Struggle Across the Ages
Now this is just speculation on my part – a wondering about the game I see around me. I’ve spoken of it in other posts here. I think Life is a Game, one where there are accepted Rules, there are Boundaries or Limits, there is an Objective and there are Players. My internal jury is still out on whether there are Umpires or not – perhaps we perform that role as well or maybe Karma is some kind of inanimate evaluation system to keep score as we go.
So I’m wondering about this game. Across every race, every religion of which I’ve heard or read, there is talk of a Golden Age. Perhaps Walter Cruttenden is correct and there’s a cosmic reason why the Golden Age has passed us, and perhaps also his speculation that we are heading back into one is also right. Certainly the Greek myths would agree with their four ages of Gold, Silver, Bronze and Iron, and the Hindus, who believe we are currently in the lowest Age, the Kali Yuga, and heading upwards again after thousands of years steadily passing down through the levels of awareness and energy.
I wonder, when I look around and see how many struggle on a daily basis to find enough concentration to make it through their day, when I hear and see those who face a struggle which takes all their time and energy just to get enough to live, whether maybe things aren’t as they were meant to be. Is it possible that something has gone wrong and we are trapping ourselves in a world from which fewer every day can find the will to rise instead of sink?
