Invisible that were bequeathed to us by our grandparents in the West are mostly formal shreds away from all spirituality , a frame without a picture inside , or , at most , a set of pious superstitions . The little that could resist the historical push of the religious fanaticism was hidden in small secret factions ; now they seem to start coming out from their burrows , but without losing sight of the fire lovers , there will always be , or fanatics , forever determined to convince others of what they don ' t even know or understand .
We all die in our cultures , but so far we ' ve stayed symbolically alive in the rituals carried out by those who succeeded us . But in postmodern societies we can ' t even rely on that , because we live turning our back on death in a constant self-deception and the scare of denying what is evident , that is , that everything is transient and we all have our own expiration date . In the West , our new measuring unit is science , since religions are on the decline and most of the ancient knowledge in our cultures has been lost . The rest of the world , moving at its own pace , remains immersed in its own chronologies , with some people bent on killing those who do not think alike , as we all know .
Do you still wonder why the ancient shamans would keep their knowledge secret ?
