With increase in tamas, there is bound to be increase in destructiveness and conflicts. Natural disasters are also bound to increase as nature is uncomfortable with increasing tamas while it is neutral to rajas and favorable to sattva.
Increase in sattva through spiritual practices can bring about a harmonious environment reducing natural disasters and even crime rates as well.
According to the Prajapita Brahmakumaris, each Yuga or worldy cycle consists of five ages in a single cycle of 5000 years. In this cycle, the Sat Yuga or Golden Age emerges as the very first yuga and lasts for a period of 1250 years. The same goes for the other Yugas such as Treta Yuga, Dvapar Yuga, Kali Yuga. The fifth Age is the present Confluence Age which lasts for a hundred years and is considered to be a transition period between the Kali Yuga and Satya Yuga.

Ajay hello and thanks for sharing. This is, to my mind, probably the most optimistic interpretation of the current Kali Yuga age...it's ended or is ending and we are in a short (100-year) transition period. One can only hope
Though I suppose the transition period noted may still include some major cataclysms and other zingers, LOL...as that remains wisely unspecified in your brief summary....
You also note below the cohesion and state of interbeing between humanity and the earth...which is a beautiful and wise concept. It reflects a holistic perspective on the importance of caring for the environment, and stresses how we will (ultimately) tend to reproduce or manifest all around us externally an environment which reflects the internal state of our being:
Quote:
With the changing of seasons and the integrity of matter, the external form of the earth changes over time. The driving force behind this devolution is the human mind. The higher, pure consciousness manifests in a robust, verdant planet, while the lowest, impure consciousness produces a polluted, corroded state of existence. ~ Prajapita Brahmakumaris

On that note, I will post more below to further explore.
Namaste.
Peace & blessings ![hug3](images/smilies/hug3.gif)
