The age-old dream of the human caravan is not to send astronauts in their orbit in outer space.. it is to send its individuals - every single individual in his orbit of self-realization. It is high time that this dream be thus reinterpreted. It is also the sacred duty of every man and woman to help intelligently reorientate human endeavour towards the culmination of this pilgrimage.

The Dedication


To humanity!
A glad tiding... and a greeting.
A glad tiding that God has reserved for it the perfection of both the life of thought and the life of feeling - what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and what has never occurred to the heart of any human being.
And a greeting to Man, as he stirs today within her womb, with labor pains grown fierce, and the breath of dawn breaking forth.
