The last five or six thousand years of human history have seen two spurts of increased self-awareness. There is a recent growing sense (awareness) that humans as a whole are a problem for this planet. There was a long time past awareness around the first and second millennia BC that the universe has a balancing mechanism which is quite human-like. Zoroaster recognised it (or his followers did later). Then Pythagoras and Heraclitus, sages of Ancient Greece recognised it. Put these two together and you might easily recognise the likelihood of an imminent balance redress being about to happen. Christianity is starting to change its own doctrines about this and rebelieve in a coming Millennium of Christ.
