A couple who has been married for thirty years goes on vacation, and an argument breaks out. It escalates into a major blowup and ends in a decision to divorce.
Everyone would agree it would be foolish to analyze what went wrong on the vacation — the food, the hotel, the scenery — and blame that for the breakup.
In most cases, couples like these have been accumulating numerous problems for years, sweeping them under the rug one by one. All it took was a single trigger for everything to erupt and come to the surface.
The same is true for what is happening in the world today.
To believe that competing political interests are the cause of all the chaos raging around us is exactly like believing that a couple reached the boiling point because something on their vacation didn’t go well.
Someone whose perspective is limited to the earthly and material world can only do one thing: analyze the political and economic moves of those who hold power, and grow frustrated and resentful in the process.
But someone deeply familiar with the prophecies concerning the Final Judgment of the End of Days knows that everything now coming to the surface is nothing more than the result of the pressure of the Power of the Light.
We are living in a time when we are reaping the rotten fruit of what humanity has sown over thousands of years. Looking for someone to blame will not help us. What can help is a deep understanding of the true cause that has brought us to this point, and the remedy it points toward: the alignment of the spirit with the Laws of Creation.
There is another important point worth making here.
To think of spirituality as something you escape into — like a drug, to calm yourself down and take a break from the madness — is a misconception.
Spirituality — or more precisely, spiritual consciousness — is the ability to view reality from the highest possible perspective and to understand its broader context.
When science advances one step beyond quantum physics — which has already opened the gateway to the non-material — it may well discover what people with highly developed spiritual consciousness have known for thousands of years:
There is a consciousness that does not originate in the brain. It does not perish at death — it is eternal. The point through which it connects to our physical body is the solar plexus. This is the spirit.
The prophets, for example, possessed a highly developed spiritual consciousness. This is why they could perceive the true causes of destruction and exile long before those events took place.
Therefore, in this period, we are all called to a spiritual awakening. It does not only give us the ability to grasp the higher and broader context of what this period is asking of us. It also carries within it the eruption of the greatest power that exists within us.
The power of the spirit, which gives us true hope of becoming new human beings, who will build the new world.
