End-Times
From The SpiritWiki
The End-Times is any period in the history of this planet when incarnated Monads have initiated The Process and are working with a view towards Healing, Awakening, Activation, and Ascension. Since The Process is difficult and fraught with pitfalls, we (and by "we" I mean incarnated monads) have had to make the attempt multiple times. In the past five thousand years or so we have tried, and failed, multiple times
Previous Attempts
Several recent attempts at Ascension have occurred, including two pre-WWI and pre-WWII "theosophical" attempts, two more recent New Age attempts (one in the sixties and one more recently circa 2001) and our current, and soon to be, successful attempt.
