The Acropolitan - January - March 2022

In dieser Angelegenheit

Lurking behind the waves of new strains of the corona virus across the globe, is another illness, more pervasive and far more severe than is noticeable at first glance. For many, apparently guaranteed career paths, and seemingly definitive life plans, have been displaced by deep fears and stressful insecurities rooted in the uncertainty that has clearly surfaced as a characteristic of our times. Although it is evident that this has prompted widespread despair, denial or apathy, a few among the masses face this disease of fear with courage and hope, emerging from the true value of living philosophy, a sincere pursuit of Wisdom, of Truth, and of Goodness.

For these brave torch bearers, it is an opportunity to depart from the false materialistic paradigms that have fed egos and ambitions for many centuries, and which, as humanity, we have blindly taken for granted. Rather than subscribing to the animalistic notion of the survival of the fittest, they show by example what it means to dare to imagine a world in which the privileged happily and generously extend themselves to support the challenged. Instead of power struggles and exploitation, they master the ability to lead themselves, to build governing systems that prioritize the welfare of the collective. Instead of competing to have their voices heard, they produce art and literature that strive to reconnect to timeless archetypes of beauty and harmony.

Traditions world-over have always emphasized this unique capacity of the human being to elevate consciousness, to be motivated by virtues, rather than run the rat race of gathering and securing possessions. It was always essential to educate and transmit how to live a happy and fulfilled life, with the strength and resilience to wrestle the obstacles that life might present; to learn to harmonize oneself with the order inherent in the design of nature.

Let us together also dare to make change; let us together forge new paths, so that those who follow in our footsteps are empowered to give rise to a new civilization. Discover. Awaken. Transform.
