8. Introduction

It is important to try to give some ideas to the man of the present 21^st century, who is mainly material minded, to overcome their spiritual crisis and find their own happiness. A solution may be the recognition of the present status quo around us, which we must view from a certain distance in order to de facto see it. View it from an angle, outside the disorder and all deliberate manipulations generated by others. How could we find the energy for such a task? Solely from our own faith, awareness, and inner intelligence. Faith is no other than spiritual self consciousness beyond the surrounding world. To realise and comprehend the universal world of which we are part of, ensures the ability to encourage and support our faith. Therefore, our existing alertness leads to restoration, acknowledgement of the order within.

Another solution may be for the modern man is to return thinking in analogies, relationships, images and symbols. Analogy means that in our universality we have both the micro and macro -cosmos in us, i.e what is above is the same what is here, below. To see and speak about analogy means to see the world in its relations, universality, metaphysical reality, because this is the only possible way to change or replace things with one another. The replacement must always take place within the same unit, because everything what exists belong together. Should we recognize the existing inter-relationships (not similarities) between stones and plants, social situation and historical events, colours and numbers, warm and damp, then our perfection, universal consciousness is already advancing.

We consider that by highlighting the spiritual crisis, the necessity to return to traditions, hierarchies and analogical thinking, we sow the seeds needed by the future generations. We see the need to give the coordinates in synthesizing orientation, in preparing the next age, which follows the today quantitative, liberal, profane and rational modern age, because it is necessary to promote man’s self-knowledge. We wish to support humans, in their aim of self- recognition, to find their alpha (starting) and omega (arriving) positions. For example, the preparation should include the clarification of the conceptual systems, creation of a common language and mutual understanding, differentiation between sacred and profane perceptions, or to find unity by using analogical thinking and accepting duality.

We understand, that we are unable to fully and permanently answer many questions we come across concerning self-recognition and returning to our traditions, as there are no universal solutions. However, there are individual solutions, aspirations and human desires to find the possible ways of returning. Fortunately, there are people who want to wake up from the material world and to participate in the love cycle, to reach self- recognition and to have a sense of the universal spirit, and finally gain initiation in the inexhaustible knowledge. We are able to help those wishing to have the universal knowledge by going step by step, by relating to the recognition of certain stages, to find the unity in duality. Furthermore in giving assistance in asking questions and finding answers at each stage of their progress. The initial and arrival points of the processes are co-related, which means that the pattern of life and nature is cyclical, and as such, it can lead to another starting point to provide a deeper knowledge and understanding of it’s cyclical nature.
