Although the Age of Aquarius (and thus a new "age") does not begin until 2062, a newer concept has recently entered the picture-- the Mayan calendar. This new age is supposed to commence in 2012, only three years away. The problem is that the Old World Order is still very much in the saddle with its wars, destruction of the environment, extreme inequality between rich and poor, corrupt politics, etc. The good news is that those who understand the nature if cycles are aware that time itself is accelerating and as a number of keen observers (like Carolyn Baker) are observing, we are headed toward collapse. This will be caused by a collection of factors including end of the fossil fuel era, the flimsy foundation of our economies, and the planet Gaia herself rebelling against the abuses she has suffered. The good news is that this would bring about the fall of the Old Order just mentioned and make way for the Builders of a New Dawn—New Agers, cultural creatives, indigos—whatever we wind up calling them (or ourselves).
