In Decent - In Extremis

I am sad to discover that, or to realize that, we (humanity) are in decent. To conceive of our collective decent in our age of darkening. The Vedic Traditions describe our current state as one in decline into a dark age, in a never ending juxtaposition of ascending and descending periods of human condition.



The “Kali Yuga” as I understand it, is the darkening of our spiritual state. And I Agree, we are sliding into darkness. How far do we yet have to slide? How much darker will it get become for us? I do not know. I suspect that the grey shadows we now enjoy now will go on down to pitch black before the dawn.



I wish I knew where in the scale of decent we were, so there to have solace of hope for the timing of the new dawn of a light (enlightened) age. Some will tell you that they know when the dawn will break, but they too are in the dark descent and wholly blind of what true light awaits. I suspect that there are yet generations condemned to further, increasing darkness. Herein lays my depression.



I will only take succor to know that, at some point in some future time, our descendants will break forth into the light of a new age of enlightenment. But I only expect a further lack of illumination for myself and my kin. Light a candle in your soul until then.
