Questions and Meditations

And it is this very incapacity that can make us the playthings of interested forces.

Is there actually a tentacular adversary operating in all fields and on multiple fronts simultaneously, whose aim and objective are to prevent any veritable progress of consciousness on a terrestrial scale, as such a progress would sign its end? Between the continuing erosion of the protective atmospheric sheath of the Earth and the orchestrated hypnosis of consumerism at all costs, this adversary who would destroy the way and prevent the advent and incarnation of a truly higher Consciousness, appears to detain formidable advantages, with the leisure to contemplate the final rout.

Nevertheless, despite all the damage and refuse, the anguish, disgust, terror and misery which we keep secreting, we are touching, in our collective human awareness, progresses that are irreversible and the release from very ancient yokes.

The horror that grips us at the sight of a river choking asphyxiated by mounds of garbage, frothing with murky toxic wash, its banks littered with corpses entangled in the remains of our feasts – long live our democracies, let everyone by right have a part of the cake -, this horror, does it awaken us to the true Consciousness? A dead cow lying on the roadside with a burst belly from which hang shreds of plastic, the brutal yaw of an abandoned mine, the little girl torn out by mortar: what can our courts and tribunals, our laws and conventions, our prisons, ever do? It is an altogether other reign that we need, a reign intolerant of falsehood.
