Value#2 – Fortitude The September 11th, 2001, attack on America was an enormous test of the values of fortitude and courage. Since that crisis there has been some swing away from irresponsibility, showing again that adversity continues to help mold character as it draws out latent strengths.

Value#3 – Nationalism Nationalism is another positive evolutionary step-up leading toward global citizenship. In Afghanistan, for example, as in many other countries, tribal loyalties still supercede national interests. Over time, these countries will leave the tribal culture for more nationalistic forms of government such as those which prevail in the western world, while the western world will continue on toward a more world-wide, less nationalistic, focus. Before the era of light and life, one world government will prevail(1), (2), and nationalism will have lost its influence.

Value#4 – Genetic improvement Homo sapiens is the only species where the weak and the physically and mentally unfit are encouraged to reproduce. The time will come, however, when society will have to begin to impose constraints upon who can reproduce and who cannot. For world peace to prevail, population size will have been stabalized and efforts to improve the gene pool will be acceptable.

Value#5 – Equality Revelation makes it clear that we are not created equal; neither physically nor mentally; neither are the races equal any more than males and females are equal in all respects. Equality is not a material world actuality but is a spiritual potential. The lessons of war help refocus unrealistic human wishes, wants, and desires into more realistic paths.
