Epoch I - Humanity's Childhood

From L. Robert Keck’s Sacred Eyes:

…..Humanity has been on an evolutionary journey of maturation similar to that of the individual. Collectively, as we do individually, we grew up through a childhood – what I am referring to as Epoch I – in which our purpose was to develop physically.

We had a particular value system attendant to that childhood, a value system which was basically feminine.

When we arrived at the point in our childhood development – somewhere between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago – when we realized we were part of a larger world and subject to forces beyond ourselves, we started expressing our appreciation for the life giving and life sustaining powers of the feminine. The focus of our worship, therefore, was the Mother Earth Goddess.
