Birth, death, and rebirth; these words characterise the various manifestations of life, punctuated over time according to its various aspects – that is how it is for human beings.
"Life as an emanation of the Divine is precious, manifold and equipped with an asset that completely escapes human beings. The divine power manifests itself in the slightest breath that animates each particle; it is omnipresent in the infinitely small, as well as in the infinitely great. The human being should have this truth firmly in his mind and assimilate it to the extent of feeling it within, in his most imperceptible impulses, conscious or unconscious. As future times lead him to a certain form of knowledge, he will have to take a different stand as regards this reality.
"In this sense, the step to be taken is impressive, as man is a stranger to himself and science further misleads him through erroneous assessments. There is no such thing as chance in the great movement of life, nor is there necessity. The topic as addressed in a famous book* is evidence of the shortcomings of science, which leaves aside that which is actually essential.
"By neglecting this major aspect, it deliberately ignores what can enlighten it about the origin of matter. It takes time for man to understand where the truth is. Will he achieve this understanding in this century? He has no choice; otherwise he will miss a rare opportunity, a fundamental one for the future, and one that will not occur again anytime soon.

"May those who are wise recognise and seize their chance to rise above the current condition of humanity that is floundering in an unspeakable cesspool, and may they benefit with maximum enlightenment."
