BTZ42Read: it has happened before

[Ian Livingston]

Another possible parallel is the popular division of the aeons based on the
precession of the vernal equinox due to the wobble in the Earth's rotation
on its axis. This is, of course, what Jung refers to in the Aion note I
cited elsewhere. So the aeons have changed previously several times, the
change that is happening now disresembles every change before. Some folks
get downright fun in their speculation about this. See, for instance, the
first 20 minutes or so of the film, Zeitgeist--conspiracy theory gone
cosmic. These aeons are based on the relation of the equinoctial sunrise to
the constellations of the Zodiac and are therefore specifically to do with
the sky. The Industrial Age being followed by the Technological /
Information / Rocket / Whatever Age is spooky no matter what a person's
orientation. Do fish scream? If the Piscean Age is dying, is that one
interpretation of the incomparable "now"?
