The present lack of interest (in 1920) in sectarian matters on
the part of the inhabitants of your Earth is evidence of a slow
but sure disintegration of a system that has held your people in
mental and spiritual bondage for centuries, and presages the dawn
of a better day for humanity on your Earth.


CHAPTER IX.

MARS HAS NO POLITICAL SYSTEM

When Love rules a community of people there is no need of
administrative bureaus for the regulation of the lives of the
inhabitants who make up the population of a planet. For the same
reason Mars has no gubernatorial or political administrative
center.

This announcement may, in a measure, be a disappointment to many
readers who have imagined that no considerable number of human
beings could live and prosper without the aid and guidance of a
complex administrative system such as you have on your Earth.

Bureaucracy and autocracy are evils resulting from an undeveloped
civilization, and have no place in a community where selfishness
has been eliminated.

When each individual of a vast population, such as that of Mars,
is actuated and guided by the Light Within there is no need for a
horde of political parasites to direct the destinies of the race.
