Richard’s
Teachers informed him that we are to combine characteristics
of both patriarchal and matriarchal cultures to form the
best that culture can offer: “The new nation you are to
help found must recreate a balance of the patriarchal and
matriarchal world views, just as the great Lemurian culture
had.” We are to combine the best of each in order to
create an atmosphere most conducive to individual Egoic
growth and cooperation.”

Culture in the Next
Few Years

We
believe that we are living in the end times--now! There are
earth changes to consider as well as wars and turmoil. More

one civilization and the birth of another.
