Carter Phipps at the Parliament of the World's Religions

one of the interesting things about um the interview and uh and Andrew's interest in in her and in and the questions he pursued with her uh was that Andrew is concerned with the evolution of spirituality and the evolution of religion and what the future holds for the spiritual impulse the human human spiritual impulse because evolution of course is a is a new context that wasn't a part of of the context of human life when most of the religious Traditions came into existence and what's interesting also about an evolutionary understanding or seeing the religious impulse the spiritual impulse in an evolutionary context is that that impulse and that impulse as expressed in human life is developing over time and you can maybe you can trace a trajectory of that development and what's interesting in that context is where that development is heading into the future but what's interesting is that D Juni and the Brahma Kamari movement comes out of a cyclical worldview and it sees the world as progressing through these long ages the copper age the Iron Age and and now we're at the end of the the kuga um which is sort of the Dark Age and their mythology and and their their understanding of the of the of the cycles of the world now if you have a cyclical view where where uh where the culture or the life of of of human life you know go Cycles through these various ages and then comes around essentially back to a similar place the question arises well where is this headed what is the purpose of Creation in the first place if in a cyclical understanding of the universe because that would seem to be a very different understanding what is the purpose of Creation in that context and that's what Andrew pursues with her and that's a very interesting dynamic in the in the questions
