The Cycles Of Humankind
A Saecula (Saeculum) is a seasonal cycles of history. A saeculum is about 80 to 90 years long - the length of a long human life - and is further divided into four "Turnings" that are about 20 to 22 years long - as long as the period between birth and adulthood. Children raised during a particular Turning share similar historical and cultural experiences, resulting in distinct generational types.
We should visualise that everything happened in an analogue manner with interlapping stages. Each of these cycle ends one phase and starts another, it seems more a measure of energy influence than that of time. So with this in mind and we are at the last stage of the 4 "Turnings" everything starts over again, this restarting is on the next higher level though not a restart like back to where we came from but a new start from where we are now.
