Why the World Doesn't End

It seems that nothing that begins again is nice .I guess the dark ages of the world are beginning once more in an era where we should be much more intelligent, but respect and compassion have flown away from the planet invading other galaxies that want none of our activities.

I hope this planet will survive with all the mess that we are creating. There seems no end to the problem. Humans are getting very aggressive and incredibly selfish which does not help the situation.

This season, when the darkness seems to grow deeper around us, may be the time to gather often with candles marking prayers for the future and help tip the scales towards peace and greater understanding.

 It is in the middle of the darkest times when things secretly begin again..

 Yet, it is in the middle of the darkest times when things secretly begin again..

Thing seem to be totally out of order. I sure hope we will see some compassion and kindness again.

Thank you again Teo.

The point is not to become nihilistic or cynical, not to be overly fearful or believe in one or another end-time scenario. The point is to recognize the archetypal ground of extremes, the surprising and unpredictable territory where things both end and begin again. 

Thank you again Teo for the post.

Despite the increasing intensity of natural disasters and the growing threat of cultural catastrophes, the real issue is not the literal end of the world. In mythic terms, ends and beginnings are essentially connected and one keeps leading to the other as the eternal drama and ongoing mystery of life continues to unfold and the world keeps renewing itself.

Thank you Teo

 To be alive at this time is to enter a "liminal" state, a betwixt and between condition that occurs when an era comes to an end, when many things are ending and everything seems about to fall apart. Yet, it is in the middle of the darkest times when things secretly begin again..

Thank you Teo, and thank you yoko for bringing back this post. So appropriate for these times that we are living in at the moment.

Thank you Teo for the original post. We certainly live in some dark times at the moment, but hopefully all will pass and we see the light once more at the end of the tunnel,.

We are in a dark time indeed. Let us hope that we will not have another world war.

Keep praying that the light will shine again and drive away all the dark clouds will no longer surround the earth.

My thoughts exactly, Vicky. Hope we will not see WW3.

My thoughts exactly. These are quite frightening times.

Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?

Let us hope that Rumi was right.
