In the initial Era of Perfection, Age of Truth or Golden Age, the Communion state in which the true, single nature of all entities was realized nonconceptually and nondually, characterized by absolute plenitude and perfection, and by what Tarthang Tulku (1977) called Total Space-Time-Awareness, alternated with the incipient form of the delusion the Buddha called avidya and Heraclitus called lethe. However, this delusion being extremely mild, it failed to give rise to the unhappy consciousness that constitutes the first noble truth of Buddhism and to the Angst that according to existentialism and Existenzphilosophie constitutes the bare experience of the being of the human individual. With the passing of time, it became gradually more difficult to enter the state of Communion, so that only few practitioners of ancient Wisdom traditions could gain access to it, and in the subsequent state delusion became progressively more powerful, giving rise to ever-increasing Angst, an ever unhappier consciousness, and in general ever more negative consequences. In our time, which marks the final stage of the of the Age of Darkness, Black Era or Iron Age, and hence of the cycle, delusion and its negative effects have reached their utmost expression: the technologically enhanced project of exploitation of humankind and the whole of the ecosystem has produced an ecological crisis in the ecosphere, society and the individual, which proves that it was based on a delusory perception and thus constitutes the reductio ad absurdum of this delusory perception. Thus humankind has reached the threshold level at which it can surpass the delusion that developed during the cycle, and if this occurs in time to prevent self-destruction (personally, I am convinced final destruction will not occur at the end of this cycle), a new cycle will begin with a new Age of Perfection, Age of Truth or Golden Age—or else we will enter the roughly analogous Millennium of plenitude and perfection announced in the Tantra Kalachakra of Vajrayana Buddhism and in analogous traditions of Christianity, the Ismailian tradition of Islam (Parain, Ed., 1972, p. 281) and so on. As we have seen, this new age will be ecommunist: free from all forms of property, the State, the individual family, and involving significant equality in all planes—political, social, economic, sexual, racial, and even between children and their elders.
