Anton Sammut
“When you look at yourself, you catch a fleeting glimpse of a moment in eternity, as if peering into the infinite flow of time through the lens of your own existence.

But when you look within yourself, delving deep into the core of your being, you uncover the profound truth that eternity resides within each passing moment. In that single heartbeat of your life, you can find the vastness of the universe, where time dissolves and every experience, emotion, and thought connects you to the boundless essence of existence.”
Anton Sammut

“Each discovery felt like an invitation… to uncover the stories it held, both celebrated and obscured by time.”
Anton Sammut, The Heirs of the Lost Legacy: A Modern Odyssey in a Forgotten Past

Anton Sammut
“The word “religion” (Latin “religio”) is a very old term and, in fact, was already used in Roman times and was understood to portray a similar meaning by many other civilizations. For example, the Roman orator Cicero (106-43 BC) understood this term to mean “respect towards something of great importance”, somewhat similar to an obligation which man should reserve for gods. The Greek term “eusebeia” (reverence or fear of God) has a comparable meaning, whilst in the Arab and Persian world the same meaning is portrayed through the term “din”. The term “dharma” (Sanskrit) or “dhamma” (Pali), can translate into “that which mankind must embrace”. If one were to travel to China the term used would be “chiao” and “kyo” in Japan. This shows that the need for religion is not only culturally bound, but an inbuilt necessity which can be found in each human being throughout the ages.”

“Throughout, the story of mankind has shown that man's profound thinking has not been enough to serve the needs of his existential life: Man began to experience a need to formulate what he believed in and still believes in, what gives his faith a solid structure in order to serve as a guideline for his life and his faith. It was, in fact, religion which gave him this solid guideline, because it encompassed the essence of human nature: unity and division, love and hatred, forgiveness and revenge, certainty and uncertainty as well as the spiritual meaning of life and death.”
