Thank you for being here today and for giving me this wonderful opportunity to share with you my thoughts on some ancient and modern cosmic truths and tell you a little bit about the people who discovered them.

In the hope of refining our understanding about the way of life of ancient societies and how they must have perceived the world and the celestial vault above them, we study their scriptures and symbols and their architecture and artifacts.

More often than not we stumble across mysteries and anomalies that nobody can truthfully explain.

From the perspective of the incomplete historical data that has reached us, the various myths and legends are like lessons that contain a hidden wisdom. We hope to find in them answers to problems that confront us today.

But frankly, we possess a blurry and distorted image of mankind’s past and every new discovery doesn’t make it clearer. It seems that over the ages too many kooky ideas have infiltrated our mentalities.

For example, we assume that many thousands of years ago mankind had no real knowledge because they had no science and technology from which they could truly benefit – like we do nowadays.

But what if our remote ancestors of eons past were not longing for material wealth and comfort, but rather attained or realized something that we consider ineffable?

Perhaps we could refer to that alternate purpose as concerning an “eternal Truth or Reality” that always exists no matter how the physical world or our perception of that world changes.

In the ancient Vedic traditions of India it was recognized that humanity has the potential to experience different and higher states of consciousness or states of the Heart.

These states of the human heart are described as the dark Heart, the propelled and steady Heart, the devoted Heart and the clean Heart.

From a limited scientific perspective those classifications of man’s evolutionary status refer to ages or Yugas, called Kali, Dwapara, Treta and Satya.

It is also said that the man's mental virtue is being affected by a vast astronomical cycle which produces these different Yugas.
