Nowadays, we tend to be very individualistic and detached from our family tree. We think little about where we came from. But a closer look will reveal that we are part of a longer lineage, a longer story. We are but a passing link in a "river of genes," which produces both flaws and strong talents. Generations come and go, and the players keep changing, but history continues to generate parallels. Our tribal "human river" has inclinations and ambitions that resurface throughout the centuries. Therefore, we are all the product of an older journey, which has recurring themes as well as a long-range direction. Through all of that, our ancestry holds a major sway upon our personal trek through life, so we are not immune from that lineage. Knowing that background makes you a smarter player. The common wisdom is that history has a relentless way of repeating itself.

We see the same in universal patterns, where similar configurations show up again and again. The reappearance is not always identical, but often bigger and still with a close resemblance to its previous form. What matters to us is that history holds hints about where we are going – and that even goes for our spiritual future. A little later we will explore your "creation history" with exactly that prospect in mind.
