During the times of the lost city Atlantis, people were so enlightened that according to our perception they were super natural beings. Having abilities to heal, to sense, to predict, to levitate. They were pure. As dreamy and perfect as it may sound, there are always some who try to counter wheigh the situation, feeling they should get a grips of power, to feel superior, to be all-mighty! That was the turning point in class society. People were cast into “boxes” (in England, they still are), certain rules and norms were imposed. Some even say, that resulted in sinking the Atlantis, as it wasn’t a role model any more! I wonder..!? Nowadays, when democracy, soul enlightment are promoted, charmas are being “deleted” through some sanctifications, yoga and vegetarianism are a hit, we should not be so tangled up in those corroded and outdated cases. Nevertheless, we find such articles in our newspapers:
Lanki village in India, near Muzaffarnagar, prohibited young, single women the usage of mobile phones, since it has become common in society to plot “evil” plans behind parents. It is a custom and a long standing tradition that parents look for eligible bride and groom for their children. The usage of mobile phones causes “unwanted” relationships between women and men of different boxes and classes!
What an outrage! Stampeding on the course line, full of do´s and don´t´s, white and black world visions, desperatley holding on to ancient traditions, I am not denying, in some cases they are sacred and should be honoured (thou shall not kill, desire another’s wife, etc.), but each generation wants to leave a mark, wants to innovate. Look at the youth during the 60’s, adoring the Beatles, in 70´s going crazy for Led Zeppelin and AC&DC, in 80´s imitating Jackson. But, I guess the “youth revolution” is, in a sense, sweeter when some rebellious acts are involved. Sentences, like “Yeah, go ahead, we´re not holding you back!” do not inject much confidence, do they!
Although, I have to say, even nowadays, the best yoga masters are able to defy the gravity and levitate about 50 cm of the ground! The Maya calendar will end in 2012, does that mean, we are getting closer to their level, to their “enlightened state of mind?”
