“A nation of people who don’t know how to love themselves have NO SURVIVAL TRAINING. A nation of people who don’t know how to unite among themselves have NO SURVIVAL TRAINING. A nation of people who don’t know how to govern themselves have NO SURVIVAL TRAINING. A nation of people who don’t know how to provide for themselves have NO SURVIVAL TRAINING. A nation of people who don’t know how to protect themselves have NO SURVIVAL TRAINING.
Therefore, if any nation of people find themselves in a position whereby they are forced to retreat into the wilderness somewhere, and reduced to the desperate state of having to survive by foraging for edible plants or whatever scraps they can find, while running and hiding from their enemies – this is a clear indicator that whatever so-called survival training they may think they had was A TOTAL ILLUSION AND A MISERABLE FAILURE.
Nations who know how to survive and thrive in the world are nations who have mastered the basics: SELF-LOVE, SELF-UNIFICATION, SELF-GOVERNANCE, SELF-PROVISION AND SELF-PROTECTION. They build and maintain their own modern and independent civilization and culture in the world, which maximizes their ability to survive and thrive from generation to generation – and guards against them ever finding themselves forced into a position whereby they have to run and hide from their enemies (or anyone else).” (pgs. 120-121)
