I think the advancements of our mind are continuallly accelerating. If you had of brought the topic up of astral projection 50 years ago very few wouldve understood. Now people are starting to realise themselves and the true nature of the reality around them. Whether we advance to pure consciousness (true enlightenment and the understanding of everything due to their soul being free) or not is in the balance as their are stil many others that arent aware and bring the rest of humanity down with their weaknesses...
