FIRST I am not asking any one to believe anything, only to consider it.
I find it quiet interesting that many people have a negative attitude toward the idea of “NEW AGE” thinking.
When it appears that almost every major and minor belief system, philosophy, and so called religion,
seems to have prophecies of major changes, coming to the earth! And a change of times.
The bible talks of a new heaven and a new earth, and many so called Christians, believe in a millennial
reign of Christ,and actually believe Jesus is going to physically rule the earth. After coming in the sky
on a big white horse to kick some butt.
Trust me these beings can manifest a big white horse if you need it. Maybe He is coming to rule, that will
be fine compared with what we have had to deal with lately with the so called elites, so called rulers.
First, a thousand year reign would only be one day, in the bible it says that a thousand years
(of our concept of time) is one day, and a day is a thousand years. Look it up 2 Peter 3:8, So we are not
talking about a vast amount of so called time.
Another fine example is found in the first book, Genesis ,This Being, one of the Elohim which spoke, let
US make man in our image and our likeness, later said, to Adam, the Day that you eat there of, (trust me
it was not a apple) ye shall surely die, Adam lived nine hundred and some odd years, but fell short of a
one thousand year day! The day you eat.
Second, CHRIST is not a person, it is from the Greek word Kristos which means anointing, Jesus the
anointed one.
Jesus the Christ. Kristos, anointing = SPIRIT. All of us have the opportunity to be anointed. To walk in
the spirit. They that are led by the Spirit of God, are the sons of God. As He said, as I am one ye shall
be one. The works I do you will do and greater !
So is this one thousand year period, this reign of Christ a period where the Mind of Christ, “let this mind
be in you that was also in Christ Jesus”, reigns, where perhaps everyone walks in the Spirit? At a much
higher level of vibration ? Do beings walking in love need a ruler or does LOVE RULE?
This would be the culmination of One Week (1), with a day of rest. 1000 yrs.
What was going on, lets say a year ago 364,000 of our years??
New heaven, New Earth sounds New Age to me.
Leaving the readers digest version, lets move on to the encyclopedia version. The Vedas, in these ancient
books it talks of epochs, ages with very long cycles, yugas. Oh come on God is older than 4,320,000
years surely.
From wikipedia:
The four yugas make up a cycle called divya-yuga, which
lasts 4,320,000 years. One thousand of these yugas equal
one day of Brahma, which is called a kalpa. Brahma's
lifespan is 100 years of his time. In each yuga there is a
specific process of self-realization (yuga dharma).
SATYA YUGA - (sometimes also called krta-yuga): the
golden age lasts 1,728,000 years. The process of self-
realization in this yuga is meditation on Visnu. During this
yuga the majority of the population is situated in the mode
of goodness and the average life span at the beginning of
the yuga is 100,000 years.
TRETA YUGA - also called the silver age, lasts 1,296,000
years and the process of self realization is the performance
of opulent yajnas(sacrifices). The average life span is
10,000 years and the godly qualities decrease one fourth
compared to the Satya yuga.
It is during this age that Varna-asrama-dharma is
introduced.
DVAPARA YUGA - or the bronze age, lasts 864,000
years and the process of self realization is the worship of
the deities within temples. Godly qualities are reduced to
50% by now and the average life expectancy is only 1000
years.
KALI YUGA - the iron age of hypocrisy and quarrel lasts
432,000 years. Lord Krsna appeared in His original,
trancendental form right before the beginning of Kali Yuga.
The process of self realization is sankirtana, the chanting of
the Holy Names of the Lord. God consciousness is reduced
to 25% of the population and life expectancy is only 100
years. By now already 5000 years of Kali yuga have passed
and it is predicted that by the end of the yuga people will
hardly be older than 20 years and their only food will be
meat.
Very big expanses of time, would you agree? How long is forever, infinite?
Hinduism perceives time to flow in great cycles called yugas. There are four yugas and
depending upon the yuga the duration varies. The four yugas along with their duration in
earthly years are:
Satya Yuga
1,728,000
Treta Yuga
1,296,000
Dvapara Yuga
864,000
Kali Yuga
432,000
__________
Total
4,320,000 One yuga cycle.
I say earthly years because Hindu
scripture gives the years as divine years–
time according to the calculation of the Gods. Notice that
the basic number is 432,000, the age of Kali yuga, and so
dvapara is twice that number, treta is 3 times that number
and satya is four times that number. One rotation of these
The yuga cycle
four yugas is called a yuga cycle which is a total of
4,320,000 years. A thousand yuga cycles is called a kalpa
and therefore a kalpa is 4,320,000,000 years. Time moves
on in these great cycles, yuga after yuga, kalpa after kalpa,
eternally.
To give an example how such huge numbers are used,
consider the lifetime of Brahma, the four headed creator
God. (the bible has four headed creatures see Ezekiel)
Brahma's life span is calculated according to yuga time.
One kalpa is said to be the 12 hours of Brahma’s day, so
his 24 hour day is two kalpas in length. That means 24
hours of Brahma’s time is 8,640,000,000 earthly years! His
year is 365 days long and he lives for a 100 years. I leave it
to my readers to do the math. My calculator does not have
enough places to calculate the vast lifetime of Brahma. I
am amazed by size of the numbers that the early Hindu
thinkers were dealing with.
These anecdotes give us an understanding of the massive
time frames in which the Hindu mind has conceived of
time. Compare this with the Biblical story of Genesis where
God created the world in seven days and you see the
different conceptions of time between the two cultures.
It is said that we are now living within the Kali yuga, which
started about 5000 years ago. Each of these yugas is said to
have a certain quality of life. Kali yuga is the worst of
times because it is the time of quarrel and deceit. The level
of morality and spirituality is greatly decreased and the
maximum span of life one can expect is only 100 years. In
the previous yuga, Dvapara Yuga, life is said to have been
much better. The lifetime of a human being during the
Dvapara Yuga could be as much as 1000 years. Life was
more vibrant and spirituality was greatly increased. It is
described how a human being stood as much as 12 feet tall
and how the trees and animals are much larger as well. The
Treta yuga was an even better time with the maximum life
span as much 10,000 years. Spirituality is even higher, and
finally, in the best of times, the Satya Yuga the life of a
human being could be up to 100,000 years! The
Mahabharata and the Puranas are full of stories from the
various yugas describing scenes of people living for huge
periods of time. The great sage Vishwamitra, for example,
mediated in water for 60,000 years before his meditation
was broken by the beautiful Menaka. Their union brought
about the famous Damayanti, the heroin of many famous
stories and plays in Sanskrit. Similarly, in many of the
Puranas, ten avataras of Vishnu are said to repeatedly
appear throughout the yuga cycles. Rama always appears
during the Treta Yuga, Krishna appears at the end of
Dvapara, and Kalki, the final avatara comes at the end of
Kali Yuga to destroy all things and prepare the way for the
next Satya Yuga. There are, therefore, many appearances of
Rama, Krishna, and the other avataras. This all takes place
within the great cycles of yuga time.
Forever is really a long time, yes?
Now back down to earth!
The Mayan, end of calender, end of time as we know it!
Which is actually a change in consciousness (shift).
Hopi Indians big changes, new cycle, new world.
Every one has predicted change, and change is the only thing guaranteed !
We can go on and on with many examples of New Age (thinking) in many traditions, all over the planet,
what you should be paying attention too, is when Dozens of them all say the Same Thing!!!
There are cycles within cycles, it is TIME to expand your mind and take your God out of the box.
I personally believe all things, many I choose not to put my energy into.
Where does that put us now, on this quickly changing planet earth space ship, spinning at 1037 mph,
chasing our sun in an arm of a vast galaxy with countless others around ?
Right here now ! BE HERE NOW, Same as every thing else changing.
Here it is called the human race ? I call it life and tag your it !
What else would you be doing ? Sitting on your cloud playing your harp ?
There are more things in heaven and earth, than are dream t
of in your philosophy.
Looking at the concept of time, measuring the perpetual
flow of moments, nows, I would suggest you go reread of
chapter one.

It's funny how we perceive time in relation to a day and night cycle aka our circadian rhythm. When you lose that rhythm you no longer have the same concept of time as "everyone else". It is freedom. It's also quite dangerous if you are stressed out and you don't use that time to its fullest potential. When you no longer see the sun on a regular basis you create your own day. You sleep when you want to, do you even need sleep? Your body does. There was an old saying that says when we are asleep we are truly free. You have long expansive epochs in the dream world, but when the alarm goes off and you wake up, it's only been a few hours, or for me sometimes, a few minutes.
When you are aren't paying attention, time flies by, but if you've ever taken a laxative or stuck at work, time is very slow, it almost stands still. Time has not changed, only our perception of it has. Wisdom teaches us great value in perceive things, as in proverbs perception and understanding men you are either a wise man or a fool (often times both!) depending on whether or not you were paying attention. To whom? To each moment in time? Why? Are you happy yet? Why or why are you not happy? It was all for the person who perceives, not the teacher who wrote it down. The teacher was trying to make life easier for the student so lessons wouldn't have be to relearned and thus time isn't wasted. It's full potential could be attained.
I am at this point with Christos. I tried to explain just the meaning of the word to Christians and nonChristians alike, you would think the former would care more than the latter, but that is not the case. Christians who live in their religion and hide in their book (which they do not read) cherry pick only the quotes from the apostles, who proved that they had no backbone when it came down to it. They abandoned their master because they didn't understand what Jesus the Christ was trying to tell them. They were trying to save their own skin, whilst their Master gave up his own, to show his students the Truth of things.
The apostles didn't listen, and thus made up a bunch of bull, so they could build a religion and have all the glory and honor their teacher did, they tried to earn would could not be earn. Jesus did not earn anything, he understood things in their full context. I am the same way, I am trying to earn something that can never be earned or rewarded. It was because I understood it in my heart. I am afraid people will use this kind of knowledge to proclaim "I am Christ, or I am Jesus", because that shows the lack of understanding of what it is they are saying. Or the people who proclaim things in the name of the Holy Spirit, they do not understand that all things are Holy because it is of the same Spirit of Creation. No one can ever separate themselves from Creation, because they are apart of it and have the free will to choose what they will understand.
It's much easier to choose when you free yourself from all the bull crap that is spewed upon you from the whoever is on the pulpit this week. I goto Temple because I want something to happen, some outward sign of my inner thoughts, yet all I get besides a moment lapse of reason and sanctuary, is a call to arms under the guise of peace for all men. It still sickens me to see flags of any nation near an altar, but these are places built by men for the sole purpose of gathering together in fear.
Funfact, the temple that is "poor" which is much farther away is awesome. The Rabbi has never given out a political sermon, and she talks to the people directly rather than calling them out as distinguished guests. Are we not all equal in God's eyes? We built the steps to separate those that rule from those that are ruled.
Also, why do they have to keep the Torah behind a curtain? When I lay eyes upon it, my heart feels like it is full of choirs and bells. It's a beautiful sight, it's like seeing a lover naked before me, and when she is spread open before me, I can the fire within her. The black fire upon the white fire. The need for the Word is a passion for understanding, so that I can remember a moment from so long ago, but in reality, it wasn't that long ago, and the time without understanding will be short when I do remember.
