The need today is something which only a system created in our own era could satisfy. Although the wisdom of the sages remains always unchanged, it is equally true that it must be modified to suit the needs and circumstances of each historic period. The world has gone through too many changes and through too many great upheavals today to be adequately served by messages which were delivered 2500 and 5000 years ago as in the case of the two Asiatic religions, Buddhism and Hinduism. We of the West must become truly creative.
