Questions and Meditations

Can one single human being, one single living human body, inhabited with well-tempered and refined qualities and capacities, today, serve as the instrument of world domination?

China’s strongman, Xi Jinping, who has managed to establish his power in an almost absolute way, stands at the head of the largest demographic puissance, the undisputed leader of a largely consenting people, obedient, disciplined and proud of its achievements; China’s progression upon the entire earth is unparalleled and its greed – for land and strategic resources – seems that of an insatiable giant. Yet its immense machinery can quickly jam if exposed to different approaches and ethics proponing freedom of choice and the need for personal individual, conscious integrity. It would presently seem that all applied scientific discoveries have, sooner or later, harmful and deleterious effects on the environment, on Nature as a whole and on all living bodies – from nuclear fission to asbestos sheeting, from combustion engines to heating plates -, either directly or through the exploitation they necessitate. Why? Does this mean that all scientific approach and “knowledge” are to be condemned or feared? Or is it the indication of a wrong position of our consciousness? *

Under cover of a world culture acceptable to all, since its declared aim is to enrich, enhance, ease and perfect everyone’s life, all demons come out of their lairs, emerge from the subconscience and expose themselves in every place and at every moment.

And why not? After all, one must at last see them for what they are and move on…!
