I think we all who aspire for a better world, a better tomorrow, will agree that there is much in this world that needs to change. One of the things that stands in the way of human evolution towards the higher spiritual consciousness is the narrow bigotry of religions as well as of intellectual ideologies. Medieval religions have entrenched too deeply into the human consciousness and all the narrow creeds have shut their doors to further advance of mankind. In short, hardcore ideologies and narrow religions, however useful they might have been or were in the past, have become a major stumbling block to further human evolution and a huge roadblock to further spiritual advance.Β
This is, however, just the beginning. While this war is unlikely to drag on for long, more are likely to emerge in the thirties, given the strong resistance in human consciousness to the future. If you want a parallel, it is like the destruction of the empire of Daksha because it would not invite Shiva, the spirit of eternal freedom. That is what we are witnessing today and will see more of in the times to come, spreading in different ways and rising up in different regions, either as a spirit of revolution within groups or as pressure from outside through wars. The US-Iran war may be the beginning of the collapse of the Islamic World.Β
Of course, people get into the right and the wrong of it. But these right-and-wrong judgments from a necessarily limited human perspective, which is necessarily human-centric, do not apply to cosmic powers, especially those of Rudra and Kali. These forces act according to the demands of the Divine Will in creation, and for the moment, the Divine Will is supporting a greater spiritual evolution, towards which hard-organised religions offer great resistance.Β
Affectionately,
