I have had an insight into the workings of the world. The harshness of life may be inextricably linked with our own divine self-responsibility. The new spirituality often teaches us that we are 100% responsible for what happens to us.

Why then do we suffer from Covid, old age, illness, poverty, wars, disasters etc.? Where does the harshness of life spring from? The old teachings said it is because we fell from grace - which is part and parcel of our own personal responsibility too.

Consider this - responsibility can swing into the dark side and conversely can be on the light side too. If we are responsible for ourselves and by extension for what happens in the world, then are we sure our responsibility is healthy?

What if the faculty of responsibility itself was slowly slipping into darkness? That might explain why so much wrong exists in the world.
