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?
