual growth, freedom for inner search, freedom for knowing the secrets and the mysteries of life.
If Gorbachev can introduce the Soviet Union to Gautam Buddha, to Mahavira, to Zarathustra, to Lao Tzu… why be so confined to Karl Marx? Why be so poor? Why not make the whole sky yours? — all the stars and the whole beauty of the night, yours. Why remain confined? If he can open the doors for the spiritual search, then, certainly, he can fulfill the prophecy of Edgar Cayce that Russia is the hope for all of mankind.
And I think him a man intelligent enough to understand that materialism is as confining as Christianity, as confining as Hinduism. I am making my people available to all dimensions because the whole past is your heritage. Why remain so poor, clinging to one small tradition? Why not allow the whole sky to be yours? Why not open your wings?
Communism missed the first revolution because it was not revolutionary enough. It was a reaction against Christianity; and whenever you react to something, you start behaving in the same way. In America they are becoming more and more a closed society because of fundamentalist Christianity. You will be surprised to know that in America thousands of books have been removed from the libraries — in this twentieth century, just now in this year — because they do not conform with the fundamentalist Christian attitudes, with the fanatic and fascist Christian mind.
Even in American education Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution cannot be taught; it has been prohibited, because it goes against Christianity. Christianity believes in creation.
Perhaps you have never thought that the idea of creation and the idea of evolution are diametrically opposite. God created the world; now there is no question of any evolution.
You cannot improve upon God.
Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution is against Christianity. In no other country is it banned. But some American states have banned it; now it is a crime to teach it. And all books — and there are thousands of books written on the theory of evolution — have been removed from the libraries of colleges, universities and national libraries.
A strange polarity. The Soviet Union has been up to now a closed society, and America at least pretended to be an open society. Now the Soviet Union is making every effort to become an open society, and America is becoming more and more closed.
I would like to add a few words to Edgar Cayce’s prediction: If the Soviet Union is the hope for mankind, then the United States of America is the greatest danger for mankind.
It is preparing for human death. And if the Soviet Union becomes not only politically open but also philosophically open — not confined to the out-of-date ideas of Karl Marx, but open to all kinds of theories, philosophies, religions; experiences of Zen, and Sufism, and Hassidism, of Tao and Yoga — it can certainly prove the savior of humanity.
