	As a result of their deliberations, the decree went forth that mankind must bear their karmic burden if they did not reverse their negative momentums and turn to serve the light by January 18, 1969. The return of their karma had long been held in abeyance by those Intelligences who sought to lead the race into ascending spirals of self-mastery before requiring the balancing of the energies misqualified in ignorance. Now the individual and the race as a whole would be required to stand, face and conquer those abuses of the Law recorded in their electronic belts. This would be a time of great travail, “of weeping and gnashing of teeth”<ref>Matt. 13:42.</ref> as Jesus said.

	Those of you who were present for my address at the Class of the Twelfth Hour will recall that I did petition the Karmic Board to set aside the date of January 18, 1969, as the beginning of the Dark Cycle and move it thence to July 18, 1969. You did not receive the answer of the Karmic Board (which I had apprehended would be favorable). But for reasons best known unto that body, which they have communicated to me privately, their decision has been to grant this request tentatively and only under the condition that Israel cease from her aggressive attitudes toward the Arab states. Naturally, the Arab states, too, must restrain themselves in their movements; for we do not favor one nation against another. But the warlike manifestations currently being exercised in the Holy Land represent to us the most dangerous single factor that is calculated to plunge mankind headlong into a holocaust of planetary destructivity.<ref>Gautama Buddha, “In the Calm Knowing of the Sun Center of My Soul: The Sign of the Dark Cycle Set Aside Pending the Actions of Israel and the Arab States,” {{POWref\|12\|3\|, January 19, 1969}}</ref>		Those of you who were present for my address at the Class of the Twelfth Hour will recall that I did petition the Karmic Board to set aside the date of January 18, 1969, as the beginning of the Dark Cycle and move it thence to July 18, 1969.

	There are [[laggards\|laggard evolutions]] on the planet today who despite their heavy karma have figured out how to outwit the odds, dodge their karma and use the Dark Cycle to their ends: they wage war, manage both sides of the conflict, and use the chaos to rearrange the territory so that their net gain is more power, money and control over the people and the planetary resources. And the lightbearers have less, and less, and less each time the formula is reapplied.

	Even after the Dark Cycle began, the United States and the Soviet Union were nearly drawn into a war in the Middle East.

	The chief purpose of the Dark Cycle is to so tie up people in their old bad karma that they simply don’t have time or space or energy to make new bad karma. The reality is that returning negative karma keeps people from making more negative karma. For above all, karma is limiting. It limits free will and its free expression. It limits the expansion of mind and heart. It limits people’s ability to do anything they might want to do. Karma, and specifically the karmic return of this Dark Cycle, is, simply put, a roadblock.

	When karma descends it feels like molasses; it is so sticky and so heavy that it reduces the people’s capacity to wreak havoc and work evil. Karma is a tar baby. Karma descends to limit the destructivity of mankind and to preserve their option to do good. And therefore since April 23, 1969, people have become literally stuck in the sticky stuff of their karma.
