We are currently living in the Kali Yuga, an era that challenges our ability to maintain the awareness of various layers of reality necessary to act as a vehicle for the supreme consciousness.

“We are already in kalyuga and kalyuga is already making it more difficult for us to maintain that awareness of all the different layers of reality that is essential if we are to continue doing what we need to do which is act as a vehicle for the supreme reality of consciousness.”

The concept of 'Earth School' serves as a useful framework for viewing suffering and hardship as purposeful lessons designed for individual soul growth rather than as random occurrences.

“And what is it about choosing, knowing that you've had a choice in selecting these lessons that change how we experience the troubles, the challenges, the hardship that we may experience in life if we know that it isn't random?”
