Erin, Wim
Is society progressing??... yes and no, the great experiment that was
America has failed miserably, the so called leading nation has nothing to
offer the world, like Rome it is morally bankrupt, and like Rome it will
fall...
Elsewhere, there are the signs of progress, but these will have to wait
until religions such as Chritianity and catholicism are dead and buried, and
this may take a very long time, we are trapped in the void of stagnation
until then..
the uptake of buddhism around the world by individuals is certainly a step
toward the light, the MOQ is also a step toward this
