Four Yugas and Kali Yuga - (2760)

Introduction

I recommend if a person has time to read into the topic of the yugas. 

It gives one a very helpful and clear picture of the development that human beings on the Earth have passed through and the current state in which humanity is now in. It gives a verification and validation of what we are currently seeing in humanity right now.

It also introduces us to the words: Kalki-Avatar, Buddha-Matreya and shows us their meaning. we have probably come across these words in our studies and reading but may not have gained a fuller appreciation of their origin and depth of meaning.

Four Yugas

They are the following:
1. - Krita-Yuga (the “age of joy,” or spiritual innocence of man)
2. - Treta-Yuga (the period of supremacy of man and of giants and of the sons of God)
3. - Dvāpara-yuga (a mixture already of purity and impurity (spirit and matter), the age of doubt)
4. - Kali-Yuga (darkness, misery and sorrow)

It was taught by Blavatsky that we are currently in the Kali-Yuga. Some other Hindu philosophers say that we are moving into the Dvapara Yuga. Master Samael says though that we are currently in the Kali-Yuga.


Kali Yuga

Due to being out of time for the day here is an excerpt describing how the Kali Yuga will be. As you read it how astoundingly accurate it is.

"[There will be] contemporary monarchs, reigning over the earth — kings of churlish spirit, violent temper, and ever addicted to falsehood and wickedness. They will inflict death on women, children, and cows; they will seize upon the property of their subjects, and be intent upon the wives of others; they will be of limited power . . . their lives will be short, their desires insatiable. . . . People of various countries intermingling with them will follow their example; and the barbarians being powerful [in India] in the patronage of the princes, whilst pur er tribes are neglected, the people will perish [or, as the Commentator has it, “the Mlechchhas 2 will be in the centre and the Āryans, in the end.”]3 Wealth and piety will decrease day by day, until the world will be wholly depraved. The property alone will confer rank; wealth will be the only source of devotion; pas sion will be the sole bond of union between the sexes; falsehood will be the only means of success in litigation; and women will be objects merely of sensual gratification. . . . External types will be the only distinctions of the several orders of life; dishonesty (anyāya) will be the (universal) means of subsistence; weak ness the cause of dependence; menace and presumption will be substituted for learning; liberality will be devotion (a man if rich will be reputed pure) . . . mu tual assent will be marriage; fine clothes will be dignity. . . . he who is the strongest will reign . . . the people, unable to bear the heavy burthens, Kara bhāra (load of taxes) . . . will take refuge among the valleys. . . . Thus, in the Kali age, shall decay constantly proceed, until the human race approaches its annihilation (pralaya). . . . When . . . the close of the Kali age shall be nigh, a portion of that divine being which exists, of its own spiritual nature . . . shall descend on Earth . . . as Kalki [Avatāra], endowed with the eight superhuman faculties. . . . He will, then, re-establish righteousness upon earth; and the minds of those who live at the end of Kali age shall be awakened, and shall be as pellucid as crystal. The men who are, thus, changed . . . shall be as the seeds of human beings, and shall give birth to a race who shall follow the laws of the Krita age (or age of purity). As it is said: “When the sun and moon, and the Krita [or Satya] age shall return.”1"

More to come tomorrow...

End (2760).

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
