Are we Alone? - The Others



"In My father's house are many mansions" : Jesus Christ - Matthew 7:7

In my school days we were told that we humans are alone in this vast endless universe which emerged from a Big bang. As such this intelligent life called humanity was just an accident. We emerged from the unknown and into the unknown we dissolve.

Introspection led me to my own conclusions. I was convinced that this life had a purpose. I was convinced that this universe (physical) could not be endless but that the boundaries were beyond human understanding or reach. Above all I was convinced that we were not alone; that this vast universe had other life forms.
The proof? - Us - We Humans!

If we existed others must exist too. Also that the mode of existence of other intelligent life forms may not be similar to our own. Nature gives us a variety in everything.. So we could have other life forms which existed without the need for food, oxygen or water. Perhaps they needed a different set of elements to exist on. For instance if we believe that all forms of existence need a certain temperature to exist then scientists found a microorganism called Hyperthermophilic archaebacteria in a variety of high temperature environments previously thought incapable of supporting life - including the active zone of erupting volcanoes. Thus it always baffled me as to why scientists always looked for water and oxygen on distant star bodies to conclude life on that planet.

Scientists estimate that there are some 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe. The earth belongs to the Milky way, which comprises approximately 300 billion stars, one of which is our own sun. In the entire observable universe there are thought to be a staggering billion trillion (10 raise to 21) stars.

"After all, the existence of intelligence is not a near zero probability matter since we exist. If, for instance, the probability were only one in a billion that near a given star there existed a technological civilisation, that would mean that in the universe as a whole, a trillion different civilisations would exist." Dr. Issac Asimov - Extraterrestrial Civilisations.

The Hindu scriptures tell us that there are higher levels or dimensions or lokas of existence. But here we are not talking just about them. For now we are talking also about other life on our Physical dimension. I was always keen to know what our ancient scriptures said on this matter, for unlike science our scriptures do not keep changing their point of view and have been sourced by Rishis.

"Advanced but still imperfect yogis who are disappointed in this world are given a chance to experience the happiness available in the bright astral spheres, or are allowed to reincarnate on other planets of the physical universe that boasts better conditions of existence than our earth." Sri Paramahansa Yogananda - God talks with Arjuna.


Extraterrestrials and Aliens are the 2 words often used to refer to other life forms.
Extra terrestrials simply means those not of this Terra - Earth. Aliens is defined as: Belonging to a foreign country or nation (or in this case) planet.

From a human viewpoint, foreign life form exists at 3 levels:

1) The Extraterrestrials or Aliens in other parts of our solar system or Milky galaxy or the universe beyond i.e. Venusians, Pleadians, Sirians, Arcturians.

2) The beings living on higher dimensions - Nature spirits, Advanced humans, Faeries, Leprechauns, Angels, Gnomes, Archangels etc

3) Beings who are technically Aliens but living on earth, both on earthly sphere like Inner earth and higher dimensions like Telos or Shambhalla / Shangrila etc.

In this note it is not important to understand each of these beings. An basic awareness should suffice.

Valiant Thor
When we think of an alien form we think some odd shape, face or, skin colored being with large eyes etc. This may not necessarily be so. Many of the aliens races are in fact Humanoids like us. If one of them were to walk amongst us, we wouldn't be able to single them out. One such being from Venus named Valiant Thor is well known in certain circles. He appeared in the 1950's to meet President Eisenhower. To a few who know him and wrote about him, He appeared to be a highly spiritual , benevolent and intelligent being. He had offered help to humanity through the American president. The help was rejected after study as ' it would affect the American economy domination'. My belief on the above strengthened after someone I personally know and respect, mentioned acquaintanceship with Thor and other Venusians, as She herself was one in the past.


Some scientists reject the theory of Alien life with the question : "If there is Alien life, where are they? or why haven't they contacted us?" . Some years later other scientists came up with an answer in form of the zoo hypothesis, which states that super-intelligent extraterrestrial life exists and does not contact life on Earth to allow for its natural evolution and development.

Alien visitations in form of UFO's are true. Despite being rubbished by official sources many people claimed to have seen UFO's around the world. During the Japan crises last year, there was a heavy presence of these UFO's which seemed to be monitoring the Fukushima nuclear plant. The videos of these UFOs were released by the Japanese and Chinese medias. However the western media completely blacked it out. Some of these videos are available on youtube.

Though various planets seemingly have their own isolated existence, the truth is all creation is interconnected. Extraterrestrial life forms have ever visited earth even from the biblical times and beyond. Their visitations became more prominent after the first Atomic bomb explosion.  In 1968 Erich von Däniken released a book called Chariots of the Gods which made very interesting connections between alien / UFO's and biblical descriptions of the same. The book was a bestseller and eventually became a documentary.

During the Atlantis and Lumerian times galactic visitations were as common as inter-country visitations. Nazca lines, Pyramids, Stonehenge etc have associations with these visitations. Upon the destruction of Atlantis some of the surviving souls were said to be hidden away into the inner earth and living there to this day. Many explorers have said that the earth is hollow and have living beings within. The Inner earth realm is known as Agartha. The openings to the Inner earth are from the north and south poles. Inner earth residents made themselves aware to 'surface humanity', as we are known there, after the atomic bomb testings. More about them in later postings.

Agartha


Many other evolved souls also exist in higher dimensional spheres on earth at the 6th n 7th dimensions. These beings are not visible to our eyes. Recently two evolved friends of mine who went to a certain resort in south India happened to come across such beings who shared with them that they have been dwelling there in the 6th dimension since centuries. Some of them were disciples of Sri Adi Shankaracharya and have been in the meditative state since the great Guru left

In our own ancient scriptures such as the Mahabharata, Puranas etc ample reference is made to other life forms who could easily visit or co exist on earth like the Gandharvas, Apsaras, Yakshas , Chinaras etc. The two major dynasties - the Solar dynasty of Sri Rama, and the Lunar dynasty of the pandavas had their source from higher beings in the Sun (Suryaloka) and moon (Chandraloka), who during the higher ages of Sat yuga mingled with earthly form and initiated this line.

It is said that we humans too are not indigenous to this earth that our own ancestry links us to other star systems like the Pleiades..that the only humans indigenous to earth are the Native American Indians and the Aborigines of Australia. This in a way throws to the bin Darwin's theory of evolution. The theory may be right from the amoeba to the monkey, but a human isn't a part of it.

Roswell - Insiders from Area 52 have revealed that the secret agencies of the US did lay their hands on alien technologies after some UFO's crashed there. Inside sources say that humanity has benefited in many ways through discoveries made since then. Everyday used technologies like laser, fiber optics which powers our internet, Teflon, Kevlar protection, LED light system, night vision etc are borrowed from these alien technologies. Insiders also say that they is in possession of much higher technology which can drastically change the way we live, for the better. But these technologies are being suppressed so as to keep their world domination through oil / petrol power.

A NASA insider said (disclosure project) that almost every picture taken by the satellites has UFO presence on it. So much so that in NASA there is  dedicated department whose job it is to photoshop these UFO's out before the picture is released to the public.


The Higher powers on earth in form of Governments of countries have given us the impression that either there is no alien life, that UFO's etc are nonsense, or that if there are such life forms - they are dangerous and threatening. Many stories of abductions etc have been floating around which are only partially true. 'Fear of the unknown' is a powerful tool. Either these aliens are not, or if they are they are to be feared. In the process we mirror our own minds on them. Look at any alien movie. The first thing we see an alien do is to take out its weapon and hurt us. Thats because we have that hostile mentality which we project on them as we fear them.

The insiders who have revealed information in the disclosure project, have gone on to say that these UFO's have been seen hovering around nuclear sites and have even known to disarm them. They say that these ET's have actively insured in many cases that we don't repeat a Hiroshima type incident.

That there are alien beings around us should not shock us. They have always been around. We were just not aware of them. What is amazing is how this matter has been covered up all along. This has to be the greatest secret ever maintained.

As humanity evolves we will find ourselves more in familiarity with our larger Galactic family. In the near future presence of UFO's may become a more familiar sight as these Galactic members are taking an active interest in helping Earth ascend to the higher vibrational spheres.

"Astronomers know that the earth belongs to a certain galaxy and that many island universes float in an infinitude circular space. Someday other inhabited physical planets will be discovered; there will be interplanetary communication and travel." Sri Paramahansa Yogananda - God talks with Arjuna, circa 1948.

Many of these UFO's are seen by people with the naked eye. Oftentimes the UFO's, not wanting to distract humanity,  camouflage themselves in form of a cloud during day and appear star-like at night. Also UFO's do not make themselves available to just anyone but only to certain souls on earth who live in a  certain frequency are thus able to perceive their presence.


                       



At this point in time many of these galactic beings are born on earth as one of us, to be the 'ground crew' to facilitate help to earth and humanity from the inside. Many of these beings may remember their source and purpose of incarnating on earth. Most are benevolent and spiritual by nature, who radiate light and love to help increase vibrations of the world around them. They are generally known as 'Lightworkers' further categorised as  Starseeds, Indigo children, crystal beings, wise ones etc. I have had the privilege to meet such humans, fellow light workers.


However, all said and done - the presence of ET life does not in any way make any difference to the higher goal of human life - to evolve from ego self to the soul selves that we are - an aspect of the Omnipresent spirit.

"Paramahansaji said that there is definitely life on other planets in this vast universe. But He did not discuss these matters much because His mission was to help devotees who truly want to know God. He was not interested in drawing people who would be attracted by sensationalism about subjects that may be fascinating but are spiritually useless. In Paramahansaji's view, one of the greatest fallacies in our western  ideas about spiritual progress is the tendency to think that communicating with other beings from other planets or from the astral worlds is a way to advance spiritually. Master was very definate in telling us that this is a mistake. In ever age God sends His enlightened incarnations with His message of liberation. There is no reason to think that any lesser being from some planet or realm is qualified or needed to give us God communion or realisation." Sri Daya Mata.

For those who are interested in knowing more I strongly recommend they download " THE DISCLOSURE PROJECT" a documentary where insiders from US armed forces reveal their experiences with UFO / ET's.

The Golden Age - Switching to the Full Alert Mode


Post the Dec 21st timeline, the already rapidly moving time has pressed the fast forward button and we will find the train of our lives accelerating towards the point of change where the tracks diverge into 2 - continuing in the 3rd dimensional track or switch to the 5th dimensional track. We have reached a crucial juncture where conscious choices will have to be made in every moment every action of our life; where we can no longer afford to ' take it easy ' .

We have to switch to the Full Alert mode.


CHANGES :

Majority of the people on earth are still unaware of the changes taking place around them. Many feel that life is just the same as it was a decade ago. On the other hand many sensitive souls have been awakening more and more to these changes on the higher spiritual levels. More of such people talk about opening up to newer awareness, of communing with the devic / angellic realms, of receiving greater inner guidance form their higher selves and messages of love received from beings and Masters in the higher dimensions.

So why such disparity?

This can be explained with an example. 

All of us live lives as if enclosed in a room. Many of us are too engrossed watching the worldly TV or working on the worldly 3D pc's - All this while the doors and windows of our rooms are closed keeping us unaware of the changes happening outside. 
The sensitive souls are those who have opened the windows of their rooms and can look outside. They are now noticing the night turn to dawn and express the same. Whereas the majority sitting inside their closed rooms feel there is no change and life is just as it always was because they are unaware of whats happening outside.


FULL ALERT / EMERGENCY MODE:

Everyone knows the virtues of a good diet and exercises in keeping the body healthy, yet many lead an unhealthy lifestyle, until ill health catches up and only when we reach a critical or emergency stage, do we seriously adhere to the rules of health and exercise religiously.

Lets just say that even in terms of Ascension, we have reached that critical / emergency stage, where we can no longer dilly dally or let our minds come up with excuses or let our lives be on the Auto - pilot mode.

It is time to WALK THE TALK.

We have to switch to the Full Alert mode. No longer can our efforts be limited to a couple of hours in the morning and evening towards our spiritual efforts. This has to be a full time, 24x7 effort. Every moment of our lives, every action, every word uttered has to reflect our efforts towards Ascension. To live in Constant Integrated Awareness is the need of the hour.


BEWARE:

..of your third dimensional (3D) mentality which may be telling you even now that all this is difficult or impossible.

Ascension is not a state you need to achieve. You are already Ascended. All you have to do is let go of all the 3D traits. We dont need to climb the ladder of Ascension. We are like a hot air balloon ready to float higher and higher. Only the weights of the 3D personality of ego, fear, anger, greed, desire, guilt, judgements are holding us down. Let go of them and you will naturally go higher. So do not be fooled by the mind which says this is tough.

Be bold, Be adventurous, Be heroic.

Also under no circumstance should you entertain fears in your heart; fear of being left behind or missing out. Any effort made out of fear is self defeating, as fear by its nature will pull you to 3D consciousness. You are Divine - have and ever will be. You can never be left behind. Some people wake early, some wake late... but everyone awakens one time or another as no one can sleep for ever. It is impossible. So act from the state of Love.


ASCENSION ENTRANCE EXAM:

The current times can be considered as an Ascension entrance exam. Majority of humanity is unaware of this exam and are utterly unprepared. Amongst the handful of humanity that are aware of this, many are preparing themselves, though a lot of them are taking it easy, and from the understanding i receive only a few will make it through this time. But that does not mean doors closed for the rest.

Those who will Awaken or Ascend will then play a significant role in helping their brothers and sisters in awakening and preparing for the next Ascension timeline. There are other important timelines post Dec 21st, 2012, which will propel earth into higher dimensional frequencies. I have learned that the years 2014-15, 2018 and 2022 leading to 2035 are important time markers.

When we are sleeping in a dorm amongst many others, if some people wake up early in the morning - a ripple effect takes place - Their awakening leads to other sleeping souls being disturbed and helps awaken them too. So also the awakening/ascending of these few souls will lead to them helping others to awaken.


WHAT TO DO?:

The one essential practice that we all should make an effort towards is - Shifting our conscious awareness from the body-ego state of name, form, personality, age, sex, nationality, religion, social standing etc etc to the state of Oneness / Atma awareness.

This is a basic yet most important shift from the 3rd dimensional state of ' I - ME' to 5th dimensional state of ' US - WE' . Breaking through the personality barriers surrounding us is of vital importance as this will naturally lead to mastering other 5D states. When we see ourselves us Atma consciousness we will not longer relate to others in the world as my friend, my family, my enemy, my neighbour etc. We will look upon all as an extension of our Atma selves. From that Atmic consciousness the only thing that will come out of us - will be of Love; be it action, thought or word.

At this point in time so many tools of ascension are being made available that sometimes we become confused as to what we should follow. Many fear that by not following some technique or some meditation we may be missing out on something. Never hold fear. Trust God. What is best for you will be made available through some mode or another. Remember that beings in the higher realms are working overtime to give us support at this crucial hour. Amongst all the tools available follow only those which you resonate with and which you think leads you to greatest progress.The ancients in every culture left us with important tools to progress spiritually. We can take to such tools to help our efforts. 

In my own understanding I have learned that Vedic mantras such as Rudram as extremely potent and effective in converting negative energies to positive energies. Furthermore recently during a meditation, I was made aware of the potency of the Gayatri mantra in aiding the Ascension effort.

Ascension is about increasing our inner light quotient; what better tool then the mother of all mantras - the Gayatri - which is a prayer to the cosmic Divine Light to illuminate us to our effulgent Divine nature. Gayatri is non-denominational as the Sun, the presiding deity of this mantra, is non denominational - and so can be used by anyone.


I pray that all of humanity awaken to the truth that We Are Divine and may our lives be filled with Joy, love and laughter - AND SO IT IS!!

Love and Light
I AM,
YOURSELF

The New Symptoms of Ascension - 2.0


A wife was worried about her husbands eating habits. Not only had he steadily gained too much weight, he also constantly complained of aches around his chest and stomach among other parts of his body.  Out of a sense of duty as a wife, she thought she should speak to her husband asking him to mend his ways towards healthy living.

The husband sat Buddhalike listening to his wife’s loving yet pleading suggestions. As she finished, he laughed out loud, leading his surprised wife to the internet and showing her an article on Symptoms of Ascensions. A puzzled wife looked at him wondering what he was driving at. The husband then exclaimed “Don’t you see dear one.. I am not unhealthy.. I am Ascending!!”


As the New age energies flood the earth it is natural for people to feel the effect of the energies at the physical level. What is funny is how people in all sincerity feel that the physical symptoms are the key, if not the only, signs of Ascension.

The Devas through devasunlimited share that the true ascension will be inner, from a dense to a Devic consciousness.  So, do not seek a Golden age outside, uncover the Golden Age within. The heaven outside will be a reflection of the paradise within. Hence the Vedic saying  “Yatha Drishti, tatha Srishti” - as is your view, so is your world! Not the state of your body, but the state of your consciousness will be a better indicator of Ascension.

I thought it would be a fun idea to write a new list of symptoms of ascension, perhaps with the added help of my friends reading this note.  Here goes:

Inner Symptoms of Ascension –

1. Omnipresence :  The overwhelming feeling that ‘God is everywhere and everything.’  Not just in fellow humans or suffering beings, not only in animals and plants but even inanimate things. Even the hard and dusty floor and walls or the wooden cabinet or this computer; sitting in front of which for  too long may spoil your eyes! As Sri Paramahansa Yogananda once wrote “A marble floor on which I stood one day thrilled me because of Thy presence within it.”  This feeling of Omnipresence naturally leads to a state of…

2. Being a Witness : Sometimes while walking through a crowded street I often find my I taking a back seat and becoming just a witness to the chaotic panorama of which I too am a part, to whose chaos I too contribute. I witness my ego err, I witness my fears, I witness my efforts, I witness my little joys and victories, I witness the dramas of life around me,  I witness this dream called life, and it leads me to an inner feeling of..

3. Oneness :  Like thousands of leaves to a tree, like millions of waves to an ocean, we are all rooted in the One I. As such each being is a variety of yourself. When you think you hate someone, you hate an aspect of yourself; and when you Love someone you…

4. Love All : The most important and telling symptom. A feeling of true causeless love. You don’t  just love someone or something; rather sometimes even if for the briefest of seconds you become Love.  As such you don’t reason, judge or measure to love; there is no effort involved in sharing or giving.. You become love itself and life rejoices in you.

5. Acceptance : Every aspect of life flowing towards you, good or bad, becomes easy to accept. Because you understand that God in His wisdom choose those experiences for you, to make you grow, to awaken you in your true self. You look forward to the day in excitement wondering what He has in store for you, and then whatever comes you accept it with faith and surrender, Love and..

6. Gratitude :  One of the most wonderful and beneficial feelings to live with. A sense of Gratitude for all that was, is and will be. Always breathe in love and breathe out Gratitude.

7. Ego : You become aware of your ego at work. You realize and recognize it even as it raises its sometimes ugly head in so called justified self defense. This is not just the arrogant ego but also the subtle ego, the humble ego and the most dangerous one – the spiritual Ego, which in the guise of utter pious humility, poisons the fruits of every spiritual effort you make.
Yet you also realise the place ego has in our lives. Sri Paramahansa Yogananda once shared with His disciples that when in the state of Cosmic consciousness, it sometimes becomes difficult for Him to know who He is amongst the millions of bodies that He feels at once across the universe. Hence ego is a tool that helps us be aware of our individuality.

8. New, speedy lessonsOne will notice that wisdom comes to you in abundance from known, unknown and inner sources. An inner-voice ever guides me on what to accept as beneficial for the soul and what to ignore as transitory. Something exciting that I may have learned on a day very quickly becomes old news as newer lessons await me.

9. Inner Guidance : There is this wise guiding voice within that is not at my beck and call but will make its presence felt when least expected. Not when I am in turmoil, panic or fear do I hear it; but ever in the state of calm it speaks to me through my own reasons. It gently guides, encourages or even pushes me towards something that I ought to do (including writing this note). It ever shows me the true way and disappears when I am keen to hold my own. It is never Pro-me, ever Pro-right! I feel this inner Guidance getting stronger with time.

These are not states that one may live in 24x7, yet their momentary presence in us overwhelms the ordinary states that we usually dwell in.


There are other souls who may experience other symptoms and hopefully someone will be willing to add to the list for the benefit of us all! 

So – Wakey, wakey, Rise and Shine!!

The Golden Age - An understanding 2


Coming back to the Golden Age - If the coming year is about moving into a Golden Age then what about all the apocalypse and destruction prophecies associated with 2012?

Lets understand this with the help of an example.
Lets say you have a house which is old and in dire need of renovation. Now when you do renovate the house, a lot of the old structure may have to be broken down in order to facilitate the renovations. Also there will be many old and useless things which do not go along with the new look of the house. Such things will be discarded or thrown out. Such actions are necessary without which your house will continue remaining old. So would you call this apocalyptic destruction or renovation for the new and better?


Look at the world around you - our economic, political, social, educational systems are extremely weak, corrupted and poor and leave a lot to be desired. Unless we bring drastic changes in all the 'systems' we live in, the Golden age cannot manifest. Changes, which most people fear as apocalyptic, will be needed to root out the old and bring in the new. These changes may  lead to loss of some lives and destruction's, but they also play an important role in cleansing our consciousness. The changes have already been happening, much before the feared 2012, in form of earthquakes, tsunami's, wars, terrorist attacks and hurricanes the world over. Look into the last decade and you will see how many of these calamities we have already undergone. We not only witnessed the death and destruction that took place in Japan, but in a way we lived it too through the sufferings of our fellow souls. Such events are like a wake up call to all humanity forcing it to examine its existence and actions.

Those who want to hold on to the imperfections of the 3D world  may view 2012 as some apocalypse. To those who look forward to ascending to their Higher selves, the same 2012 is a gateway to Paradise. Its all about how you choose to see it.


Another question in regards to this is - Will all of humanity ascend to the Fifth Dimension?

Fact is the opportunity is available to each soul present here on earth. It depends on the individual whether he / she takes it or not. At this stage majority people of the world are quite lost in the delusions of the third dimension and do not seem ready to make this necessary shift.

Let us understand it like this - Think of humanity living in the kali yuga like people living in the dark night. Because there is darkness around, most are unable to see the truth, unable to see the dirt and filth around them or even on them, but continue living in errors, evils and faults. Now if these people were told that something known as a bright sunlight is going to come upon them, not all may want to embrace this change, specially those who are too comfortable with the darkness of the night and the evils it permits.Many may look forward with relief to the coming dawn, but others not willing to face the bright rays may wish to hide in some dark cave to continue living the way they wish. There may also be many who although may wish to see the sunlight, may not be ready or able to bear the fierce, bright rays.

All souls who do not choose to be a part of this change will be given an opportunity to continue living in another 3 dimensional world like the earth. The wise have mentioned though, that the next such opportunity may be available to humanity only after a period of some 25000 yrs - a Mahayuga.


As we near the Golden Age many feel that the world is entering into more and more darkness instead of shedding light because they see more and more evil and corruption around them. This infact, is the sign of the coming new age. Fact is this evil and corruption always existed but couldn't be seen. As the first light of the new age dawns, it reveals these evils which were hidden in the kali age. And so we see revolutions around the world taking place against them, whether it is in Egypt or the Anna hazare movement in India, or the Wall street movement in the US.

In order for humanity to be a part of the Golden Age, not only must we be willing to give up our old baggage s of faults and errors that we have been living with all this time, but we must be willing to embrace the idea of living selflessly in love and cooperation with Mother earth, our fellow humans, plants and animals, and our souls.




So what will the Golden age be like?

Whereas one cannot use the 3rd dimensional mental faculties to perfectly gauge and measure life in the higher age, some aspects do make themselves clear.

Issac Tigrett said ' In the Golden Age, humanity will move from - I & ME  to US & WE.'  To live in I & Me is living in contraction, to live in US & WE is living in expansion. Think about it - if humanity at large does live in the US & WE consciousness, we may not need the police system or the military system or the Judicial system or even the banking system. No laws or rules constantly binding us. The one force we all will be answerable to is our own Conscience. That in itself is a drastic change from our current style of living.

The spiritual texts say that the outer world is a reflection of our inner world. The chaos and clutter we presently see without is a reflection of the collective stress and fear consciousness that humanity has within. If our innerworld evolves to pure levels where we dwell in the expansive US & WE state, the outer world too will reflect our inner beauty back to us by taking on a wondrous form that we have heard or read about in myths and fairy tales. It is also said that mind is the wielder of the muscles or the body. Our bodies too are expected to evolve to become almost diseaseless and perfect. Our DNA is to upgrade from the current 2 strands to 12 strand DNA. Greater abilities, which we currently consider paranormal or which only few people are blessed with, will become part of everyday living.


Master Duono, a Belgium mystic, described the coming times  in 1917 :

 “When we enter [the New Epoch], we will be as free as those who are our Advanced Brothers: the Angels, the Archangels, the Cherubim and the Seraphim..In that new age, everyone “will have such freedom as when God first gave it to them.” ...The inner wealth, the knowledge which a person possesses, will be available to all. Now you are provided with air, light and water. One day the bread too will be given to you like the air, the water and the light. …In the new Order, everything old will disappear and all things will be completely new. …Somebody may say, ‘When we are perfect, what will we do?’ -- We will then begin to live! 


So, if you are wondering - what should we do now to be part of this grand change? The answer simply may be to look within yourself and acknowledge and let go of all those traits, habits and other baggage s which you may have created to help you deal with or rather survive in this third dimensional world. Renounce your arrogance or over sensitivities, the fault findings or the self loathing, the superiority or inferiority complexes,  your grudges, hurts, judgements, fears, hatred or vengeance. Just as even one hair sticking out of a thread will prevent it from entering into the eye of the needle, so also any one of the 3 dimensional flaws will prevent our ascension. Let go of them all, for they have no place in the Golden Age.

Love all, serve all, Help ever, Hurt never.

The wise have said "The Golden age will dawn within us. We need not wait for 2012. If we give up our emotional baggage and clutter today we will find ourselves already living in the Golden Age. We are at the crossroad where numerous old issues reach their crisis point. All of these issues are specifically designed to help push us through, to bring us to the point of having a quantum breakthrough. The key is : dealing with your mind, which will tell you again and again that its difficult, impossible or that you are right to hold on to your pains and grudges. Beware of it and let go.."


A final thought.

This world is Maya or illusion. As such, the concept of the Golden Age is also part of this illusion. But it is an important part which enables us to peep through this illusion to help realise our reality. Our aim in life, is not just the Golden age. The true aim of every soul is Self Realisation.
In 2010 i met a highly evolved soul named Johnima, who shared something very important. He said that the time between now and the emergence of the Golden age is the most precious and best time to perform our sadhana (spiritual practices) for self realisation as all the effort put in now will yield immense returns. Once we enter the Golden age, our sadhana may not bear as many fruits as they did in the Kali age.
To understand this we may take the example of a gym. We go to the gym and work on heavy weights which cause us pain and stress, but then lead us to getting healthier and stronger muscles. Being in the kaliyuga was like going to such a gym as life in the Kali yuga was heavy. Because life in the Golden age will be 'light' we will be required to make more efforts spiritually to get the results that being in the kali age would have brought us.

We are on the brink of a change, and the little time we have left is precious. It is almost like the train waiting on the platform - ready to leave anytime, while some of us are half asleep on the station. We need to wake up and Now.

May God fill all lives with Love, Light and Laughter.

The Golden Age - An understanding 1



Change is the only constant known to humanity. This change, in a way keeps us going, or rather evolving - preventing us from being stagnant. Every day we see this change as night changes to dawn, dawn to noon, noon to evening and night comes again. In the bigger picture we see summer turn to fall, fall to winter, winter to spring and the cycle continues.

In our current state of development we understand and accept changes pertaining to what we see daily or yearly. Perhaps that’s because our own lifespan of an average of 60 odd years, mentally permits us only that range. But there is a bigger concept of time known to most ancient cultures of the world. In Hindu science it is known as Yugas.

Just as we have 4 different seasons over the span of a year, which affect us on the physical level, in the larger picture of the Yugas too we have 4 different phases which affect us at our Consciousness level. So we have the darkest age called the Kali Yuga where mankind is almost completely out of touch with the divinity latent within and the dependence is absolutely on the 5 senses and ego/mind. A step higher is the Dwapara Yuga or the bronze age – here the intellect functions at a higher level to about approximately 25 – 50% of its capacity. Then comes the silver or Treta Yuga, where again we function at a much higher level – in about 50 – 75% of our capabilities. Finally we have the Golden Age, the Sat Yuga where we become the humans we were intended to be. Godlike. ( A  better understanding of the Yugas  and how and why do they affect our consciousness can be understood from the book  The Holy Science by Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri.)

Thus the concept of the Golden Age is not of a magical or mystical nature. It is a natural event.

Most of us have heard all kinds of stuff about 2012. Some don’t believe it, some accept it and the majority fear it. How is this 2012 related with the Golden Age? According to the mayan calendar and even the western astrology, when the earth enters 2012 it enters the Age of Aquarius, it enters the era of the Golden Age.

So what does that mean – come 2012 the world will suddenly become a paradise?

Nature always has a gradual way of transiting from one phase of time to another. Just as night dosent change to noon in a second, or winter dosent change into summer in a day, so also we will not just transit into the Golden age from our current dark age, merely in a years time.

When we think Pacific ocean we think of its deep waters. If we were to go to a beach in Hawai and dip our feet on the shores, technically we would be in the pacific ocean, although the real pacific ocean is miles away and miles deep then the ankle deep water we are standing in – nevertheless we are in the pacific ocean. So also 2012 is the beginning point of the Golden Age, and it is from here that we leave behind the old and embrace the new.

In our own solar system when the earth moves closer to the sun we get the summer season, and away from it we get the winter season. We know that the moon has a duel in earth around which it revolves, the earth has a duel in the sun around which it revolves, Similarly the sun has a duel in another star system in our galaxy around which it revolves along with our whole solar system. This star has its duel in the central sun of our galaxy. In the Hindu scripture this central sun is known also as the Seat of Brahma or the Vishnunabhi. ( The navel of Lord Vishnu )

Now when the sun along with its planets, while revolving around its duel, goes closest to this Central sun - we enter the Golden age. When we are the furthest away from it, we go in the Kali Yuga.( More details in ' The Holy Science' )

Whereas our sun emits light and heat, the Central sun emits light which is capable of elevating consciousness.

At this point it is necessary to understand the concept of Dimensions.

Dimensions are frequencies of existence more than spaces of existence is the best way i can describe it.

We know that everything around us is energy vibrating at different rates. So on the First dimension we have the Individual pranic energy and Mineral Kingdom. In the second we have the Plant kingdom. In the third dimension we have the Animal kingdom and our Human life. In the 4-5th dimensions we have Humans of a much higher evolution. The 6-10th dimensions have the Angelic and Ascended masters realms. The 11- 14th dimensions have Beings beyond our human comprehension.
Beyond the 14th dimension is God, the dimensionless Absolute.
This is a very basic understanding of the different dimensions, given here only to understand them in context to the Golden Age.

As the earth enters the Golden age, it will ascend from a 3rd dimensional place of existence to the 5th dimension. This provides a rare opportunity for us humans to evolve along with it. The wise say that it is for this reason that the earth is over populated with 7 billion souls most of who knowing of the coming opportunity came to earth from amongst the countless other souls who wished to be here too, to use this rare opportunity to evolve themselves. Some say that coming to earth at this point in time is like winning a lottery ticket.

If we look at the world around us, most seem to be in ignorance of these facts, which is to be expected as when we take on a human form our abilities to perceive truth becomes dense owing to our dependence solely on the limited senses and intellect. But as much as many souls don't recall this fact; there are very many who do. These souls are evolved enough to keep traces of memory within them in different proportions to help them know their purpose of coming on earth. Majority of these people embrace a spiritual life or principles early on in life. They are more spiritual beings then religious people. Some of them may not appear to act spiritual as conventionally understood but they live in the highest principles. Many of these souls know that they have incarnated not only to evolve along with the earth, but infact to help the process of earths ascension, by bringing light through their loving actions and right living. Such souls are broadly known as Lightworkers. Although they are fully human, many of them have memories of being from another life system in the universe like Pleadians, Venusians, Acturians etc. Many also are aware of their being from higher 5th, 6th, 7th dimensions.

I am aware of many such beings who not only remember who or where they were from in their past, but many also remember their roles on earth in previous lifetimes, even during the Mahabharata and Ramayana periods (Indian sacred texts).  I was made aware of myself being a lightworker and I know that many who read this are also such souls who have come to bring light on earth at this crucial time even though they have no recollection of this.

I am encouraged to add that none of us must use this to think higher or lower of themselves or others. The one fact is that every living, non living being has its roots in the One God and as such higher or lower dimension, lightworker or not - all are the same, all are Atma, all are love.

3. The Lives we live


Imagine a person who comes to a new town for a job. He finds a rented house to live in. He works very hard, but spends all his time, effort and hard earned money in needlessly decorating and splurging on that rented house which he will have to vacate one day soon.

What would you call such a person? - Foolish?

Yet how different are we from him. We too live in a rented body, but we spend all our lives trying to cater to its demands and tastes, and waste this precious opportunity called life. 

Stop and observe this life you live.

We are too busy living life, running from one end to another.  Its been like this since we were born. As children we ran after toys and candies; as youth we run after our images, personalities, the opposite sex; as grown ups we chase work and family; once the family comes in place, our chase for money and necessities doubles, we then run around for our children, their education, their jobs, their marriages; till old age catches up - then we run after our health.  And one day when we least expect it, it all comes to a sudden end.  

To what end is such a life lived?
Why do we live?
What is life?
What power governs and controls the various forms of intelligence obviously present in nature?
What is this higher power or Who is God?
Who are you?

The Hindu scriptures refer to a power called Maya, an intelligent force that keeps us in a state of delusion. Using its allies of the mind and ego, maya keeps us in delusion by feeding us with desires and passions, chasing which we exhaust all our energies, all our lives; and thus forget seeking our truth.

Many people live under the notion that we live only once and so we ought to enjoy life, enjoy the freedom we have, and so they live a life pursuing pleasures thinking they wont be held accountable for what they do. 

If we just use common intelligence to gauge all life around us, we will find adequate proof that what we do, has consequences. In science it is stated as "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction." In spirituality it is known as the Law of karma "What you sow, so shall you reap." Every aspect of your life from the minutest to the biggest is a result of this karmic law from the past

This world is a spiritual gymnasium, a spiritual university. We think we live in freedom but we don't realise that we are imprisoned 24x7 by the demands of the body, imprisoned by our ceaseless thoughts, imprisoned by our desires,  imprisoned by food and water for which man even resorts to the worst kind of violence; imprisoned by air, water and sunlight without which we cannot survive, imprisoned by the atmosphere and gravity restricting our options to travel out anywhere. 

So how and why do we take life for granted?

Not all men do. Many are seeking answers. 

It is said that in the beginning of civilization, the wise men of the west and east began looking for answers. The wise men of the west were keen to understand the world without and so began looking outside of themselves - searching and analyzing nature around them. Thus they excelled in Science.

The wise men of the east sought to understand themselves first before they could understand the world, so they delved within themselves to search their mind and soul. Thus the east excelled in Spirituality.
 
Man is not just the body, he is also the mind and soul. As long as he pursues the needs of the body, neglecting the needs of the mind and soul, so long he will never be happy. The ideal formula to live life to the fullest then is to balance the teachings of the east and west and cater harmoniously to the body, mind and soul.


Many live lives like biological robots. That is an insult to our Divine nature. Some may ask “Is our nature really Divine? How do I know that?”  In the answer to that question lies the very secret of our cause of existence.

The purpose of our lives is not merely to indulge in senses and desires, but to understand our true reality as souls, as waves of the Divine Ocean; as children of God!

"We are not human beings seeking divine experience,
We are divine beings undergoing human experience."

: Sri Paramahansa Yogananda.
