Only the Firebird defeats evil

Introduction

Once again we encounter Orpheus, but now in his expression of the impossible love for Eurydice, and the opera about it. Music can transmit sparks of divine fire, and although Orpheus’ lyre indeed linked the earth with higher energies from the spheres of Dionysus’ exaltation - and still does so - but Eurydice, the human soul, still has insufficient consciousness… This Pentagram ends with the vision of Dieter Boers, a radiation expert, on the near future, in this case on the year 2012. His message is: if we achieve an increase of vibration through our mode of life, we may look forward to the radical changes that are awaiting the earth with confidence.
