The Holy Science

[1109]

That's something I've been thinking about as well. My current interpretation is that the cycle of 24000 years that Yukteswar talks about is the same as the major cycle of 25000 years that Ra talks about and that the yugas only apply to third density. Because remember that in third density it is the sub-logos, the sun, that provides most of the catalyst and that the zodiac has effects on personalities, especially for less developed souls. In fourth density there is no veil so the experience is completely different.

Ok, that makes sense - although why are there then 100,000 of these major cycles, according to Sri Yukteswar? Thats 99,997 cycles more than Ra stated (75,000 years for all of third density).

Another thing: It seems to me that if even in ignorant Kali Yuga there were entities capable of preparing themselves for harvest, how could the cycle even continue past Satya Yuga? In that golden age of enlightenment, would not every entity incarnated be well past the 'harvestable' requirement?

Actually, one more: how does this schedule allow for the potential of a planet's service-to-self advancement? It seems that to choose service-to-self as a planet, they would have to depart this cycle altogether.

I've re-read the first part of the book but couldn't find the number 100 000 anywhere. There was a description of the day and night of Brahma being one thousand divine ages, that is for day and night combined 2*12000*1000 = 24000000, 24 million. Ra's cycle is 75 million, maybe there's a connection there?

Yukteswar says these cycles of time only affect those who haven't become divine. I interpret that similar to how less evolved souls are effected primarily by catalyst from the sun. I don't think 4th density and up are as effected by these cycles because of their multidimensional time.

The harvest is now, I don't know how being harvestable in satya yuga affects the harvestability now. I do however think that opening the heart is possible in any age.

It seems to be quite possible to choose the negative path during the golden age, just look at Atlantis.
