As our world battles on from a Darkened past and an equally Dark present, a steady beam of
\nLight persists. It is eternal and within the core Spirit of humankind. It has long sought full release;
\nopening wide the flood-gates of Actuation, Inclusion and Life Engagement. On Wings of
\nLight declares this time has already arrived. Sharply accelerating transfigurative effects, it
\ncontends, are due to the advent of Cybernetics; the combined operation of Electronics and
\nCommunications in our modern world. Cybernetics not only brings Great Light to illuminate
\nage-old Corridors of Darkness; it points mankind in the direction of a bright and promising Horizon
\nFuture. In the unfolding of this future, it maintains that Africa, with its vast lands, folk, resources,
\nroot Ethic of Light and increasing prominence, will play the determining role. Exploring relevant
\nconcepts, thoughts and perceptions; this work reflects on their meaning, significance and stimulus
\nto practical research and activity.<\/p>\n
