During "these troubled political times"

 

 

Yes, as opposed usual unbroken vast time spans of global peace and

understanding. Okay I'm being sarcastic. Read the ancient Vedic texts

and the descriptions of warfare on a scale we can not even imagine. The

descriptions of aviation, nuclear warfare and even directed energy

weapons are uncanny. This world goes through a long duration ~24,000

year cycle of slow upward spiritual evolution followed by a decline back

into ignorance.

The bottom of the last cycle was approximately 500AD. Since that time

the world has been advancing and we are now about 300 years into the

Dwapara Yuga [a 2400 year period of developments in electrical and

atomic energy]. The desire for global peace is in part a dim memory of

the "higher ages" the Treta and Satya yugas [corresponding the Greek

idea of silver and golden ages]. The present age we are in will last

another 2100 years during which enormous advancements in technology will

occur. However in ALL ages the possibility of warfare is present.

Everything is dualistic. The only real freedom from these troubled times

is a balanced life of meditation and right activity. In time the theme

of the world will become more and more self control and self

improvement. When that occurs the human race will, to a large extent,

throw off the shackles of war, ignorance and poverty. However even that

will still be part of a greater cycle. So long as we place our hopes in

the politicians and world leaders we are going to be consistently

disappointed. It is good to act rightly in the world is certainly

needed. But an inner renunciation from the dualistic contrasts of this

earth is the foundation, the starting point, toward our real purpose

here. No matter how many times we allow our expectations for happiness

to rest upon the outcome of some political event we will always find

disappointment. I am not suggesting a negative or passive state of

renunciation, I advocate finding the real joy within and then carrying

that into our worldly duties. Whatever else I have read in these email

exchanges, I have read very little indication of true happiness and

peace.
