Even though I'm largely unaffected, I still feel depressed by the world situation and feel ready to move on. Such disillusionment can be a positive force however, in helping to dispel the allure of the world that so completely captures our attention. The draconian restrictions and their arbitrary enforcement remind us of our insignificance and powerlessness in the face of the naked tyranny of governments and the medical mafia. A lot of what entertained us and distracted us has been taken away.
When everything has been taken away (or we lose interest in it) and when we forget ourselves, we find God. So these times provide an opportunity to realise what is truly important. It's interesting that a search for Silence Day on Google returns the following as its first result:
Day of Silence is GLSEN's annual day of action to spread awareness about the effects of the bullying and harassment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) students. In the United States, students take a day-long vow of silence to symbolically represent the silencing of LGBTQ students.The organisation GLSEN is described as:
GLSEN (formerly the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network) is a United States-based education organization working to end discrimination, harassment, and bullying based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression and to prompt LGBT cultural inclusion and awareness in K-12 schools. Founded in 1990 in Boston, Massachusetts, the organization is now headquartered in New York City and has an office of public policy based in Washington, D.C..In my post Going Against the Tide of October 19th 2019, I remarked on the similarity between Baba's multicoloured flag and that of the LGBT movement but quoted the following:
The work I wish to do for the world [involves] the minimizing of lust and especially to destroy that lust of homosexuals which is now prevalent to an alarming extent all over the world ... the homosexual is in male form but is working out or spending his female sanskaras, whereas he is meant to be spending his male sanskaras ... a lesbian is working out or spending her male sanskaras, whereas she is meant to be spending her female sanskaras.Thus Silence Day is another parallel between Baba and the LGBT movement but Baba has stated unequivocally his disapproval of the LGBT lifestyle. Clearly this parallel is no coincidence and part of Baba's long term plan for "the youth of the future". Perhaps, as more homosexuals and lesbians grow disillusioned with their sexual orientation, they will be drawn to Baba's oddly familiar flag and thus come to him. There must come a turning point.
Any opposition to the LGBT agenda of course is viewed as homophobia. However, the LGBT movement is a well-funded and carefully promoted propaganda machine that does not have the least concern for the best interests of homosexuals. Some homosexuals realise this and can see the inevitable backlash coming. Homosexuals have always been a part of society but they have never sought to be mainstream. They enjoyed the fact that they were different but never sought to promote it as a lifestyle.
Organisations like GLSEN are particularly insidious and dangerous as they gain more and more control over the education systems of countries. However, Baba was always insistent that his followers not get involved in politics and organisations like GLSEN are essentially political. They gain influence by getting politicians on side who will then appoint suitable bureaucrats to oversee educational "reforms". The challenge for Baba Lovers is how to respond to this corruption of youth. The best response is simply to uphold those values, of which Baba would approve, in their day to day lives. He has made it quite clear, in his Discourses, what those values are. He writes:
The spiritual value of married life is directly related to the nature of the preponderating factors which determine its daily course. If it is based upon shallow considerations, it can deteriorate into a partnership in selfishness aimed against the rest of the world. Married life must be in tune with Divine Plan. If it is inspired by lofty idealism, it can rise to a fellowship which not only requires and calls forth increasingly greater sacrifices for each other, but actually become a medium through which the two souls can offer their united love and service to the whole family of humanity. When married life is thus brought into direct line with the Divine Plan for the evolution of the individual, it becomes a pure blessing for the children who are the fruit of the marriage, for they have the advantage of absorbing a spiritual atmosphere from the very beginning of their earthly career.
Though the children are thus the beneficiaries of the married life of the parents, the married life of the parents is in its turn enriched by the presence of the children. Married life sanctified and enriched by children give to parents an opportunity for expressing and developing a real and spontaneous love in which sacrifice becomes easy and delightful, and the part played by children in the life of parents is of tremendous importance for the spiritual advancement of parents themselves. It therefore follows that when children make their appearance in married life they ought to be whole-heartedly welcomed by the parents.
