humankind does not go through cycles
It clearly does. And it's "human kind", not "humankind".
Everything in existence 'breathes', for the lack of better word. You can think of this as a 'cycle'. Things don't happen in a linear fashion - there's
often a really long time of 'nothing happening', then SUDDEN surge of things forward, as if something started to push to a certain direction - many
inventions have been happening at the same, exact time. Light bulb was not invented by the cold, evil animal-murderer and businessman that exploited
his workers. It was invented in different places simultaneously, and although the credit is given to that awful man, it could just as well go to
Nikola Tesla or many of the others that were working on that at that same time.
Have you ever noticed many movies that appear to have the same exact idea, coming out almost at the exact same moment? This has happened more than
once, so it can't be just a coincidence. It's a cycle (although in a different scale). It's a symptom of a larger cycle that's going on, pushing
things to a certain idea. Those movies were that era's 'thing', then other ideas became prevalent. There's a certain pattern to how things work and
happen, and it's never linear.
Things seem to happen in big leaps. Typewriter was dominant for decades, and then suddenly, very quickly indeed, it became obsolete. Same happened to
vinyl records, cassette tapes and even dictionaries. Heck, even books, CDs, DVDs and soon hard disks with moving parts are just obsolete history,
almost antique.
When you look at history, things have definitely been happening in cycles. The technology age begun suddenly, and within it there have been cycles as
well, and then it transitioned to 'information age'. I am just waiting for when humanity will finally realize to start a 'spiritual age' (which
already existed, and then was forgotten, and will exist again, because it's indeed a cyclic progress).
'Cycle' doesn't mean that things will be repeated exactly. Each wave of an ocean is different, and yet, you can't deny that it represents a cyclic
structure.
Just because something moves forward, doesn't mean it doesn't do so in a cyclic manner, waves, frequencies, etc.
Existence is based on frequencies, cycles, waves, vibration. The Divine Forces mold everything into a 'spiral-like' vortex.
Look at snails, smoke, (especially when an airplane lands and the smoke near its wingtips form vortices), galaxies, waves, tornadoes, or what form
water takes when you let it out through a hole. It always tries to form a vortex. Even clouds do this. Look at pretty much anything natural and
moving, and you see vortex involved.
Um, I think I digressed a bit, but it's all in good fun.
