Don’t Go Back To Sleep

In the confusion that afflicts the world today, I see a disrespect for the very values of life. Beauty is all about us, but how many are blind to it! They look at the wonder of this earth — and seem to see nothing.

Mankind has moved away from the heart of the world to the logic of the mind, and their belief is in the chemist, the physicist, and the mathematician. Science has proven to them that all this ancient belief in ceremony is simply ignorance… And yet modern man has created, with its great science, which it is certain is the ultimate “truth”, a world on the brink of total destruction in less than two hundred years. Whereas ancient man, with its ceremonies, managed to sustain itself for millions of years. Perhaps we should consider this ancient wisdom, at least to understand, even with our logical mind, how it is possible that ceremony actually can create a world in balance.
