 WHAT IS 47?
Ever heard of New Age Spirituality? Collective Consciousness ? or people trying to move from a  4D  form of the sense of

awareness to a  7D? Synchronicity? Eternal Beings? Yoga? Chakra System? Reiki? Kundalini? Sensing & Healing Energy etc.

Well if you have come across it or heard of it but never took a peek or had just a glance, this piece is an attempt to summaries

the current changing of human consciousness and their thought pattern. To comprehend and digest it better you must have

come across this evolutionary phenomena that a certain species has some evolutionary development at one part of the globe

and slowly yet gradually the very same species evolves across other parts of the world without any interactions.

Well, it seems we are at the very cusp of witnessing something similar but in human beings and this outbreak is much of a result of

our inert desire to come out of this restraining and weakening systems that seems to be slowly breaking across the globe. If you ever

noticed in News you may come across too many rebels and protests happening against the system in some of the other forms. In a

more simplified way to put it, post-2008 Recession many moved to Self Help Books and Guidance to get success and all but after a

lot of collective understanding, they realized that much of the Self Help Theories & Concepts come mostly from old Spiritual

Philosophy & School. This is An Indic Interpretation of Modern Society in Crisis & how to steer around it in the coming years.

 SOUL

With the recent development and growth in the field of quantum physics, the day has finally dawned upon us When

Science & Spirituality are merging as they speak the same. 

'After all, We are all just energy.'

As per one of the oldest religion (Sanatan Dharma) and even New Age Spirituality:  A Soul (Atma) is an Eternal

Consciousness having a temporary experience in a human, animal or plant-based form to learn, experience and

reincarnate again and again until it finally merges with the Ultimate Source (Param Atma) and the union between the

soul and ultimate source liberates the soul from the cycle of life and death.

But to pursue liberation the soul must have an enriched and complete life so that the soul doesn't have to reincarnate

multiple times and can compile much of its learning and experience in one lifetime than multiple lifetimes.  Yet it seems

that with the degradation on all factors around the life we may have succumbed to a never-ending process. There are

societal issues and other related issues which seems to block the actual endeavor of every soul in our modern lifetime.

Some I have elucidated below to critically interpret every aspect of Modern Era or Kal Yug.

 POWER

Ever since we moved from an Autocratic Monarchy based Power System to a more people-oriented Parliamentary form of

Power distribution, there isn't one nation which can deny corruption and manipulation of power for selfish interest by

Politicians, Stakeholders, Religious Groups & Lobbyist.

Majority of the time spent in the Parliament seems to be around parties & individuals trying to get their hands on power

through democratic means and tools than putting much of the time on actual Governance which has adversely affected

the growth and development of Nation and even slowed down the development of citizens and their standard of living.

In contrast, although in an Autocratic Monarchy based Power System the power was limited in some hands but it seemed

that at least the Kings or Queens were liable to their people throughout their life, meanwhile we keep getting newer and

newer leaders for a limited period of 5 years which if their popularity prevails may prolong to 10 to max 15 years.

Yet there’s so much disparity of income distribution, huge class disparity and majority of the public seems to have lost

their voice which was the actual essence of a Parliamentary form of Governance & this Prime Ministry or Presidential

Leaders seems like mere part of puppetry than actual Leaders.

 MONEY

In the beginning, money was integrated into society to act as a substitute to the barter system as often in barter system

people were unable to transact directly as each individual’s requirements differ from one another.

Thus Money was supposed to act only as a medium to ease of better transactions but ever since the practice of hoarding

and storing huge amount of money in the form of gold, silver, paper and now numbers in accounts in digital space, money

seems to have become the only and only yardstick for defining an individual’s success or growth.

This excessive importance given to Money has grossly hindered the collective growth and evolution of society as it has

percolated in all aspects of life and has maligned the very essence of life in itself.

Every aspect of life has been commercialized and the general public perceives everything in industries be it

education, lifestyle, food, clothing, real estate, pharmaceutical, self-help, and even spirituality. There is no denying

that Money coupled with Politics has severely corrupted various Government and Public Organization at a Global

Scale.

 RELIGION
Religion along with Money & Power has also become a deadly triad which seems to act more towards the erosion of righteousness

or  Dharma  which were formed to be the Consciousness for the society. Modern Religious Groups have become self-appointed

custodians of spiritual knowledge as instead of spreading the knowledge they seem to have hidden the true meaning by compiling

them and jumbling in mythical allegories.

While most of the Religion across the Globe are busy fighting among each other to prove that they had the true message and the

messenger than the other or only they have comprehended the true God while other religions are Demon Worshiper, Pagan or Kafir.

Religious Identity has become so toxic that they are a single source of division between people worldwide and a crucial reason

historically for major wars, crusades, massacres, and even genocides. While the Western Interpretation of God i.e. Islam, Christianity

& Judaism are Monotheist and believe in a concept of single God with a concept of single birth & death followed by Heaven & Hell,

the Eastern Interpretation of God i.e. Hinduism, Jainism & Buddhism on the contrary are more vast in concepts with Polytheism (33

Million Gods) and the concept of rebirth and reincarnation evolving right from an insect to a plant to an animal to a human being

until a soul is finally ready to unite with the higher source and be liberated from the cycle of life and birth. 

By having so much of disparity and a chaotic scenario around Religion mixed with perversion as Religion aligned to the interest of

Power & Money majority of the people today have moved out of Religion towards Atheism followed by into Agnostic to our Modern

New Age Spiritualist.

 MEDIA

There has been no age before Information age with such a high magnitude of media consumption be it Entertainment, News or

Advertisement which have created Brands, Labels, Celebrities and Movies some even bigger than the image of God.

While the Advertisement Media are upfront and bold in selling with their Capitalist Motifs, the Entertainment & News Media, on

the other hand, play deep and dark in their subtlety building mental narratives or fear projection to constantly keep the public on

the edge of their seat. Making them more and more dependent on everything and rely only on public opinion than make one's

own judgment with factual discernment.

There is absolutely no denying that we are at the Prime of Maya and her play as we have such a huge amount of content being

pushed on to us. While Entertainment, News or Advertisement wasn't enough Social Media has brought out the true anxiety of

people as they are now constantly seeking social validation in their subscriptions, shares, followers, and likes. Leading to many

falls again in the limbo of depression that they were always going through be it due to relationship or career.

There is no denying that even Media working in tandem with Power, Religion & Money has severely reduced our

perception of life as we seek to build a lifestyle over living an enriched and engaging complete life. It's ironic that the

more you engage in media the more isolated you get from people in general.

 EDUCATION & WORK

Think back, look around and tell me those skills that education allowed you to learn which you genuinely wished to learn

against those skills and knowledge that you took up to be more employable than enriching and engaging. 

I know there aren't many who can think ahead of it. Our education system across the world seems to be developed in a way to

generate labor class, white collared, laptop carrying and body-hugging suits wearing individuals who look all the same

working in a self contained cubicle against a certain reward system that rewards those who are willing to give their life (14 to

18 hours of crunch work) literally than actually lead a life. 

Meanwhile their sense of excitement, fun or leisure comes out in hangout with people, consuming alcohol, drugs, partying, sex,

gaming, movies lavish outing basically splurging back to the system and keeping this full circle running all over again. As they

talk endlessly about sports, politics, news, celebrities, movies, web series, sitcom, gossips, etc just basically lost in Maya. 

Modern Education system is expensive, promotes isolated and selective stream-based knowledge, divides classrooms into

individuals on inter rivalry basis through marks based system and gives preference on IQ over EQ. It may be relevant to the

Industrial Era making labor out of people but is it relevant now. Top it with major Social Validation norm of getting degrees &

diplomas and PhDs to stress on their expertise on a certain subject than others.

 HEALTH & PHARMA
70% of the Adult US Population have in some or the other way consumed antidepressants on a regular basis for a certain

span of time or are still dependent on it. There is no denying the regular opioid outbreak news and its repercussion as many

were found to be moving from opioids to heroin.

Now can someone explain to me a Country where all Dreams come true and are much more developed than any other

country are having a mental crisis? Would a person living in a comfortable cozy house in California need opioids more than

a person sustaining and experiencing shelling and firing in a place like Syria?

But this dependency model formed around Pharma companies which are acting more like Drug Peddlers than be the

Providers of genuine cure to the patient questions their very motive to saving people or making profits through the illusion of

saving people.

We live in a world where we are generating 3 times more food than before yet 1/3rd of the world population lives in

starvation yet the food industry is feeble in comparison to the size of Pharma Industry at a Global Scale. It's like a

never-ending system which survives on the weak and rejects out all the rebels as even herbal options such as

cannabis was banned for nearly half a century until now.

 SOCIETY

Clearly, we seem to have been living under some kind of spell or illusion that everything that I have mentioned above

eluded your mind. Many start witnessing these issues and pattern its these early observers which are leading the

pack of truth sayers and seekers. But many are still stuck in the big huge framework which I shall show you in a more

finer construct. Our current society evolved from a tribe to a kingdom to civilization and now post-modern world, yet

there are these 4 primary actors or Characters (Char Actors) have prevailed since time immemorial:

Tribal | Kingdom | Civilization | Post Modern

Gatherer | Farmer | Artisan/Labor | Labor

Hunter | Warrior | Soldier/Administrator | Military

Shaman | Spiritual Leader | Saints/Scientist | Religion

Explorer | Tradesman | Business Man/Traveller | Business

 ASHRAM
Looking at the Society and its 4D Framework around it seems there is something missing thus many destitute and people who have

witnessed enough pain, loss and remorse often go to Ashram seeking answers to come out of this Maya or Chakravyuh as they reach out to

the 5th Character the Hermits, the Saints, the Rishis and Enlightened Beings who have renounced everything with no desire for fame,

money, power or companionship, all in pursuit of attaining oneness with Param Atma.

While its a bit difficult to follow the path of Sannyasin, a person can still gain abundant wisdom coming to an Ashram. Because an

Ashram is a place which accepts all kind of people drug addicts, alcoholic, lost souls & all the social rejects are invited as Ashram truly

means to come without shame. And these Ashram do not need to be run by some Popular Spiritual Leader but even simple living Rishis &

Sadhus seeking their own personal goal while helping and guiding others through the Practice of Yoga and rectifying a person's Sanskriti,

Sanskaar & thus Sansaar.

Sanskriti: The Rythm of the Breathe (Sans + Kriti) developed through Asanas, Pranayams & Dhayanas

Sanskaar: Thoughts & Actions conducted by a individual or a Soul now in a better, calm & relaxed Mental State of Awareness due to

having better control on ones Sanskriti.

Sansaar: Saar means the essences of life and now with better & improved sanskriti and sanskaar one can truely manifest a better

sansaar around himself/herself.

Many seek out for this very sanskriti and sanskaar as they then go back to society and enrich their sansaar or manifest with a better sense

of awareness & its this very practice running since 1000 of years in India. This is the true sanskriti and sanskaar of India than I don't know

what Bhartiya Sanksriti people uphold to and fight for in modern world.

 YOGA

Yoga means a union between the Soul, the Body (physical construct) & the Mind (mental construct) by incorporating a

certain discipline Asanas, Pranayams & Dhayanas with a complete or better understanding of Chakra System that exists

within our body.

Asanas: To Align our Physical Body one must have to undergo through 84 forms of asanas or pick one of the asanas and

master it enough to hold the asana for nearly 2.5 hours. Asanas prepare the body to later manage and work around

prana or energies.

Pranayam:  This if a form of Breathing practice where one masters and gets a sense of awareness and control on their

breathing, meanwhile slowly trying to raise and circulate the prana (energy) along with the air.

Dhayna: Dhayna or Meditation can also be further divided into Dharana, Dhayna & Samadhi, but it would be ideal for

first timers to go with Dhayna or Meditation.

Chakra System: The Chakra System is a blueprint of energy channel along with its major and minor points i.e 7 major

chakra starting from the bottom of the spine upto the crown of the head while these chakras are connected by 112

different minor chakra within the body which are further down connected by 72,000 nadis or energy channels.

 3D, 4D, 5D TO 7D

3D Consciousness is being on a Survival Mode like most other animals: Food, Sex & Power

4D Consciousness is going a bit higher but still being stuck in the rut: Food, Sex, Money & Power

5D Consciousness, on the contrary, allows a person to become more aware of his/her existence and how all things around are very much

internal as well as external. The 5 Characters are actually the 5 elements which are responsible for the physical construct of a Body while

the Space or Ether is part of the mental construct of the Mind and finding a way to align the Body, Mind & Soul will help a person

understand that while we perceive the world in a more 7D form be it 7 Colors, 7 Days in a week, 7 Sensory Receptors (5 + Pineal,

Pituitary) or even 7 Endocrine glands. The question is then why do we live in a 4D form of Framework if we resonate so much with 7D?

Pineal Gland: is responsible for releasing Serotonin in the Morning & Melatonin to support our sleep cycle.

Pituitary Gland: is responsible for awareness of Center of Gravity, try revolving in a circle like a child and you may feel dazed &

confused.

Earth: Artistry & Creativity

Water: Seeking Truth & Intelligence 

Fire: Warrior & Organizer

Air: Explorer & Tradesman

Ether: Reclusive Hermit

Now being aware of the 5D Consciousness one can truly interpret whats the purpose of your Soul and its desire to unite with Param Atma.

attaining that level of consciousness is to attain Enlightenment which is a spiritual feat of the highest level.

 CONCLUSION
To conclude this piece at the end what I have experienced or came across is that the majority of people between the age group of 28-35

are having such sudden and heightened interest in spirituality. I am not asking anyone to pursue all of it or go for some expensive fancy

Ashram or Spiritual Retreat, we are all adults to decide for ourselves but I would strongly & truly suggest incorporating  Meditation. 

Since we are moving to the  World of AI  and things are getting confusing risky & clueless in the near future, many are fearing loss of jobs

as  AI  (Artificial Intelligence) can do things far better than us. I just coined a new way to look at Meditation called  AAI

Meditation  i.e  Accumulate, Assimilate & Integrate.  Realizing that as a soul we are very much a huge repository of experiences, memories,

and emotions that drive our life around, but oftentimes these memories are hooked with painful emotions and that's how we also identify

with emotions. If I say pain or heartbreak you instantly revisit the day you had heartbreak its this interpretation of emotions along with

memories which shape your ideas, thoughts, goals, life purpose, etc. But if one could revisit those memories (1000 times) and one by one

unhook the grip of painful emotions around it you may free yourself of your past and your past won't define your present and future but

instead your current present would define your present and you may move on. So you are an accumulation of memories which if you

assimilate and integrate through meditation you can truly move ahead in life way beyond your expectation from life. Ironically even your

current expectation from life up till now is defined by your memories, emotions, and thoughts.

Note: This piece is to help out those having similar symptoms or spiritual inclination, I have no desire to become some Spiritual Guru or

Sadhguru I would rather be Sadha Chhatra or a Student for Life as I have come to realize that there is so much to learn & I am in my own

pursuit. But I am an open and available to listen to genuine queries and doubt.
