The crisis in the world today is such that straight answers must be given to straight questions. In former eras it was possible to accommodate the truth to the level of understanding of those addressed, to clothe it in symbol and allegory or to hide it behind enigmatic puzzling and obscure words, phrases, or sentences. But today there are ominous clouds in the sky which ought not to be ignored, and because of them the risk must be taken that those who cannot now understand may gather at least something, some part or some hint of the truth.
