While thinking of the past, I realize that we are living in a very dangerous age.
A Dangerous Age
We live in a very dangerous age
which holds human destiny.
Scientific progress has deeply
damaged the human soul,
which finds itself cut off from its source
where it belongs.
This gap is resulting from our weakness,
from our fear of the truth,
which remains an eternal secret.

of understanding nature and ourselves?
Both constitute the biggest mystery.
which our inner source could reveal to us.
This mystery engenders the fear of death,
which we are replacing with pleasure and comfort,
believing in the progress of science.
At the expense of our faith.

An inspiring and mind's striking composition... "A Dangerous Age" shows the arrow to reason, and rings the bells of awareness.
