THE FUTURE OF HUMAN CIVILISATION

Question: How has human civilisation grown as a community and what is its future?
Maitreya Dadashreeji:
Dear Friends!
Absolute growth! Humanity has taken giant leaps in terms of Science and Technology, especially in the last 30-40 years. Ideas about human life have changed. Things are more quick and fast. There is no doubt that today’s man can achieve efficiently, what a hundred years ago man would have found difficult or impossible to achieve. Human design and life has changed significantly. A major factor that propelled this change was the increase in the human population. The population explosion thus demanded material support to meet these needs. The human brain in the act of survival or in providing support to fellow beings gave rise to unimaginable, pathbreaking and landmark inventions in the recent history of human civilisation. Each invention was just a beginning or a new milestone for successive chapters in human development.
And of course, as we saw a growth in the quality of human life, there have emerged some shortcomings that we are facing today. In the aspiration for a better and comfortable life, we have disrupted the original harmonious design of planet Earth. Human activities have exploited the natural resources dramatically, leaving dirt and darkness for the future. They have hijacked the role of operating and managing the world from Nature. Their active and corruptive intervention is doing less good and more harm. What you breathe and eat have been mixed with pollutants and toxic chemicals. From soil to sea, nothing has been spared by humans to turn a once pristine world into one filled with pollution and toxin.
Although we have noticed untoward events, fortunately, there is a visible sense of change proposed by many since recent times. All is not yet lost. There is hope. Sensitive and responsible people have started taking appropriate measures to correct the past mistakes. This corrective action itself is going to define the future outlook of the planet and the people. At this juncture of human evolution, all of you need to take a decision. You have to define your path and move in that direction. If there is a machine that paints people with white or black, which colour will you go with? It’s not that one is good or the other bad, but you have to make a choice. It’s mandatory to get painted by the colour of your choice. You can’t act and hide comfortably as grey in the crowd. This will set the direction for you and for the planet as well.
As we have seen in the past, many earlier civilisations progressed as a race, evolved as a being and then disappeared like a drop of water. They contributed and participated harmoniously in shaping the planet to their best. Even in those colonies, there were diverse shades of personalities. People had their views and differences. At various instances, conflicts and disagreement resulted in human loss. A few corrected themselves and a few couldn’t. They had ample opportunities to make their choices. They did what they were supposed to do. It seems human beings haven’t learnt any lessons from the mistakes made by earlier civilisations. Here is the choice you have to make now.
At this period, we see that human existence will progress into two different categories. These categories will eventually form two types of communities, community A and community B. Here, community A represents a constructive and harmonious approach to life. This community will be based on high values and an all-inclusive belief system. Discrimination due to region, religion and race would cease to exist. The truth will prevail. They would believe in freedom and bonding. Their power and foundation would be love. They would act and think, based on Love. By now, you must have guessed, what kind of community B might be. It represents a destructive and disruptive approach to life. They would believe in divide and rule. This mindset would try to control and dominate. They exult in division. They would never hesitate to destroy anything that comes in their path. Selfishness and greed would be their friends. Their force and foundation would be fear. They would act and think, based on fear.
Assess and decide for yourself! Make your choice. Life gives you freedom and knowledge. Make use of this knowledge to make the right decision! The world is changing and so will you have to. We wish the best for all of you and hope that you dedicate your life to create a better world by participating in and strengthening the process of setting up community A.
Looking forward to see you as a member of community A!
Love and Blessings!
Maitreya Dadashreeji!
