Alchemica Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) "Now the dreaming period is subdivided into four stages. The first stage is the longest... and it's the best... During that stage, the dream is beautiful. The second stage... is not quite so long... and it's a little unsettling... and there's an element of instability in it... a certain touch of insecurity... In the third stage which is not... again so long... the forces of light and the forces of darkness of "good" and of "evil" are equally balanced... and things are begining to look rather dangerous. Now in the fourth stage, which is the shortest of them all... The negative, dark or "evil" side triumphs and the whole thing blows up... and so then there's a waking period before the whole thing starts again..." I know it's just a song but still, could it be the case? Wars are one thing that could be the end I guess... Anyone know who originally came up with the quote? EDIT: Should say spiritual and materialistic instead of "good" and "evil", hard to find appropriate words. Edited June 29, 2009 by Alchemica Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alchemica Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Excellent, thanks for the input. So what do people think might happen if everyone lives for today, takes care of the Earth, shares all the World, lives as One, lives in peace etc? Can too much positive thinking be dangerous? Do "good" and "evil" need to exist for the world to work? I guess the Earth is self-limiting in sustaining population growth in terms of resources, but other than that?
