Many people's dream is to be able to prolong life indefinitely. But although cosmic Intelligence has not given them the possibility to live eternally on earth, it has provided them with an organism that is capable of surviving far longer. The truth is that it is human beings themselves who, through their ignorance and disordered conduct, shorten their life, and the children who are born onto this earth receive a heritage that has been made defective by generations and generations of people who have lived badly. Everyone must therefore decide to lead an intelligent and reasonable life once more, so that humankind may attain this longevity. This can of course not be achieved in one generation, because the past is overloaded with harmful elements that are not so easily cast out, but by observing certain rules of life and conduct, we can not only prepare the ground for later but we can introduce certain improvements even in this existence. You will say: 'And what about the advances of medicine?' Yes, the advances of medicine ... but if human beings do not take this work of regeneration upon themselves, in what state will medicine preserve them?
