Humanity has descended to an animalistic level, disconnecting from its inherent spiritual nature. Individuals have ceased to perceive, reflect, and truly listen, relying instead on base instincts.

This ideology, initially confined to biology and largely discredited there, has permeated the social sciences, leading to a loss of awareness of the divine element within. This lecture explores the consequences of this spiritual decline and the importance of reclaiming our inherent humanity.

God consistently tests those who come before us, and remembering these trials offers guidance and strength.
