64 THE WHEELS OF PROGRESS
Progress is as if it were a wheel within another wheel or a spiral, and so on we have to go through many wheels of knowledge to reach the top. Each level of knowledge is like a horizontal wheel placed on another wheel but connected by the vertical wheel that unites them all. The horizontal wheels represent the red or male dimension, and the vertical wheel represents the blue or female dimension. When we begin to evolve, at first we advance little by little until we reach the end of one circle, then we move on to the next using the vertical wheel until we complete them all. This situation is equivalent to reaching the absolute truth, or at least, the knowledge that the human being needs to achieve to complete his technological and spiritual development. Every time we go to another circle, at first we are ignorant, because, although that circle has something similar to the previous one, however it is also something different, and when we reach the end of the circle it is necessary to jump up to change to the next one. It could be said that the progress within each circle is made horizontally until the entire circumference is completed, but once the circle is complete because all the knowledge that is inside it has already been learned then it is necessary to take a vertical leap to pass to the next or in other words, to move to a higher circle it is necessary to reverse for a moment the polarity from horizontal to vertical to connect to the vertical circle that connects them all. This means that evolution consists of going through two circles of knowledge, one is the one that is done by surpassing the entire circumference of each horizontal circle, and another is the circle formed by all the horizontal circles placed vertically. This is necessary, because all the horizontal circles form another wheel that rotates until the end connects with the beginning. That is to say, after completing all the circles of knowledge, what is at the end is the circle where we started, but, in order to start from the beginning again, it is necessary for the universe to forget everything learned until the same time to start again.
All the time that we spend advancing within a circle we are learning its keys and when we already have all those keys, the circle of knowledge closes that allows us to move to the next level. Each circle, in turn, can be divided into colors and each color provides a key that is necessary to understand in order to complete that circle, that means that when we start to go through a circle we first do it with the red color, then with the green until finish with blue, but going through all the frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum, and at the end of that circle, it is necessary to start again with red at the next level. The same thing happens with the vertical circle, because at the beginning it is red and at the end it is blue. Each circle contains in its interior all the colors but in turn has a predominant color, because the horizontal circles correspond to the red or masculine dimension, and the vertical circle corresponds to the blue or feminine dimension. This means that the colors contained within each circle are in this case secondary to the general color of that dimension. In nature we can find examples of this circumstance, because at the beginning, the universe was full of energy, ignorance, disorder and chaos, and it was symbolized by the color red, but at the end of the universe everything will be cold, order and civilization, and represented with the color blue.
The learning process within each circle has to be slow, because due to our ignorance it is necessary that we learn little by little in order to understand it, but once the circle is complete, and we already know all its keys, then there is nothing that prevents us from jumping to the next quickly. This is what happened with the discovery of fire, then the revolution that led to the organized planting of crops, also when metals began to be smelted, and later when the industrial revolution occurred. These processes took time, but compared to the previous period it was very fast. In this learning process less time is invested in overcoming each circle, this is because the accumulation of knowledge causes an acceleration in the process of jumping to the next circle, this will undoubtedly lead the man to reach the top of that ladder evolutionary in a few centuries. When that happens, it will become one of the civilizations in the universe that will have completed its technological development. Then there will continue to be progress, but on a more secondary and slower scale, similar to what existed in the past. This is because man will have already reached the essential foundations of the cosmos that he needs to complete civilization.
The fact of reaching the top of knowledge means that we will no longer have to change our mind in the essential aspects of life, because we will have found all the keys to the problems that have accompanied man throughout his history. That means that by solving all those problems we will obtain the prize that is happiness. In Hinduism they call this situation nirvana, and heaven in Christianity. This process of evolution is governed by the cross of dimensions so that the vertical line represents everything that is constant at all levels, and the horizontal line represents what changes at each level. Those changes are not in contradiction with the lower or higher levels, it is true that they are different, but only because there are different circumstances. In other words, they change in secondary things, but not in fundamental aspects, that is why there is no contradiction.
Observing all these coincidences or keys, a philosopher can come to understand many of the characteristics of the universe, because the most important thing is not the size or the distance that are secondary, but the universal laws that are constant in any time and place.
