Thanks for quoting me in my entirety Steve- Truly. Superficial virtue is something we seem to suffer from here in the United States. Maybe we will send billions to our Muslim Brothers and Sisters who are being raped and tortured by Chinese officials to help them rebel against China???
My take on it is this. Our souls tend to rebel against the difficult and slow moving evolution taking place on the earth plane at this time. There are so many back slides in us and the world around us. Sometimes we see people like ourselves creating challenging karma rather than resolving it. This is all part of a transition period we have been goin through since the late 1800’s. A 200 year transition time between the dark Kali yoga, or Iron Age and the merging Dwapara Yuga or Bronze Age. Remnants of the dark ages still linger with us-vast times of total denial of soul recognition and kindness to our spiritual family around the globe. Times when emperors and leaders in power used very barbaric tactics to subdue the masses and their followers willingly involved in unquestionably abusive practices to those in their immediate local. No doubt your soul having had experiences from life times of being in more harmonious environments for its expression rebels at such barbaric behavior and atrocious actions committed by others. We have some purpose here though Eric and I think both of us are ‘seeing’ that more clearly as the events of our present incarnation unfold before our souls awareness.
I recall having a class in high school that was tied to community work and I was working for Dominoes Pizza and the manager there was grading me on my service. To give you an example of what I really learned I will tell you one thing he demanded that I do as an assignment and part of my grade.
He told me to go to the telephone booth which he could see from the Dominoes Pizza location and order 10 or 12 pizzas from his competitor ‘Little Caesar’s’ Pizza and have them delivered to a fictitious address. Knowing that my grade depended on it and just how despicable he was I went to the telephone booth and pretended to order the pizzas. So as you see their are people who have no moral scruples and are still lingering on from a barbaric period in history. He also showed some of the abusive tactics you have shown here of the Chinese torture camps. We have to do what we can and what we see as possible in the moral dilemma's presented to us and sometimes we are not successful in our ‘karmic tests’ which are higher ‘grades’ then any worldly school can determine. Grades that obviously supersede any worldly school such as ‘re-education’ camps in communist China.

The purpose of the present article is to suggest an additional enhancement to Yukteswar’s Yuga theory, adding a set of ‘subyugas’ or minor yugas to add more detail to it.
These additional subperiods can explain historical changes over centuries that the Yuga model of thousands of years can miss.They also tell us why, though we are no longer in the Kali Yuga, that we are still in a difficult time that is likely to continue for some decades.
First of all, let us take a quick overview of Sri Yuktewar’s Yuga theory. Yukteswar proposes a four yuga cycle of 12,000 years with transitional periods called ‘sandhis’ coming in between. Each sandhi is 10% the length of the main period and occurs at both its beginning and end.
Kali Yuga of 1000 years has two sandhis of 100 years for a total of 1200 years. Dwapara Yuga of 2000 years has two sandhis of 200 years for a total of 2400 years. Treta Yuga of 3000 years has two sandhis of 300 years for a total of 3600 years. Satya Yuga of 4000 years has two sandhis of 400 years for a total of 4800 years. This makes for a total of 12,000 years for the cycle of the four yugas.
