HISTORY OF THE END OF THE WORLD: THE CRAZY MONK, cont.

“There is one universal truth: you only can do something once, so it better be good.” Jian walked in front of a giant screen. With a remote controle he showed pictures, faces, formula with which he visualised the lexture he was giving. The students were stunned, they had never experienced anything like this before. Some tried to take notes, but most were completely absorbed by the monk's performance. He had a calm but penetrating voice, which changed dramatically when he recited poetry or even sang them a song.

“This truth, this law means that you have to be very careful and very sure of yourself, before you can do anything good. Your learningcurve means damage to others. Always keep that in mind. You will learn, that sometimes it is better to be silent and do nothing. During the moments you are given, you can think, meditate and learn about your actions. Look not at the teachers you meet or the things you are thought, but look at the tradition from which they stem. A tradition you are part of now and which already was old and rigid when Atlantis fell. This institution has only one goal: to revitalize this ancient tradition. Why, you may ask? Well, because this tradition is the only power with which this world can be saved. Saved by the good deeds you are going to perform. This is a terrible important task and not without danger. Our world is a battlefield of several great powers, some alien, who try to conquer our world. For several thousands years human beings are being manipulated and trained to act as servants for a ruling elite, which sometimes were called gods. This elite manifests it selve at key moments in our history. At this moment giant-computers are calculating the outcome of a third World War. A war which will be devastating. In the meantime millions believe that this is the hand of God, punishing the non-believers before the return of his son, Jesus Christ. War will be welcomed by them as the fulfillment of an ancient prophesy. They will even be willing to fire the first shot of launching the first rocket or pay people to do this. The result will be a Western world, which will have many similarities with the Roman Empire.” On the screen some scenes showed images of legions going to battle. “The Romans knew one thing for sure. They were superior to their opponents because they had the gods on their side. But I will take to you about that, next time.”

The lights went on and everybody was blinded for a while. They stayed seated, some to take a deep breathe. The classroom was empty, Jian, the crazy monk, had disappeared.
