'In the classical world, it was presented in terms of humanity's progressive descent from the Golden Age to what Hesiod called the Iron Age. In the corresponding Hindu teaching, the final age is called the Kali Yuga (Dark Age). Its essential quality is emphatically said to be a climate of dissolution, in which all the forces – individual and collective, material, psychic, and spiritual – that were previously held in check by a higher law and by influences of a superior order pass into a state of freedom and chaos. The texts of Tantra have a striking image for this situation, saying that it is the time when Kali is "wide awake." Kali is a female divinity symbolising the elementary, primordial forces of the world and of life, but in her "lower" aspects she is also presented as a goddess of sex and orgiastic rites. In previous ages she was "sleeping," that is, latent in the latter aspects, but in the Dark Age she is said to be completely awake and active.'
