How to call It?

Today and tomorrow

Today humanity is beginning to strain and struggle and writhe in the vice of a tightening physical impossibility. Today we all are from every side obviously overtaken by the exponential multiplication of the deleterious effects of our actions – many of which already appear to be irreversible and beyond remedy. Ministers, engineers or farmers, priests, doctors or cooks, fishermen or truck drivers, shopkeepers or cleaners, philosophers, teachers, craftsmen, no one is capable to see a viable way in front. We push ahead in various fields of research, on how to undo and repair the damages done, on alternative methods, techniques and approaches, on how to tame the infinitely small, the quantum scale of it all, how to control, control, control Matter, control Nature, control our own conduct – and somehow derail or prevent this seemingly ineluctable fate, this curse we ourselves have nourished and brought to bear. But we dare not, we know not, to turn to another State, another Consciousness, surer, vaster and truer than those that still govern our nature. None of us really knows what to do.

Why?
