Human Evolution and Cosmic Cycles

of Man and for this reason we will consider a specific and particularly significant event: the birth of articulated language. Having to constrain ourselves to a date, we will consider the date of $800{,}000$ years before the current era, that is, indicatively the period following the last magnetic reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles (Fig. 17). In its definitive perfection, that is, that of Homo sapiens, we will consider another symbolic date equal to $310{,}000$ years, equal to $12$ complete Platonic years. The appearance of Man on Earth is, therefore, quite recent if we think of the orders of magnitude of geological time, but it would be superficial to consider his existence irrelevant for the purposes of terrestrial evolution. When we consider human evolution, we must consider two distinct aspects: the organic evolution of Humanity as a whole and the evolution of the individual. Each individual is inserted into Society; belongs to a family, be it physical, emotional, intellectual or spiritual, to which he contributes with his efforts. This insertion provides him with the opportunity for evolution. Just as the Galaxy provides the environment and free energy to individual stars to operate their evolution, so Society provides the environment and ecological conditions that allow the opportunity for individual evolution. The individual therefore acts on two fronts with his action: one is that of his individual evolution on which no one can interfere; the other is that of the evolution of Society which must be done in agreement and in concert with existing structures. In this chapter we will talk about the evolution of Man and Woman in an individual sense.

Human cycles in relation to terrestrial cycles

In the first chapters we have clearly distinguished the idea of time, as a progressive unidirectional flow, in contrast to its organization in the form of a cycle. Time is organized in the form of cycles to provide organisms with the opportunity to evolve. A cycle begins, brings the organism into the ideal ecological condition to operate the expected mutation in the direction provided by evolution, then the conditions can no longer be maintained and we witness a bifurcation. The causes initially set in motion are fought, and the processes of aging and death begin, cellular, organic and systemic. Finally, with the process of disintegration, reworking and then gestation, a new cycle begins that provides new opportunities for evolution to the system. Since human life and evolution are made possible by the free energy made available by the Earth and the Sun, so the fundamental cycles of man are marked by the periodic motions of the Earth-Sun System, to which lunar influence is added. These cycles are naturally defined through astronomical phenomena such as:

  • 1 day: the period of rotation of the Earth around its own axis $23\text{h }56\text{ min}$;
  • 1 sidereal month: the time taken by the Moon to complete one revolution around the Earth $27.3$ days to which the synodic month can possibly be substituted, that is, the time between one new Moon and another of about $29.5$ days;
  • 1 year: the time between one spring equinox and another, that is $365.25$ days;
  • 1 precessional or Platonic year: the time necessary to have the same pole star and which is usually indicated as $25{,}920$ years.

To these periods or natural cosmic cycles are added others less important dictated by other terrestrial, lunar, solar and other planetary motions of the solar system. These cycles coordinate harmoniously with the natural biological cycles of the human being. One degree of precession of the equinoxes corresponds to $72$ years; approximately equal to the conscious life of a man. The sidereal month is very close to the female monthly cycle. But also at more precise levels, for example, if we consider that a normal man performs $18$ respiratory acts per minute, this means that he performs $18 \times 60 \times 24 = 25{,}920$ respiratory acts in the course of a day, that is, a number equivalent to the years necessary for a precessional revolution or Platonic year. This numerical coincidence would lead one to think of the analogy between $1$ solar year as equivalent to $1$ terrestrial respiratory act. Indeed, if we notice the concentrations of CO₂ in the Earth's atmosphere detected by satellites in orbit around it (Fig. 26) we detect how the accumulation and expulsion of carbon dioxide follow an annual cyclical rhythm.
