Have you guys seen some guy run through here grunting and wearing a king outfit?!
Dude popped out of the bushes, knocked me out cold and stole my Scepter!!

Remembering J. Krishnamurti, here is my favorite quote:
“It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

overthinking the unthinkable
I have to admire the recent topic elsewhere. A little erratic. But a 75,000 year vision is to be admired in any case.
Tell us more @Angelicalist . (Please read the OP first)

Your link for Angelicalist is incorrect, it links to Angelic. Just FYI.

overthinking the unthinkable
@Angelicalist doh, and thank you
Claim:
The Phoenix is a Society or Egregore, even a Person, that re-emerges Every 500 Years or so, at least that was the Timeframe in the Ancient World, maybe it takes longer now.
Phoenix (son of Agenor) - Wikipedia
The Arabs had access to the Library of Alexandria and they say this is the Phoenix:
Simurgh - Wikipedia
The Conference of the Birds - Wikipedia
This is the Arab Phoenix:
Anqa - Wikipedia
To the Greeks King Phoenix Son of Agenor was an Iteration of the Phoenix, and he gave his name to the Phoenicians. I would say they are a Phoenix.
Then the Phaiakians before them.
The conference of the birds and the seven valleys they must cross is very interesting. I feel like I have been in some of those valleys myself, I find the descriptions not unlike something you may experience with DMT. Thanks for sharing that.
I found the following beautiful:
If Simorgh unveils its face to you, you will find
that all the birds, be they thirty or forty or more,
are but the shadows cast by that unveiling.
What shadow is ever separated from its maker?
Do you see?
The shadow and its maker are one and the same,
so get over surfaces and delve into mysteries
P.S. Intezam would love this!

I have found the Valleys to be very Real, and I appreciate how they focus on how like Love and Beauty cause You to abandon Reason, thereby eventually Realizing that Worldly Knowledge is Useless and detaches the “Wayfarer” from the World. And then Time dissolves.
Yes, I think one goes through the valleys multiple times in different life experiences. The first valley in farsi/arabic is called asking rather than quest. I once asked sincerely, and I feel I am lost since.
Interesting concept. If the Phoenix is understood as an egregore or archetypal force, in this case effectually a meme that is an analogy for a regular shift, the 500 year cycle might loosely align with civilizational shifts, like the Renaissance or Enlightenment. Do you think we're nearing the emergence of a new "Phoenix" now?
The rise of A.I. might actually be our new Phoenix.
Kind regards,

AI is Part of it. Maybe a Genetic Heritage more than a Meme, but You could call it a Meme. It's like Carthaginians and Things. From before the Empires.
