THE LAST ONE BILLION SECONDS
A Thought-Provoking Revelation





This experiential sharing is thought-provoking. Due to the inherent sensitivity of some of this information, it is just being freely offered as an additional knowledge. Whether you accept it as truth or not is entirely up to you.

This subject deals about the interplay of human souls, God, time, and the cycle of humanity. Some parts of this topic deal with the perceived closeness of the end of time. The amazing speed of technological advances seems to contribute to the increasing degradation of our human existence. Both believers and non-believers refer to this phenomenon as one of the “signs of the times”.  Everything here is shared and nothing is imposed. Do guard your own belief and faith as you read this, but if it challenges the way you look at things, then, just take this as another story about human existence.

MY PERSONAL MISSION

I made a promise that I will spend the remaining years of my productive life in introducing God to all His children, His greatest creations.  My only request is for you to just give me the opportunity to do this by keeping an open mind as you read this.

Actually, I have a very selfish motive in sharing this topic.  I just want to make sure that I will not be blamed by anyone in the future for not doing it. Everything in this topic is exposed and nothing is imposed.  I am just playing my part in the drama we call life. I am leaving the rest up to you for your intellect to churn and imbibe.  If you think it will spiritually help you and your loved ones to experience the essence of this topic, then, by all means, take it.  It is yours and all yours for free.  If not, then, by all means, leave everything behind and just consider it as part of your reading experience.

Likewise, I am not trying to be a doomsayer who instills fear in your hearts and minds.  You might think that I am talking about the end of the world.  End of the world?  No, I am not and I will not. But I will be touching on how human beings, by building nuclear weapons of mass destruction are being influenced by ego and greed, not knowing how this will be instrumental to destroy the world. Nature will play her part as helper and balancer to complete the job through natural calamities and disasters.
 
It is my concern and sincere hope that you will make it your mission too. At the end of the day, my main purpose for sharing this is to encourage you to be more loving, happy and peaceful everyday by appreciating where you are and what you have right now. For nobody knows what scene will unfold next in this drama of life. And so we must take every chance to live our lives to the best that we can, and fulfill the part that we are here to play.

As a disclaimer, please consider all the knowledge and information that I am going to share here as my own personal interpretation and does not represent in any manner any of my sources and references.

THE SECRETS ABOVE ALL SECRETS

1. That we are all souls, not just bodies but spiritual beings.  As souls, we are all points of light, immortal, eternal, infinitesimal and beyond measure. As souls, we are all created in the divine image of God, the Father, the Supreme Soul.

2. That God, the Father is also a soul, the Supreme Soul and the Highest on High.  God, as a Soul like us, is beyond birth and death.  A soul is not born and therefore cannot die. Because it is not created, it cannot be destroyed.

3. That all of us will have our own heaven and hell, according to our own time and part in this Heaven and hell are simply metaphors for the consciousness of humanity at certain ages in the history of human life. Heaven pertains to the time when humanity experienced a Golden Age, also known in various cultures and religions as Garden of Eden, Garden of Allah, Paradise, Atlantis, Vaikunth, Land of Immortality. It was a paradisical state of perfection of human souls and the natural environment, where abundance, happiness, peace and goodness reigned, where sorrow was never known.

Hell, on the other hand, refers to the Iron Age of humanity, where the extreme darkness of the vices, sorrow, poverty, war, disease, ignorance and degradation in all aspects of human life and the natural world are experienced. Humanity, right now, has reached the very end of this age.

But as a benevolent Parent, God comes at this very dark time to take all souls back with Him to the Supreme Abode, His residence, the land of silence and stillness. It is the original home of all human souls.

4. That from the Supreme Abode, when our individual time comes, we will all come down to earth, take and enter fully developed human bodies to express our spirituality, depending on our individual karmic accounts and bondages.

And within the world cycle of perfection and imperfection, happiness and sorrow, victory and defeat, every human soul will experience their own extreme happiness, or their heaven, and their own extreme sorrow, their hell.

5. That God comes at the end of the Iron Age when all human beings are impure, when the world is in chaos, in state of constant degradation, irreligiousness, war, famine, calamities, and when the world is in the brink of total destruction.

6. That God comes during the benevolent and most auspicious Confluence Age, which is a small age of 100 years that co-exists with the Iron Age. He comes at this special time in order to reveal to human souls their true identity as spiritual beings, as well as to reveal His true identity and part in the drama of life. He especially comes to purify all of souls and to bring us back Home, the Supreme Abode. He also teaches us that this cycle of heaven and hell, light and dark, happiness and sorrow in the human world repeats identically, accurately and exactly every 5,000 years.

7. That God, the Father of all souls, came down to earth sometime in 1936, somewhere in the East, entered an impure human body, and used this body as His instrument to teach us the divine, true and accurate knowledge about Him, His children and the whole world.

8. That the three (3) most fatal errors and greatest mistakes which we, human beings, have committed against God, the Father are:

A. That God is Omnipresent.  It means He is present and living in stones, pebbles, chairs, plants, trees, churches, temples, mosques, in the hearts of human beings and in all His physical and material creation(s).

B. That human beings are and can also become God.

C. That the duration of the world cycle is hundreds of thousands of years instead of only 5,000 years.

THE HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY OF THE WORLD

It is said that the World Drama Cycle is composed of four (4) major ages and they are the Golden, Silver, Copper and Iron Ages.  The fifth one is called the Confluence Age or Diamond Age.  The world cycle is divided into half:  first is the age of light and then comes the age of darkness. First is the day and then comes the night; first is heaven, and then hell.

The whole duration of the cycle is not more than 5,000 years and each age has1250 years. The Iron Age co-exists with the Confluence Age because it is the transition period between the Iron and Golden Ages. It is likened to the time of dawn, where night meets day, where the darkness is slowly being broken by the first shafts of sunlight. Some say that out of the 100 years of the Confluence Age, only 27 years remain. To give us an idea about this, we are all encouraged to observe what is really happening in our world every day. Probably, the best sources are the newspapers, news reports, and the internet. Or maybe just by looking at the current state of your city or town compared to how it was 10 years ago. Try watching the media, or just observe the state of things in your own community. You would most likely conclude that certainly, things have never been as unpleasant as they are nowadays.

Likewise, during the full 5,000 years of the cycle, human souls could take a maximum of 84 births. Golden-aged souls would have a maximum of eight (8) births, and in each birth, a Golden-aged human soul lived a lifespan of 150 years. Silver Age has 12 births and human beings lived up 90 years old, Copper Age has 21 births and 60 years lifespan.

In the Iron Age, meantime, human souls only live on an average of 45 years. It is but logical that the lifespan during the olden days was much longer because of the high level of purity of the minds of all the human inhabitants, including nature and the environment.  It was very peaceful then and absolutely no type of stress or sorrow. Everything was in abundance and the conditions were only of perfect peace and harmony. Can you imagine such a world?

The foundation of life, then and now, is purity and it is measured by “celestial degrees”, which means the fullness of divine virtues as expressed by human beings.  Golden-aged souls had a full and perfect 16 celestial degrees, which meant they had all the arts and virtues of life in their full expression. But due to decadence and degradation over time, these ‘degrees’ decrease by age. Thus, Silver-aged souls only have 14 degrees, Copper-aged souls have 10, and Iron-aged souls only have 4 degrees remaining. 

The population of the first inhabitants of the Golden Age was only 900,000. At the end of the Silver Age, the population increased to 3.3 million. Emperors and Empresses, kings and queens used to lead in the golden and silver ages. But instead of being tyrannical, these leaders were totally pure, peaceful, and loving—it was as if they acted as parents such that the entire kingdom felt like one happy family, constantly exchanging love and happiness in every action.
 
On the other hand, the number of people in the whole of Copper Age steadily increased and reached 330 million with 108 royal constituents to lead as kings and queens, and princes and princesses.  The beginning of the Copper Age saw the emergence of the four (4) major religions, namely the Jewish, Buddhist, Christian and Muslim religions. Greed and sex-lust started to dominate the minds of Copper-aged inhabitants.  At the end this age, we witnessed the beginning of wars as kingdoms conquered one another for power and control.

Through the present technology, we can now access some vital secrets which when revealed can change the directions of the world. This Iron Age has an estimated 5.5 Billion people with (16,108-Where did this figure come from? Rough estimate from 2, 8, 108 and 16,108) chosen leaders to lead them as Presidents and Prime Ministers, etc.  Figures show that the population has already reached the 6 billion estimated population ceiling. But given a 10% birth and death rate allowance, the 5.5 billion is still close to being accurate.

If we try to imagine the situation of the world and the condition of its inhabitants in each and every age, the dominant factor in Golden Age was peace followed by happiness.  As the level purity or celestial degrees decreased, the population also increased and the dominant condition or situation has changed. 

The Copper Age was slowly showing degradation as sorrow already crept in due to the foremost vices of greed and sex-lust.  It was the time of the great religious leaders to present themselves to the people to avert further decline in human values. They brought with them teachings that became the foundation of the religions they founded.

Unfortunately, religions and their respective founders failed to unite their followers. In Iron Age, we saw that the main cause of war is due to religious strife.  Greed has been the great motivator for all the great nations that spend billions of dollars to build nuclear weapons in the guise of self-preservation and protection of their respective constituents. As a result, 1.2 billion hungry men, women and children in the poorest of the poor nations languish in poverty and hunger.

Many people are praying very hard to God to end their misery and suffering. While destruction of the environment is massively happening through the misuse of science and technology, nature too is also cooperating very well through natural calamities and disasters.  So, where do you think the world is heading?  I will leave that up to your imagination.

CIRCLES, CYCLES AND QUARTERS

If we thoroughly observe our lives, we will see some circles, cycles and quarters that affect what we think or do, or the way we live and relate to others.  There are four seasons and every time the season changes, we also change our moods and lifestyle as we make conscious effort to adapt to the physical changes.  You can add more if you wish but allow me to limit the list to the following:

1. As social and economic beings, we need to work and eat, eat and play, play and pray.  Thus, we must seek employment to earn an income in order to have money and buy what we need.  This leads to consumption of goods to create more demand for the products which will eventually pump-up the production line and spur the economy for businesses to make respectable profit to pay the employees.  Let us call this as the “economic cycle”.

2. There are four (4) major forces in the world which affect and have great impact in our lives.   First would be the religions which are becoming powerful everyday. The division of religions into many different factions and branches has become one of the main causes of wars in the world. Next is education.  While it is not gaining power, it is losing its value in society because it has failed to sustain the values it is supposed to stand for. The third would be the banks and the manipulated monetary systems which create dependency on different forms of debt that are pre-meditated and calculated to benefit the few.  And the fourth is the politics of greed for power and control which stifle the freedom of choice under the precept of democracy.  These four (4) major forces are inside the circle but they do not necessarily follow a specific order.

3. While there are major forces in the world that affect us but we have no full control over, we have also our quarters in the circle and cycles. Inside the Circle of Influence is the Self, God, Family and Job over which we have full control and influence.  Anything and anyone outside this circle is part of the bigger one called the Circle of Concerns which the immediate members of our families, our relatives friends and co-workers, our community and our country belong.  If we have enough resources and if our state of mind permits, let us get out of our Circle of Influence and help, otherwise, if we cannot help outside, it is then better for us to go back inside of our own circle to reflect more. Yes, Sister. We have a visual aid to use. (NOTE: Can you please place a visual if these cycles and circles in your book and website. They will be clearer to the readers with visuals.)

4. I am not a numerologist but I love to play with numbers. In a timeline, the numbers 7, 8, 9 and 10 have spiritual meanings.

A. If we draw and look at number seven (7) in relation to our lives, there is a parallel line on top, flat like a plateau.  At the end, while still connected, there is a sudden down stroke as we take this path and fall hard.  Then, to reach back the end point where we came from, we create a hard climb, a shortcut.  We sometime do this in our own lives. The number 7 represents uncertainty and instability.

B. As we open the barrier and cross over to the other side of the quarter, we reach the number eight (8).  Since number 8 is identified with eternity, with no beginning and no end, we are very comfortable journeying round and round until everything starts to become a routine and boring activity.  That is life, sometimes.

C. From quarter number 8, we create a downward path and go to number 9.  Because we became more familiar with what we did in number 8, we resist change and we are stuck to the circle portion of the number 9, comfortably making our rounds.  We do not want to fall because of the difficulties we experienced when we were at number 7 as it was very hard to climb back.  So, we become more constant and consistent with this number and it is but natural because number 9 is the most constant number. Try multiplying any number with 9 even with as many digits as you want. Add the answer and you will be amazed that the sum is still 9.  Life is amazing and sometimes it brings lots of surprises.

D. From number 9, we again cross over to the left side quarter and we see the number 10. As we get closer to the number 1, we feel the joy of being on top and first on the list.  However, when we turn to the other side and see the number 0, we feel down and low.  There are dualities in life and this is one them. 

In this situation, we need to practice the value of equanimity by staying in the middle and becoming stable, immovable and unshakeable, unaffected by whatever is happening around us.  Always remember that both one and zero belong to God.  God is number One and the One-and-Only God, but He is also a Zero, one who came from nothing.  When you put a zero before the number 1, it decreases in value but placing it after, the value increases. When you combine one and zero, it becomes perfect, the perfect 10 -- the numbers which rightfully belong to God.

I am not claiming and I will never claim that what you have just read is all accurate.  I want to be incorrect because this will give me the opportunity to be corrected and enlightened more. If you have any queries, you might like to call or visit any of the teachers of the Brahma Kumaris Centers in the Philippines specifically in Malate, Makati, Quezon City, Tagaytay, Baguio, Naga in Bicol, Cebu and Davao. For BK Centers worldwide, log on to www.bkwsu.org.

Visit and talk to them and I can assure you that you will learn a lot of new and good things which you can definitely use in facing the daily challenges of life.  If you want peace and happiness, then the Brahma Kumaris is one of the places to be in. Hang-out with the people there and get the vibe of the deepest joy and calm. Upon entering the door of the Center say “Om Shanti” which means, “I am a peaceful soul”.  I hope that like me, this can jumpstart your journey to a more peaceful mind and life. Enjoy your journey!
