But there was a time when all this could have been prevented if love and reason instead of pride and lust for power had prevailed. To every nation comes such a time. The holy scriptures of Quetzalcoatl prophesied it. Even Moctezuma, Priest and King, finally recognized the moment. But his Princes and Priests would not. A new era was rushing upon them, but they saw only the old way of life and the threat to their privilege and power. In their blindness they destroyed our world.
