Yes, fortunately, common sense prevailed. His book 'Dialogues...' was forbidden in 1633 but then authorized by the same Church in 1710. The dawn of Dwapara Yuga started to shed some light after the darkness of Kali Yuga.
mccoy; thanks for the information on Galileo above and the ‘awakening’ you speak of above I’m happy 😊 to know someone else is seeing all the correlations in Sri Yukteswar’s Yuga outline. When periods of time are put together with the higher Egyptian and Greeks in architecture and philosophy and Hindu cosmology from the Mahabharata it starts making a lot of sense that these were much higher times; a bygone Dwapara and Treta yuga. The Atlantis and Lumerian age dating back to the Satya Yuga are no longer the fiction of the mind of skeptics. I just have faith that astronomers will also find what they have missed; something (a dual to our star ) up till this time.
That would make Kriya like a ‘mighty wind’ ( as Paramahansa Yogananda coined it for future times ahead) that moves humanity forward to such a degree that we would no longer appear to be pioneers for a new age. Many concepts, practices and ideas that are the talk of this site will become common practices for much and finally most of humanity. Intellectual concepts originating in the causal realm eventually work their way to the physical realm which brings upliftment to humanity. I know it is not a coincidence that I have met so many psychics and spiritual seekers in my life. It is best to recognize who we are and our destiny in this life and not miss the opportunities before us because of the influence and presence of most of the souls of those around us (in the early Dwapara Yuga) who live at an ant pace of discovery in the purpose of their lives.
Everyone has something unique to give to others and to contribute to serving humanity. Some people find that gift at an early age others waste away their lives and never even seek to find. And their are those who find it but often lose it by the environment and people they let influence their lives; They may eventually find their purpose again, although through much suffering.
