Bravo coolnwarm, great info. You are really taking the skeptic
straght down the rabbit hole
The skeptic has a very disenchanted view of the world, where there
is no mystery or wonder. They simply accept what the current worldv-
iew is telling them uncritically. In a recent discussion I had to tell one
skeptic they have a mind, and a whole inner dimension that needs to be
explored. Amazing, eh, that I am having to tell somebody they have a mind!
The beauty of Vedic civilisation is that they did so much in exploring the mind,
its various dimensions and powers and developed usable techniques in order for
us to cultivate this dimension of us. This is why Vedic civilisation is full of so many
masters with superhuman faculties. This is how it use to be in ancient times, before
the onset of the Kali Yuga. Everything you say it is true, we had many siddhis, longer
life spans and contact with the galactic community and other dimensions. It is still
like this on advanced planets in the universe, and I really wish I would incarnate there
in future incarnations.
I don't think the Mahabharata was the only cause of our fall. The cause is time itself
and the cycles of Yugas, which in turn are connected to galactic cycles where there are
periods of high energy and less energy.
