What Should Now Be Done, O Nations of the East?

& Traveler

The eighth book invites all the nations of the East to become like a single organism so that they may replace the "Pharaonic Wisdom" currently prevailing in the world with "the Wisdom of Moses" and pave the way for a unity of humankind through economic, spiritual and political empowerment of everyone. In the second part of the book, the Poet travels into "the heart of Asia" – Afghanistan, according to him – and gives hints about the hidden implications of the messages of some of the sages whose tombs are visited in the journey.
