History has determined the current patterns ol government of South Africa, Botha said. When whites began colonizing South Africa about 300 years ago, Botha said, they settled in the south west which is rich in mineral re sources. About the same time, Afri cans moved into the well-watered eastern part of the country, he said. Still Separate The two races still reside in their original territories, according to Botha. He said it is not South African policy to perpetuate racial discrimi nation. One of the African homelands in South Africa, the Transkrie, is scheduled to be emancipated next year, Botha said. “For us to embark on integration would be folly,” he said. “The areas controlled by the two races are ad ministered as separate, dual societies, he said. nni j • rr._« • i umeicuee ueiweeu me DiacK. in South Africa and in the United States is that the Black in South Af rica has never been a slave, according to Botha.

The group believes that there are many levels of human existence. Ala higher level, a person will be “free to travel anyplace in the universe,” according to Reach. Calling their message “the most important thing that’s happened in 2,000 years,” Reach said a person can go through “a natural metamor phosis” and can “change into a to tally new life free from all human activities and hangups.” Reach said at the time of meta morphosis, a body is “chemically and biologically changed into a new creature.” Reach and Hickory said there were two other persons who had “given their bodies up to the next level and returned reincarnated as a man and a woman.” He said these people, named “Bo” and “Peep” came to Earth to spread the message of human metamorphosis. Reach said Bo and Peep arc the two witnesses Jesus Christ said he would send to Earth in the book of Revelations in the Bible. He said they took the names Bo and Peep to avoid being worshipped instead of God. It s pretty ludicrous to worship someone called Bo and Peep,” Reach said.

He said this light has “accelerated all life on the planet. People are more intense now,” he said. He said people are drinking more, using more drugs or are turning to spiritualism during this time of acceleration. nized authoritarian government and the majority vote method of govern ment probably would not be accept able to the people of South Africa, he said.
