The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hither to harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

    We shouldn't be worried by our past because we can only regret our mistakes. However, we should be worried even less by the future because it doesn't depend on us and maybe we will never reach it. The preent is the only time really ours...
    However, the world is so restlss that we are never thinking about the present and the moment that we are living, but always about the one that we'll live.
    In this world we are always busy living the future and never living now.

      It's the history of science that when all the accesses and, just saying, the entry of all the minds are like besieged and obstructed by the most dark idols that are deeply rooted in the minds and like impressed in fire [...] it can afford genuine and original light of the things to find a frank and clean space in which to be reflected. [...] Present is a two-faced being, it looks along with the past and to the future in order to make of a precise idea, it is therefore important to have a picture of both two times, a picture that embraces not only the course and the progress of science but also the forecast of the future.

        The initiatic experience, therefore, represents a change of visual that allowed the man to be connected with the divine. Apparently, in our current world the initiations seem disappeared, but they still exist as which weakened rituals of passage, indeed the several celebrations that are carried out for the new year, the births, the birthdays or any social type of conquest, are a pale memory of the rituals of spiritual rebirth that went with the man in long time. Very rarely, today, these passages correspond to ontological changes of the individual that exhausts them instead in an acquisition of concrete personal power and not in symbolic sense. For this reason the man more does not succeed to put into effect that form of spiritual regeneration that was natural in other times.
