Lacking knowledge of the future and
higher principles—the people perish…


17.)  As Lord Maitreya Warned,

a.)  Those Who Lack Knowledge About
The Future
[From True Teachings]—And Do
Not Strive Or Prepare
[In Accordance With
Higher: Principles Or Knowledge]—
Will Perish!


(i)  “It is time to ponder about the New World.
My Teaching opens the doorway to action.

Madly do people rush about, not knowing
the future. Doomed crowds are hastening
to destruction
. Their course is bearing them to
the abyss.”
 (Agni Yoga, The Call, 385.)



(ii)   … How few are the consciousnesses that
can perceive the regeneration of the planet by
way of culture!
Certainly, those who do not
comprehend creativeness by means of
higher measures will perish in the same old
upheavals.

“Those who do not comprehend the new
ways are greatly in need of understanding
the Epoch of Maitreya. …
(Agni Yoga, Hierarchy, 390.)
b.)  LMW: While materialistic, fun-seeking and
God-forgetting peoples are
:

 partying and celebrating,

 marrying and dancing,

 feasting and drinking,

 trading and sleeping,

…Suddenly and unexpectedly will they be
hit by
tragedies and disasters!


…Many will be destroyed by the fire
element
(corresponding to our present,
mostly selfish, lower mind focused Fifth Race
)
others will be destroyed by the water
element
(corresponding to their lower
emotional focus, like the Fourth Race
)!


c.)  
Like in biblical Noah's time
most of those who died and perished did
not fully
: prepare or believe the warnings
of imminent and inevitable: cataclysms
and disasters
which destroyed all the
degenerated and unfit: civilizations and
inhabitants of Atlantis…
