Re: Was Pre-Enlightenment Civilization Superior to our Epoch?
If hindu cosmology is anything to go by, things begin at an absolute peak, and deteriorate until the end of the kali yuga, at which point things return to the absolute peak, and begin to deteriorate again.
By that measure, no century can possibly be better than the last, except for the 1st century of a new Satya yuga being necessarily "better" than the kali yuga preceding it.
If you found out that you were god, dreaming a life for yourself, and that you were identical with the external world, you would ask yourself: "So, what would I have happen to me in my life? what would be my perfect drama?":cool1:
You died, and death was complete freedom from suffering - bliss. But it very quickly got lonely and repetitive in bliss, so you decided to be born once more. You've been doing this forever.
