Translations:Middle East/20/en

In the late 1960s the Brotherhood regarded the conflict in the Middle East as a powder keg which could easily be ignited into total global warfare involving the major powers.^[1] It was considered expedient by the Lords of Karma to accelerate the lessons of karma, and therefore bring some measure of sanity to the people and to their leaders before such an eventuality should take place. Thus they released the Dark Cycle of the return of mankind’s karma on April 23, 1969.^[2]

↑ Following the Six-Day War of 1967, in which Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula, limited hostilities continued along the Suez Canal between Egypt (with active support from the Soviet Union) and Israel (supported by the United States). If full-scale war had broken out between Israel and Egypt it was considered likely that the superpowers would also have been drawn in to support their allies.
↑ The Dark Cycle lasted for thirty-three years, concluding on April 22, 2002. We are now dealing with the accumulation of the karma that was not transmuted during its cycling into the physical plane. “The Dark Cycle of the accelerated return of mankind’s karma was scheduled to begin January 18, 1969, but by a dispensation from Lord Gautama Buddha it was postponed. On January 19, 1969, Gautama Buddha warned that ‘the warlike manifestations currently being exercised in the Holy Land represent to us the most dangerous single factor that is calculated to plunge mankind headlong into a holocaust of planetary destructivity.’ This is because if these battles had escalated, the United States would have taken the side of Israel and the Soviet Union would have taken the side of the Arab states, beginning a global war based on the karmic records of their animosities. On April 22, 1969, U Thant, secretary-general of the United Nations, said that Israel and Egypt were in ‘a virtual state of active war’ and that the UN cease-fire had become ‘totally ineffective in the Suez Canal sector.’ The following day, April 23, Egypt formally repudiated the cease-fire and the Dark Cycle began. Its purpose: to let the karma descend and therefore diminish the destructive capacity of both sides, thus controlling the damage.” (Elizabeth Clare Prophet, “Prophecy for the 1990s,” part III, Pearls of Wisdom, vol. 33, no. 6.)
