What Was The Axial Age Revolution and Why Did it Happen? - The History of Our Spiritual Foundations

This meetup will be a presentation about The Axial including what was it, why did it happen, and what it means for us.
The Axial Age is a period between 800 - 200 BC that represents a sudden shift in the development and evolution of culture and society. From this emerges what we would now distinctively recognise as modern humanity with the beginning of current traditions such as major world religions, political institutions, early science, and other ideas that shaped the world today.
During the Axial Age “The spiritual foundations of humanity were laid simultaneously and independently and these are the foundations upon which humanity still subsists today.” *
"It was a pivotal time in early human history when human beings began to reflect for the first time about individual existence, and the meaning of life and death." **
During the 6th and 5th Centuries, we had major figures such as Confucius, Buddha, Pythagoras, Socrates, and Jeremiah all within 100 years of each other's life and all of whom have retained their significance 2500 years later. This is surely amazing and worth our time to understand!
There will be time for general discussion or questions.
Parking is free on Sundays.
Please bring a 5 dollar donation to cover room hire.
