WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND REAL MEN ANY MORE?

It is very common today to hear women from all walks of life commenting wistfully about the lack of men. Indeed, what happened to the real men? You know, the ones that are strong, clever and capable, but at the same time also caring, gentle and devoted?

Where to find men that are brave and courageous, but at the same time romantic and affectionate? Or translated into modern language – where to find potential husbands that earn good money and make impressive careers, but at the same time who also would spend enough time with the kids and who would organize a romantic weekend retreat, just for the
two of you?

Where to look for men that are attractive, clever and sexy, but at the same time loving,
committed and loyal?

More and more women around the world find it increasingly difficult to find an answer to these questions. It seems that the public consensus veers towards the verdict that most men at present cannot fit the classical description of “real” men and are becoming more and more uncommitted, egocentric and detached at best. A lot of people believe that real love that was once upon a time an attribute to the real man has been now substituted by mere lust and sheer pursuit of sensual pleasures. It is believed that men (especially young men) are becoming increasingly incapable of experiencing and showing true love towards women. As a consequence men are becoming more and more perverse to say at least.

It is unlikely that we will find a straight-forward answer to the questions above without using some of the methods used in the occult science. Astrology, for instance can be extremely useful in this respect.

For those of you who read my previous article called “The Age of Aquarius” it will be easy to grasp the concepts presented below.

For those of you who haven’t, I recommend doing so before reading further.

We said in it that every 2,000 years or so, the conditions on the Earth change dramatically in order to reflect the new evolutionary impulses. On the other hand, this occurs in order to reflect the changed conditions in the human consciousness. And indeed, there is no point for the spirits to get incarnated over and over again into the same earth conditions; in this case the spirits will not have the opportunity to learn something new and they will not evolve. For this reason, the conditions on the earth change totally and utterly every 2,000 years or so.

During these periods of time (known also as Ages) the spirit gets incarnated at least twice – once as a man and once as a woman. It is difficult to draw general rules for these matters and the individual reincarnation path of one spirit may vary greatly to that of another. But, it is important to understand the main idea – that normally during each Great year (or Age) we get incarnated at least twice – once as a man and once as a woman. This is possible because the spirit itself is genderless and can be incarnated in either sex. Having said that, it is essential to note that, again, there are no strict rules here and some spirits prefer to get incarnated as women, while others are much more inclined to choose men’s bodies.

I may expand on the exact reasons why this is occurring in some other articles. For now it is sufficient to mention simply the fact that certain spiritual lessons can only be learned in a particular gender, or race, or country. Therefore, if a certain spirit exhibits preferences towards one particular sex and it has been reincarnated several times one after another in its favorite gender, than it may find the switch of sexes very difficult and traumatizing when the need for this arises in its next incarnation. These tendencies are plainly and unmistakably revealed to us using astrology or some other occult techniques.

Here it is important to deviate a bit from the main topic in order to clarify something for those readers who still have their doubts about reincarnation. The necessity to remove any doubts about the reincarnation of the spirit is of especially great importance for those people who call themselves spiritual. Most people that regard themselves as spiritual know that nothing happens by chance. The fact that people are drawn to certain ideas and societies is not accidental. You probably know that you too do not hold in your hands this issue of “Universal Mind” simply by chance and the fact that you are reading this article is also not accidental. It clearly indicates a desire to learn certain spiritual truths. But in order to progress further it is imperative that we fully accept with our hearts and with our minds that the spirit does not die after the death of the physical body. It continues to live in the spiritual world, ruminating on the elapsed life, until it is ready for its next reincarnation and there is a suitable
opportunity on the earth for it.

For the clairvoyant observer it is apparent that the patterns in every consecutive life are determined to a great degree from the deeds done in the previous one. This fact also can be confirmed scientifically through careful examination of the natal, astrological chart of the person in question, but it can also be done through other means too. In the eastern teachings the dependence in the present life on the positive or negative trends from previous lives is called karma. Thus, every single deed that we do (good or bad) does not goes forgotten into the nothingness after the death of the physical body. Quite the contrary all those deeds are summarized at the end to determine the type of life we are going to experience next. It is imperative that the reader is free of any reservations about the idea of reincarnation, because without it, it is impossible to explain most spiritual truths.

It was also pointed out in my previous article that we are now living at a critical moment in the
development of the humanity, when the old Age of Pisces is about to conclude and the New Age of Aquarius is about the fully settle in. This means that starting approximately from the First World War and finishing in about another 20-30 years from now, the spirits that get incarnated in human bodies on Earth, incorporate within themselves completely new evolutionary impulses that are prominent for the new Age of Aquarius. This is necessary in order to wipe out completely the obsolete patterns typical for the old Age and to settle in the modern, innovative ways of the new planetary ruler - Uranus. This is evident in every sphere of the human life, but it is especially apparent in the relationship between sexes.

Why is that so?
It is because the ideas of Uranus (the new ruler) and those of Neptune (the old ruler) concerning sexes, masculinity and femininity in general are completely at odds to each other. Neptune believes that the masculine energy of one individual has to merge completely with the feminine energy of another. In his understanding this is done through the sacred ritual of marriage and once the words “I do” are uttered, this union is supposed to be for life. This means that if necessary, the two individuals in question should live together through happiness or difficulties and if the need be, they should sacrifice their own personal freedom and sometimes even their own individuality for the sake of the family union and the wellbeing of their children. The church (also governed by Neptune) played a significant role in this

process. The role of the church for the last 2,000 years (Neptune’s reign) was to govern nearly all spheres of life and to direct people into what was believed to be the right path. The church position in regard to the marriage was that personal sacrifices have to be made in the name of the family, the children and the social peace.

Uranus on the other hand, finds such arrangement extremely restricting and incarcerating. The keyword for Uranus is freedom and individuality and from his perspective such sacrifices are far too great. He believes that the loss of personal freedom and autonomy is too high price to pay in order to raise children or to achieve social peace. In his understanding, children can be brought up in other structures – not necessarily the traditional family model – which may be even more economical and efficient solution to the same problem. In regards to the social peace, Uranus believes that it can be achieved not trough repressing the individual, but quite on opposite – by liberating them, although keeping them together within the structure of a benevolent, world state.
