Kapitel 146: The Redeemed have to exit worldly entrapments

Ickapoo finds life meaningless. But the company he seeks could be spiritual not material.

In Andrei Tarskovsky’s The stalker, the stalker is a man who brings people to the Zone, a place cordoned off from the public because a meteorite had hit the place a few years before, and in the Zone there exists a room which is widely believed to grant all your wishes. What comes to pass however is that the intellectuals that he leads to the room, a scientist and a writer, are cynicals who after being brought to the threshold of the room, refuse to believe in it and indeed the scientist wishes to destroy it and annihilate all hope for the rest of mankind because he believes it this wish giving room will come into the wrong hands of conquerors and malicious people who wish to bring harm on mankind.
