[Dialogue] Why wars? A monumental Evolutionary 5th wave is coming faster than the 4th Global Wave of Consciousness

[Wayne Ellsworth]

Dear Ann,

Is there is no option?  I think not, but I feel in the wind, blowing very strongly, an evolutionary movement rushing and nothing stands in the way!  Are you convinced?

The Ringing Cedar Series tells of this movement, but even more, tells deep "secrets" of just why this is happening in the 21st century, and better still, reveals how it there were more enlightened people eons ago, and how we can now move in that deeper direction.  I'm not telling you what I feel, so you please look at http://www.ringingcedars.com/ see for yourself, and while you are there, please order the first book of the series "Anastasia".  OK?

Wayne

Their letter says that the United States spent $1,107,446,00,000 (that’s more than 1 trillion dollars) on the military last year. The AFSC points out that the U.S. spends as much on our military as the combined totals of the next 15 largest budgets: China, Russia, Britain, France, Japan, Germany, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, India, Brazil, Italy, Austria, Canada, Indonesia and the Netherlands. They figure we spend about $2.1 million every minute for war and so called defense. They are trying to raise that amount for their peace programs and they are entreating the president to shift our national resources from war to peace efforts.
