http://www.magickriver.blogspot.com/2011/10/lets-celebrate-end-of-kali-yuga-and.html For nearly 13,000 years - since the end of the last glacial period - humanity has been subjugated to the testosterone-driven will of warlords, each dreaming of conquering, colonizing and dominating the world. The voices of sages, poets and visionaries were drowned by the ceaseless din of battle. Whenever the dust of armed conflict settled for a spell, the clamor of the marketplace took over.

Buckminster Fuller said that Spaceship Earth was so ingeniously designed that no one has a clue that we are on one, flying through the universe at a million miles per hour, with no need for seatbelts, lots of room in coach, and really good food—but all that is changing.

http://www.magickriver.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-aquarius-project-30-minute.html Humility means acknowledging how little we know about the universe; and humility comes from realizing that nature’s beauty and mystery are worth infinitely more than our perverse obsession with illusory fame and fortune. Being able to breathe clean, fresh air and admire the distant hills every day may not get us into the Guinness Book of World Records or the Who's Who of the Banana Republics ‑ but it will certainly get us closer to regaining heaven on earth.

As it turns out, a similar legend exists among many other indigenous tribes around Southeast Asia, warning against the arrogance that comes with elevated social status, causing us to despise our own humble origins.
