We live in the dark ages. If an intelligent society can destroy itself in large numbers and places the largest amount of revenues in instruments of destruction, it is certainly not an evolved society or an intelligent society.
The teaching that we receive is not necessarily very accurate. The value systems that our cultures have developed are not every open. They are very restrictive. We live in an age that is not enlightened.
This is still a very primitive age, and I’m afraid they may not get much further here.
The imbalance I speak of in the world, which we see manifested in wars, violence, poverty and other depressed social conditions stems from a lack of knowledge.
In a time of continued population growth the consequences are devastating, needless to say. The Earth is too crowded already in terms of aura, and it’s growing at 20 percent a decade.
There is a world of deaf, dumb and blind people out there, who are shuffling through their lives, not knowing how wonderful life can be. They have their moments, but they are very unconscious.
Human beings going to their jobs and living their lives are unconscious. They don’t know what’s going on. They don’t know why you are born or why you die.
The human mind generates an auric field that covers up naturalness, innate divinity of life. That auric field is a field of doubt.
That’s why we call this a dark age. It’s a dark age in the sense that there are so many people on the earth who are un-attuned that they create such a level of white noise, in a sense, that it drowns out things that we’d like to see.
The condition of humankind is not good, in the sense that the illusory prisons we create for ourselves through our desires and our frustrations are unhappy.
Very few people are happy in this world. Most are miserable. Even in their so-called happiness, they are unhappy; it is so short of ecstasy, of god-consciousness; it’s almost pitiful.
What these people do here is obviously not working. They sit in their commuter traffic hour after hour. They make the earth a toxic waste dump.
They’ve got lots of theories, books, sciences – I’ve read a lot of those books. Most of them are pretty unhappy.
In the dead world of the Western mind all that is seen are shades of gray. There’s a cloud over every experience. There’s no possibility of divine incarnation, divine intervention, let alone that one’s self in every moment is divine.
Philosophers are all caught up in their philosophies. That’s their house of cards. Religious leaders are caught up in their religious movements to the point where they forget about freedom. Everybody’s got their drama going.
The planet earth is a sub-world, way below what’s average, because if an enlightened being walked through New York City today, no one would see him or her. They wouldn’t see the glow.
What we see in this world is a gross abnormality. The human consciousness fails to perceive the very simple, divine nature of every atom in every moment.
When we see a hero, on the one hand, we applaud them; on the other hand, there is something in a lot of people that wants to tear the hero down.
It wasn’t until after living in California for many years that I realized that you don’t believe what anybody says, ever. Whatever they say, they’re just making a movie – they just like the way they sound.
It doesn’t pay to listen much to what human beings have to say in their evaluation of you, since they don’t evaluate themselves very properly.
