"The Fund has concluded that Professor Nader's research has provided a powerful scientific basis for this programme because it has demonstrated how crucial is the relationship of individual life to cosmic life, and how vital it is to maintain balance between the individual nature of intelligence and its cosmic status, so that natural harmony and order prevail, and everyone enjoys maximum health, happiness and good fortune." The Fund, in other words, is supporting the development and reconstruction of the world according to Natural Law by giving a grant to Tony Nader to continue his research. ...and, at worst, contradicts the > wording of "award" and "will receive his weight in gold". Grants are frequently referred to as "awards." "Professor Nader will be seated on one side of a special scale, and gold will be piled up on the other side until the scale balances. This gold then will be given to Professor Nader as his scientific award, and deposited in a bank to support his continued scientific work."
