7. Development <strong>of</strong> Knowledge and Wisdom.<br />
The mind is developing, and our accumulated wisdom learned from millions <strong>of</strong> years <strong>of</strong><br />
lifetimes is creating intellect. Man is becoming aware that <strong>the</strong>re is more to life than his brief<br />
material existence.<br />
III) Step Three—<strong>Life</strong> with Intelligence.<br />
1. Development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Intellect, High Technology Advancements in Spiritual Forces, First<br />
Development <strong>of</strong> Living Forms<br />
It is <strong>the</strong> age <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mind. We can be considered intelligent life forms now. We have broken<br />
through <strong>the</strong> age <strong>of</strong> ignorance and have advanced well in <strong>the</strong> sciences. Our awareness <strong>of</strong> our<br />
spirits and our connection to Creator is stronger, for we are learning more about <strong>the</strong> powers <strong>of</strong><br />
our spirit. We have learned to create new foods, to crossbreed animals, and are searching for <strong>the</strong><br />
understanding <strong>of</strong> how life works.<br />
2. Awareness and exercise <strong>of</strong> Knowledge, truth, and Wisdom. Slow Dissolution <strong>of</strong><br />
Acceptance <strong>of</strong> Belief.<br />
We are leaving behind <strong>the</strong> thinking <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> past. We no longer accept old myths, idols, and<br />
false gods. Real intellect and reasoning are providing us with enlightenment.<br />
3. First usage <strong>of</strong> Knowledge and Wisdom.<br />
High technology is becoming apart <strong>of</strong> our world. Genetic engineering has led to <strong>the</strong> creation<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first life forms. The secrets <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> universe are beginning to unfold to us, and man is<br />
learning about his place in <strong>the</strong> scheme <strong>of</strong> things. This is <strong>the</strong> present position <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> educated<br />
Earth human being, scientist, etc.”<br />
Thus it can be seen that planet earth is still on a very primitive rung <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> spiritual ladder<br />
only half way through step 3 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> seven step evolutionary cycle. Most <strong>of</strong> mankind still has an<br />
even longer way to go. The intermediary and higher levels <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se seven evolutionary steps can<br />
be found in Winter’s book.<br />
The corresponding Eastern cycles <strong>of</strong> time are <strong>the</strong> Yugas. A description <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> four primary<br />
age <strong>of</strong> this cycle can be found in The ECK-Vidya Ancient Science <strong>of</strong> Prophecy: <strong>Life</strong> Cycles <strong>of</strong><br />
Men, Nations, and Planets:<br />
• The first four tenths <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> greater cycle known as <strong>the</strong> Mahayuga, or 1,728,000 years, <strong>of</strong> that<br />
time is <strong>the</strong> first age known as <strong>the</strong> Satya Yuga. It was <strong>the</strong> Golden Age in terms <strong>of</strong> CREATION,<br />
a time <strong>of</strong> innocence and happiness on <strong>the</strong> planet, a true Garden <strong>of</strong> Eden, a time when <strong>the</strong><br />
few beings on <strong>the</strong> planet followed <strong>the</strong> laws <strong>of</strong> Spirit without <strong>the</strong> necessity for any kind <strong>of</strong><br />
enforcement as such.<br />
• The second Yuga was <strong>the</strong> Tretya Yuga, <strong>the</strong> Silver Age in terms <strong>of</strong> Creation, when things<br />
were generally not as good, and man had to work for <strong>the</strong> things he wanted. (Vidya) This<br />
lasted for approximately 1,296,000 years.<br />
• The third Yuga was <strong>the</strong> Dwarpara Yuga or <strong>the</strong> Brass Age when things became more savage<br />
upon <strong>the</strong> planet. It lasted for approximately 864,000 years.<br />
