The Mandate of age



It is well settled that roughly every 2,150 years, the sun position at the vernal equinox moves into a new constellation and this movement is believed to usher in new age of ideology, order and human experience. Some people call this phenomenon the “mandate of age.” Some call it the “mandate of heaven,” and others call it the “world order.”

In the world order of the old age, reality was both subjective and objective. That is, reality was concocted to have physical (i.e., material) and spiritual (i.e., ethereal) aspects; embodying, the divine opposites of the hidden and revealed - the ka (spirit or soul) and ba (body). Central to the old age ideology is the notion that humankind is a microcosm of a macrocosm. That is, in our subjective self (i.e., physical self), we carry some elements of objective truth (i.e., divinity). If this holds, the ideology states, we need not have faith in a mediator or a savior to reach salvation – your salvation is totally in your hands. The only faith you may have is in yourself to have control over your thoughts and actions because it is in the control over ones thoughts and actions that one reaches salvation, but not through faith in an allegorical savior. History makes it clear that the old age was the golden age of Apis bull (Saturn) and Amon/Amen the ram (Aries).

The old world order that left the river valley people (i.e., Hindu-Cush) in a dominant position ended when the “mandate of heaven” shifted to the Greco-Roman domination. Shortly after this shift, the world entered a middle age, also known as the Piscean age of fish. In the middle age, the world was placed under the central authority of the ecclesiastical keepers of the objective truth. How did this happen? Firstly, objective truth became absolute and subjective reality was driven into oblivion – secularism was punishable by death. Secondly, objective truth fathered a son who was literarily colonized in the image of Greco-Roman ethnic stock, only to be bundled into a trinity, and later elevated to be God. This “irrational deification” of the son was reminiscent of the old age elevation of newer deities to the status of ancient gods. For example, the old age elevation of Ausar (the god of the afterlife) to the status of Ausar-Ra (the universal SUN god). Thirdly, faith in the son was now a precondition for salvation and eternal fellowship with the objective truth. History makes it very clear that much of the intellectual capital gained in the old age was completely depleted in the middle age – this era was marked by death, devastation and destruction in defense on whose objective truth was more superior. The civilized world descended into the dark ages.

Having wallowed in the dark ages for many centuries, the world finally entered a new age under the “new world order” – the mandate of heaven has totally shifted in favor of the West. Under the new mandate, subjective reality is absolute and objective truth is no longer relevant in human affairs. That is, we are in an age when secular humanism and existentialism supersede divinity – reality is now defined outside of emotion and spirituality, the closer you are to your subjective self, the closer you are to power and control. Secular humanists and existentialists are of the worldview that life is transient and the application of reason, scientific knowledge, lessons of history and individual experience, but not gods and supernatural forces, create meaning to life.

I shall conclude by quoting Djehuti’s law of cause and effect: Ye, O man, until now, ye were the greatest, and yet before that were others greater than ye. As others before ye have fallen, so shall ye, men shall rise and men shall fall, far is the future yet not fixed. The future follows man’s free will as it moves through time-space toward the goal where a new time begins (The thrice great, Djehuti 30,000-50,000 BCE).
