Cultural epochs
From AnthroWiki
The post-Atlantean age (7227 BC - 7893 AD) is the fifth main age of the physical evolution of the earth. Initially it was also called the fifth root race[1] according to the now obsolete theosophical usage of Rudolf Steiner. It began after the sinking of Atlantis and will end with the war of all against all. It is divided into seven cultural epochs, each lasting about 2160 years, and serves above all the development of the human soul. At present we are living in the 5th post-Atlantean cultural epoch, the consciousness soul age.

- ↑ The term root race originates from the terminology used by the Theosophical Society at that time and was later no longer used by Rudolf Steiner, just like the term "subrace". Steiner repeatedly pointed out that the term "race" is actually no longer justified in the post-Atlantean period, since now it is no longer the physical but the soul-spiritual development that comes to the fore. The division of humanity into races will gradually be completely overcome and is already meaningless for the spiritual development of humanity.
