...it seems that i have arrived into emptiness... the earth as we knew it has grown dim... the things that brought us to this 21st century (nature as our ancestors knew it, and as they changed it) are fading in our memories and our thoughts... as the world we knew grows indistinct and silent we experience dreamless sleep in which pure reason and abstract words replace concrete imagery - it's as if the past is ceasing to exist and as if the structure of our perceptions is changing also...

...nothing is yet clear but the uncertainty is not frightening... we have been prepared for this change by what was new in the arts, the sciences and the philosophies of recent centuries as well as by the discarded truths of the ancient myths and religions - before each was misused as means to worldly power and exploitation...
