 The
world is worn-out. This is a cause of extensive difficulties in the
mission.
We
have been trying hard to have a sacred Call, that asks for
a brave commitment, listened to by men disappointed, unsacred, who have
not
committed themselves to anything unrelated to their private lives for
ages.
Not that they do not wonder about fundamental
questions, but these questions are never converted into action. They
refuse to push their hopes to the front, to set them out in the public
arena, to change their lives (Rev of Arès 30/11).
I
have constantly puzzled my head about all those men who
have worried more and more about their future, their children
and
grand-children's future, but are still practicing the art of
sidestepping.
The Westerner hides from his opponents:
Christian religion though it is dying, politics which is incapable, law
which
hampers life much more than it helps it along; he would rather submit
to them; he is afraid to break away from them overtly, buries
himself in unspoken resentments and in inertia.
What
sort of
security does man hope for in his faintheartedness? The security
completely wrecked in 1914-1918 and 1939-1945, and then wrecked again
more slowly, but still more deeply in the economic warfare
today? The man today is born of generations that lived through
ten
times as many disasters and hardships as their forefathers had ever lived
though in a century. I personally was born in 1929, but I realize that
my childhood world has completely vanished and left no mark. What's
more, I seem to live through my last years like a criminal in
front of men who regard me as a dangerous ideologist, while I am just an initiator of saved free souls just as all of the messengers
of the Father have been.
The situation far from
making me hopeless makes me eager for the great turnaround that The
Revelation of Arès has told me it is feasible ever since
1974. Today I understand better then ever what the Father means by: The
Truth is, the world has to change (Rev of Arès 28/7). By why
has it been understood by very few people so far?
I
am even less desperate for my far-off youth now that I feel young. I
need this strength greatly, by the way. It is very
hard to make undecided, skeptical, despiritualized men decide to set
themselves free through spirituality. The Arès Pilgrims have taken up
the challenge to change
the world where nothing is steady anymore, and where all
is ambiguous and undetermined, a world going downhill to the sin
of sins (Rev of Arès 38/2). Very few people listen to us, too
true! but we are going forward stubbornly in search of absolute
freedom, which penitence
will give us. This we have perfectly understood and men
and women of the outside world will understand slowly, but certainly.
We
want a planet without passeports
(Rev of Arès 22/11), or any rat law (xix/24),
or any tribunal (16/13,
21/7) other than our consciences (God or Good
within us). We want love, forgiveness, intelligence
lightness against politics which makes life, communication, management
and "justice" more and more complicated and burdensome. The
governmental or administrative feet put on iron clodhoppers to make
man's neck bown down, force him to the destiny that they want for him.
Man pipes down, his resistance to the tamed animal's destiny they make
for him is almost nil; which goes beyond any rational explanation. The
reasons for their non-existent resistance, which people in the street
give, when they happen
to give some, are unclear. They all seem submitted and yet when they
are asked, "Are you submitted by civic-mindedness? " they do not
answer "Yes". They shake their heads doubtfully. You can guess that
they are repressed rebels, hangdogs which can't bite.
They
can't
bite, which is good because biting has turned useless. History has
shown it. But what if humans psychologically worn-out are
given a
different way of gaining happiness? They might have become cowards only
because they have become convinced of the permanent triumph of
political materialistic rationalism everywhere, whereas it on the
contrary is having its back to the wall where it is bound to fall
through, being unable to have mankind getting over it because it has
exhausted it by depriving it from all ideals. But there is an ideal
left, which we call on men to take up so that they may draw from it a
new strength to set themselves free, it is the ideal of The
Revelation of Arès.
This is why the darker the
politic economic prospects, the braver and more hopeful we have to be.
The
world still has good colors, hidden but alive. In the world each man
thinks he has to take side with or against the left, the right or the
center — "Vote!" the political propaganda shouts, even though what you
would rather vote for has never existed or has disappeared —. More and
more people realize that this citizenship pivilege chains them up and
that invisible strainers tighten the chains. The virtuosi of cynical
irony and of diffraction are at work, let us believe that the smaller
our space of freedom the nearer we are coming to the infinite and the
light. Which explains why there are more and more abstainer. The
inanity of
the speeches has never been that obvious. Our mission for the Truth has never
been that necessary to give men a sense of reality.
Penitence can give each man freedom.
So
we have to preach penitence relentlessly.
Let's explain again
and again what the Father means by penitence,
the key to resacralization and liberation.
