This new era will be known as the Divine Kingdom and with it humanity will see a thousand years of peace and Righteousness. The times we live in are very significant, as the ramifications of this battle will be felt by the entire universe. However the current times are also highly conducive for spiritual practice to attain God-realization (the highest spiritual state).

The definition of good and evil

From a Spiritual science standpoint, people who are living or who have passed on, who have an intense desire to do spiritual practice with the goal of surrendering everything including ego unto God and aligning their life with attaining God are defined as ‘good’. On the other hand, evil persons (living or subtle bodies) are raja-tama or tama predominant, unrighteous and have a high ego.

Where do good and evil come from?

Everything in the universe has originated from One God. The God principle permeates everything in the universe and also exists beyond it. From this perspective both good and evil have originated from the God principle. They have both existed since the creation of the universe. However the evil was in seed or latent form at that time. Since both good and evil come from the Supreme God principle, they also get their spiritual energy from God.

What is the mission of good and evil?

The mission of the good forces is to establish an order across all the regions of the universe based on the sattva component. On the other hand, evil forces strive to establish a demonic kingdom based on the raja and tama components. This demonic kingdom is a kind of kingdom that is most conducive for demonic forces to fulfill their desires. These desires have a wide range, right from indulging excessively in sensual pleasures and the inappropriate use of power, to troubling seekers of God, to wiping out spiritual practice for God-realization.

Where is the battle fought?

The battle between good and evil is fought mainly in the subtle worlds between the subtle good and subtle evil forces. After the subtle battle is won by the subtle good forces, it is followed by the battle in the gross (physical) i.e. on Earth. This gross war affects the entire world. At first the battleground manifests on Earth in people’s minds and it seems like we are living in a world that has gone crazy. This is pretty much like the world in recent times. This is primarily because of ghosts (demons, devils, spirits, etc.) possessing or affecting mankind. Along with this there is an increasing intensity of natural disasters (floods, tsunamis, epidemics, drought, etc.).
Later the battle in the subtle manifests on our material plane and escalates on Earth. It finally presents itself as a major world war along with natural disasters of a monumental level. The primary reason for this is because of the increase in the subtle tama component that is associated with evil i.e. ghosts (demons, devils, spirits, etc.) and a society that lacks in spiritual practice and a lifestyle of Righteousness.
The scale of the physical battle will be unlike anything one has seen before and entire mankind will be affected. This is nature’s way of cleansing the planet of the tama predominant elements, making way for a better world.

Conclusion

The period between the years 1999 – 2022 represents a twilight period between two eras as we move from a darker age (mini-kaliyuga) to a better one (mini-satyayuga) within the main era of Kaliyuga. During this twilight period of 23 years, any spiritual practice undertaken by one according to the basic principles of Spirituality will benefit one immensely.
In fact, each year of spiritual practice in these 23 ‘twilight’ years is equal to 50 years during the course of an era. Taking adulthood to be about 50 years in an average human’s lifespan; spiritual practice undertaken in these 23 years would approximately be equivalent to 1000 years. Another way of looking at it would be that we would be getting the benefit of 20 lifetimes of spiritual practice in just one lifetime.
Hence, despite these times being really challenging there is a way to make the best of it and achieve maximal spiritual progress by undertaking spiritual practice.

A woman I know, an extremely spiritual person, recently shared with me the following: 'I used to have unfortunate beliefs about myself and I received back from external influences unfortunate results. When I decided to take control and raise my resonance, to be the change I wanted to become, to allow abundance and love come flow through me, absolutely everything fell into place. I am now living a life of leisure with a beautiful husband and I can draw what I want into my universe at will.'
There are many people that just can't stop lying. In order to avoid the truth this path is chosen. A lie that is said for someone's benefit is to cheat another. However there are some people that always lie, meaning that they are looked upon as liars for everything and anything that they might say. Anyone who has the habit of lying continuously is called as compulsive liar. It is a condition where a person is just unable to speak the truth, even if he tries to put it in a simple and truthful way there happens to be a point at which he will be unable to continue with the harsh truths and in order to avoid this he will start it all again with lying.
Success and happiness are not often thought to co-exist in today•fs society. As people work harder to accomplish more successful careers and more expensive toys, they find themselves unhappy with their lives. This is largely due to imbalance. People are spending entirely too much time working to be successful and not nearly enough time with family and stopping to smell the roses. These poor habits began in the nineties, and are being passed down to the next generation. But as young people, you can start planning now to have both success and happiness in your life as you grow older.
Totalitarianism has been tried many times and it essentially fails because human beings will in all ways subvert a singular narrative that is imposed by force. The fates of the totalitarian states of the last century illustrate this. Authority, the power to dominate the minds and bodies of humanity, has solved this problem by creating and dispersing a deadly form of freedom.
Subliminal programming, despite its seemingly strange connotations, is actually more widespread than most people realize. Everyday, whether you believe it or not, we are subjected to large doses of this covert persuasion. But now, I'm going to share with you the gist of the game so that you'll no longer have to carry on unknowingly.
Now that we have an economic crisis looming above our heads, learning how to motivate your employees without money becomes more important than ever. Doing this can help you improve the overall performance of your employees. It will encourage them to work ever harder and strive for the company's goals.
Do you ever ponder the meaning of life? Why are we here? Perhaps these questions surface when we receive news we'd rather not receive, the passing of an uncle, a beloved aunt, a friend's spouse who died for the wrong reason. I'm not sure I believe myself when I justify the news by saying this is the circle of life.
