This illness that is so evident today is rooted way back in time and will continue to reach far into the future until every being comes to the great realization that greed and self-centered hypocrisy is the true enemy of humanity. Wherever it may originate or wherever it may be directed, it is this enemy that we must overcome. So let us begin within ourselves. "We ourselves are the great medicine for the great illness.
