Now is the Time to Deepen Your Study and Practice
The future is not certain, and if we look to the past, we have indications of civilizations that have risen, cultivated science and arts, philosophy and spiritual practice, and even then, they have fallen. They are now only a vague echo in the hallways of our deepest ancestral memory.

Important civilizations pass away, their highly developed knowledge suddenly annihilated.”
