"In the future, sentient beings will have very short attention spans and a great many things will clutter and occupy their minds...at that time, all sentient beings will suffer greatly from disease, famine and war." 700CE
Yeshe Sogyal The Daikini, Tibetan Consort of the Lotus Born Master. {The Dakini Code - You Tube}
This revelation from the Tibetan Vajrayana school of Buddhism thousands of years old still echo's more so today then ever and for those who are awakened to the teachings of the Ancient Wisdom, this is a warning that is today more relevant than ever. In this day and age of the Kali Yuga or the final age of decay and destruction as is manifesting all around the world humanity is fulfilling the prophecy as we observe how our generation today have been distracted by vast amount of irrelevant information fed through the advent of technology and mass media. Our children at a very young age are being exposed to these distractions in the form of video games and rampant negative information so much so that their span of attention on more relevant day to day knowledge has become a universal worry. Technology has become a negative input when it comes to the mental development of our generation, we are exposed to too much roadside attractions that feed our minds with mostly negative distraction. Most video games are designed with the depiction of violence as the main theme and children especially exposed to these games are fed with the idea of seek and destroy, it has become an addiction at a very early age. Most parents today has the assumption that allowing their young children to play with their hand phones is one way of feeding them with knowledge. it may be so, however when knowledge fed without restrain can become nothing more than an overload of gibberish mental formations that fill the innocent mind with garbage which later would become a poison to the child.
"Draught and famine will sweep the world. Nation will fight nations the larger will destroy the smaller. The doctrine of materialism will overwhelm the minds and drive them to struggle for their own selfish ends. The lust for power and wealth will prevail over teachings of compassion and truth. It's the Shambala prophecy, 700 CE."
Most religious and spiritual teachings handed down from generation to generation has now been defunct as archaic and scientific and technological knowledge has replaced the words of wisdom of the ancient minds. Science has become a tool both of creation and destruction and it has become competitive to religious as well as spiritual wisdom. The human mind has been challenged to prove what cannot be seen or heard as a reality and what can be put to the scapple of scientific studies as real. The human mind itself is being fed with logic and proven facts and made incapable of accepting the unknown and divine manifestations as part of the human psyche. Now that humanity is on the verge of coming to an end with its own determination for self destruction many are lost as to why or what is the cause for our tragic self inflicted tendencies. However what is even more tragic is the fact that most are lost or have their heads buried in the sand of denial. Man's cruelty and aggressions towards one another over the simplest of issues is rampant eating at the very fabric of societies like cancerous cells and he is helpless in finding the root cause much less the solution to his woes. Even though in today's day and age knowledge is at his fingertips man's ignorance has become a pandemic causing chaos and havoc all over the world. Governed by Greed, Hate and Delusion, man today is facing a meltdown of the dignity and pride of being human much less of being of a divine nature that is the essence of spirituality.
The message the His Holiness the Dalai Lama shared on his visit to the Muslim Community at the Al Sharif Mosque in Shei, Ladakh in August 2022 spelled out the in his simple way how humanity can co- exist through Loving Kindness and Compassion, it encapsulated the problem mankind faces today; the lack of mutual understanding and practice of Love and Compassion regardless of culture and religion. What is happening between Israel and Palestine is testimony to this failure of humanity in this modern day and age. In my personal point of view, if Israel and Palestine had learned to co-exist side by side from the beginning, even as a separate states both would have benefitted and flourished today due to all the aids and support that would have been made from the West as well as the Muslim Nations towards their development. sadly enough they have both been subjected to becoming a pawn in the political gambit of hidden agendas by the more larger nations from both East and West.
" No people in the world would accept being expelled en mass from their own country: how can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate."
Bertrand Russel, - British philosopher.
