Spiritual Evolution Is Cyclical But On An Upward Trend

"The presence of the Supreme God in our galaxy is called the Galactic Logos or the Galactic Parabrahman.

The Golden Age (Spiritual Age) occurs when our solar system is nearest to the center of the galaxy, nearest to the Galactic Logos.

The Dark Age occurs when it is farthest away. This great truth has been taught by the Great Spiritual Teachers. This great truth has been recently clarified by Sri Yukteswar Giri, in his book, The Holy Science, 1894.

Spiritual Evolution is governed by the Law of Cycles. It is cyclical but on an upward trend". (The Existence of God is Self-Evident, pages 57-59)

Cosmic Year

In 1894, Sri Yukteswar wrote the book, The Holy Science. He described that our solar system rotates around a grand center called Vishnunabhi, which is the seat of the creative power. (Page 7)

"According to science, our solar system orbits around the center of the galaxy, along with all the other stars in the galaxy but not within the same period. Stars nearest the center have a shorter period of orbit than those farther out.

Our solar system is located in the outer part of the galaxy. The speed of the solar system due to the galactic rotation is about 220 kilometers per second. The disk of stars in the Milky Way is about 100,000 light years across and our solar system is located about 30,000 light years from the galaxy’s center.

Based on a distance of 30,000 light years and a speed of 220 kilometers per second, our solar system orbits around the center of the Milky Way once every 225 million years.

This period of time is called a cosmic year. Our solar system has orbited the galaxy more than 20 times during its 5 billion year lifetime. The motions of the period are studied by measuring the positions of lines in the galaxy spectra". (http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/StacyLeong.shtml)

"By the latest scientific computation, using a radio telescope system that measures celestial distances 500 times more accurately than the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers plotted the motion of the Milky Way and found that our sun and its family of planets were orbiting the galaxy at about 135 miles per second.

That means it takes the solar system about 226 million years to orbit the Milky Way and puts the most precise value ever determined on one of the fundamental motions of the Earth and its sun, said James Moran of Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts".

Binary and Multiple Stars
According to Sri Yukteswar, in oriental astronomy, moons revolve around their planets, and planets turning on their axis, revolve with their moons around the sun; and the sun, with its planets and their moons, takes some star for its dual and revolves round it in about 24,000 years of our earth—a celestial phenomenon which causes the backward movement of the equinoctial points around the zodiac. (The Holy Science by Sri Yukteswar, page 7)

"Historically, double stars were first noted by Ptolemy. The first double star was discovered and separated with a telescope was by Giovanni Battista Riccioli in 1651, followed by Huygens, 1656.

The first catalog of double stars, a list of 80, was compiled by Christian Meyer of Mannheim in 1778, followed by William Herschel’s catalog in 1782 with 269 pairs and in 1785 of about 700 pairs".

"The term binary star was coined by Sir William Herschel in 1802 to designate, in his definition, 'a real double star – the union of two stars that are formed together in one system by the law of attraction' ".
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_star)

"While there is no obvious visible companion star to our sun, there could be a dark binary, such as a brown dwarf or possibly a relatively small black hole, either of which might be very difficult to detect, without accurate and lengthy analysis".
(http://www.binaryresearchinstitute.org/introduction/binary.shtml)

"It is believed that a quarter to half of all stars are in binary systems, with as many as 10% of these systems containing more than two stars (triples, quadruples, etc.)".
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_stars)

Golden Age and Dark Age
“When the sun reached the point in its orbit which is farthest from the grand center, the intellectual power of man was so diminished that it could no longer comprehend anything beyond the gross material of creation”. (The Holy Science, page 13)

When the sun reaches the point in its orbit which is nearest to the grand center, “The human intellect can comprehend all, even God the Spirit, beyond this visible world”. (The Holy Science, page 11)

The highest point of the Golden Age or the Spiritual Age occurs when the sun is nearest the center of the galaxy, nearest to the Galactic Logos or the Galactic Parabrahman. The lowest point of the Dark Age occurs when the sun is farthest away from the center of the galaxy, farthest from the Galactic Logos or the Galactic Parabrahman.

This is similar to the relationship of a Sat Guru (main spiritual teacher) and his disciple. When the disciple is physically near the Sat Guru, the disciple’s spiritual cord and chakras become much bigger.

The mind of the disciple becomes clear and understanding abstruse matters becomes easy. Achieving higher degree of spiritual oneness and illumination becomes much easier. When the disciple is nearest the Sat Guru, this corresponds to the Golden Age.

When the disciple is physically farther from the Sat Guru, the disciple’s spiritual cord and chakras become much smaller and return to their usual sizes. The mind becomes less clear.

Understanding of abstruse subject matters becomes difficult. Practicing meditation requires much more effort. When the disciple is farthest from the Sat Guru, this corresponds to the Dark Age.

From the lowest point of the Dark Age to the highest point of the Golden Age takes 12,000 years. This is called the ascending arc. From the peak of the Golden Age to the lowest point of the Dark Age takes also 12,000 years. This is called the descending arc. The complete cycle takes 24,000 years. The Golden Age is called Satya Yuga. The Dark Age is called Kali Yuga.

Human evolution is not linear but cyclical on an upward trend. Evolution of civilization is not linear but cyclical, also on an upward trend. Civilizations have risen and fallen countless times.

This is why in ancient civilizations there are mentions of flying vehicles or airplanes and objects that reflect the existence of highly advanced civilizations. This article is a result of the union of science and spirituality

"Real self-knowledge is the awakening to consciousness of the Divine Nature of Man." ~ Helena Blavatsky

"The eyes of wisdom are like the ocean depths; there is neither joy nor sorrow in them. Therefore the soul of the disciple must become stronger than joy, and greater than sorrow. " ~ Helena Blavatsky
