Cycles Of Expiration

The common idiom that no condition is permanent in life, is a wise and correct expression of an atomic principle known as Stellar Activity Cycle (SAC). Everything composed of matter has a duration or time of expiration, in line with atomic cyclicity. Atom is defined as the smallest part of element which can exist alone or combine with other substances to form molecules. Molecule is the smallest unit into which any substance can be divided without losing its own chemical nature which usually consists of two or more atoms.
The average man rarely knows the mechanism, affinities, repulsions and laws by which the world of matter is governed and regulated. Yet there are several observable features of Nature which give us some insight into the working of Natural Laws. One of such observable features is that human life goes in cycles, with regard to the development, maturity and changes which the body undergoes. All the cells which constitute the body are constantly replaced such that in cycles of seven years old cells are changed or renewed.
The mechanism of SAC has to do with the fact that the physical body as well as the physical human environment are subject to certain regulatory influences coming from external sources. Such influences do not operate arbitrarily but are so well regulated and coordinated that no injustice ever arises. In the reciprocal working of external influences, human free will or volition serves as a steering element, thus ruling out any injustice. We choose!
Like the process of sowing and reaping, every beginning must also have an ending in such a way that the closing of every cycle brings the harvest accruing from previous activity. In-between the beginning and ending of every cycle, there is usually a time of grace, providing an opportunity to correct imbalances along the line. The awareness should grow stronger in every one that the cycle of cause and effect is as real in the sowing and reaping of seeds or crops, as in every other human activity. Human activities also include everything that comes under personal volition, whether expressed in visible engagements or invisible thoughts.
The concept of the cycles of expiration has to do with the fact that grace and opportunities are provided for everyone to create equilibrium whenever personal imbalances exist, arising from numerous personal follies and lapses. A critical study of the rise and fall of various nations in human history would always confirm the truth that corrupt practices, which include pride and vanity, always account for such decline. Follies, lapses and imbalances can always be corrected where the leadership of nations recognise the operations of the cycles of expiration. Obtuseness deadens perception.
There are usually distant, early warning signs before catastrophes and disasters become threatening to human existence. From minor situations and unions, to large-scale ones, crises which lead to total break-down, usually serve warning notices, but at the expiration of such warning signals, then decline process begins. What it takes to avert and tame threatening situations includes being alert inwardly to be able to recognise brewing storms and having the courage to address them, not cover them!
What is known as the apocalypse in the scriptures presents in very obscure manner the operations of the cycles of expiration, using the opening of seals and various “horse men” as harbingers of calamities. Unfortunately obtuse humanity has been unable to unravel that symbolic message, as a result of which we continue to ignore serious warning signs, much less, to act on them. Neither are many people aware of what it is to say that humanity is currently standing in a World Judgment.
While many self-serving organisations worldwide would continue to confuse the masses, it is needful that every individual should make serious personal effort to understand what the cycles of expiration means. It would also be needful to understand the mechanism and patterns of the process, one of which is that the greatest and most glib talkers win the day and run the affairs of men. One of the easily observable evidence of an expiring era is the deadly hustling for power and the disputation that goes with the process. What gives impetus to the process remains obscure.
The few people privileged to have some faint glimpse into the signs of the end-time would tell us that dancers and players in the scenes of action would rarely know when the ovation is over. This obtuseness would lead to what is known idiomatically as macabre dance, or the last dance of death or mental derangement. Long ago, Nigeria, featuring as part of the heart of Africa, was pointed out as a flash point where Kings of Edom would reign before the dawn of a new era. We were told that men of raw power and wit will control the day.
The concept of the cycle of expiration also include some predictions about drastic reduction of global population resulting from acts of madness and attendant cleansing called forth thereby. It was fore-told that humanity will witness the most repulsive excrescences of “an intellectual culture, where there would be growth of knowledge, but with a diminution of conscience”. Kings of Edom would include “crowned ruffians” who would dance in public arena in celebration of their valour.
Unfortunately, records of ancient predictions of the various cycles of expiration became so sadly mutilated and distorted that what is available now hardly portrays the detailed truth. For example, since the dreadful events of the 9/11/2001 World Trade Centre/Pentagon terrorist attack in USA, several records has emerged to tell us what to expect in the years to come. While a global cleansing is a necessity, the mechanism of the process has been presented in terms too technical for an average person to understand. For example, Voyagers (The Secret of Amenti) Volumes 1 and II are too technical and obtuse.
What is important for the reader to note seriously is that things cannot continue the way they are currently, for too long. How the drastic changes will come about would be difficult to say, but apart from physical events, major changes, adjustments and adaptations will take place in the human brains. Expiration of empires and eras usually goes along with sweeping changes and re-alignments, at the end of which would emerge a period of sanity.
