The world is like a ride in an amusement park and when you choose to go on you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down, and 'round and 'round, and it has thrills and chills, and is very brightly colored and very loud. And is fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begun to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered and they come back to us and say: "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because... This, is just a ride."
And we kill those people.
Is Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try tell us, you ever noticed? And let the demons run wild. But it doesn't matter because... Is just a ride. And we can change that anytime we want. It is only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings or money: a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off; the eyes of love, instead, see all of us as One.
Here is what we can do to change the world right now, to a better ride. Take all the money we spend in weapons and defense and instead spending feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world and it would be enough doing many times over, no one human being excluded, and we could Explore the space togheter.
Both inner and outer.
Forever.
In peace."
