Looking at points of time and history and how they fit together to form patterns or cycles within the human context has been something I have been interested in since childhood. It appears that what we believe are random events often are not when studying patterns.
Within some cycles, there are smaller ones, and long cycles inside larger cycles. An example is a biblical generation of 13 years or a 20-year cycle, which is easier to study and find repeating patterns within.
It is the longer or larger time cycle that is the most interesting. These cycles include the sweeping 516 years that hold the Maunder Minimum (MM) and how it led to Mary Shelley writing one of the first and best-known horror novels, Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, in 1818.
Seeing how Shelley used her environment to build a story is how I have used what I learned in my world literature classes, and I do not believe Mr. Coyne would approve if he knew. Furthermore, much of this fuels my insomnia or at least entertains me when sleep proves elusive.
The MM also held a cycle within its cycle, the coldest part of the “Little Ice Age” occurring between 1500 and 1850 in the Northern Hemisphere, when the Thames River in England froze over during winter, Viking settlers abandoned Greenland, and Norway farmers demanded that the Danish king recompense them for lands occupied by advancing glaciers.
The bottom of the previous 516-year cycle came around 1663. The latest 516-cycle ended in 2007.
Five-sixteen divided by three is 172 years, a cycle of depression and drought. Add to this that every 172.4 years, Uranus conjuncts with Neptune, and the last three times it happened, there has been a crisis fourteen years after the date.
We re-entered the cycle in 2021 and will not exit until 2193.
The same 172.4 years make up the drought clock, which predicts the worldwide phenomena that have repeated over time and history. Each time there’s a temperature peak, a major civilization also peaks and then goes into contraction.
It has happened over and over again throughout recorded history. International wars always occur as the climate grows warmer and there is a societal abundance, while civil wars happen on the downswing in difficult financial times.
At the bottom of these cycles and as the climate turns warmer, the population becomes laxer, allowing the government to gain the upper hand and erode civil liberties. As reedoms evaporate, dictatorships become more prevalent, centralized, and autocratic.
After the turn, pure democracies rapidly move towards socialism, with Republics at a slower pace and International wars morphing into civil wars. At the same time, trade wars develop, countries become more nationalistic, borders soften, inflation increases, credit freezes, and Real estate markets top out.
At the top of these 516-year cycles, weak leaders abound. Populist leaders get elected, and power grabs often end in assassinations and impeachments at the executive level.
Examples include the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 B.C., Ramses III in 1156 B.C., and the beheading of English and Scottish kings and queens at the top of the 500-year cycle about the year A.D. 1500, with James I in 1437, Henry VI in 1471, Lady Jane Grey in 1537, Mary I in 1567, and Charles I in 1649.
We are on the cusp of a major revolution that will uncover most of the lies that have allowed the Elite to become rich and powerful during these cycles.
