When I was in elementary school, human beings visited the moon for the first time. We had conquered space! We felt invincible! The telephone was invented, the first TV (black and white) was made to entertain us, and several electric appliances were helping us save time and making our lives easier…
I thought I was lucky because there was so much progress in my time! People believed that my generation would solve all problems of the human race, thanks to the technological development; the elders were always telling us that we were "the hope of the future!"
The knowledge we were exposed to appeared powerful and appeared to have infinite possibilities for development! Our world became electric; everything suddenly changed and continued to change very fast, as we were learning more and achieving more.
However, now that my generation is old and my son's generation is the one that has to give us some hope, we are not happier and we don't believe that this generation is capable of solving the problems we were unable to solve. This generation is facing the results of a huge development lacking organization and the insane destruction that our generation caused to the environment.
People are more vulnerable to illnesses at a relatively early age because their bodies are not resistant. They eat fast food without sufficient proteins or frozen foods without taste, they breathe the air polluted by atomic bombs that destroyed countries and experimental fields in the past and are still doing it now; they live in a commercial world where hypocrisy is used to try and hide all our absurd mistakes with indifference and futility. They feel humanity's despair, they don't believe they can be the heroes we need and they are afraid of the future.
We live in a world were one suicide happens every 40 seconds and most of the population suffers from neurosis and depression. Our progress did not help us live better and our kids will have to work many miracles if they want to save mankind and our exploited planet, which already lost many of its natural resources.
What can save us from our own insanity? How can we correct all the mistakes we made and are still making everyday? How can we put an end to terror and despair? Where can we find happiness?
When we answer these questions, we will find a solution to teenage depression. But we are unable to do so; we are too ignorant!
The unique solution for our depressed new generation comes from the ancient wisdom of the old scriptures, the deepest level of our soul, a magical resource we could not imagine existing in our own psyche: the saintly and wise unconscious mind that creates our dreams. Its unlimited power was discovered a long time ago, but in fact, it has been completely understood only in this century.
Now we have almost destroyed our planet with bombs and factories, we have been disgusted with immorality and hypocrisy for so long and have seen how empty material progress without psychic development is. Now, to our great surprise, we can see how we are unable to govern our world and our own lives without provoking disasters, so it is only now that we have grown to have the humble attitude needed to finally learn how to live peacefully and happily by correctly and easily interpreting our own dreams.
If we believe we know everything and we are not willing to recognize our ignorance and our incapacity to decide what is really good for us based in our own judgment, we can never learn what the wise unconscious has to teach us through our dreams and in the reality we observe.
The wisdom of the unconscious is true and can save us from despair only if we learn to abandon our old conceptions of reality and if we learn to change our behavior. We have to be humble students who understand how deep their ignorance is and how much they need to learn in order to receive the benefits of this unparalleled wisdom.
This is really the only solution for people of the new generation who are already depressed and feel that they cannot do anything to change or improve our world.
Young people need to understand how they can develop their psychic sphere the most, and use their power to correct all the mistakes we made. They need to have an aim and many possibilities to achieve it, without being bound by the problems and impossibilities that once hindered us in our path to success and now are suffocating them as well.
