Life Cycles in Greater Life

Cycles of Being: From Descent to Ascent

The Nature of Cycles

Are we part of a much larger rhythm that extends far beyond our individual lives?

Even “Greater Life” is subject to cycles of life and death, of activity and rest. To our human consciousness, these periods seem extremely long, but for the encompassing consciousness, the perception of time is different. It is recommended to view the question of exact duration as secondary. Soul growth is not measured in years, but by how much we transform acquired knowledge into conscious action.

The Turning Point of Experience

All life cycles follow a U-shape. It begins with a descent from the purely spiritual into matter. At the lowest point, the reversal occurs: with the harvest of experience, the ascent back to the spiritual begins.

For the Earth, the end of the 19th century marked this critical turning point. Since then, we have been in the “harvest” phase. The experiences gained are to be transferred by the soul into the next dimension. This process is currently delayed and not guaranteed. Even on the level of great existences, failures and repeated cycles are possible.
