CD 10: Philosophers’ Path
After coming out of the forest he hopes to find a way, which is not complotted by any unseen power appearing as the hands of the destiny that has inflicted pain, suffering and blindness in the realm of the artists, the musicians and the poets. He beseeches the Devil for help in bringing him to the sphere where knowledge and rational understanding will be guide of life. To show him a realm outside the confusing dreamy reality of the forest, the Devil brings him to the path where the souls of the philosophers brood and speculate about the meaning of life`s journey. Thus he enters another realm of the mind where rational speculations and contemplative reflections may guide man. Here he meets philosophers from different schools coming from the Eastern and the Western cultures.
