AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I have observed more and more children in USA and other countries are Autism and have Down syndrome, in fact a friend told me one in every 40 child in USA is autistic, why is this happening? Is it the pressure of the consciousness? Is it Divine way of balancing the universe as Autistic people are simple as they are not cunning or mean or ambitious like they don’t have the mental traits like a mental human have, please shares your view on this🫤. 

It is difficult to say with certainty but a number of factors could be operating. 

Vaccination drives since few decades could be responsible for the resurgence of new diseases. Genetic modification of diet and an unprecedented exposure to chemicals of various kinds is another possibility. 

From the evolutionary point of view, there is no doubt that from the second half of the previous century, man’s spiritual, psychological, social, and even physical evolution has picked up an unprecedented fast pace leading to lot of upsetting of norms and confusion. It is likely that this has led, on the one hand of an evolutionary lag in many who are either falling out, resisting the evolutionary push or else, as you suggest branching out into new modes of living and ways of being with dropping out of certain old faculties and emergence of some new ones. Nature is indeed in an experimental mode as never before so everything is possible in this hour of the unexpected. 

Affectionately,

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
