The Greeks taught that the "Great Year" - the cycle of human mental faculties - produced higher ages (each labeled "golden" age by them) which then were followed by a decline that ended in dark ages (label - "iron age"). 

The 19th-Century sage and mystic, Sri Yukteswar (guru of Paramahansa Yogananda), gave much greater detail to the picture of these endless cycles.

In this Part 1, I begin to present some of the abundant evidence that, thousands of years ago, mankind did indeed show remarkable capabilities - lost as the world sank into the dark age (the nadir was ca. 500 AD). Then, starting a couple of centuries ago, mankind began again to show definite evidence of an upward trend, including dramatic increases in IQ scores from one decade to the next (search the web for "the Flynn effect").

According to Sri Yukteswar, this trend will continue for more than another 10,000 years.

Later in this series, I'll present his explanation for the cause of these cycles. For more information, see www.ToRealize.net/ (click the "2" button)
