Cycle of Time

We all know the famous quote “history repeats itself”, but what exactly is it trying to convey we fail to fathom. When we take a look at human history itself we find that recorded history dates back to around 500 B.C. i.e. to around 2500 years before now. Before that the civilizations which flourished have no concrete documentation and are derived in an abstract way.

So here we try to establish the missing links, when we start traveling through the time portal we begin to enter a sphere of arcane realities which somewhere lies latent in each one of us. The only thing needed by us is to unlock this higher reality; for this we need to travel beyond space and time to the core of our being and endeavor to understand timelessness.

This concept is quite intriguing for one who delves deep to understand the subtle realities of day to day life and the complex workings of situations which life throws at us. When we look at the world today we find lot of ancient wonders around which on rational thinking even contemporary technology finds as an impossible feat and marvels at their brilliance. So here the question arises as to how those civilizations achieved feats which even today’s technology fails to accomplish.

When we look at the history books we find that the ancient man was very primal and ordained to life lacking in any form of intelligence or for that matter civil behavior, so therein lies the riddle which we must unlock. When we look at nature we find it is cyclic day-night-day, spring-summer-autumn-winter. Everything we observe tends to follow a cyclic pattern. Take for example a tree - It springs from the seed and wilts away and later the seed from the same tree springs a new tree.

When we travel to the future we get a sense that science is refining and new technologies are unearthed in this process i.e. scientific progress is yielding far greater powers in human hands and enabling one to achieve feats which are impossible as of today. So when we look at the situation and ponder, we find the missing link and realize that the past becomes the future. There seems to be a hidden connection and the past and the future join at a point in human history. This seems to be an odd concept but on introspection we indeed arrive at this.

So here when we look at the broader picture we find things are actually in motion and a lot of energy transfer is taking place and the most important thing is it is cyclic. So let us look at the hidden picture for ourselves and introspect; then we tend to validate that the same set of events are taking place in a cyclic fashion throughout history and indeed history repeats itself. So there you go déjà vu.
