Read the 4th Turning by Howe and Strauss. They are historians, demographers and economists. Totally secular book. History repeats for a good reason. They explain why. And since history does repeat itself, it is cyclical.
Moving from many to one is not a cycle, it is an indictment of the truth. You do realize that we stopped burning witches, right? Do you know why? It was discovered that they weren't witches. If they had been witches the moral thing would have been to keep burning them. So our moving from many to one was us discovering the truth which should be fairly obvious to everyone here that one Creator of existence is the least complex answer.
I believe that you bring up multiple Gods as a way to confirm your bias. Was that an insult too? Or was that me stating a belief based on observations I have made?
No. My belief that there is a Creator is based on the solution of the first cause and that the laws of nature were in place before space and time were created and that everything which has unfolded since that time was predestined by natural process that were controlled by the laws of nature and that intelligence is not only a product of that process but the source as well.
Show me that last time you alleged cycle ended in a global monotheistic religion.
And earlier I said it was a linear trend.
And people do not remember god. They are told from a young age to believe.
The only reason I mentioned multiple gods is because that there were multiple gods is an historical fact. Tell me do you always take the statement of an historical fact as a personal insult.
And your belief is based on an assumption for which there is absolutely no empirical proof. You call it logic but it is not logic.
The fact is we have absolutely nothing but a few theories that attempt to explain the origin of the universe. One of those theories is the creator theory.
Clearly there is a communication breakdown here.
You are taking the whole cycle thingee way out of context. It does not apply to what you are trying to do. When people are satisfied, they become proud and complacent and stop doing the things that made them successful, then they fail and suffer. And through their suffering, because of their suffering, they return to the things that made them successful in the first place, thus starting the cycle all over again.
So when I say they do the things that made them successful, that would be returning to God's ways which are virtuous and naturally lead to success. And when I say they became proud and complacent and stopped doing the things that made them successful, they behave without virtue which naturally leads to failure.
Shit doesn't happen because of luck or by accident. It happens because of what we do or don't do as a society.
The saeculum cycle lasts approximately 80 years, give or take, and is about the length of a long human life or four generations. The cycle has 4 seasons; spring, summer, fall and winter. Each one lasting about 20 years or one generation. The last 3 winter cycles of the American saeculum were WWII, Civil War and the American Revolutionary War. The hardship during these times brought people together. They put away their petty differences, made sacrifices, became more humble and thankful. In effect, they remembered God. When the wars ended the spring cycle begins. This is a period of growth and a renewed focus on the young who are the future. As they reap their rewards they enter summer. It takes two generations to forget suffering. So by this time the pain and misery of the last winter cycle is all but forgotten. They become satisfied and proud. They become indulgent and selfish. They lower their standard of conduct. All failed behaviors. It takes another twenty years or so or one more generation to complete the fall which BTW is the name of the cycle. Which sets the stage for the next major societal upheaval that almost every person who walks the planet will get to experience at least once in his life. Ours is coming.
So please stop talking about shit you don't know anything about. I tried to tell you to go read the book.
