53 years after the beginning of the widespread sharing of Agnihotra and the Fivefold Path, we find ourselves at a fork in the road, if not a crossroads, if not teetering on the edge of pollution and climate change induced imbalances—(DESTRUCTION)—to say the least—that many say may soon become irreversible.

So, what decades ago might have felt like a luxury or (quaint) addition to our New Age portfolio, has morphed into a phenomenon whose importance is extremely difficult to overstate.

When “Homa Therapy: Our Last Chance” was published in 1989, (“Terapia Homa: Nuestra Ultima Oportunidad”) some may have been excused if they detected hyperbole or unnecessary crying wolf or fear-mongering. Alas, no such excuses or understatements feel anywhere near appropriate today.

Even if one wishes to debate the precise time on the Doomsday Clock, what is especially worrisome is what appears to be purposeful destruction by the so-called leaders of so many countries that such behavior is threatening to become the NEW NORMAL. After all, fossil fuel companies need compassion, so ‘Drill, baby, drill.’

Just blame inequity, injustice and incredulous lack of perspective on Fake News, disinformation, or the other party (the Opposition), then those with wealth and power can proceed to increase their wealth and power at the expense of the other 95% or so of humanity.

If only they were aware of the Law of Karma and that the piper will be paid sooner or later.

So, it is hoped that the more Homa Therapy is known and practiced, the better the chance that we will come to Jesus, have the time —and desire–to smell the roses, and become stewards for next generations. Nothing less is adequate now.

At first, the red flags and warning signs seemed real but somewhat subtle. Gradually—like a frog in boiling water—it dawned upon us that what we thought was a soothing mud bath, was in fact quicksand.

Light vs. Dark seems to have never been so visible, so clear cut, so dystopian, at least not in our lifetime.

o As during the pandemic, there is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. There’s no escaping the ATMOSPHERE that surrounds us. HEALING THE ATMOSPHERE must be the chosen behavior.

To those who feel that the world of today comes even close to being fair, proportionate and compassionate, I’ll have what they are having for breakfast.

As in the Middle East, “been down so long, it feels like up.”

The magnitude of current states of affairs boggles the mind—unless/until we ‘give it up,’ that is, ‘let go, let God.’

To those who can live day to day fairly satisfied with the way things are, perhaps realising that when you are in the eye of a hurricane, an illusory sense of safety occurs—until the eye passes. The calm before the storm, we might say.

The antidote? As our ability to change things is minimal, why not address our efforts towards changeable things such as OURSELVES? — and the atmosphere that surrounds us.

It takes time, effort and concentration to change ourselves but the alternative is not pretty. It is being stuck, feeling unfulfilled, being depressed. Changing ourselves requires patience, humility, perspective and FAITH.

Depression can make us feel as if things will never change. Faith can go a long way towards coping.

The sometimes subtle but oh so real change and continued momentum to further change that Agnihotra provides are the experiences of so many regular practitioners of sunrise/sunset Agnihotra.

Nonetheless, despite the dozens of reports and testimonials attesting to nearly immediate results of Agnihotra and Agnihotra Ash that can be labeled, “miraculous,” for many of us, it is a longer process. Of course, ultimately, our individual karmic debts and accomplishments largely determine if and when healing takes place. Thus, fortitude, patience, perseverance, and perspective are invaluable character traits to develop and maintain.

The elephant in the room is EGO. To counteract it, reacting with love under all circumstances is the ‘way out.’
Love is aligned with compassion, kindness, empathy and perspective. Most other human emotions are likely to be diluted with fear, anxiety, jealousy, attachment, etc.

And IDAM NA MAMA—not my will but thy will be done—best be our battle cry. Those who may want to PLAY GOD, best be sure the uniform fits, your skills are honed and the duties are not above your pay grade. And that you know the rules.

Challenges and tests of endurance these days should stay in the gym. Any proven, helpful tools that come our way should by all means be grabbed, and ‘exploited’ them to the utmost.

Let’s see. What tool comes to mind as an example? How’s about one that takes 20 minutes a day, costs about what a cup of coffee cost 30 years ago (pre/Starbucks), and requires considerably less effort than preparing a meal?

How about a tool that has been around literally FOREVER—like Vedas, its source, but was simplified in the 1960s for the average householder, and now has exploded in popularity such that it is utilized on all continents by untold thousands?

How about daily sunrise/sunset Agnihotra copper pyramid fire? If interested, have a look at homa1.com or homatherapy.org or agnihotra.org or agnihotra.pl.

We’ve written before of the transformation—in our minds, at least—of Agnihotra from a means of overcoming addiction and depression to an indispensable role in Homa Organic Farming and to a great aid in manifesting happiness, well-being, and self-esteem—true pillars of Homa Psychotherapy. Believe what you experience.
