S2 Ep 32. The Crisis of our Times. Part 6. Civilizational Eclipse, Human Extinction, and Hope?

We live in an age of apocalyptical possibilities. We now truly have the means to bring this about. Humans have always had to face their own darkness and even evil - the life-destructive Satanic force within them. The world's mythologies are testimony to this. This episode, after reflecting on aspects of the current evolving crises, turns to a myth from Ancient Egypt that of Isis and Osiris, which is at the beginning of civilization, whereas we fear we may be at the end. Here we see clearly the battle between the creative and destructive forces, good and evil, told in this magnificent narrative which offers hope - exactly what we need today.

The essence of this precious life,

The seed upon the flower.

The scent within a perfume,

The light that is a star.

The freedom of the wild west wind,

The mist on mountain side,

The thought before you think it,

She knows you from inside.

The sweetness of the desert breeze

You can’t grasp in your hands.

She’s like the waters of the Nile,

She comes from other lands.
