Q:Master, You’ve spoken on several occasions about the parallels between the history of Mars and Earth. Is it true that Mars experienced climate change at the hands of its inhabitants like our planet? Did the Martians have a chance to save their planet?

M: They did. The warning came 20 or so years earlier in Earth time to them, and the last urgent sign they had was about five years before the destruction. They had five years in advance, but they did not change quickly enough. They did not change, so they didn’t have a chance to save the planet. They did have a chance, but they did not do it.

Q:Why is that, Master?

M: The reason they did not change fast enough was because they did not know about the vegetarian diet that could change the situation. In those times, there were not enough people to stand up and communicate the urgency of the planet, as well as the solution like the vegetarian diet, the way we are doing now.

Q:And Master, how about our planet? Do people know the chance?

M: There are some people who don’t know what to do. And of course, some people know what to do because we inform them or the United Nations informs them or the scientists inform them, but they still have not changed their habit. So, if we continue not changing our habit, then the planet will be destroyed, just the way Mars has been destroyed.
