"In our individual lives- and collectively- we go round and round in a circle traced out for us by planets and stars. But if we can become conscious of these circles, if we can become conscious of the activity of the stars and planets in our lives in a most intimate way, then we are, no longer trapped by them. We may rise above them, we are moving now not in a circle , but in an upward spiral. "

Jonathan Black - "The Secret History of the World"
