![]() ![]() I get a bit confused about some things, if someone can explain it really basic to me.Įvents are things that happen from what I understand, scenes, people are born, wars and such. Īeon may also be an archaic name for omnipotent beings, such as gods.I write on a project with jumps in time (over a 40-50 year period) and thats not told in chronological order - that means that character arcs and development are important for me to track, both from the charcters view but from a reader standpoint as well. Occultists of the Thelema and Ordo Templi Orientis (English: "Order of the Temple of the East") traditions sometimes speak of a " magical Aeon" that may last for perhaps as little as 2,000 years. This contrasts with the conventional Christian belief in eternal life and eternal punishment. That is, after the period of the aeons, all punishment will cease and death is overcome and then God becomes the all in each one ( 1Cor 15:28). After each person's mortal life ends, they are judged worthy of aeonian life or aeonian punishment. Īccording to Christian universalism, the Greek New Testament scriptures use the word aión code: ell promoted to code: el ( αἰών code: ell promoted to code: el ) to mean a long period and the word aiṓnion ( αἰώνιον) to mean "during a long period" thus, there was a time before the aeons, and the aeonian period is finite. Plato used the word aeon to denote the eternal world of ideas, which he conceived was "behind" the perceived world, as demonstrated in his famous allegory of the cave.Ĭhristianity's idea of " eternal life" comes from the word for life, zōḗ code: ell promoted to code: el ( ζωή code: ell promoted to code: el ), and a form of aión code: ell promoted to code: el ( αἰών code: ell promoted to code: el ), which could mean life in the next aeon, the Kingdom of God, or Heaven, just as much as immortality, as in John 3:16. In Buddhism, an " aeon" or mahakalpa code: san promoted to code: sa (Sanskrit: महाकल्प code: san promoted to code: sa ) is often said to be 1,334,240,000 years, the life cycle of the world.

Roger Penrose uses the word aeon to describe the period between successive and cyclic Big Bangs within the context of conformal cyclic cosmology. In astronomy, an aeon is defined as a billion years (10 9 years, abbreviated AE). Aeon can also refer to the four aeons on the geologic time scale that make up the Earth's history, the Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, and the current aeon, Phanerozoic. Īlthough the term aeon may be used in reference to a period of a thousand million years (especially in geology, cosmology and astronomy), its more common usage is for any long, indefinite period. αἰϝών) for "age" is present in words such as longevity and mediaeval. Its latest meaning is more or less similar to the Sanskrit word kalpa code: san promoted to code: sa and Hebrew word olam code: heb promoted to code: he. In Greek, it literally refers to the timespan of one hundred years. It is a Latin transliteration from the ancient Greek word ὁ αἰών ( ho aion), from the archaic αἰϝών ( aiwon) meaning "century". The word aeon / ˈ iː ɒ n/, also spelled eon (in American and Australian English ), originally meant "life", "vital force" or "being", "generation" or "a period of time", though it tended to be translated as "age" in the sense of "ages", "forever", "timeless" or "for eternity".
