when Krishnamurti / head of the Theosophical / Order of the Star / dissolved that / organization / he disavowed allegiance / to any nation, caste / religion, or philosophy / and spent the rest of / his life devoted to / the liberation of the individual / from all cages and fears
Paramahansa Yogananda / appointed no successors / to his ancient yogic lineage / declaring that / the age of the guru was past / destined to be replaced / by a fellowship of spirit
religions have become / violent again, yes again / because they are fighting extinction / have become deficient structures / of consciousness / are being supplanted / by post-religious spirituality
we are moving beyond the cults / of leaders and followers / we are moving away from / nation states towards / a planetary culture
in this new millennium / we are experiencing / a cultural evolution / from institutional religion / to a personal spirituality / in which the unique mind learns / how to immerse itself / into the universal mind through / a process of meditation
the evolution of consciousness / isn’t a journey— / it’s a revelation / a song, a dance / an act of creation / in which division / and ignorance are replaced / with a unity of consciousness / in which all human beings / are gnostic individuals
the manifestation of the supermind / is not a promise but / a living fact playing out / every moment, every day / in the right here / in the right now /
