According to Vedic scriptures, there are 4 ages, after which
the cycle starts again. The Golden, Silver, Bronze and Iron
or Kali Yuga.. My understanding from Indian sources is that
we just entered the Iron age about 10,000 years ago,
and have 400,000 years to go, at a steady downward spiral with one exception, a blip of some thousand years where there is a return of a mini golden age, which is temporary
and will allow some relief from the pressures we are all
feeling for a time.
If it were me thinking about strategy, it would be a great time to get off the wheel, because aside from the next
how many thousands of years the outlook is bleak.

At some point after the Iron age ceases, there are dissolutions, and grand dissolutions, which basically form

rolls back into the God source waiting to come out again.

I am not sure when the next dissolution or grand dissolution (which is a greater and deeper form)is supposed to occur, this is one for the scholars.
