I will support the suggested revision in preference to the current version
but I too feel that "Universal" is a bit pretentious as "humanity", or
Homo-Sapiens, is a planetary phenomenon, limited to this planet. Our work
and our goal is to inculcate all possible amity within the human family.

The oneness of the unified energy field which is the cosmos is an on-going
reality, and needs no input from homo--saps.
