I am here, Socrates.
I know you are very curious as to what I wish to write
about. Well, since you are reading about my culture, let
me comment on it.
In my time, some of us tried to understand the nature of
the universe and of life. We succeeded to a certain extent
in deducing certain principles. But the best of us could
only conclude that in the long run, life and the universe
were a mystery, whose meaning we could not penetrate.
Of course, since then, many scientific truths have been
discovered, which certainly make more sense of this
mystery. But even your generation, with all the
accumulation of centuries of scientific thought, and with
all the recent advances in science and technology, will be
forced to admit that the fundamental mystery remains in
place.
In your present time, science has lost its deep connection
to other forms of Truth. Instead of enlightening humanity,
too often science has enslaved it. And this is because
there has been a severe divorce between science/technology
and morality.
As time goes by, humanity will have to, and will, repair
this breach, so that those engaged in technological
pursuits will perceive their role in a moral context as
well. I know this seems impossible in contemporary
America, but it will eventually come to pass.
And along with this moral dimension will come a spiritual
dimension, in which the husks of religion will be broken,
and the kernel of Truth, that religion originally
possessed, will be laid bare again, so that humanity will
once again regain its higher compass. This will all come
to pass.
The nature of your time demands this radical shift in
focus. But it is a process that must evolve organically
based on the laws of psychology and human society.
Let me conclude by saying that over and above this
eventual shift, is the great Truth of the New Birth, which
I possess. This is the highest Truth of God, which no
other Truth will ever surpass.
I was attracted by your interest and love. May you
discover that life is only Love and trust, and that any
problem can be resolved with help from God.
Love, Socrates
