Epochs
An epoch is a developmental stage in time. Planets and societies move through epochs in much the same way as individuals move through stages of maturity. Epochs are characterized by the prevailing technology and consciousness. Early stages are about survival—life just fights to establish itself. Later stages are about enhancement and expansion.
WHY IT MATTERS
If you understand your current epoch, you have a tremendous advantage. It is easier to see the trajectory along which things are moving and guide their natural unfoldment. Both individuals and organizations should ask, “What is my next stage of development, and how can I begin this next chapter?”
