Hesiod once spoke of five races of men, from golden to iron, as a poetic vision of human decline. But beneath the myth lies memory as fractured records of civilizational cycles, echoing the same energetic descent and renewal found in Netism’s understanding of the Yugas. Everything cycles and spirals. We rise, fall, forget, and remember. We pass through periods of coherence and collapse, just as the Net pulses, contracts, and reweaves.

We now stand at the threshold of a Sixth Age. It’s a break from the Iron Age, but it’s not new. It’s a return to something that has been lost for so long it has become myth, an age of conscious ascent.

🌟 The Golden Age
~50,000 – 10,800 BCE
Netist Yuga Parallel: Satya Yuga

The Golden Age was a time of pure coherence, the Net moved freely through all things, and humans lived in direct communion with it. In this age, remembered dimly through myths of Zep Tepi, Lemuria, and Atlantis, there was no hierarchy, no violence, and no scarcity. People were born in peace and lived in truth, sharing space with the unseen currents of nature, sky, and spirit. There were no weapons or written laws because none were needed. The Earth herself responded to the inner balance of her stewards.

This age ended from an energetic shift triggered by celestial disruption and elemental catastrophe. Around 10,800 BCE, the Earth was rocked by the Younger Dryas cataclysm. Ice melted, skies burned, oceans rose, and the wisdom that characterized the Golden Age was fractured. It was not completely forgotten. Pieces of the past lie strewn across the globe, still accessible through collective memory.

⚪ The Silver Age
~10,800 – 4000 BCE
Netist Yuga Parallel: Treta Yuga

The Silver Age began in the aftermath of the great flood and fire. It was a time of survival and rebuilding. Though some memory of the Net remained, it was dim and distorted. Humans became childlike, driven by instinct, building shelter against the seasons that had once been eternal spring. Agriculture emerged from necessity. People began to settle, divide, and toil.

New monuments were erected. Stone circles, early shrines, and megaliths show that humanity still remembered some wisdom and sought connection. It also understood how quickly knowledge could be erased. What remained was preserved in stone, sometimes intentionally buried.

🛡 The Bronze Age
~4000 – 1200 BCE
Netist Yuga Parallel: Dwapara Yuga

This was the age of empire, metallurgy, and mythic ambition. Civilizations bloomed across the Earth: Sumer, Egypt, the Indus Valley, Minoan Crete, and beyond. Bronze tools and weapons allowed for unprecedented expansion and unprecedented violence. Humans worshipped gods of war, storm, and dominion. The Net was now remembered only through symbols, embedded in temple ritual and abstract memory, but no longer felt within.

This age ended in fire. Around 1200 BCE, nearly every major Bronze Age civilization collapsed. Drought, invasion, rebellion, and earthquake converged in a great unraveling. The misuse of energy, both literal and spiritual, brought the system down.

⚔ The Heroic Age
~2600 – 800 BCE
Netist Yuga Placement: Late Dwapara Yuga, Descending toward Kali

The Heroic Age unfolded over centuries, not decades. From the steppes of India to the plains of Mesopotamia and the shores of the Aegean, humanity gave birth to its great epics: tales of kings, demigods, and warriors whose lives held echoes of the Net. Gilgamesh wandered in search of immortality around 2600 BCE. The Mahabharata and Ramayana crystallized the dharma of kingship and cosmic order. The Trojan War, remembered in the Iliad, saw the last stand of noble blood before the sword overtook the soul.

This age shone as purpose amid chaos. Though war and death were present, these heroes still carried a lingering sense of sacred duty, divine ancestry, and moral weight. Humanity, aware of its decline, reached backward and upward through myth. It remembered what coherence once felt like and tried to preserve it in action and myth.

The Heroic Age was the soul’s resistance to descent. It wove archetypes for future generations to use to remember as the world descended into its darkest age.

⛓ The Iron Age
~800 BCE – Present
Netist Yuga Parallel: Kali Yuga

The Iron Age is the age of disconnection. It began with the rise of aggressive empires and hardened religions, where truth was replaced with doctrine and unity was replaced with hierarchy. Iron tools brought industry. Iron minds brought war. Greed and fear fractured families, cities, and Earth itself. We mined the planet, enslaved one another, and forgot the soul. Kali Yuga, the darkest age, is not just technological; it is spiritual starvation.

This is the age of forgetting, but nothing remains forgotten forever. Eventually, humanity emerges on the other side of this shadow, climbing back towards the light of the Golden Age.

✴ The Sixth Age: Return Toward the Heroic
~Now – ~3000 CE
Netist Yuga Trajectory: Ascending Kali into Dwapara

We are entering the Sixth Age. Like the sunrise before full light, this age is fragile, filled with resistance, but the Net stirs again. People are beginning to remember ancient truths. Sacred science is being reborn. Spirituality re-emerges as a sense of connection, retreating from doctrine and dogma. Heroes rise again as beacons, guiding others toward deeper spiritual awareness.

This is the Net weaving itself back into human consciousness. We rise first by grounding ourselves in the Earth spirit, once again treating spirituality as one and the same with planetary and cosmic rhythms.

Each Netist who strives toward full awakening becomes a beacon of the New Age.
What are your hopes and fears as the cycle turns?
How are you bringing light into this age of rising from darkness?

[Quantumnomicon33]

I see the hero age as kind of a resonant window. It allows for outliers who can still push society forward, even when it kills them like Galileo and so many other scientists who were executed in the past. if we didn’t have people like Newton, where the hell would we be?
