Thank you for reading, Rebecca! It is only in recent years that I discovered the work and legacy of Paramahansa Yogananda and Swami Sri Yukteswar. I was looking for correlations with Mayan cosmology. In fact it was the work of Walter Cruttendon at the Binary Research Institute that led me to their great works: 
http://binaryresearchinstitute.com/bri/
Highly recommended is their podcast show on i-tunes (free) - you can link to it from here:
http://binaryresearchinstitute.com/bri/home/about-us/radio/

I think that it is exactly the lack of truth everywhere that will call us back to it, because I think deep inside of us is a deep desire for truth - in a vacuum of truth one can only but set yourself on a path to seek it out - so in that way the universe also assists us in returning to the truth. If the truth was all around us we may have taken it for granted. 

For me the takeway from the nature of polarity is that we can always see a positive side to the dark side in terms of it being a catalyst of some sort to bring about improvement or positive change - but it only works that way if we see it that way. Sometimes things are so dark that it’s very difficult to see any light to it - it can be very difficult, but this is an advanced training platform that we are on, and so it&#039;s perhaps not meant to be an easy one. 

I always remind myself that due to the nature of the cycles there is always light after dark / after dark there is always light. It can just take longer than we wish it to, but in the meantime we can seek out the light in the dark - moreover we can bring the light in through our own compassion and love for the world, since that is the light that we carry within. 

Thank you very much for considering to list my article - you are most welcome, Rebecca. The next chapter should be ready by next Friday.  ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Great article, Jean-Jacques.  Look forward to the next installments!  Amazing how similar our interests are.  Swami Sri Yukteswar was Paramahansa Yogananda&#039;s mentor/teacher and was quite astounding in his own right. (Autobiography of a Yogi was one of my favorite books.) Your other sources are solid also as you further explore the function of polarization and the astro-predictions of the Mayan Calendar and the Vedic energy cycles. I do agree with you, Collective Consciousness only evolves when spurred by challenges that allow people to realize their true dissatisfaction with their current status quo; and sometimes it takes serious discomfort to shake us into a desire to change our lives.  And I do personally find abhorrent the present societal apathy toward determining what constitutes TRUTH and what is NOT TRUTH. But I also know that as you mentioned, societies tend to cycle from one extreme to the other, so hopefully we start turning that tendency back toward valuing TRUTH again. Look forward to your next installment!  Great article. Hope you don&#039;t mind if I mention you in my next post and list your article html there for others to check out.]]></description>

Norral, thank you for your thoughts - you are right, we are far away from that right now. It is true what you say - this planet can be incredibly frustrating for people who care about the preservation of the earth. My view is that the only way to turn the frustration into purpose is to campaign for the preservation of the earth - that way you are transforming your frustration into purpose. The tide will turn - eventually. There is no guarantee that it will be in our lifetime, but if we lay the foundations then we have done our bit. 
Best wishes and blessings to you
J.J. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[thanks for the article . i find this planet extremely frustrating because we focus on the wrong things. instead of focusing on loving each other helping each other we focus on acquiring things thinking that things can save us. they wont i want a world where truth and kindness are valued . a world where we appreciate mother earth. we are far far away from that right now.  as you say though when we raise our own consciousness we benefit the whole planet. may you and all who work for the light be blessed]]></description>

Debra, thank you for your comment and for mentioning love, because without love we cannot evolve spiritually and we cannot move closer to harmony. I believe, just as you, that as individuals there is an unlimited possibility for consciousness to propel us beyond the laws of time and that every miracle is always possible now - perfectly expressed. The more individuals there are that raise their consciousness and vibration, the more the planetary consciousness is raised. We are in the perfect time and space to follow our individual destiny by going deep inside to know ourselves better and by doing so to contribute to the whole of creation. 
 in lak’ech,
Jacques]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you Jacques - This is what I wanted to review again now, and just asked via a comment. So, it&#039;s perfectly on time. I pray there is an unlimited possibility for consciousness to propel beyond the laws of time, so every miracle is always possible now. What helps me keep from being mad is remembering how much suffering is held inside and how much beauty is missed when there&#039;s no intention to love each other.
Thank you again - love, in lak&#039;ech, Debra]]></description>
