The New Civilization

Yet peace cannot be achieved without a new civilization, or, rather, a new spirit infused into the structure of the present Western modernized, mechanized society, redirecting it and instilling it with new values. The current modernized, mechanized, Western world, characterized by grand external appearances, large-scale production, and sprawling cities, is a technological collective where individuals are subjugated to its system. The new civilized society that will enable peace must prioritize refined internal values, creating a civilization in which the individual utilizes the collective as a means to achieve inner freedom while enabling others to attain the same freedom.
Our present era may be described as the age of the atom or the exploration of outer space, but it is perhaps most aptly characterized as the age of the-man-in-the-street, the age of the ordinary unremarkable individual. This is the person upon whom the blazing sun of modern life has shone, compelling them to rise, with staff in hand, to wander the pathways in search of life, freedom, and self. These are the things mankind has been distracted from throughout the long ages of its recorded and unrecorded history. This history is now being reviewed and rewritten in light of new values.
These new values are what will redirect the current Western mechanized and modernized societies towards a new path, laying the foundation for this new civilization.
