With far-reaching changes happening on virtually a daily basis, many are wondering if we are due for a world-changing global shift, and what the future holds for mankind. Paramhansa Yogananda’s  (author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi) teacher, Sri Yukteswar, offered key insights into this subject nearly a century ago.

He presented a fascinating explanation of the rising and falling eras that our planet cycles through every 24,000 years. The complete cycle is made up of an ascending half, or arc, and a descending one, each lasting 12,000 years. According to these teachings, we have recently passed through the low ebb in that cycle and are moving forward to a higher age—an Energy Age that will revolutionize the world. They declared that we would live in a time of great social and spiritual change, and that much of what we believed to be fixed and true—our entire way of looking at the world—would ultimately be transformed and uplifted. 

In his book, The Holy Science, Sri Yukteswar describes higher ages beyond our own when humanity will communicate telepathically, will understand the subtle laws of thought that underlie energy; will overcome the limitations of time; and will perceive the subtlest law of all – that Divine consciousness underlies all reality.
