Humankind is led to believe that humans are ever evolving and therefore invariably improving, of which, an honest and comprehensive view of the evidence that surrounds us would indicate that this isn’t true and never has been. Modern society has a strong tendency to take the past, and all such that doesn’t fit into their nice and neat theory of evolution and to therefore mold or re-construct this in a way that the story still sells, though that story clearly does not represent the whole truth for it deliberately ignores or mythologizes great civilizations that have existed previously. The reality is that humankind is cyclical in nature, of which we see the evidence of this throughout this entire planet in regards to its flora and fauna, along with what so occurs in humanity, itself.
The reality is that humankind, again and again, invariably goes through the same basic cycle, which is the cycle of birth, and then a life so lived, through the various seasons and stages of that life, followed by physical death. This therefore signifies that the only thing that keeps humankind alive as a species, therefore, is that it continues to cycle its way through life, over and over again, as compared to somehow evolving into something in substance that it is not, and never will become.
This implies strongly that all the time, effort, and devotion so made in trying to extend the life of humanity substantially beyond its finite capabilities, is an exercise in futility, for eternal life on this earth, or some sort of semblance to it, is not ever going to happen, and furthermore has no good purpose behind it. After all, the cyclical nature of life, should be our clue, that what we need to learn on this plane, is something that is within our grasp to know, each and every time that we are part of the cycle that life so presents within this world.
So then, the first lesson to know is that the natural cycle of life of which we are participants in day-by-day is what we should concentrate our energy upon; for everything that we really need to know, is contained within that endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth; thereby representing the truth that will thereupon allow us to become enlightened in a manner that we can be of material aid to those that surround us, in our communities, and in our world. This signifies that the only eternity that is applicable to this world, is that eternity of the cyclical nature of this planet, of which, our objective should be to be in harmony with that nature.
So too, all that appears to be mindless repetition to our untrained eyes, is in fact, anything but; for we are challenged to first understand who and what we really are, and then from there to figure out what we are supposed to be doing with our newfound knowledge. That is to say, the point of the exercise on this planet is to fully comprehend that which we currently see as the ultimate reality as really a cyclical construct that is meant to make us desire greatly to shatter the illusion that seemingly entraps us, so as to reveal that which will be our epiphany.
