The game consists of suspending, overhead, a great sack of candies, nuts and other hidden treasures. The Pinata is sometimes manipulated by an adult to defeat the children. Children are blindfolded and twirled around and then try to split the Pinata open by striking it with a stick, imagining it to be Judas Escarias or the devil. When it breaks open, the children remove their blindfolds and scramble for the goodies. Today, nanotechnology is the scientific discipline that most explicitly aims at breaking the cosmic bank.
Nanotechnology seeks to command matter at the molecular, atomic and even subatomic level.
The idea behind this is that all things are made of the same subatomic building blocks and, given adequate knowledge, need only be molded to our will. What we still lack is that level of subatomic knowledge and command. The upshot is that science has become excessively expensive, bureaucratic and materialistic. The integration we need, external and internal, requires an incomparably more intense confrontation between the spirit of the researcher and the natural phenomena he is contemplating than what is currently practiced by even the most zealous of researchers. The body, in its entirety, was meant to become an instrument of vision - a mind.
