Sex, Age, and the Last Caste
Chapter-by-Chapter Breakdown
Chapter 1 introduces the Age Model. It shows how the stages of history
correspond to the different spiritual ages of the individual's life cycle.
It then "predicts" the future based on our current "adolescent"
level of spiritual maturity.
Chapter 2 introduces the Sex Model. It explains how the stages of
history correspond to a model of "male" and "female"
qualities based on Yin and Yang philosophy. It then "predicts"
what will happen during the upcoming Androgynous Age from the perspective
of a sex-balancing or neutralizing influence.
Chapter 3 defines the Caste Model. It reveals the four basic worldwide
castes according to the Hindu philosophy of caste. Integrating the Age and
Sex Models into the presentation, it presents the five "caste"
ages of human history as they conform to the Hindu caste model.
Chapter 4 describes the Caste Model in more detail. It clarifies
seven important patterns of history that characterize the struggle between
the four castes through the ages. It reveals how these patterns influenced
the past and predicts how they will continue to repeat in the future.
Chapter 5 defines the first Spiritual-Religious Age. It explains
the nature and economic-political evolution of this first caste age, which
corresponds to pre- and early history.
Chapter 6 defines the Warrior Age. It explains the nature and economic-political
evolution of this second caste age, which corresponds roughly to the ancient
and medieval worlds.
Chapter 7 defines the Merchant Age. It explains the nature and economic-political
evolution of this third caste age, which corresponds to the period of entrepreneurial
capitalism and the world dominance of northwestern Europe, Japan, and the
United States.
Chapter 8 defines the Worker Age. It explains the nature and economic-political
evolution of this fourth caste age, which is currently reaching its peak.
Chapter 9 describes the Worker Age in more detail. It traces its international
evolution from 1975 to approximately 2030 and predicts that the world will
divide up into about 15 independent economic-political-cultural blocs, three
of which will rise to supreme world power.
Chapter 10 analyzes the relative ranking of the 3 blocs which will
rise to supreme world power: Confucio (reunified China, Japan, reunified
Korea), Europa (eastern and western Europe), and Polario (United States,
Russia, Canada, Scandinavia, et al.).
Chapter 11 discusses three questions that the present worker-age
political situation brings to the
fore: 1. "Should the United States, Europe, and other countries imitate
Japan?"; 2. "Does capitalism really go together with democracy
and freedom?"; and 3. "Did communism really collapse, and what
really happened to the Soviet Union?"
Chapter 12 explains the nature of and makes social, religious, and
political forecasts about the coming second Spiritual-Religious Age.
Chapter 13 predicts religious revolution and the consequent rise
of the four great "religious-belt" world powers ofthat Spiritual-Religious
Age No. 2, "scheduled" to rise to power in the mid-21st century.
Specifically it deals with the future world power of Israel, India, and
Islam.
Chapters 14 and 15 predict the economic changes that will occur during
this coming Spiritual Religious Age No. 2. These can all be put under the
heading: the "spiritualization" of the world economic system.
Chapter 15 also shows how these economic changes will help bring
about a political shift in top world power from the three great powers of
the Worker Age -- Confucio, Europa, and Polario -- to the four great "religious"
powers of the Spiritual-Religious Age No. 2.
Chapter 16, finally, explains and makes political, economic, and
religious forecasts for the peak stage of the Spiritual-Religious Age (No.
2), the "final" stage of human history and the transition to superhumanity.
It explains why sub-Saharan Africa and the indigenous cultures of the world
will be the last "great powers" of history.
