According to HPB, it came along again in 1975 (some opportunity, not 
identical in nature necessarily.) And while no one can agree on who 
or what that last-quarter message or messenger was exactly, I do 
think about this notion often. Why? Because there seemed to be a 
spiritual vitality to the 70s-90s, an openness to fresh new (or old) 
ideas, an enthusiastic seeker mentality, that is no longer present. 
As an example, I observed a tremendous energy on the Internet in its 
early years among practitioners of diverse spiritual paths. None of 
these fora have the same level and quality of energy they did back 
in the mid-90s.

What do you think about the possibility that an opportunity cycle 
has recently closed?

Cheers,

Paul
