The Evolution of Human Consciousness and Spiritual Traditions

As human consciousness evolves, spiritual traditions also evolve to adapt to the changes. In the past, humans were clairvoyant, but this ability diminished over time. The current sleeping trance state of humanity contributes to destructive behavior. The goal is to achieve constant consciousness through self-remembering. However, caution must be exercised to avoid ego inflation. This is a critical time to break old patterns and regain ancient skills. By choosing the skillful way, one can progress faster, suffer less, and help others do the same.
