Re: A New Earth
The world is a slaughter house. It will never be anything but a dark place of almost no spirituality because this world is near the very bottom of the creation. The world will rise and fall between it's limits of spiritual vitality. If it where to go beyond it's limits it would merge in the region adjacent to it above or below. All that we enjoy here is nothing but the outward dissipation of our own spirit being wasted. What would it be like to go home to the purely spiritual worlds that operate diametrically opposite to the regions of matter? Where everything is inward and upward in a state of perpetual concentration of pure spirit. In this world, pleasure is a precursor to pain, happiness to sadness. Pleasure and pain are both states of dissipation. Death is the most painful moment of life here simply because all the outward attachments are severed in a moment and if they can't be then hell is the destination where they will be scrubbed away.
The mind runs to ease and comfort. We want to avoid difficulties and enjoy even a moments concentration of spirit. But what is really in our best interests? A better world, would be a place where truth is better known and our perspective is balanced with experience and understanding of our higher nature and true salvation. Where we understand how priceless our human birth is and how empty this world is in comparison with our true home. Where sanity, reality and truth are understood, respected and appreciated not selfish indulgence masked as good intention. Where Maya (Illusion) and Mind (the Devil) are subordinate our spirit not perpetually subjugating us.
