I came back to reason during my return to the village from which I had departed originally; it was not far now. I could remember the entire story the shamanic woman had inspired me on Truth, yet I had no recollection since the time I sat inside the cave and now. By the geography I knew it had been a whole days trek since we left the valley, and I had walked somnambulant all along. I was accompanied once again by my two guides whom I felt glad to see. My guides had not noticed that I had returned to my senses and I made no attempt to have them notice, that way I gave myself some time to recollect on all which had happened.

My original disappointment with the world was still within me, but I was given a new perspective to our way of living. That it was not necessary for us to devote ourselves in divinely guided lives simply based on the faith of empty promises by an absent god. Rather, we can subject our environment to changes towards a more enriching and fulfilling future; by social order, moral behavior and intellectual growth, we can collectively bring to justice the malicious while defending the health and tranquility of all decent people.

If there is anything greater than Humans is Humanity as a whole-the collective knowledge of all. It is beyond the contribution of any one man or woman. Humans formed Humanity, but Humanity shapes and rules the conduct of Humans. It is a system of information that drives itself towards greater knowledge, due to the need and benefit gained through knowledge. We exhilarate our nature, by reflecting that collectiveness as an image of ourselves. Humanity indeed has a life, a body and a mind. History is its life. Community is its body. Culture is its mind.

I cannot stop seeing again and again the intertwining relationship that environment, knowledge, and behavior have with each other. We must flow in agreement with our surrounding. Forget thyself! This is the oracle. Happiness is a life long struggle to eliminate our imposing ego and find serenity.

I have made a choice: lost my faith in all gods, and gained my acceptance of Truth.
