Nootan Kumar | The Evolution of Consciousness modern era was forecasted as comprising: the drastic diminishment of spiritual practice, wisdom, truthfulness, tolerance, compassion, family bonds and the institution of marriage; the reduction in life span, physical strength and memory; radically changing sexual identities and practices; the disproportionate preoccupation with material wealth, power and technical knowledge; and the increasing prevalence of overpopulation, ecological degradation, climatic difficulties, and violent conflict at all levels of human society. 53 When comparing these predictions to the current state of the world in the era of accelerated globalization, it is not hard to jump to the conclusion that human consciousness must be passing through Kali yuga. Alarming descriptions of the destructive features of globalization abound in academic and popular literature, as well as the media. These negative depictions, in fact, serve to unite many religions of the world in their denouncement of globalization, usually taken as neoliberal economic 54 globalization encompassing all its harmful features. Damaging characteristics of economic globalization can be broadly categorized as unprecedented degrees of consumerism, and ecological and human insecurity. Consumerism subsumes the greed for wealth, power and the acquisition of material comforts, as well as the increasing commodification of every aspect of life. 55 Ecological insecurity entails the threat to food, water 53 Disciples of A.

New solidarities are being created by individuals and groups no longer necessarily held together by bonds of family, ethnicity, caste, religion or nation (although all still salient to varying degrees, nonetheless), but by bonds 59 arising from the creation of new, hybrid, transterritorial identities based on gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic class, language, personal interests, environmental movements, virtual relationships and anything in between. Another feature, the decline of belief in revealed or intuitive spiritual wisdom and its replacement by technical knowledge 60 , can also be observed in the dominance of the scientific method and the rational mode of knowledge, 56 Clapp & Dauvergne, Paths to a Green World; King, “One planet, one spirit”; Laszlo, Worldshift 2012; Scholte, Globalization: A critical introduction. 57 Baylis, et al., “Introduction.”; Scholte, Globalization: A critical introduction. 58 Groody, Globalization, spirituality, and justice; Krishna, Globalization and postcolonialism; Scholte, Globalization: A critical introduction. 59 Nederveen Pieterse, Globalization and culture; Rifkin, Spiritual perspectives on globalization and culture; Scholte, Globalization: A critical introduction. 60 Rifkin, Spiritual perspectives on globalization.
