Disappear Quote by Sorin Cerin
“If churches will disappear, what will replace them? The answer is simple: Man will replace them! Only then will the man turn towards his own Self and wonder: what was the use of so much suffering? All these millennia of suffering had a meaning, and if they did, what was that meaning? Does anyone benefit from this sense? And Man will fall again in the darkness of the beginnings of his self, knowing that no meaning can be a meaning because all the paths finally lead to nowhere, to the vanity of the non-Knowledge to which Knowledge is referenced to, that everything is an Image, an Illusion, that all the Knowledge is an Image, an Illusion, and no matter how many meanings it seems to have at a certain time, they will disappear as the smoke carried away by the winds to nowhere. They will disappear because the so-called great and ineffable Knowledge does not even have clay legs, but smoke legs, because it is based on non-Knowledge and thus it becomes non- Knowledge too as non-K”
