You can see in the human heart, that negative is there, and in the same measure, goodness is there. You see people, how they give freely and they build and create wonderful spaces that are energized with goodness. You see in the human heart, emotional and mental being, there are destructive forces, and there are benevolent or good forces. It is for us to choose. We call one "good" and we call one "bad." It is our interpretation, but these exist. These are the forces of life. And in the same way they are in the individual, they extend in the collective field that we call the "Universe."
There are negative forces in the Universe. It is the sum total of all the evil energy, all the destructive energy, and there are benevolent forces in the Universe, just like within ourselves. And they are the sum total of all the good forces in the Universe, so which do we choose to embrace? It is our choice. We can create a kingdom of goodness and a world of happiness, and surely it will exist because evil will be suppressed. It will be in the shadow.
Surely the goodness will reign, but at some point negative, by its own force in suppression, will rise. When it does, it will begin its ascendancy. The Hindus in the theory of cosmic ages say it very clearly. It is beautiful to look at how they think, that we have ages, cosmic ages, and we move from the negative gradually to the very positive. These cosmic ages are called "Yugas". We move progressively from Kaliyug which is a dark age of destruction, with destructive forces at work in the ascendancy. Then a kind of progression or evolution begins, and we move to Dwapara and then Tretha age, and then to Satyug.
Dwapara
This is the beginning of change where there are a lot of progressive activities, like how we have the industrial revolution.
Tretha
This where the mental age comes in and there are a lot of positive mental forces in creative mode.
Satyug
Then this leads to a period of happiness and joy that is called "Satyug." When Satyug is in ascendancy there is happiness everywhere. There are benevolent energies as though all the good souls in the Universe are being reincarnated during that period and there is a wonderful energy field in the Universe. But in the philosophy or the teaching of the yugas, kalyug is going to come back. So after a certain time of the satyug, the tiny germ (if I were to call it "germ or virus") of kalyug is going to enter, because it exists in the Universe.
All these negative forces that are in suppression, they're finding a little thread and then, like a virus in a system they begin to work themselves in the system. They begin to go again in ascendancy until the whole thing becomes contaminated, then the progressions start again.
If we look at aging in the human experience, should we call aging a bad thing when we grow old and wrinkled, and the body gets weaker and frail, and the eyes can hardly see and the voice can hardly speak and the back becomes bent? Is it a bad thing? It's life. The body is going to be destroyed. But for us who live in the body, what we can do is choose to stay happy in the internal state. We can choose to shine goodness through these beautiful eyes. We can love the body; take care of it as it ages so that the body can die out of wear and tear and not degeneration. With an improper lifestyle the body degenerates: diabetes, hypertension, and all the degenerative diseases come into the body and the body ages even more and it dies prematurely. You see it in human beings. They die at 60, 70 or 80, when the human being was designed to live 120 or 130 years.
If we keep our lifestyle in the best way, however, and if the genes are good, we can actually experience the body having a slow wear and tear, and suddenly stop. So, if we look at the Universe, we will see that negative energies are part of the Universe and it's for us to accept that it's part of the territory and learn to work with it. To work with the good, that we may experience the good and protect ourselves. The field of goodness protects us from the evil field but not to deny the evil field. It exists in the Universe. People will be destructive; they will be mean to you. You can't trust everyone. No matter how loving they speak, you cannot trust.....
