Jim, I wrote: Now we are living in a world of dangerous extremes. Some feel anger, knowing that this didn't have to happen.
You wrote: Am I happy with what I see going on in the world? Yes and no. No, suffering appears to be continuing for an awfully lot of people. Of course that is the appearance. And yes, I have seen a huge improvement during my lifetime with regard to what people are able to accept and enjoy in their lives; openness of ideas, advances in technology, TM. Do I believe in my heart of hearts that the nuclear holocaust is imminent as your posting seemed to suggest? No, absolutely not. I do believe the main reason that Maharishi made his presence known through Guru Dev here on Earth is that we were irrevocably headed in that direction. Now we are not. REPLY Your conclusions regarding the safety of the world are based on a fair perception of the growth of positivity in the world. However: Only the awesomely uninformed would believe that nuclear issues are no longer a problem in our world. The growth of positivity has been absolutely phenomenal; but it has NOT been enough to prevent the escalation of the arms race. "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise", as the saying goes. Can you penetrate the veil of bliss and see anything else as well???? Along with huge waves of bliss, huge waves of stress are ALSO rocking this planet. There is NO perfect human being on earth who can be relied upon to preserve this planet. There are only the TM teachers who need to take back their power and do what needs to be done. Those who can, start doing what they love to do best, and go for it. We need to wake up and SMELL THE COFFEE. How much longer will you take what he dishes out? Why give away your own personal power like that? Stop confusing incompetent, unrealistic management with the cosmic actions of an Avatar, far beyond the intellectual grasp of us mere mortals. Wake up Jim! It is YOU who are cosmic. It is YOUR intentions for the world that count. MMY has a perfect grasp of eternal truths; he is also weak in the areas which I mentioned.
