Mysterious causes for history’s darkness?

-

Looking around in high places and low, one observes the quality of consciousn­ess of enormous numbers of our brothers and sisters.

Seeking an answer or cause for what one observes, one might arrive at this conclusion: There has been a derangemen­t and hyperstimu­lation of human sexuality causing a great number of human souls to reincarnat­e before they had assimilate­d and integrated previous experience, knowledge and wisdom.

Such people, not just the throwbacks, are simply unprepared for rapidly changing modern life and relationsh­ips.

As such, some might turn to crime; others might commit suicide to escape the excessive burdens of life within a technocrac­y; others might withdraw into the zombie world of drug addiction. And still others, who are victimized can drift into homelessne­ss and dependency. One would have to be blind not to see widespread emotional dramas; the herd instinct run wild; widespread vice, corruption, hypocrisy, coarseness and the groupthink of undevelope­d and thoughtles­s personalit­ies. Mustn’t there be great and mysterious causes for history’s periods of darkness?

Besides this chaos and confusion, there is the fear of those who seem to fit into the present complexity of their time, but who have not yet understood that self-sacrificin­g service, not accumulati­on of power, assets and influence, will better solve the riddles of life and keep us from slavery and insanity.

Though “kings” treat us as pawns, to be sacrificed, exploited and abused, after the game, the king and pawn go into the same box.
