millions/billions of years setback?

[old3bob]

 

It looks like the "Age of Aquarius" love in has gone down a deep rabbit hole somewhere being that most indicators now point towards millions or billions of years of setback as some of us along with demonic/adharmic forces drastically degrade the Earth realm where many souls normally need to reincarnate,  (per karma and aspects of human evolution)  Earth's ancient soul of beauty will recover Her full strength but it will take millions/billions of years of earth time, although only a "blink of an eye" in spiritual time ... in the meantime it's likely many of us souls will  be limited to various realms or in limbo, a few will make it to the pure/heavenly realms and beyond (since its always 5 o'clock somewhere), and many will suffer in the hell realms...  I'm sorry to be a party pooper but it looks like many of the lovely "plans of mice and men" mentioned here for "enlightenment" and or cultivation will be setback since they also need to include good Earth realm energy with a certain amount of a dharmic atmosphere/balance as part of their whole package to come about,  that is for souls with human karma's.   (which in the end does come about)

Sam Bercholz, the founder of Shambhala publications, had an NDE where he went to hell. In one location, there was a terrible and cruel tyrant who, during his life, has killed and tortured countless people under his reign. He was reborn in the shape of a mountain who was undergoing tremendous suffering due to the fires and discomforts of hell. Part of this was that his body was writhing and alive, composed of his followers who participated in the terrors. In addition, his body was ALSO composed of all the people who hated him, fusing together with him in their human life and the next life. In other words, hatred fuses us to the object of our hatred as much as devoted glee.

Not saying this should be taken literally, but feeding negativity for negativity's sake seems pointless. If anything, the faults of samsara should fuel renunciation from its promises, compassion for those in ignorance, and a stark determination to seek enlightenment so one can truly benefit sentient beings. The knowledge of the suffering of samsara is presented as the first step of the spiritual path, not the last.

right, becoming a new version of hate against what one hates is counterproductive, yet the spiritual battles and wars must still be fought in whatever form or in whatever realms they are taking place, trying to appease or look the other way against evil is dangerously naïve (including rambling on and on about non-duality or that everything is somehow ok) and brings about a greater suffering of fools play!  (terrible patterns have repeated over and over again for many millions of suffering people through the ages who can't just instantly escape to an astral or causal heaven;  I've also been on the other side and seen or shown some things )

It is the end of an era so it is natural that many social and power structures fall away - including those of surface Earth humanity.

 

Stand outside this solar system and have another look.  There is a galactic process that is doing well.   And it turns out that this planet is more useful than it appears from the human bottom up view

Stand outside the galaxies and have another look.  There is a Universal process that is doing well.   And it turns out that this galaxy is more useful than it appears from the  black hole  view  .
