The Earth needs to transform energy related to the mineral kingdom, the earth needs to transform energy related to the plant kingdom, and also to the animal and humanoid kingdom. Why is that?

The key passage says:  "These are the obstacles [to achieving yoga]: disease, dullness, doubt, carelessness, laziness, intemperance, worldliness or sensuality, mistaken notions due to illusions, missing the point, instability, causing distractions of the mind. Pain, despair, tremor of the body, [irregular] inhalation and exhalation are the companions of the causes of distraction [oscillation of the mind].

Cyclically, it conducts the Gnostic arhat to that ancient patriarchal epoch, denominated the Age of Bronze, or Dvapara Yuga, which indubitably preceded our contemporary Age of Iron, or Kali Yuga... The best authors of occultism have always affirmed that the second transalpine catastrophe, which completely modified the geological physiognomy of the planet Earth, occurred between these two ages. The seventh, among the ten sublime anti-delugean patriarchs, is without any supposition, completely different from the six who in the course of the centuries preceded him... (Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared), as well as the three who succeeded him (Methuselah, Lamech, Noah). Nonetheless, it is clear that among all of this

Explains the three primary aspects of consciousness, the process by which we find ourselves in our current state of confusion and suffering, and how to free ourselves from this confusion. "We are constantly perceiving the world in a way that doesn't actually correspond to reality. We receive the world, and impress that world upon our mind in a way that does not correspond to the actual state of affairs. When you start to think, “Why do I keep making mistakes? Why do I keep striving at something and I can’t seem to get it?” It is because we are continuously seeing the world in the wrong way, and we are basing our actions off misperceptions."

Worship goes to the Indweller, the Lord in the form. It is ignorance to think that one form is superior to another. All forms are one and the same. All are adoring the same Lord. The differences are only differences of names due to differences in the worshippers, but not in the object of adoration. The real Jesus or Krishna is in your own heart. He lives there for ever. He is your Indweller. He is your partner always. There is no friend like the Indweller. Resort to Him. Take refuge in Him. Realise Him and be free.” - Swami Sivananda
