Our Current Cycle
Over the past 35 years I have been asked many times to comment on what is the current cycle of where we are as people who are evolving. And even in the earliest part of the 1990s I was telling people that we would get a little bit more intense than less so because I would tell them you cannot temper steel in a cold fire.
What that means is that in my days as a machinist if you were making a chisel you would have to get the steel hot enough so that when you quench it, it would achieve the right hardness to be able to function perfectly. If it wasn't hot enough then the chisel would not achieve the desired hardness.
We are living in an age that has been predicted by many ancient cultures, and I've studied these cultures for over 30 years and lectured on their understanding of the rhythm and cycles of not just time but of consciousness itself. In other words, when a certain consciousness should show up.
This current era for cycle that you and I are experiencing is showing such rapidity and simultaneity of growth that it can feel like it's almost impossible to keep up when in fact speaking bluntly, there's nothing to keep up with. And I don't mean that cynically, it's just that our true self, our spiritual self always knows what to do and when to do it.
There are so many distractions in this current cycle that it is driving us inward, to look to the inner parts of ourselves that are the spiritual connection to where the true power really is. And that's why I will tell my students to maintain a very strong inner focus while also being outwardly flexible.
This cycle that was predicted by ancient cultures that I have studied extensively, is a time when we are taught to understand the existence of what are called subtle energies, these are qualities that cannot be measured directly but can be measured scientifically indirectly, such as the meridians, the chakras, and the human biofield. These cultures and their teachings have codified cycles and rhythms overtime that represent where our consciousness would be able to grasp higher orders of awareness and this very era today is that time!
Still even though being able to measure the existence of subtle energies itself is not enough, but rather to recognize that we ARE those subtle energies that hold our physical presence in this lifetime!
Since those early 1990s I have been telling people that it would get harder before it gets easier because of that idea of tempering the steel. But what happens when there is so much going on is it causes us to move more inside to that inner realm where the peace within us has always dwelt and always will. And that is where the true power comes and that is why these eras were predicted by so many ancient cultures for you and I to learn from their lived experiences of understanding these cycles and rhythms of consciousness.
It has become increasingly difficult to tell the truth from fiction, the imagined from the real, and a real image or video to AI generated illusion. This is where our real task is, to be as stable as the base of a pyramid. A structure whose base is not easily tipped over and This is why there is also so much learning available from people who have externalized their inner wisdom from these ancient teachers to be able to help others to truly be self-empowered, self-realized and thus not easily distracted from their inner selves.
Find a spiritual teacher who can guide you to your inner strength, your inner truth. Maintain your spiritual practices, your yoga philosophy and practice, and maintain a vigorous inner search for the truth. Do your own research and study there is an enormous amount of real information available to you. This is where true stability exists in this current era.
