And I've had the opportunity to take a quick journey back West - to prepare for possible forest fires when the dry season begins , and start preparation for the 200th anniversary of the Lewis and Clark expedition . Some of these can be mentioned : the conviction of the elusiveness and inexpressibility of divine truth , even by Christian revelation ; relativistic attitudes toward truth itself , according to which what is true for some would not be true for others ; the radical opposition posited between the logical mentality of the West and the symbolic mentality of the East ; the subjectivism which , by regarding reason as the only source of knowledge , becomes incapable of raising its " gaze to the heights , not daring to rise to the truth of being " ; 8 the difficulty in understanding and accepting the presence of definitive and eschatological events in history ; the metaphysical emptying of the historical incarnation of the Eternal Logos , reduced to a mere appearing of God in history ; the eclecticism of those who , in theological research , uncritically absorb ideas from a variety of philosophical and theological contexts without regard for consistency , systematic connection , or compatibility with Christian truth ; finally , the tendency to read and to interpret Sacred Scripture outside the Tradition and Magisterium of the Church . These lands , in which East and West have most intensely experienced the difficulty of dialogue and mutual co-operation , have become the symbol of our century filled with bitterness but also rich with promise for the whole of Europe . West London was an Art Deco hot spot at this time with many fine buildings and structures still remaining today . Likewise , his ' Ashihara Collection ' won him fame as a collector specializing in the performing arts of the West .
