I discuss a general change in consciousness. I think       that the Somalis and the Bengalese ought to take care of themselves,       regardless of looks, and regardless if they are black or white. It is       materialistic to bother about of these peoples' material welfare. Earlier in       history, we were more concerned with the welfare of the soul, whether or not       people would be allowed entry to heaven. Today, the materialistic,       paradisical, welfare state is regarded the new heaven. But it is an       illusion.              M.
