<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Isn't apocalypse, the best-selling plot in today's mass media market?  Everybody knows the old world is coming to an end, but because the horror of this reality is too much to take responsibility for the majority of us sit on the couch and pretend it is all just another form of entertainment. Fantasy Dissociations has replaced forthrightness, and imagination has withered to make way for shallow ideological affiliation with merely symbolic causes.<br /><br />Of course, symbolism is no mere trifle, and our sense of meaning is precisely what is at stake,<br />How are we to conceive of the human presence on the planet? </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Are we a cancerous growth or the incarnation of God on Earth? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Are we to become once again a spiritual instead of a consumptive and pleasure-driven species? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Are we to replace industrial with initiatory cosmology? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Is our goal to worship, celebrate, and create, or to use, abuse, and destroy?"<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">These are questions of the ultimate meaning of the universe,  and their answers," determine how we inhabit our Earth."</span></div>
