One year ago today my mom died at age 80. When I think of her and my childhood (I was born in 68) this song stands out. I am a Presbyterian pastor, but by God, I was going to have this played at her funeral. My music director (an amazing jazz pianist) created an amazing piano arrangement of this as the postlude, and all my old church people were rocking out to this, remembering those days of the late 60s. And now I’m listening again, crying yet smiling, as I remember my wonderful, new agey mom! And she made it into the Age of Aquarius.

I don't know, Pastor, I humbly suggest that the vision of this song, which I also extolled in those days, is truly far from a Biblical view and put to the lie by the Vietnam War, Cold war, violence in the streets of America, and truly confused reality of the present time. I can only blink for a second at that song, knowing that something far greater than the imaginings of the songwriter, await us in God's Kingdom. Discernment is our greatest weapon on our perilous earthly journey. homeward.

Orchestrations, with wonderful baselines, harmonies, melodies, rational lyrics...the 80s had SOME Good songs....and the 90s got worse...since then it's all downhill, except for independent people doing their own recordings.

@@D-FensDogG What's funny is that in the story of the song, Bones Howe (the producer) said he liked Joe because he played it safe. Joe did NOT play it safe on this one. www.soundonsound.com/people/classic-tracks-fifth-dimension-aquariuslet-sunshine

A new age is upon us. Look around, everything is changing. All of the old institutions are succumbing to entropy (some more quickly than others) and it's going to be chaotic while new ones are established. We are currently in what future historians will call a "populist uprising" We The People are pissed off, and are beginning to realize we have the weight of numbers on our side. The United States is the most heavily armed nation in the world, with literally more firearms than people (400 million firearms for about 335 million Americans) and we want answers. Because the government and those people on the news said so is no longer a reason to do (or not do) anything.

0 - 2000 A. D was the age of Pisces. (Jesus the fish). 2000 - 4000 A. D. Is the age of Aquarius. Ase' King James Luke 22 and 10: And he said unto them, behold when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you bearing a PITCHER of WATER (Aquarius) ; follow him into the HOUSE ( the House of Aquarius) where he entereth in. The Age of Pisce (Jesus the fish) is over. 2000 A. D. Began the Age of AQUARIUS. LET THE SUNSHINE IN!!!! ☀️

Come on, you can share that sentiment without horribly misusing words from other spiritual traditions. It makes you sound like you're talking nonsense when you could be wording it in a much more apt way. The end of Kali Yuga (over 420,000 years in the future from now) is not a superficially pleasant thing for most of the people living in it (not until their next human lives, anyway), it's an apocalypse which occurs when the world is completely broken, with a few humans surviving into the paradisical Satya Yuga. The thousands of years measured by these astrological Ages are a tiny blip in the cycle of Yugas. In Hindu cosmology, a prosperous age of a few thousand years would be an opportunity to make the world as beautiful a place as possible in the time it has left. The world isn't going to magically change into a paradise in your lifetime, but all the hard work from countless people fighting for good might be able to create one for a while. If you're one of those people making the world a better place, you might be reborn in the paadisical age you want to see. That's the best interpretation I can provide with my knowledge of Hinduism, although I'm not necessarily prophesying it as perfectly accurate. Find the right words for what you want to say, don't erroneously misuse others.
