Seeing Dreams Come True by Richard Kieninger Forty-five years ago, when I was a young college
student, Dr. White pointed me in a direction I could not fully appreciate at
the time—he charged me with the job of beginning a university that would
truly inspire students and provide valuable information for making their
lives more fruitful and culturally richer. About that same time I was also
granted a vision in a dream concerning a scene of great construction activity
that was explained by Dr. White as being on an island in the Pacific Ocean
preliminary to establishing the Nation of God. These two points—the
university and construction of the island—have consolidated during the past
month into a workable plan. I offered to the country
that has sovereignty over the island, which was long ago selected by the
Brotherhoods, a plan to construct and operate an international university
where people from third-world nations can come to learn soft technologies
appropriate to their needs for cheap energy sources and better ways to grow
food in this era of burgeoning populations and declining standards of living
everywhere. Proven, alternative technologies have arisen around the world,
but they are rarely developed for actual use by people because they would be
in competition with already established systems of doing things.
Administrators of the country that owns the island have decided that my proposal
is feasible and desirable, and they have offered to donate the land on which
to build this envisioned university and the city needed to house the
students, teachers, and support personnel to operate this large-scale
undertaking. Within a year or so, after surveying and planning have been
finished, contractors and builders from around the world will need engineers
and construction tradesmen to live on the island and help build the city. We
will immediately need wharves, roads, sewer and water systems, a solar
electric generating plant, and apartments and homes for the workers who will
be living there for years to come. Services of all sorts will need to be
supplied for this wide array of personnel and their families—hospital,
school, laundry, repairmen and the wide range of stores and offices that are
part of every city. My procurement of the
island for this project was scheduled for the summer of 1986—the year that
the trustees of The Stelle Group confiscated the money in the original
Philadelphia Fund for other uses. So it was not until 1988 that I was able on
my own to initiate negotiations through international lawyers with the
officials of the country that owns the island. Now that I am at last ready to
proceed, the time remaining to accomplish this task is short indeed. Over the
past twenty-five years many people joined The Stelle Group and The Adelphi
Organization to help with this inspirational project and advance themselves
in preparation for their part in it. But the waiting was long and, for many,
too hard and seemingly endless. Members of The Stelle Group and The Adelphi
Organization, who were attracted to the vision given me by my Teachers, later
evolved their own easier visions and either went elsewhere or took over for
their own use those assets that had been accumulated for the Brotherhoods’
Work. Fortunately, there are members of The Adelphi Organization who have
stuck it out and kept working for the original vision. At this point, the
development of the island represents the beginning of the fulfillment of
thousands of years of planning and toil of countless Egos who laid the path
before us. And the government officials who now endorse the university
project on their island have probably been brought to enthusiastic acceptance
through their behind-the-scenes development by members of the Brotherhoods. I doubt their acceptance of
the vision was brought about merely by the brilliance of my representatives
or alone by the elements of my proposal. The island in its present
state consists entirely of rock and sand, but the water and air are
marvelously pure. By means of the techniques we will be teaching, we intend
to transform the campus and city into a garden spot. Thus, it will be proof
to third-world countries that such a seeming miracle can be brought into
actuality without huge expenditures of money. But it will require the
sustained volunteer efforts of renters and owners of homes to develop and
maintain it. The students of the university will be required to put hands-on
effort into keeping their campus a place of beauty and thereby learn first
hand how to transmit this knowledge to their own countries. Here people will
learn hydroponics farming, protection of their local ecologies, and
maintenance of marine resources. Lighter-than-air transports will be
developed to move large amounts of freight and passengers quickly and cheaply
to and from the island with very little fuel or the need of an expensive
airport. The remote location of the island will protect the students and
residents from drug dealing and use. I cannot as yet reveal the name of the
island or its location until certain documents have been signed and ratified
next year, but I can say that it has a semi-tropical climate, and it is
largely mountainous. The resources needed to
bring about this project are rather daunting, but I have learned that when a
project actually begins to move and gains momentum, the money and skilled
people arrive at appropriate times. At no time will we borrow money. Interest
payments have proven to be the undoing of all too many countries and
businesses. Therefore, we will rely solely on donations and grants. The
eventual cost of this endeavor will be about five billion dollars; but I
cannot imagine a more worthy and important undertaking, and there will be
many who will agree. Personally, I find this exciting. I suppose you too may
well take part in making this dream come true and live and work there. |
