Valid myths

Old myths often feature gods and/or humans, very often in combination. The humans in myths often had their own bright philosophies, and tried to be good examples for people and even entire societies. Sometimes this was more recognized about the men than the women in some cultures, but not all. They were larger than life, probably in their own times as well as in the retellings of their lives and deeds with lessons that became myths.

A story about a son or daughter of a god would in many cases be determined after someone had shown exceptional abilities and merit.

Sometimes myths are about the founding of civilizations, founded by people with solid enough personal philosophies (which can be informed by philosophers, advisors, mates, etc.) to maintain a blessed feeling system for a very long time. Good gets done in myths, if you know how to read the lessons.

Satya Yuga is the most virtuous yuga, but it’s effortless to be virtuous in the Satya Yuga because of how fun and worthwhile everything is and feels. People are good there (then). The myths leading into the Satya should have people doing a lot of good (in terms of making the right choices) to get the vibe right. As a philosopher, shaman, oracle, and light in the world, I am trying to restore dharma to the world. The examples of dharma we set leading up to the Satya Yuga can resound for thousands of years.

On the flip side, that means that people making the wrong choices have been keeping us all trapped in the wrong time quality.

During the Kali Yuga, our current age going back thousands of years, which is now stale, some of our myths lost key components of their original lessons such that those lessons became hard for humans to notice or even access. This yuga is like a dark ages compared to the others (i.e. the Dvapara Yuga, Treta Yuga, and Satya Yuga).

That’s one of the reasons that valid, true modern myths are due. We need real individuals to live through modern problem solving endeavors that end up making the world feel better and work better for people. We need them each to have a spiritual journey in the process. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the new myths, but I know that people have problems to solve.

I’m ready to be the oracle they go to. I’m ready to be their shaman that gives them the right information.

Are humans due for valid modern myths?

Modern myths would provide the substance that valid contemporary updates for religions could be made of.

Could religions be more useful if we allow some of them a new mythic cycle? If each mythic narrative proves to teach us something useful about God, Spirit, morality, or philosophy?

To get to the Satya Yuga mythic cycle and ultimately the Satya Yuga (i.e. up to thousands of years of humanity at our best), I think the myths in the percolating current cycle have to have happy endings that reveal how cool and rewarding it is to be good and do what’s right. Satya Yuga media probably isn’t going to rely on deconstruction of culture (which has been dominant since the 1990s) nor the reconstitution of culture (which has become co-dominant since the 2010s, and do note that the Satya Yuga will probably feature some of the best reconstruction ever seen in media), it will be forming new narrative fictional tropes based on the new real-life myths and the real-life problem solving introduced in them, if I’m reading history correctly.

To be myths, the stories of the coming heroes have to be part of the upcoming Satya Yuga/Aquarian cycle of mythic true stories, or we else we will collectively remain in a state of decay, where we have a stale yuga and no new myths, because in that case the true story will not have transcended to become myth. It would be more like a mundane horror movie or tragedy, not a myth.

Modern myths would provide the substance that valid contemporary updates for lots of things could be made of.

Kalki, final Vishnu avatar

“For whenever there is a decline in righteousness and an increase in un-righteousness, Arjuna, then I emanate myself. For the protection of good people, for the destruction of evil-doers, and for the restoration of righteousness, I take birth in age after age.”

– Krishna, Bhagavad Gita

Messages of Kalki, the expected final Vishnu avatar who (never being evil) overcomes evil with good, and who helps restore dharma to the world, have existed for a long time. They’re prophecies given by Hindu prophets, and they hold secrets about the Apocalypse and yuga turn (the transition from the Kali Yuga to the Satya Yuga). They talk about Kalki as a real person who lives at the end of the Kali Yuga (our current age, which is at its end, if things run their proper course).

I’ve recovered some interesting information that seems to be present in various Kalki prophecies, some of which is obscure and/or known only in certain regions:

  • Kalki is the living avatar of Vishnu, a good and just god. Kalki champions dharma, which involves people fulfilling their potential as good and productive beings (individually and collectively).
  • Kalki is Vishnu born to help humans attain the living paradise of Satya Yuga.
  • Kalki hates evil.
  • Kalki is supposed to defeat evil. Kalki tries to save the world alongside the other people who want to rise above evil, defeat it, and have a good and productive future for humanity.
  • In or before the 1800s, prophets started having visions of Kalki turning out to be a woman: Vishnu’s first female human avatar. Otherwise, Kalki seems to undertake the very serious challenge of the Apocalypse in his youth or early manhood.
  • In or before the 1500s, prophets started having visions of Kalki having trouble at some point with being plagiarized. Even before that, it was understood that Kalki would be a sacred scholar who studied morality, dharma, ethics, and other things. Vishnu avatars are all philosophers.
  • In or before the 1400s, prophets started describing that Kalki would be one of several children, and have evil siblings, who are very depraved, who are unjust to Kalki, and who perpetrate offensive acts that Vishnu hates, and that the righteous hate. Kalki, however, was expected to be good and just, and to have sound philosophies.
  • Kalki is predicted to have chronic health issues for long periods, and these health problems will place undue limitations on Kalki’s life and lifestyle.
  • Kalki has something like a built-in cosmic calculator. This could describe a kind of alchemical mental state connected with Logos.
  • There has been an understanding that Kalki would be a musician, and may write songs.
  • Kalki was expected to have a mystery to solve about some of the evil going on in the world, and would present what was discovered to the public on some kind of screen.
  • Kalki was prophesied by some to be a survivor of abuse.
  • It’s been said that Kalki works specifically with (and as) multiple Vedic and Upanishad gods, including Vishnu, Kartikeya’s identities (notably Murugan, Skanda, and Subrahmanya), and Durga, and counts as the avatar of all of those. Kalki also has a special relationship with the god Shiva, who is Kartikeya’s father and Durga’s consort. Kalki also has special identification with Rama, Vishnu’s first human avatar.
  • Kalki is an avatar who becomes aware of being an avatar at some point relatively early in life.
  • Kalki must live a long life. Kalki may experience a resurrection and transfiguration at some point.
  • Kalki is associated with a white horse. Kalki may own a white horse.
  • Kalki is associated with a parrot. Kalki may own a parrot.
  • Kalki is associated with a sword. Kalki may receive or have a physical, etheric, or metaphorical weapon that could be called or compared to a sword.
  • Some prophecies have claimed that Kalki would be born in a land that was associated with dreams.
  • Kalki is supposed to be instrumental in getting humanity through the Apocalypse at the end of the Kali Yuga and into the sacred Satya Yuga.
  • Kalki confronts demons, and engages in battles with them.
  • Kalki cares about and cooperates with righteous people who champion virtue during a time when too much human virtue is lost.
  • More than one person, including someone who holds special interest for the god Brahma, is prophesied to be destined to help and be close with Kalki. They must have good and enjoyable lives to create an environment that blooms into the Satya Yuga.
  • Kalki has a spouse at some point who is probably associated with an island somewhere and is either named after a flower, or known for being beautiful or delicate like a flower.
  • Kalki is a leader.
  • The numbers of years often quoted as the duration of the various yugas may very likely be estimations or figurative.
  • Kalki will be born around the time when humans are running out of dharma so much that they’re hitting a very serious crisis point.

The pyramid

A pyramid has tiers. The capstone is at the top. The bottom tier is beautiful, stable, and supportive. All its architectural tiers are above ground, each feeling harmonious in its place.

Astrology

Some people really don’t like astrology because they think it isn’t scientific enough.

Astrology is about how time actually feels to a person, and how it moves in steady and predictable ways and cycles. It’s a complex and nuanced system mostly invented to describe things, including seasons. It’s the foundations of astronomy, it’s geometry, it’s art.

Some people don’t like astrology because they think it’s against their religion.

Most religions have had highly respected and influential adherents who were astrologers. For example, astrologers of faith have often figured largely in Christendom. Most Christian royal courts have had respected astrologers. There was a period of time in Britain and North America called the First Great Awakening (18th Century) when self-published religious philosophers in some regions came out against astrology. It was controversial to demonize it at the time, and there wasn’t a very clear reason for it. Throughout history many people have thought of astrology as devout observation of God’s Creation.

What is the Satya Yuga?

This is from mythology, but it’s real:

The Kali Yuga is a time period where things have gone quite wrong. That’s where we are now, unfortunately. It has lasted a very long time, and it’s the worst it’s ever been right now. The end of the Kali Yuga is currently overdue.

The Satya Yuga is where everything goes right, to the point where it’s so good that it redefines right several times over, in a good way, maybe for thousands of years straight. The Satya Yuga is the next time period after the Kali Yuga ends.

The Satya Yuga is known by reputation and story, and if we get there we can expect to see an amazing economy, individual flourishing, people living lives full of appreciation and contentment, very welcome technological advancements, a better and safer symbiosis with Earth, very accessible happiness, better relationships, better looks, and better health outcomes.

The beautiful etheric qualities of the Satya Yuga will become almost visible to the naked eye, rendering nearly everything wonderful to experience and to behold.
