Words can be spoken or written, you can promise things with words, and then take the promises back, words can hit or caress, with words you can rule, pretend, or even experience, seemingly. Words can be fiery and false, at the same time - but how to tell them apart, now that´s some talking... Luckily for us, there are deeds... Oh, yes, right ... words, words, words, but all talk no action. All we can do is wish for the action, and as for the words, there is no need for too many, as long as they are sound and can be taken for granted. Some words or statements change over time: Truth and love shall win over lies and hatred... Now, what energy and meaning there was in these words twenty two years ago, and today - people have taken the meaning away, often the same people who introduced them as a symbol and a motto. Our conscience let us sleep here calmly, although we wanted more than we achieved. May it be so for you, too, who shall come after us and build the humanity temple even higher. These are words, too - in particular, these words are the epitaph of Freemasons, which spreads along their entire crypt at Slavín, and it is a coincidence that the association Svatobor, which has been taking care of the crypt, is going to open it to public this year after a very long time... Josef and Karel Čapek, Viktor Dyk, Alois Rašín, Julius Zeyer, Alfons Mucha, František Křižík, Josef Suk, these are the names of active Freemasons... but why do I write about it here and now … I like the main idea of the Freemasons... very simply said, it was about edification of individuals and nations, about the elevation of thought, philosophy and public deeds over mere material satisfaction of an individual or a limited group. Nevertheless, the material aspect is not underestimated at all, since it is hard to be a philanthropist when there are no resources to take from. Nearly on an everyday basis, media confront us all with multimillion frauds - they call them outflows, and what is interesting, they are often accompanied by sudden loss of memory. There is no other way but to steel ourselves against this, to be surrounded by people who cherish words like law, honour, nobleness and justice, and to believe the world has not gone completely crazy yet, and still can be changed. I am sure you have noticed sometimes too demoniac discussions over the date of the 21st December 2012 - it is true that on this day, our planet Earth together with all important planets of our system get in one imaginary straight line with the Sun and the galactic centre in the Milky Way. After that, there will be a transition into the galactic equator. This phenomenon repeats once in 25 920 years, and is called a cosmic or a Platonic year. When that year is over, our planet Earth will pass through a change, just like the mankind itself... yet what will be the nature of the change is not written in the stars, it lies inside us. Reality we live in is created by ourselves, by our thoughts and our expectations of future events. In other words, let us expect the best and so be it! Being good does not necessarily mean being weak or even less clever. |
