“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.” ? Edgar D. Mitchell

Enlightenment Is Like a Ladder

The year was 2007. I found myself at a run-down internet cafe in Kashmir talking to a sweet, old man about enlightenment and the impending shift in human consciousness.

“It is like a ladder,” he explained in broken English. “Some people are lower, some are higher. But we all come from the same place and we are all going to the same place.”

The current consciousness of humanity is nothing but an old, worn-out sweater, and the current collapse of it is nothing but random strings being pulled. Sit back, relax and allow the old sweater to unravel. Everything is as it should be, and the beauty underneath will soon be revealed for all to see.
