At Least on One Level, ‘God Speaking’ May Refer to God Revealing; A Very Short Paper

I’m thinking the metaphor of God breaking his silence that Meher Baba used so much might refer to Baba letting the cat out of the bag about how it all happened and how things work. Replacing God in heaven and a judgment day with the actual system of sanskaras that is the real cause of events, which resonate from an Original Whim. If these points by Baba are true, avatars and perfect masters have been silent about them for all of history, as far as we know. Since my second book I have realized that the ground had to be sewn before these things could be revealed, by allowing men to reach the point in their intellectual development where they could grasp the interconnected concepts. The necessary conceptual preconditions for this revealing included: Geological gradualism (18th century) The theory of biological evolution (mid-19th century) Psychoanalysis (late 19th century) Gestalt psychology (early 20th century) Planetary and astronomical knowledge (17th-20th centuries) Analogies from inventions like lenses, cinema, the computer algorithm, and virtual reality (20th-21st century) Before these milestones, Baba's cosmology would have made zero sense to people. Even the last Avatar, Mohammed, lived before any of these things. In short, I’m thinking certain things were probably better off left unrevealed until we were ready to absorb them.
