The crisis of the world is actually the crisis of the human ego.
Returning to Christ Consciousness. My work attempts to present the forms of the current social, political and religious crisis. These are related to the way in which man and his relationship in the Church have been perceived throughout history. The state of obedience and total submission has not been the best option in the history of the Church. It would be much better if we managed to create the state of sacred awareness so that people would live their faith from conscience and not from fear of punishment. Recovery through agape is the world’s chance to return to the dialogical joy between people and peoples. Love overcomes any conflict and through love each one sees the other as a divine image or icon, for we have the image of God within us.
