This age.

                         Having  looked  back  millions  of  years,  and  at  the
               various  milestones  that  have  marked  the  way,  we  must  ask
               what is the relevancy of this age were in. This is known as the

               age of Aquarius. Astrologers can identify exactly when this age
               began.  I  believe  it  began  in  the  middle  of  the  nineteenth
               centaury.  Three  events  took  place  at  that  time  that  have

               changed  human  outlook  on  life  ever  since.  One  event  was
               Darwin setting his theory of evolution, another was the finding

               of the first dinosaur fossils, and finally the unusual events that
               occurred in the home of the Fox sisters, in Hydesville, Newark,
               Wayne County, New York in the year 1842. If you like Darwin

               represented  the  MIND  with  his  theory,  Dinosaur  fossils
               represented awareness around the BODY, and the Fox sisters
               represented the SPIRIT.

                         The story of the Fox sisters is particularly interesting
               in  that  it  illustrates  the  advent  of  what  we  now  call

               Spiritualism. There had been many other stories of haunting
               and of communication with the spirit that was responsible but
               never before had it got the attention. Perhaps another reason for

               this attention was the degree to which newspaper reporting had
               developed. It was the correct time.
