Conversation with the Mystic-Old-Man

Alexandr: I have a question. In India, in their beliefs, there is this concept of living through four yugas – four different ages, four different periods of time. And now, as everyone asserts, the Kali Yuga is ending – a time where people had to live in unfavorable conditions, where sins and dark forces reign, and so on. And soon this time will end, and another yuga, called Satya, will come, where the Golden Age will begin. So, am I right in understanding that the same thing is happening in our world right now?
Mystic-Old-Man: In general, yes. And I can tell you what it’s based on.
Alexandr: Based on what?
Mystic-Old-Man: Based on the pull towards the spiritual. We have, to a large extent, pulled these so-called paradoxes of attention... and, in fact, the whole world has been affected.
Alexandr: Alright. And I have another question. Am I correct in understanding that, in ancient Greek mythology, there was an era with the Titans, and then their relative, Zeus, was born, who, at the end of the era, overthrew the old power and became the new ruler, thus starting a new era, like a new yuga? Is that the same thing?
Mystic-Old-Man: Yes, it’s a manifestation of power or a paradox of attention, as a connection to something. That’s how it is.
Alexandr: Alright. And am I correct in understanding that these four eras, four periods, are like the four elements, like the four main gods, and only one of them rules, while the others are waiting for their time?
Mystic-Old-Man: But this isn’t in relation to the material, it’s more of a principle. Because the principle can extend and combine in the material world.
Alexandr: But let’s put it differently. Before our current era, the period we’re living in now, there was another time, wasn’t it? It was different from this one.
Mystic-Old-Man: It worked under a different law. There were times... around the Earth. And when it was announced that this wasn’t the case, the one who announced it was burned at the stake.
Alexandr: What, around the Earth? The connection was bad, I didn’t hear that.
Mystic-Old-Man: I’m saying, we lived in a time when the sun was thought to revolve around the Earth. But when someone said that it wasn’t the case,
