My dear Mr. Byrne:
I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the eighteenth which was awaiting Me when I visited the Krum Elbow estate a few days ago. It is the Work of My Mission to institute or awaken in the masses, the precepts of the true Spiritual virtues of Life for the betterment of all men. Therefore, it is expedient that I enter into all fields and all places of man’s existence. I need not do this Personally, for it is only that great Impersonal “I”, the same that spoke to and through Moses declaring , “I am that I am,” that can do this Work.
However, if I, as the Personification or Personal Bodily Form of “THAT I AM” in the recognition of millions, should condescend from the Impersonal standard of My expression as The Dean of the Universe, to teach the children of men from a Personal point of view, I could justifiably do so.
If I were a College Professor I should lay the foundation for a real education according to the Plan and Purpose of the Almighty. Real education consists of more than merely teaching men the subjects taught in a school curriculum. It comes after the learning of these subjects and consists of putting into practice in daily life the actual virtues of right thinking, right speaking and right living.
If I were a College Professor I should eliminate all reference to races, creeds and colors from My classes, and all consideration of the same: thus nipping in the bud, wars and race riots, vices and crimes, segregation and discrimination, incipient in our educational system of today, which if allowed to develop would be later manifested in business and industry, in church and in politics, and in all society. I would eliminate the very segregated terms referring to races, creeds and colors found in our books of learning, and I would teach men that “of one Blood GOD formed all nations.
Then it would be unnecessary for Me to talk to college graduates and those of other institutions of learning as I do today. Only yesterday, before an audience of ten thousand of My Followers, which included also a large group of visiting ministers, theological students and teachers, it was necessary for Me to speak on this subject and I conveyed to them the following:
You have been taught in your schools, but a good many of you have been fooled. You thought many things you were taught in school were just and right and true, even your cursed vulgar names by which a good many of you have been called. In most instances any word that is used to bring a line of demarcation between what they would consider as two races, it is for purpose of exaltation or for the purpose of honoring humanity on the one side or for the purpose of lowration on the other. If such names were not used for a selfish purpose it would not be so detrimental.
