The Best is Yet to Be

How old do you think we are? I mean we – the human race. Do you think that mankind is in its early stages? Do you think that perhaps mankind has reached middle age and from here on is going to go into decline? Do you believe that mankind is already approaching the end, and that eventually we won’t even exist on this Earth?

Think of what has already been created

I believe the human race is only now coming out of its earliest infancy, and the greatest lies ahead of us. I think that mankind is like a child in the Cosmic Universe.

tree of lightScientists estimate that man has been on the earth a million years; and that’s conservative. He’s been here much longer than that and civilizations have existed for tens of thousands of those years. Most of those civilizations, now forgotten, and their remnants are buried underneath the oceans, or under the desert, underneath mountain, or great mounds. Yet notwithstanding all this – early antecedents – the human race is only now in its earliest childhood.

The greatest days of mankind lie before us. All the really great achievements of the human race are still unborn. Music of the future will surpass even the greatest names today. Beethoven, Mozart and Bach will be surpassed, just as they, in their day, surpassed the beating of crude, native drums. Literature will be produced that will make the works of Shakespeare, Milton and the other great lights of our civilization look like children’s story telling.

In art, the art of ancient Greece, never equaled since, will be overtaken and surpassed by new waves of spiritual inspiration expressing through the art of mankind. The greatest engineering feats of today: bridges and dams, airplanes, electronics and atomics will be like toys compared to the engineering that is yet to come in the future of mankind.

Above all, man’s understanding of himself: man’s understanding of his spiritual nature and of his spiritual world will grow by fantastic proportions. The religious geniuses of the past will be as pygmies compared with the spiritual leaders of the future. Probably the greatest advance of man will be the tapping of the vast reservoirs of strength, courage and wisdom, which he has never before touched.

This post follows a previous post about worry. This was intentional. Perhaps we don’t need to worry about the future. Perhaps the answer is to turn our eyes toward the future, for the best is yet to be.

    I see our collective memories of the past as benchmarks for things to come, and I see our collective visions of the future as benchmarks for what could be. I see humanity, in the midst of its adolescence and in all of its arrogance and impetuosity, as coming into its own. When it does come into its own, and it will, a glorious future will manifest and mature into a gifted present, with yet more benchmarks and visions with which to play.

    The earth and people are not millions of years old - only about 6,000 years old. The stories of evolution are not true. God created the world in a literal 6 days. The earth was created first and then the heavens. After God created these, then he created the first man, Adam.

    Read the Bible for the truth.
