An Astrological Age lasts for about 2100 years and it's name has to do with which constellation the Sun is in at the time of the Vernal Equinox. For complicated reasons, it is difficult to ascertain the exact year- even decade- we enter a new Age. We know that since the time of Jesus' birth we have lived in the Piscean Age- an age of the rise of religion and wars to defend and promote these religions. Hippies, Mystics and Optimists look to the New Age of Aquarius as one of "harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding" as the song goes. An Age where the Aquarian principles of mass communication, technology and philanthropy unite mankind.
Apparently, the ancient Mayan civilization also recognized that great epochs of history come into being, take on a distinct character and then pass away into the next. There seems to be quite a controversy over the end of our current Age. Some fear that by the end of 2012 all life as we know it will end. We've heard this before-yes?
To those of you fearing the doom of the Mayan Prophesies of global destruction, take heart. Maybe those old prophets simply saw one way of life yielding to one in which all people on Earth are more connected, more equal and more willing to share our precious resources. In America, where we have so much it will be harder for us to make that sacrifice, but as the doors of our perception are cleansed, we will surely rise to the needs of our global neighbors. I believe it will happen in our lifetime- for all the war, hatred and strife that surround us, things are getting better as our consciousness grows.
As Martin Luther King said “I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eyes reach but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice.”
