Our Present Situation - On the Doorstep of the Eschaton
Although we spend most of our time profitably engaged with the immediate concerns of everyday life, more and more of us are becoming aware of a pervasive and deepening sense of anxiety that is clouding our horizon. Even the ending of the cold war, an apparent booming economy and our new committments to protecting our environment and establishing a new world order have done little to relieve this subliminal sense of crisis.
With this undefined unease there is the accompanying realization that we are approaching what many feel will be the most significant events in human history. For some the sources of this belief can be traced to the many historical prophecies concerning the end of the world, but even those who choose to discount these predictions recognize that there are a number of powerful trends manifest in modern society and that these trends all seem to be leading us to some final event.
We at the Aquarium believe that human society is indeed on the doorstep of the Eschaton. We also believe that this event will represent both a freightening challenge and a great opportunity for society as a whole and each of us as individuals. We invite you to further explore our present situation
