The spiral of History (Fork of: The Emerald Table of Hermes)

Fork of: The Emerald Table of Hermes

..............the structure of the history of the humanity etc etc

Have you never observed the history? Changes the means, changes the shape, but the substance remains equal.
Arc and arrows, swords, guns, big guns (cannons), aerial
Shells, coins, credit cards and checks
etc etc are only example..... but something a lot (lot, lot) slowly changes, we salt and we turn around in the spiral, we are in the same point but little (little, little) more up.

Is understood here? Are you of agreement?

Yep. Don't know about Italian, but in English there's an expression: "The more things change, the more they stay the same." Also, "there's nothing new under the sun."

Not only does history and culture run in cycles, so does creative expression. Consider literature (especially folklore), art, even fashion. Style may change, but the substance is reminiscent of what has come before.

I think a lot of what we experience and express has to do with the fact that (although we as a species don't like to admit it) we are animals. And, animals are driven on instinct. How much of the human experience is hard wired into us? And, how much can we, as sentient beings resist or assist this driving force?

Yes the second is therefore also in Italian

Good thought and good question.
I have taken as cue and example the history for to begin from some part, but is true what you say, all reflect this design. In we have minerals, animals, and soul, is because we have these three things that we can call men (in the sense of human).
I in the written use the word men with begins them capital (letter) or small letter, for to indicate the true Men in perfect equilibrium of the three reigns, what is in contact with its spirit.... and men that it is prey of the three reigns alternating them and in often wrong way.

How much of the human experience is hard wired into us?

all... as mass we are the product of this

And, how much can we, as sentient beings resist or assist this driving force?

and as individuals we have the possibility to put to us in equilibrium. It is along and difficult run and also wanting a life can not be enough.
In this forum we can try to speak on like making this... this was (is) my intention and you have understood it
