We hear talk about the Inner World and the Outer World. For most, this creates a vague atmosphere without much understanding. This is because the senses, and the timeless forms of ACTION-Gunas, work together to make the world we see external AND MEANINGFUL to us, and whatever conversation might go on about the Inner World is mostly just talk. Materialism is reaching a certain level of pervasiveness, in which headhunters might soon have lawnmowers, whether they know what to do with them or not. We have all sorts of things we don't know how to use either.

If you have made any study of films-books and their construction then you know about plot devices, story structure, and points of transition. You got your Prologue and hooks, you got your mid-point, climaxes, denouement, and Epilogues. Sometimes there is Resolution but... these days, that's hit or miss. Life is the same.

Life IS A MOVIE, or a DREAM if you prefer; merrily... merrily. They are so similar. In life, there are also stages of advancement and retreat as well. Life also has prologues and all the rest that I already listed. To get where we are, presently, we had to go through all kinds of changes. There were Revolutionary Wars and Civil Wars and World Wars, famines and plagues. Tales of greed and ambition abound. We have come to the moment of denouement, as the world teeters of the edge of catastrophe. Millions are caught up in the runaway brush-fires of appetite and desire and we got icons aplenty for all that but... few representatives of a higher desire and spiritual hunger. Most are feeding that area of their being with the same things they feed their material needs with. That doesn't work. It gives a terrible kind of indigestion. It has the same result as feeding chocolate to a dog, or cocaine to a monkey.
