This  is  the  present  situation  of  accumulated  knowledge  and
        developed technology, when new inventions and useful gadgets

        appear on a daily basis. We are certain, or so it seems, that life is
        easier  nowadays.  But  the  reality  is  different.  We  stumble  upon

        obstacles that prevent broadening of our awareness, developing

        morality,  finding  ways  to  touch  microelements  and  investigate
        distant spaces that are seemingly within reach. No, we cannot be

        complacent.  What  about  our  inner  needs  when  our  lives  are

        preoccupied  by  awkward,  negative,  mean  circumstances  and
        effects? What is going on?


        Humanity  is  becoming  a  lost  race,  not  just  for  ecological,  but
        primarily  for  political  reasons.  For  over  50  years,  almost  all

        comparatively developed countries are democracies, but instead

        of  arriving  at  solutions  that  come  from  the  rule  by  the  people,
        problems  increase,  especially  those  induced  by  demagoguery.

        People  are  not  free  in  the  true  sense  of  the  word;  they  are
        threatened  by  their  rulers  who  misguide  and  misuse  them.

        People  in  developed  countries  are  taught  to  believe  that  their
        main  task  is  to  increase  their  possession  in  order  to  be  happy

        and fulfilled. In fact, they fall victims to illusions. No one is truly

        safe.

        Not only is their property unsafe, but it is temporarily possessed

        only by those who have connections with the establishment, so
