Letter from Michael Roll to Lyn G. de Swarte, July 18, 2002

Lyn G de Swarte was editor of Psychic News until June 2003.


18th July 2002

Dear Lyn,

I am sure you are right that Arthur Findlay bitterly regrets the few "patronising and racist allusions in his books". He is of my parents' generation who were subject to the highly efficient propaganda left over from colonialism that people with dark skins were in someway inferior to those with white skins.

Thankfully this follower of Arthur Findlay was totally protected from such evil propaganda because my father was a professional cricketer. Right from birth I was fed exciting stories of the great West Indian and Indian cricketers. In fact my father once introduced me to Sir Learie Constantine and spent the rest of the day telling me how wonderful he was. Black men to me were the opposite of inferior beings. I had them all on a pedestal alongside my father's other heroes - Australians.

The websites of the secular scientific case for survival after death are stressing the unity of mankind on this planet. We have eliminated the hatred connected with all the dangerous and divisive religions invented by priests when it was thought a red hot ball of fire went round a flat Earth every day:

The Curse of Ignorance by Arthur Findlay (1947), published in two volumes, and details of some of Findlay's other works.

This is the true history of mankind, totally different to the pack of lies taught in a country where the Church and state are established. This passage sums up just how badly the British people have been deceived:

"Such, however, is still [the Church's] influence that this book, which tells the story of the past honestly and fearlessly, will be kept out of our schools and universities by the authorities, and consequently, only in later life will those with enquiring minds discover the truth."

Findlay finishes with a call to the people of the world to throw off the shackles of priestcraft, to make a choice between two paths:

"One is the Secular way (non religious) and the other is the Theological (religious); one is the Democratic and the other the Despotic; one is the sane and the other the insane."
