ANCIENT, BUT NOT ALIEN / The Deception

Sometimes it is just funny, the forest and the trees. How people can fail to see what is actually right in front of their eyes. Guess that is where spiritual blindness and human arrogance comes into play. Some are starting to lightly hit on this subject and get people used to ideal. But I don't …
