Period length in years α = 0,05 Probability Steppe nomads like the Hyksos, Scythians, Siung-nu, Huns, and Mongols fell upon settled civilizations periodi- cally every 500 years (the probability of error is p < 0.02). Turmoil, strife and the collapse of dynasties took place peri- odically worldwide. This rhythm was well-known to the cul- tures of antiquity. In China, it was ascribed to the will of Heaven; the Egyptians and Babylonians ascribed it to the recurrent reign of the warlike gods Seth and Nergal; He- brews to the influence of Samael, the fallen angel. Periodicity means renaissance or recurrence of similar values and analogical cultural patterns in the arts, sciences, philosophy, religion, politics and technology. The 500-year rhythm can be especially observed in many branches of activity throughout history worldwide. Great physicians appear peri- odically in the ages of Raphael, the patron of medicine; great musicians especially in the ages of Anael, the angel of love etc. PERIODICITY The frequency of barbarian incursions and raids of steppe nomads against settled peoples of Eurasia. 120 incursions in the past 5000 years (Haywood & Vidal-Naquet) Significant period lengths between 485 and 520 years Threshold of statistical significance German philosophy German literature German music Kant Bach Beethoven Hegel Schiller Goethe Florescence of German spirit Two hundred years ago, German creativity cul- minated in several branches of culture parallely (correlation coefficient r ≈ 0.75; p < 0.0005). 222 artists and thinkers (according to Kroeber). The greatest European philosopher, poet and music composer around 1800 were Germans. Collocation is a complementary notion to synchronicity. Creative peaks of the same kind at the same time in different places constitute a synchronicity. Collocation takes place if seve- ral kinds of creative activity reach their peak at the same place simultaneously. Another exam- ple could be the parallel culmination of pain- ting, literature, music, sculpture, architecture, science and philosophy in France around 1200 or in Italy around 1500. Secret lore explains synchronicity as an inspi- ration of the time-spirit, whilst collocation is an inspiration of the spirit of place or the folk-so- ul. Golden ages of nations used to be explai- ned by the coming and going of their protecti- ve spirit. For instance, the Toltec dominance in Mesoamerica by the arrival and departure of the Feathered Serpent in the 10th to 12th cen- tury (a winged serpent is the symbol of Rapha- el, the archangel of Mercury). COLLOCATION CAUSALITY year C. E. Fatalism and predestination in religion (Frolov&Abdusamedov) Tenebrism and chiaroscuro in art (Wikipedia) Determinism in philosophy (Frolov&Abdusamedov) Mechanics as science (Kroeber) Calvin Jansen Caravaggio de La Tour Descartes Spinoza Laplace Galilei Newton Within two generations, religious fatalism and belief in divine predestination concretized into the science of mechanics. First came prophets preaching that every- thing is pre-ordained by the inexorable will of God and destiny. Then came artists emphasizing a dramatic at- mosphere with sharp contrasts of light and dark. And last came deterministic philosophers and mechanical science. The mechanistic worldview was not caused by the presence of machinery in our lives. On the contrary, the science of mechanics resulted from a religious im- pulse. Altogether they are diverse manifestations of the Saturnine need for certitude, clarity, definiteness, safety and permanency. This three-in-one wave in the collective unconscious fills up the traditional age of the archangel Oriphiel be- tween 1550 and 1650. Descartes wrote down his encoun- ter with this angel in black who inspired his mechanical science on the night of November 10th in 1619. A detailed analysis of temporal subsequence in histori- cal events reveals the chain and direction of causality. A typical causal chain springs from the inside out, not outside-in. External events are preceded and caused by soul processes, not the other way round. A new spiritual impulse descends in a three-stage process through will- ing, feeling and thinking. The religious inspiration of the first generation turns into an artistic mood during the second generation and becomes fully aware as phi- losophy or science with the third generation. Finally, it pours into the outward forms of technology, law and social organization shaping our environment. As further examples we could mention the romantic moods preceding revolutions around 1800; fascination with space preceding oversea discoveries around 1500; abstract art anticipating new concepts in physics around 1900 and many others. -55 mil.

Angelology as an integration of psychology, history and biology Ancient wisdom has bequeathed to us knowledge about man and the world condensed into images of angels and dei- ties. Angelology contains real knowledge about developmental psychology, personality typology, the history of culture and the evolution of nature. Demonology contains knowledge about personality disorders, psychosomatic causes of ailments, pathological social phenomena and the extinction of species in nature. The sages of antiquity attempted a great synthesis that would give human experience a unifying meaning. Through intro- spective observation of their own inner world they discovered universal, archetypal principles that mould the world. Man is a microcosm, the sum total of nature, and nature is man disassembled into individual aspects. The human being is the harmonious centre where all cosmic forces create an equilibrium. Personality types and cultural patterns arise through an emphasis on certain processes of the soul and shifts from the centre. Their unilateral escalation gives rise to personality disorders and pathological social phenomena. Since every soul-process corporealizes in some physiological process and group of organs, somatic types arise and classes of plants and animals, too. Anorganic nature, like planets and metals, also used to be classified according to soul analogies and were believed to be the manifestation or vehicle of spiritual forces. A lot of ancient wisdom has proven to be true despite the fact that it results from a fairly different way of thinking and is unexpected for modern science. Angelology’s integral method permits the identification of fundamental forces and laws of individual and collective psychology. Practical impulses for human happiness, health and golden ages of culture ensue from it. Human life is like the annual cycle of a plant. Childhood, school age, puberty, adult- hood, the mid-life crisis, the age of maturity and old age are analogous to germination, growth, flowering, spiritual fecundation, wilting, ripening of the fruit and the creation of seeds. The seven processes that in man manifest themselves more within the soul than on the physical level create the seven plant organs: germ, leaf, flower, stalk, anther, fruit and seed. The seven archangels create the seven parts of the plant and inspire seven human spiritual abilities. Johannes Trithemius, Pietro d’Abano and Abraham ibn Ezra (12th century) mention these dates of greater rulers of time. According to the “opinion of very many of the ancients”, seven archangels alternate cyclically as spirits of time and each of them inspires a period lasting 354 years and 4 months. The same archangel comes back again every 2,480 years. Gautama Buddha described this cycle as the “wheel of dharma” that turns once every 25 centuries. In every Michaelic age, one buddha appears. Old Babylonians believed that time has a quali- tative structure based on the number seven. Seven world-days (72 years) comprise a world-week (504 years). Thirty world-days comprise a world-month (2,160 years) and three hundred and sixty world- days comprise a world-year (25,920 years). Each world-day is ruled by one of the seven planetary gods who gives it a distinct spiritual hue or quality. Cultural types in history alternate and follow in the same order like mental configurations in the biog- raphy of an individual. The same rhythms or at least some of them were observed and described inde- pendently by the Egyptians, Indians and Chinese. Statistical analysis of the curves of creativity in history confirms that these rhythms have held fast worldwide for at least the last five thousand years in many cultural fields. Every 500 years in the ages of Venus, for example, a global puberty called ro- mantism appears. Saturnine epochs show traits of senescence in the collective soul and cultural forms analogous to the senile period in life. Throughout history people have reported equal or similar creative inspirations and insights at the same time and independently of each other in dif- ferent places on Earth without mutual contact. In line with the then local cultural context, these ex- periences used to be explained as the apparition of gods, angels, ancestors, or as the subconscious activity of the brain. The synchronicity of these ex- periences proves that they contain an intersubjec- tive component. The causes of this phenomenon are not clear and are open to interpretation consistent with both ide- alistic or materialistic metaphysics. According to the idealist tradition, angels do exist and inspire history. Materialistic science looks for a periodic cosmophysical factor that could trigger psycho- physical patterns of behavior inherited from the shared evolutionary past of man and nature (Páleš & Mikulecký). 1989 JUPITER 1845 SUN 1701 MERCURY 1557 SATURN 1413 MARS 1269 SUN 1125 MERCURY 981 SATURN 837 MARS 693 VENUS 549 MOON 405 JUPITER 261 SUN 117 MERCURY -27 SATURN -171 MARS -315 VENUS -459 MOON -603 JUPITER -747 SUN -891 MERCURY -1035 SATURN -1179 MARS -1323 VENUS -1467 MOON -1611 JUPITER -1755 SUN -1899 MERCURY -2043 SATURN -2187 MARS -2331 VENUS -2475 MOON -2619 JUPITER -2763 SUN -2907 MERCURY -3 051 MOON 2061 SATURN 1917 MARS 1773 VENUS 1629 MOON 1485 JUPITER 1341 MARS 1197 VENUS 1053 MOON 909 JUPITER 765 SUN 621 MERCURY 477 SATURN 333 MARS 189 VENUS 45 MOON -99 JUPITER -243 SUN -387 MERCURY -531 SATURN -675 MARS -819 VENUS -963 MOON -1107 J UPIT ER -1251 SUN -1395 MERCURY -1539 SATURN -1683 MARS -1827 VENUS -1971 MOON -2115 JUPITER -2259 SUN -2403 MERCURY -2547 SATURN -2691 MARS -2835 VENUS -2 979 MERCURY -3 123 SATURN According to the Pan-Babylonian school of assyriologists (Hastings), the calendar used in Ptolemaic Egypt was linked to the concept of alternating world ages related to the precession of the Earth’s axis. The age of Ram started with the reign of the Babylo- nian king Nabonassar in 747 B. C. E. Every arc degree of the zodiac is ruled by one plan- et. The first degree of each sign is governed by the ruler of the whole sign. Afterwards, planetary rulers follow cyclically in the Chaldean order until the end of the sign. At the first degree of the following sign the cycle begins anew with the ruler of the new sign. According to Zoroastrian mythology, the world evolves in twelve stages inspired by the twelve Cherubim (star signs). The Zodiac contains twelve principles which have gradu- ally manifested themselves in the evolution of Earth and living nature. Indeed, the differentiation in organ systems over the course of evolution took place roughly in the sequence of zodiac signs consistent with the astrological signatures of particular organs. Bilateral symmetry and the central nervous system arose in the (Pro- terozoic) age of Gemini; the exoskeleton in the age of Cancer; the heart and spine in the (Paleozoic) age of Leo; the rhythmic system of the chest in the age of Virgo. The urogenital system became the centre of evolution in the (Mesozoic) age of Libra and Scorpio; the limb system in the (Tertiary) age of Sagittarius. Animals and plants mu- tated simultaneously in analogical ways without living in similar environments or having a common ancestor. In the age of Libra, the whole of nature developed Venusian quali- ties: an emotional brain, contrasting sexes, a sense of beauty and social bonds, singing, adornments. In the age of Capricorn, animals grew bony – dozens of taxons developed horns, tusks and antlers. It seems that besides heredity and environment there is a third force in nature responsible for synchronous convergence. Zodiac Man by the Limbourg brothers (15th century). The me- dieval concept of man understood the human body as the conflu- ence of twelve formative forces originating in the sphere of fixed stars. The twelve signs beginning with Aries and ending with Pisces shape the human body from head to foot. Every sign is displayed where some subsystem of organs comes noticeably to the fore. The solar sign of Leo is placed on the heart as the centre of the circula- tory system. The Venusian signs of Taurus and Libra coincide with the biggest (azygous and didymous) glands. Capricorn marks the knee, where the system of bones and joints is best visible. Decans and smaller segments of the zodiac reflect subsystems and relation- ships between the organs. The fractal structure of the zodiac reflects the knowledge of medieval medicine about the human body. Ontogeny (development of an organism) roughly recapitulates phylogeny (evolutionary history of the species). The human fetus develops from the head down to the feet under the influence of signs beginning with Aries and ending with Pisces. Astromedicine anticipated the biogenetic law two thousand years before Haeckel. The Biblical legend of the Fall, the intervention of Lucifer and the separation of the sexes, refers to a particular geological era that is recapitulated during the seventh week of pregnancy. At that time, the embryo undergoes sexual differentiation along with the greatest risk of teratogenesis (abnormal development). Dr. Emil Páleš (1966) graduated from Comenius University in Brati- slava and headed a research project in artificial intelligence at the Slovak Academy of Sciences. In 1994, he es- tablished the Sophia Foundation and edited the Sophia Journal for seven years. His work continues the study of sophiology in the footsteps of Comen- ius, Solovyov and the Štúr group - sophiology as an effort to synthesize different sources of knowledge (sensu- al experience, reason and revelation), as well as different domains of knowl- edge (about nature, man and God).

POLARITY Geometry Arithmetics and algebra Least-squares fit The percentual proportion of arithmetic vs. geometry in worldwide creativity in the history of mathemat- ics. The one and the other prevail al- ternatively in a 500-year rhythm. 115 geometers and 134 pioneers of alge- bra and arithmetics (according to Wikipedia). The probability of the random origin of such rhythm is less than 1 : 1 million. The right brain hemisphere spe- cializes in spatial perception, the face recognition and mental rota- tion of objects; in the left hemi- sphere there are centers for lan- guage, syntax and sequential processing of symbols, including al- gebraic expressions that used to be formulated as verbal tasks until the Middle Ages. The cerebral hemi- spheres are active alternately every 90 minutes – a similar rhythmic ac- tivation seems to also take place on a global scale in a 500-year cycle. Algebra and geometry are mutu- ally convertible; every algebraic equation describes a curve, surface or solid constituting its solution. Humans alternately prefer one of these two capabilities. At times “God geometrizes” (Plato), at other times “God arithmetizes” (Gauss). Antiquity knew this cultural rhythm and ascribed it to the alter- nating rule of Raphael and Zach- ariel, the archangels of Mercury and Jupiter. Iovian gods endowed humankind with the sense of shapes and spatial orientation, sculpture or geography; the gift of Mercurial deities is alphabet and language, calcul and combinatorial intelligence. Polarity means that complemen- tary mental faculties culminate in an antiphase. One wanes and reaches its nadir just when the other one waxes and reaches its zenith. Further examples are the periodic alternation of idealism vs. materialism in the history of phi- losophy; or conservativism vs. liber- alism in politics. Knowledge about these rhythms and laws of mental forces in our collective and indi- vidual unconscious has been en- shrined in myth about gods, angels, their relationship and astrological opposites (Solar vs. Lunar, Satur- nine vs. Venusian). CONGRUENCE Philosophers. Creative output in world philosophy (Kroeber) Democracies. Number of newly founded democracies (Gordon) year C. E. Buddha Confucius Plato Laozi Aristotle Athenian democracy Roman republic Indian republics San Marino Maya Vikings aristocratic parliaments Swiss democracy modern democracies Nagarjuna Augustine Sankara Zhuxi Descartes Kant Hegel Aquinas The sons and grandsons of great philosophers live in a free society. Republican and democratic con- stitutions correlate with the flow- ering of philosophical thinking (r = 0.59; p < 0.000001) after a time delay of about 50 years. 320 philosophers and 540 democra- cies worldwide. Thinking and free- dom cannot be separated. Both are gifts of Michael, the liberator of souls and patron of philosophy. Congruence means that corre- sponding types of religion, art, sci- ence, philosophy and social organi- zation tend to always appear together. For instance, materialism in philosophy goes hand in hand with empirical science, hedonism in ethics and with a sensate type of art. Corresponding types belong and occur together because of some inner logic and necessity (materialism and atomism; botany and medicine; astronomy and trigonometry) or because of some common underlying talent — a mental faculty promoted in that epoch. For instance the co- occurence of painting with the novel is based on enhanced imagi- nation; geometry with sculpture on the sense of space; history with absolutism on conservative moods; rationalism with arithmetic on combinatorial intellect; wars with technological innovations on the will to power; landscape painting with lyric poetry and mysticism on exalted feelings.

Sorceresses mixing elix- irs, poisons and love potions were the real chemists of the mythic age. The art to handle substances returns periodically every 500 years (p < 0.0006), yet in every age it un- dergoes a metamorphosis. In the mythical age of imagination it took the form of witchcraft. Since the dawn of the age of rational phi- losophy the same domain has been approached by the protoscience of alchemy. Chemistry is the modern variant of its predecessors. Ancient wisdom captured this rhythm within the stories about the ages of the Venusian goddesses like Isis, the mistress of spells and enchantment, who was said to be the inspirer of alchemy. Metamorphosis means that one and the same mental faculty under- goes development. It does not recur unchanged, but takes on a new form during its subsequent returns. As a further example, it can serve the transformation of Dionysian mysteries into theatre. Generally, the mysteries of the ancient gods were transformed into later “lines of thought”. Initiations of Gabriel and Michael, Oriphiel and Raphael survive within the political left and right, conservative and liberal. Creativity in historiography year C. E. SYNCHRONICITY Chinese historians (Kroeber) Graeco-Roman historians (Kroeber) Byzantine historians (Zástěrová) Zuo Zhuan Herodotus Tacitus Procopius Psellos Livy Sima Qian Ban Gu Sima Guang Creativity in historiography pul- sated synchronously in the West and in the Far East (correlation co- efficient r = 0.56; p < 0.000002). 113 greatest historians. Without knowing about each other, famous Chinese and antique western histo- rians were contemporaries. The contents of their work are original, and yet arose at the same time. Times of increased interest in his- tory correspond to the ages of the archangel Oriphiel. Synchronicity means that ana- logical cultural patterns, similar creative achievements or inven- tions occur at the same time in two or more distant places on Earth, often with little or no contact be- tween them. The best-known his- torical synchronicity is the axial age. From 600 to 300 B. C. great prophets and thinkers appeared and proclaimed similar ideas in China, India, Persia and Greece: Confucius, Laozi, Buddha, Zoro- aster, Plato, Aristotle. They are said to have been inspired by solar gods or by the archangel of the Sun, Michael; and the axial epoch was traditionally known as the Michaelic age. Dozens of synchronicities of all kinds can be observed throughout history. Worldwide democratiza- tion around the 6th century B.C. and imperial centralization around the 2nd century B.C. Alchemists in the 3rd century, dramatists in the 17th. Spherical architecture around the 1st century BC, rhyth- mical architecture around the 11th, and pointed architecture around the 14th century.

E. Love sublimates into poetry. Sensual love can be spiritualized. Eros can take on higher and lower forms. It can be subtilized and elevated into poetry, music, and bridal mysticism. Or it can become coarse and sink into orgi- astics and rebellions. All of these manifestations, as well as the sum total of erotic energy, are gov- erned by the rhythm of Venus, yet different proportions are trans- formed and refined in each age. More love was sublimated into poetry during the Middle Ages than in modern times. Ancient myth distinguished two forms of love — Afrodite Urania (celestial love) and Afrodite Pan- demos (earthly love). Sublimation means that one mental capability, quality or energy can take on higher and lower forms. Soul qualities can be ennobled into virtues or degener- ate into vices. The former are creative and liberating, the latter destructive and enslaving. The possibility of sublimation intro- duces a vertical dimension of free- dom through individual spiritual effort into angelology. Further examples are the subli- mation of bellicosity into rhetoric; receptivity into empirical science or Caesarism into eremitism and self-discipline. 0 10 70 60 50 40 30 20 The seven ages of man after Ptolemy (2nd century). Ac- cording to ancient notions, each stage of human life is governed by a different planetary intelligence. According to developmental psychology, there is a typical configuration of mental capacities and traits for each life stage. For instance, phantasy in early child- hood; intellectual curiosity at school age; emotional bonding in adolescence; rigidity and introversion in old age. These are simply the properties of classical deities associated with those life stages. Astrology is an ancient typology of personality. The modern classification of personality disorders is to a certain extent a rediscovery of astral types and their relationships. For instance, astrology long ago formulated the traits of hysterical and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders as well as their complementarity expressed through the opposition of Luna and Saturn. Astronomy and poetry are cross-correlated with a time delay of 200 years (correlation co- efficient r = 0.54; probability of error p < 1:400 million). 718 greatest astronomers and poets worldwide (according to Kroeber). Great poets arrive two hundred years after great astronomers. Goethe came 200 years after Kepler in Germany, and so did Nizami after Al-Biruni in Persia, Bhavabhuti after Aryabhatta in India. Circa 200 years had al- ready separated great astronomers and poets in ancient Greece and Rome, like Aristarchus and Hipparchus from Virgil and Ovid; or Zu Chongzhi from Li Bai in China. Sequence means that various creative fields tend to flourish in a fixed order of succession. Angelology implies this succession in the order of ruling time-spirits. Lesser spirits of time rule for 72 years each and follow the Chaldean order: Sin, Nabu, Inanna, Shamash, Nergal, Marduk, Ninurta. The Chaldean order of plan- etary gods turned later into the sequence of Judeo-Christian archangels: Gabriel, Raphael, Anael, Michael, Samael, Zachariel, Oriphiel. The spirit of love and passion (Venus) comes 200 years later than the inspirer of astronomy and exact sciences (Saturn). Another example: queens regnant are fol- lowed by the collapse of dynasties worldwide and throughout all history. +200 years + 500 + 1000 Correlation coefficient Time delay in years SEQUENCE

Steppe nomads like the Hyksos, Scythians, Siung-nu, Huns, and Mongols fell upon settled civilizations periodi-cally every 500 years (the probability of error is p < 0.02). Turmoil, strife and the collapse of dynasties took place peri-odically worldwide. This rhythm was well-known to the cul-tures of antiquity. In China, it was ascribed to the will of Heaven; the Egyptians and Babylonians ascribed it to the recurrent reign of the warlike gods Seth and Nergal; He-brews to the influence of Samael, the fallen angel.
Periodicity means renaissance or recurrence of similar values and analogical cultural patterns in the arts, sciences, philosophy, religion, politics and technology. The 500-year rhythm can be especially observed in many branches of activity throughout history worldwide. Great physicians appear peri-odically in the ages of Raphael, the patron of medicine; great musicians especially in the ages of Anael, the angel of love etc.

Florescence of German spirit
Two hundred years ago, German creativity cul-minated in several branches of culture parallely (correlation coefficient r ≈ 0.75; p < 0.0005). 222 artists and thinkers (according to Kroeber). The greatest European philosopher, poet and music composer around 1800 were Germans.
Collocation is a complementary notion to synchronicity. Creative peaks of the same kind at the same time in different places constitute a synchronicity. Collocation takes place if seve-ral kinds of creative activity reach their peak at the same place simultaneously. Another exam-ple could be the parallel culmination of pain-ting, literature, music, sculpture, architecture, science and philosophy in France around 1200 or in Italy around 1500.
Secret lore explains synchronicity as an inspi-ration of the time-spirit, whilst collocation is an inspiration of the spirit of place or the folk-so-ul. Golden ages of nations used to be explai-ned by the coming and going of their protecti-ve spirit. For instance, the Toltec dominance in Mesoamerica by the arrival and departure of the Feathered Serpent in the 10th to 12th cen-tury (a winged serpent is the symbol of Rapha-el, the archangel of Mercury).

Within two generations, religious fatalism and belief in divine predestination concretized into the science of mechanics. First came prophets preaching that every-thing is pre-ordained by the inexorable will of God and destiny. Then came artists emphasizing a dramatic at-mosphere with sharp contrasts of light and dark. And last came deterministic philosophers and mechanical science. The mechanistic worldview was not caused by the presence of machinery in our lives. On the contrary, the science of mechanics resulted from a religious im-pulse. Altogether they are diverse manifestations of the Saturnine need for certitude, clarity, definiteness, safety and permanency.
This three-in-one wave in the collective unconscious fills up the traditional age of the archangel Oriphiel be-tween 1550 and 1650. Descartes wrote down his encoun-ter with this angel in black who inspired his mechanical science on the night of November 10th in 1619.
A detailed analysis of temporal subsequence in histori-cal events reveals the chain and direction of causality. A typical causal chain springs from the inside out, not outside-in. External events are preceded and caused by soul processes, not the other way round. A new spiritual impulse descends in a three-stage process through will-ing, feeling and thinking. The religious inspiration of the first generation turns into an artistic mood during the second generation and becomes fully aware as phi-losophy or science with the third generation. Finally, it pours into the outward forms of technology, law and social organization shaping our environment.
As further examples we could mention the romantic moods preceding revolutions around 1800; fascination with space preceding oversea discoveries around 1500; abstract art anticipating new concepts in physics around 1900 and many others.

Angelologyas an integration of psychology,
history and biologyAncient wisdom has bequeathed to us knowledge about man and the world condensed into images of angels and dei-
ties. Angelology contains real knowledge about developmental psychology, personality typology, the history of culture and the evolution of nature. Demonology contains knowledge about personality disorders, psychosomatic causes of ailments, pathological social phenomena and the extinction of species in nature.
The sages of antiquity attempted a great synthesis that would give human experience a unifying meaning. Through intro-spective observation of their own inner world they discovered universal, archetypal principles that mould the world. Man is a microcosm, the sum total of nature, and nature is man disassembled into individual aspects. The human being is the harmonious centre where all cosmic forces create an equilibrium. Personality types and cultural patterns arise through an emphasis on certain processes of the soul and shifts from the centre. Their unilateral escalation gives rise to personality disorders and pathological social phenomena. Since every soul-process corporealizes in some physiological process and group of organs, somatic types arise and classes of plants and animals, too. Anorganic nature, like planets and metals, also used to be classified according to soul analogies and were believed to be the manifestation or vehicle of spiritual forces.
A lot of ancient wisdom has proven to be true despite the fact that it results from a fairly different way of thinking and is unexpected for modern science. Angelology’s integral method permits the identification of fundamental forces and laws of individual and collective psychology. Practical impulses for human happiness, health and golden ages of culture ensue from it.
Human life is like the annual cycle of a plant. Childhood, school age, puberty, adult-hood, the mid-life crisis, the age of maturity and old age are analogous to germination, growth, flowering, spiritual fecundation, wilting, ripening of the fruit and the creation of seeds. The seven processes that in man manifest themselves more within the soul than on the physical level create the seven plant organs: germ, leaf, flower, stalk, anther, fruit and seed. The seven archangels create the seven parts of the plant and inspire seven human spiritual abilities.
Johannes Trithemius, Pietro d’Abano and Abraham ibn Ezra (12th century) mention these dates of greater rulers of time. According to the “opinion of very many of the ancients”, seven archangels alternate cyclically as spirits of time and each of them inspires a period lasting 354 years and 4 months. The same archangel comes back again every 2,480 years. Gautama Buddha described this cycle as the “wheel of dharma” that turns once every 25 centuries. In every Michaelic age, one buddha appears.
Old Babylonians believed that time has a quali-tative structure based on the number seven. Seven world-days (72 years) comprise a world-week (504 years). Thirty world-days comprise a world-month (2,160 years) and three hundred and sixty world-days comprise a world-year (25,920 years). Each world-day is ruled by one of the seven planetary gods who gives it a distinct spiritual hue or quality. Cultural types in history alternate and follow in the same order like mental configurations in the biog-raphy of an individual. The same rhythms or at least some of them were observed and described inde-pendently by the Egyptians, Indians and Chinese.
Statistical analysis of the curves of creativity in history confirms that these rhythms have held fast worldwide for at least the last five thousand years in many cultural fields. Every 500 years in the ages of Venus, for example, a global puberty called ro-mantism appears. Saturnine epochs show traits of senescence in the collective soul and cultural forms analogous to the senile period in life.
Throughout history people have reported equal or similar creative inspirations and insights at the same time and independently of each other in dif-ferent places on Earth without mutual contact. In line with the then local cultural context, these ex-periences used to be explained as the apparition of gods, angels, ancestors, or as the subconscious activity of the brain. The synchronicity of these ex-periences proves that they contain an intersubjec-tive component.
The causes of this phenomenon are not clear and are open to interpretation consistent with both ide-alistic or materialistic metaphysics. According to the idealist tradition, angels do exist and inspire history. Materialistic science looks for a periodic cosmophysical factor that could trigger psycho-physical patterns of behavior inherited from the shared evolutionary past of man and nature (Páleš & Mikulecký).

According to the Pan-Babylonian school of assyriologists (Hastings), the calendar used in Ptolemaic Egypt was linked to the concept of alternating world ages related to the precession of the Earth’s axis. The age of Ram started with the reign of the Babylo-nian king Nabonassar in 747 B. C. E. Every arc degree of the zodiac is ruled by one plan-et. The first degree of each sign is governed by the ruler of the whole sign. Afterwards, planetary rulers follow cyclically in the Chaldean order until the end of the sign. At the first degree of the following sign the cycle begins anew with the ruler of the new sign.
According to Zoroastrian mythology, the world evolves in twelve stages inspired by the twelve Cherubim (star signs). The Zodiac contains twelve principles which have gradu-ally manifested themselves in the evolution of Earth and living nature.
Indeed, the differentiation in organ systems over the course of evolution took place roughly in the sequence of zodiac signs consistent with the astrological signatures of particular organs. Bilateral symmetry and the central nervous system arose in the (Pro-terozoic) age of Gemini; the exoskeleton in the age of Cancer; the heart and spine in the (Paleozoic) age of Leo; the rhythmic system of the chest in the age of Virgo. The urogenital system became the centre of evolution in the (Mesozoic) age of Libra and Scorpio; the limb system in the (Tertiary) age of Sagittarius. Animals and plants mu-tated simultaneously in analogical ways without living in similar environments or having a common ancestor. In the age of Libra, the whole of nature developed Venusian quali-ties: an emotional brain, contrasting sexes, a sense of beauty and social bonds, singing, adornments. In the age of Capricorn, animals grew bony – dozens of taxons developed horns, tusks and antlers. It seems that besides heredity and environment there is a third force in nature responsible for synchronous convergence.
Zodiac Man by the Limbourg brothers (15th century). The me-dieval concept of man understood the human body as the conflu-ence of twelve formative forces originating in the sphere of fixed stars. The twelve signs beginning with Aries and ending with Pisces shape the human body from head to foot. Every sign is displayed where some subsystem of organs comes noticeably to the fore. The solar sign of Leo is placed on the heart as the centre of the circula-tory system. The Venusian signs of Taurus and Libra coincide with the biggest (azygous and didymous) glands. Capricorn marks the knee, where the system of bones and joints is best visible. Decans and smaller segments of the zodiac reflect subsystems and relation-ships between the organs. The fractal structure of the zodiac reflects the knowledge of medieval medicine about the human body.
Ontogeny (development of an organism) roughly recapitulates phylogeny (evolutionary history of the species). The human fetus develops from the head down to the feet under the influence of signs beginning with Aries and ending with Pisces. Astromedicine anticipated the biogenetic law two thousand years before Haeckel.
The Biblical legend of the Fall, the intervention of Lucifer and the separation of the sexes, refers to a particular geological era that is recapitulated during the seventh week of pregnancy. At that time, the embryo undergoes sexual differentiation along with the greatest risk of teratogenesis (abnormal development).
Dr. Emil Páleš (1966) graduated from Comenius University in Brati-slava and headed a research project in artificial intelligence at the Slovak Academy of Sciences. In 1994, he es-tablished the Sophia Foundation and edited the Sophia Journal for seven years. His work continues the study of sophiology in the footsteps of Comen-ius, Solovyov and the Štúr group - sophiology as an effort to synthesize different sources of knowledge (sensu-al experience, reason and revelation), as well as different domains of knowl-edge (about nature, man and God).

POLARITY
Geometry Arithmetics and algebra Least-squares fit
The percentual proportion of arithmetic vs. geometry in worldwide creativity in the history of mathemat-ics. The one and the other prevail al-ternatively in a 500-year rhythm. 115 geometers and 134 pioneers of alge-bra and arithmetics (according to Wikipedia). The probability of the random origin of such rhythm is less than 1 : 1 million.
The right brain hemisphere spe-cializes in spatial perception, the face recognition and mental rota-tion of objects; in the left hemi-sphere there are centers for lan-guage, syntax and sequential processing of symbols, including al-gebraic expressions that used to be formulated as verbal tasks until the Middle Ages. The cerebral hemi-
spheres are active alternately every 90 minutes – a similar rhythmic ac-tivation seems to also take place on a global scale in a 500-year cycle.
Algebra and geometry are mutu-ally convertible; every algebraic equation describes a curve, surface or solid constituting its solution. Humans alternately prefer one of these two capabilities. At times “God geometrizes” (Plato), at other times “God arithmetizes” (Gauss).
Antiquity knew this cultural rhythm and ascribed it to the alter-nating rule of Raphael and Zach-ariel, the archangels of Mercury and Jupiter. Iovian gods endowed humankind with the sense of shapes and spatial orientation, sculpture or geography; the gift of
Mercurial deities is alphabet and language, calcul and combinatorial intelligence.
Polarity means that complemen-tary mental faculties culminate in an antiphase. One wanes and reaches its nadir just when the other one waxes and reaches its zenith. Further examples are the periodic alternation of idealism vs. materialism in the history of phi-losophy; or conservativism vs. liber-alism in politics. Knowledge about these rhythms and laws of mental forces in our collective and indi-vidual unconscious has been en-shrined in myth about gods, angels, their relationship and astrological opposites (Solar vs. Lunar, Satur-nine vs. Venusian).

The sons and grandsons of great philosophers live in a free society. Republican and democratic con-stitutions correlate with the flow-ering of philosophical thinking (r = 0.59; p < 0.000001) after a time delay of about 50 years. 320 philosophers and 540 democra-cies worldwide. Thinking and free-dom cannot be separated. Both are gifts of Michael, the liberator of souls and patron of philosophy.
Congruence means that corre-sponding types of religion, art, sci-ence, philosophy and social organi-zation tend to always appear together. For instance, materialism in philosophy goes hand in hand with empirical science, hedonism in ethics and with a sensate type of art.
Corresponding types belong and occur together because of some inner logic and necessity (materialism and atomism; botany
and medicine; astronomy and trigonometry) or because of some common underlying talent — a mental faculty promoted in that epoch. For instance the co-occurence of painting with the novel is based on enhanced imagi-nation; geometry with sculpture on the sense of space; history with absolutism on conservative moods; rationalism with arithmetic on combinatorial intellect; wars with technological innovations on the will to power; landscape painting with lyric poetry and mysticism on exalted feelings.

METAMORPHOSIS
The founders of modern chemis-try continue the rhythm of medi-eval alchemists and the sorcerers of antiquity. 347 famous chemists, alchemists and enchantresses of the West. Sorceresses mixing elix-irs, poisons and love potions were the real chemists of the mythic age. The art to handle substances returns periodically every 500 years (p < 0.0006), yet in every age it un-dergoes a metamorphosis. In the mythical age of imagination it took
the form of witchcraft. Since the dawn of the age of rational phi-losophy the same domain has been approached by the protoscience of alchemy. Chemistry is the modern variant of its predecessors.
Ancient wisdom captured this rhythm within the stories about the ages of the Venusian goddesses like Isis, the mistress of spells and enchantment, who was said to be the inspirer of alchemy.
Metamorphosis means that one
and the same mental faculty under-goes development. It does not recur unchanged, but takes on a new form during its subsequent returns. As a further example, it can serve the transformation of Dionysian mysteries into theatre. Generally, the mysteries of the ancient gods were transformed into later “lines of thought”. Initiations of Gabriel and Michael, Oriphiel and Raphael survive within the political left and right, conservative and liberal.

Creativity in historiography pul-sated synchronously in the West and in the Far East (correlation co-efficient r = 0.56; p < 0.000002). 113 greatest historians. Without knowing about each other, famous Chinese and antique western histo-rians were contemporaries. The contents of their work are original, and yet arose at the same time. Times of increased interest in his-tory correspond to the ages of the
archangel Oriphiel.Synchronicity means that ana-
logical cultural patterns, similar creative achievements or inven-tions occur at the same time in two or more distant places on Earth, often with little or no contact be-tween them. The best-known his-torical synchronicity is the axial age. From 600 to 300 B. C. great prophets and thinkers appeared and proclaimed similar ideas in China, India, Persia and Greece: Confucius, Laozi, Buddha, Zoro-aster, Plato, Aristotle. They are said to have been inspired by solar
gods or by the archangel of the Sun, Michael; and the axial epoch was traditionally known as the Michaelic age.
Dozens of synchronicities of all kinds can be observed throughout history. Worldwide democratiza-tion around the 6th century B.C. and imperial centralization around the 2nd century B.C. Alchemists in the 3rd century, dramatists in the 17th. Spherical architecture around the 1st century BC, rhyth-mical architecture around the 11th, and pointed architecture around the 14th century.

Love sublimates into poetry. Sensual love can be spiritualized. Eros can take on higher and lower forms. It can be subtilized and elevated into poetry, music, and bridal mysticism. Or it can become coarse and sink into orgi-astics and rebellions. All of these manifestations, as well as the sum total of erotic energy, are gov-erned by the rhythm of Venus, yet different proportions are trans-
formed and refined in each age. More love was sublimated into poetry during the Middle Ages than in modern times.
Ancient myth distinguished two forms of love — Afrodite Urania (celestial love) and Afrodite Pan-demos (earthly love).
Sublimation means that one mental capability, quality or energy can take on higher and lower forms. Soul qualities can be
ennobled into virtues or degener-ate into vices. The former are creative and liberating, the latter destructive and enslaving. The possibility of sublimation intro-duces a vertical dimension of free-dom through individual spiritual effort into angelology.
Further examples are the subli-mation of bellicosity into rhetoric; receptivity into empirical science or Caesarism into eremitism and self-discipline.

The seven ages of man
after Ptolemy (2nd century). Ac-cording to ancient notions, each stage of
human life is governed by a different planetary intelligence. According to developmental psychology,
there is a typical configuration of mental capacities and traits for each life stage. For instance, phantasy in early child-
hood; intellectual curiosity at school age; emotional bonding in adolescence; rigidity and introversion in old age. These are simply the
properties of classical deities associated with those life stages.Astrology is an ancient typology of personality. The modern classification
of personality disorders is to a certain extent a rediscovery of astral types and their relationships. For instance, astrology long ago formulated the traits of hysterical and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders as well as their complementarity expressed through the opposition of Luna and Saturn.
Astronomy and poetry are cross-correlated with a time delay of 200 years (correlation co-efficient r = 0.54; probability of error p < 1:400 million). 718 greatest astronomers and poets worldwide (according to Kroeber).
Great poets arrive two hundred years after great astronomers. Goethe came 200 years after Kepler in Germany, and so did Nizami after Al-Biruni in Persia, Bhavabhuti after Aryabhatta in India. Circa 200 years had al-ready separated great astronomers and poets in ancient Greece and Rome, like Aristarchus and Hipparchus from Virgil and Ovid; or Zu Chongzhi from Li Bai in China.
Sequence means that various creative fields tend to flourish in a fixed order of succession. Angelology implies this succession in the order of ruling time-spirits. Lesser spirits of time rule for 72 years each and follow the Chaldean order: Sin, Nabu, Inanna, Shamash, Nergal, Marduk, Ninurta. The Chaldean order of plan-etary gods turned later into the sequence of Judeo-Christian archangels: Gabriel, Raphael, Anael, Michael, Samael, Zachariel, Oriphiel. The spirit of love and passion (Venus) comes 200 years later than the inspirer of astronomy and exact sciences (Saturn).
Another example: queens regnant are fol-lowed by the collapse of dynasties worldwide and throughout all history.
