| While things on the surface seem more quiet than at any time since last summer, I do not like the maintenance of what amounts to almost full mobilization in aggressor countries. Surely they cannot afford it and if they had any definite policy of trying to work out economic salvation (except by arms) they would be showing some signs of cutting military expenditures. |

Photocopies of documents from the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York, vol. 15, p. 224, ed. Donald B. Schewe, Clearwater Publishing (1969). The President had been convinced since the Czech crisis that war was imminent and that Chamberlain’s appeasement policy would not deter Hitler from further aggression. ~ |

| >consult guide about space If you hyperventilate and then empty your lungs, you will last about thirty seconds in the vacuum of space. However, because space is so vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big, getting picked up by another ship within those thirty seconds is almost infinitely improbable. |

| In addition to practicing during the waking state, if you can also use your consciousness during sleep for wholesome purposes, then the power of your spiritual practice will be all the greater. Otherwise, at least a few hours each night will be just a waste. So if you can transform your sleep into something virtuous, this is useful. The Sutrayana method is to try as you go to sleep to develop a wholesome mental state, such as compassion, or the visualization of impermanence or emptiness. |
