“ The power of sound will be revealed to Man the day He fully understands the strenght hidden in words, and starts using them acording to evolution laws. Sound and silence united will break the barrier of human ego, and will lead to higher levels of conscience. Light is the essential element of every particle. Light’s manifestation leads all creatures to their true desteny, and man will live in it, and through it will he express himself.
Unite in sound! Unite in light! Unite the tribes! are key declarations for a new rising Era, a stage of peace and union, and respect for planet earth, spaceship on wich we travel, our galactic mother.
Man will become more subtile, mater will finally be understood, science and religion will fuse under the power of metaphisics.”
