2012 - Science Or Superstition?/WC/4

Cultures all around the world believed this "Great Year," this cycle, this one aeon, was broken into seasons just like our yearly motion - spring, summer, fall, and winter. The easiest ones to understand are the Greek terms: the iron, bronze, silver, and golden age - that's sort of equivalent to summer in terms of consciousness and then we go back down again. Each of these ages has different characteristics. The Vedic teachers would tell us that we're just coming out of the Kali Yuga and very early into the Dwapara Yuga, which is equivalent of [moving from] Iron to Bronze and we're beginning to realize that we are no longer just physical bodies on a hard, physical Earth, that we are energy and everything is made of energy, and consciousness keeps growing, we use more and more of our consciousness, we live longer and longer, things become seemingly transparent to us - not because matter changes, but because we just "see" the potential and possibility in everything.
