The current planetary civilization, so the story goes, is populated with so many exceptional and extraordinary souls that entire national destinies will be magically shifted from the obvious trajectories that they are now plotting to new and glorious ones filled with bliss and happiness, joy and euphoria.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Exactly what is it that makes this 7 billion plus group of time traveling souls so remarkable, so different?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>So different, that is, that they will somehow be the fortunate recipients of great karmic reprieves as no civilization\u00a0which has come before has ever experienced.<\/p>\n<p>First, let&#8217;s objectively compare the current race of humanity with what we know about previous ones. \u00a0The esoteric historical record clearly indicates that the inhabitants of Atlantis and Lemuria were both far more evolved than the post-modern homo sapiens of the 21st century. \u00a0The intellectual, scientific and technological advancement of Atlantis was literally lightyears ahead of where humankind is today. \u00a0Likewise, their state of spiritual development was much more refined and in resonance with ONENESS or supreme <em>Consciousness<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And, yet, with all of this divine largesse operating in their favor, they (Atlantis) fell prey to profound hubris and arrogance. \u00a0The story goes that when the priestly class quite negatively influenced the scientific establishment, as well as the elites who controlled the technology, to do their bidding, things very quickly &#8220;<em>went to hell in a hand basket&#8221;<\/em>, figuratively and literally! \u00a0That is basically what caused Atlantis to sink in a day and a night approximately 12,000 years ago.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9921\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/atlantis_destruction_by_kosv01-d36mzjv-e1428448163168.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9921\" class=\"wp-image-9921 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/atlantis_destruction_by_kosv01-d36mzjv-e1428448163168.jpg\" alt=\"atlantis_destruction_by_kosv01-d36mzjv\" width=\"650\" height=\"436\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9921\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Artist rendition of the last days of Atlantis<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The gross abuse of powerful technologies for very wrong reasons can create quite the mess. Both Halloween and All Souls Day are byproducts of that earth-shattering cataclysm as are the Bermuda Triangle, the Pharaonic Dynasties of Ancient Egypt, and the United States of America (aka the <em>New Atlantis<\/em>). \u00a0There are many other vestiges of that once great multi-island nation of Atlantis which have found their way into our modern civilization &#8230; such as virtually every scientific and technological advancement of the past two hundred years!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the point?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Truly, the current stage of evolution of mankind &#8212; both mundane and spiritual &#8212; is far from the level of the Atlantean and the Lemurian civilizations. \u00a0And, yet, their civilizations met with fates which were quite unfortunate and final, uncompromising and baneful. \u00a0It is said that on the day that Atlantis sank perhaps as many as 350 million souls perished worldwide, so destructive was that terrible calamity.<\/p>\n<p>The point here is that modern society has shown itself to be much more &#8220;LOST&#8221; than those of previous ages and yugas, ancient cultures and civilizations. \u00a0Because we lack any realistic frame of reference, we as a people are incapable of seeing this truth. \u00a0Our collective perspective has been shaped by millennia of brainwashing and programming, which has profoundly inculcated (and inbred) an extraordinary degree of shared ignorance and communal arrogance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In other words we &#8212; the current planetary civilization &#8212; have been somehow convinced that we are the best and the brightest, the latest and the greatest, the most superior human race ever to have inhabited Planet Earth.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because the internet age has brought us information and data which was heretofore inaccessible, we now somehow feel that we have arrived, or that we are about to arrive. Not only have we not arrived, we seem to be moving fast and furiously in the wrong direction &#8230; much as Atlantis did during their end times. \u00a0The quite significant difference is that many Atlantean spirits had experienced (i) a very high level of spiritual attainment, (ii) the acquisition of sublime and sacred wisdom and (iii) a high degree of knowledge and proficiency in the occult sciences and mystical arts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Were a real live Atlantean to walk the Earth today he or she would be likely be horrified at the sight.<\/strong> \u00a0For they would become grimly aware of the present earthly predicament as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Overpopulated and crowded, concrete, steel and asphalt urban jungles dotting the globe,<br \/>\nacidified oceans and <em>chemtrailed<\/em> skies, razed rainforests and removed mountaintops,<br \/>\npolluted lakes and rivers, poisoned ponds and streams, hazy and smog-filled mega-cities,<br \/>\noverwhelmingly contaminated superfund sites that have been neglected for decades,<br \/>\nmassive oil spills and catastrophic nuclear mishaps, many of which go unreported,<br \/>\nirreparable environmental destruction and ecological imbalance everywhere,<br \/>\nperpetual war for geopolitical advantage and constant international conflict,<br \/>\nwars over land and water, oil and gas, sacred sites and valuable real estate,<br \/>\nreligious and race wars, national and cultural wars, clashes of civilizations and societies,<br \/>\nstrife between the genders and animosities among sexual orientations,<br \/>\nlong-simmering family feuds, tribal vendettas, and cultural hostilities,<br \/>\nspreading gang violence, drug trafficking and urban ghetto ethos,<br \/>\nlifelong poverty and destitution, homelessness and joblessness,<br \/>\nnew diseases and illnesses, recurring influenzas and infections,<br \/>\nchildhood Obesity and Diabetes, Autism and Aspergers, ADD and ADHD,<br \/>\nadulthood Heart disease and Stroke, Cancer and Chronic degenerative disease,<br \/>\nnever-ending pestilence and plagues,\u00a0pandemics and epidemics,<br \/>\ndestruction of the nuclear family and pervasive lack of community,<br \/>\nsexual abuse and child abuse, spousal abuse and elderly abuse,<br \/>\nwidespread drug abuse and misuse &#8212;

Likewise, the practically worthless U.S. Federal Government has done even less even though this unparalleled water supply emergency is occurring in the 8th largest economy in the world. \u00a0And, with an agricultural output that is relied upon by people across the planet.<\/p>\n<p>California is the same state which is promoting a totally liberal approach toward immigration and amnesty when they can&#8217;t even balance their budget. \u00a0Their instate students are protesting about tuition hikes and crushing student loan debt, yet the legislators in Sacramento want to give free tuition and scholarships to illegal aliens who have broken the law. They even want to allow unlawful immigrants to attend law school and practice law?!<\/p>\n<p>The gang violence, gun running and drug trafficking in southern California only gets worse by the year and yet the politicians want to practically blow the border wide open. \u00a0As the Feds scream terrorist at any patriot American who calls out Washington for its ultrafascist conduct, the Obama Administration permits a porous border to go virtually unsecured. \u00a0ISIS, ISIL and IS militants may be entering the nation every minute of the day, yet Homeland Security only enables and empowers the illegal aliens. \u00a0Hundreds of thousands of them have been labeled as criminals; still, the immigration policies are further relaxed so as to favor their release into the U.S. general population!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Again, what was it exactly that makes us &#8212; the current human race &#8212; so very special?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Once again, why do so many thought <em>New Age<\/em> leaders insist that the current generations are so special and so deserving of so much cosmic clemency? \u00a0Given the previous incomplete list of truly overwhelming societal problems and social ills, environmental disasters and ecological catastrophes, economic depressions and financial calamities \u00a0&#8212; all of which are manmade &#8212; <strong>why should the <em>Highest Power<\/em>\u00a0mercilessly save us from the fruits of our actions?<\/strong> \u00a0What are we doing today &#8212; individually or collectively &#8212; that would merit such a dramatic suspension of divine law and dispensation?<\/p>\n<p>Forgive us if we offend, but &#8212;&gt;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What, pray tell, is so exceptional and special about our 21st century post-modern planetary civilization, except that we seem to be in a race to the bottom &#8230; as in crossing the finish line in record time to Hades (aka Hell)?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Why do so many good people, smart people, aware people, spiritual people buy into this notion that we can continue down all of these roads (again, see the abridged list above) without consequence. \u00a0And, yet, at the very same time that they claim that we &#8212; the present human race &#8212; are so remarkable, we will somehow be, collectively and individually, spared our just desserts.<\/p>\n<p>Now do you see? \u00a0There is surely something very wrong with this deeply flawed vision and understanding. \u00a0And yet very few among us really get it. \u00a0<strong>VERY FEW!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This brings us to the critical point of this societal commentary. \u00a0While very few would ever admit or acknowledge the possibility, or even entertain the notion, the vast majority of the people residing on Planet Earth are suffering from the same ailment. \u00a0This worldwide illness reflects a raging epidemic which has seen an alarming uptick over the past 100 years.
