Ancient Catastrophes | Binary Star | Cycles | Lost Civilizations
LaCroix links the notion of cyclical resets to ancient Indian texts describing the Yuga Cycles, which delineate stages in humanity's progression from a Golden Age to eventual decline and reset.
The Kings of Atlantis become the Gods of the Greeks
In other words, this tradition refers to an ancient time when the forefathers of the Greeks were governed by Chronos, of the Cronian Sea (the Atlantic), king of Atlantis, through civilized Atlantean governors, who by their wisdom preserved peace and created a golden age for all the populations under their control--they were the demons, that is, "the knowing ones," the civilized.
This is made the more evident when we read that this region of the gods, of Chronos and Uranos and Zeus, passed through, first, a Golden Age, then a Silver Age--these constituting a great period of peace and happiness; then it reached a Bronze Age; then an Iron Age, and finally perished by a great flood, sent upon these people by Zeus as a punishment for their sins.
"Men were rich then (in the Silver Age), as in the Golden Age of Chronos, and lived in plenty; but still they wanted the innocence and contentment which were the true sources of bu man happiness in the former age; and accordingly, while living in luxury and delicacy, they became overbearing in their manners to the highest degree, were never satisfied, and forgot the gods, to whom, in their confidence of prosperity and com fort, they denied the reverence they owed.
The foregoing description of the Golden Age of Chronos, when "men were rich and lived in plenty," reminds us of Plato's description of the happy age of Atlantis, when "men despised everything but virtue, not caring for their present state of life, and thinking lightly of the possession of gold and other property;" a time when, as the chants of the Delaware Indians stated it (page 109, ante), "all were willingly pleased, all were well-happified." While the description given by Murray in the above extract of the degeneracy of mankind in the land of the gods, "a period of constant quarrelling and deeds of violence, when might was right," agrees with Plato's account of the Atlanteans, when they became "aggressive," "unable to bear their fortune," "unseemly," "base," "filled with unrighteous avarice and power,"--and "in a most wretched state." And here again I might quote from the chant of the Delaware Indians--"they became troubled, hating each other; both were fighting, both were spoiling, both were never peaceful." And in all three instances the gods punished the depravity of mankind by a great deluge.
By such means he at length raised the people from a rude and comparatively barbarous condition to one of order and peaceful occupations, in consequence of which he was everywhere held in high esteem, and, in course of time, was selected by Janus to share with him the government of the country, which thereupon assumed the name of Saturnia--'a land of seed and fruit.' The period of Saturn's government was sung in later days by poets as a happy time, when sorrows were unknown, when innocence, freedom, and gladness reigned throughout the land in such a degree as to deserve the title of the Golden Age." (Murray's Mythology," p.
It was a time of jollity and mirth, a recollection of the Golden Age.

In the Persian story he appears as Yima, and "is made ruler of the golden age and founder of the Paradise." (Ibid., p.
The Deluge Legends of America
After describing a time "when there was nothing but sea-water on top of the land," and the creation of sun, moon, stars, earth, and man, the legend depicts the Golden Age and the Fall in these words: "All were willingly pleased, all were easy-thinking, and all were well-happified.
The Story of Atlantis
This was the golden age of the Toltec race.
After about 100,000 years of this golden age the degeneracy and decay of the race set in.
It may here be noted that while the Mexican empire was for centuries great and powerful in all that is usually regarded as power and greatness in our civilization of to-day, it never reached the height attained by the Peruvians about 14,000 years ago under their Inca sovereigns, for as regards the general well-being of the people, the justice and beneficence of the government, the equitable nature of the land tenure, and the pure and religious life of the inhabitants, the Peruvian empire of those days might be considered a traditional though faint echo of the golden age of the Toltecs on the mother-continent of Atlantis.
The golden age of the Toltecs was long past.
Selfishness obtained the upper hand, and war and discord brought the Golden Age of the Toltecs to a close.
In the later days when war and strife had brought the Golden Age to an end, battle ships that could navigate the air had to a great extent replaced the battle ships at sea—having naturally proved far more powerful engines of destruction.
It is not proposed to trace the system or want of system prevalent in the troublous times anterior to the advent of the Golden Age.
The Four Ages of Atlantis
These ages, referred to as the Golden Age, Silver Age, Copper Age, and Iron Age, represented different phases of cultural, technological, and spiritual development.
The Golden Age was the earliest and most prosperous era of Atlantis, often regarded as a utopian period.
Matias De Stefano suggests that the Golden Age was the culmination of a spiritual experiment, where Atlanteans sought to merge divine consciousness with physical existence (5).
The Golden Age symbolizes the height of Atlantean spirituality and alignment with divine forces, while the Iron Age reflects the civilization's ultimate fall into materialism and greed, leading to its destruction.

Its efforts were but partially successful ; tinged by an alien faith, hampered t>y reminiscences of another and more recent tradition of the predominant partner in the combination, it produced but a pale and distorted copy of the magnificent cult of the Star- Angels, as it had flourished in the Golden Age which we have been attempting to describe.
