The principle of karma momentum means that even though humanity has been ascending in consciousness from around 500AD, the planetary field is saturated by the lower geometry accumulated over the last 12,000 years. The patriarchal distortion probably started to manifest with the Age of Aries roughly 4000 years ago, peaking with the rise of the Roman Empire as its full expression circa 2000 years ago, when we were still in a descending Yuga cycle approaching the lowest point of the Kali Yuga (Iron Epoch). During this period, history records humanity as largely afflicted with ignorance, egotism, division, conflict, and warfare, and according to the ancients the first physical signs of illness appeared when we entered the descending bronze Yuga around 3000 BC.
Knowledge of this descending cycle appears in the Prophecy of Thoth. The original is lost, but a fragment appeared in a book called Hermetica - published in 1924 - in which a high initiate called Hermes Trismegistus, who lived in Egypt a very long time ago in the time of King Ammon, speaks of the continuing fall in human consciousness far into his future. He speaks of a world in reverse, of cultures that no longer know the sacred nature of the universe, and of a time of redemption to follow. While it would be beyond the scope of this piece to cover the prophecy in depth, here are a few excerpts to give a sense of a foreknowledge that spiritual initiates have previously embodied; a compelling and poignant symbol for the current times we live in; an astonishing reflection of our current world. He writes:
“...And in that day men will be weary of life, and they will cease to think the universe
worthy of reverent wonder and of worship.”
“Darkness will be preferred to light, and death will be thought more profitable than life; no one will raise his eyes to heaven; the pious will be deemed insane, and the impious wise; the madman will be thought a brave man, and the wicked will be esteemed as good. As to the soul, and the belief that it is immortal by nature, or may hope to attain to immortality, as I have taught you, all this they will mock at, and will even persuade themselves that it is false. No word of reverence or piety, no utterance worthy of heaven and of the gods of heaven, will be heard or believed.”
Jeshua ben Joseph [Jesus] we are told was born around 0 AD; he is the way-shower for the Age of Pisces, with his philosophy of love and forgiveness as “the way” we remember our inner Divine nature, and yet despite the obvious power of these teachings, which still linger today, the distortion momentum hijacked those teachings, institutionalised them, and built a completely different religious control program around them.
Both Jesus and Buddha appear to be key messengers for the coming age of light, defying the pervasive ambience of disconnection, to leave a different ‘footprint’ in the collective field.
Karma momentum is much like a giant oil tanker; you can cut the engine but it takes a long time for the ship to finally come to a halt. The momentum of the descending ages has kept going, although it has started to slow down; we have now passed ‘peak disconnect’ expressing in the world as atheistic science materialism, which arguably is a driver for the detrimental aspects of capitalism and communism, as well as greed, money and power accumulation, hedonism, and consumerism.
Our world is saturated with field distortion from unresolved collective trauma memory connected to specific locations around the world, as well as through lineage karma, and from modern technology also e.g. WIFI and microwave devices such as mobile and cordless phones, not to mention weaponised low frequency and scalar devices - all of which flood the planetary grid system everyday.
We are in a collective crisis linked directly to personal field incoherence, fragmentation and distortion. We live in a world where many of us appear to be trapped in very limited states of awareness due to a profound sense of disconnection from the living field.
Rudolf Steiner attributed the science-materialist sub-epoch to the Persian demon Ahriman, and Mayan Calendar researcher Carl Calleman associated it with whole-brain veiling, where our perception of the universe is reduced to a finite, purely physical, and resource limited experience. It is from this profoundly veiled and dense field that we are all called to awaken and remember that there is so much more!
