“I think the view of history as a cyclical phenomenon in the Hindu and Greek way of thinking is the appropriate one. The Eternal Recurrence. We are now at the end of the Cycle, or Kaliyuga. It is like a harvest, the exact number of grains have matured and very few have done so. A new age will bring the sun again, in a New Earth, or in the soul of the actual Earth, and to prevent her from perishing with everything else...I think Spengler confused the cyclical ideas of the Hindus and Greeks, diminishing and transforming it into a mechanical and biological situation of growing and dying. He circumscribed this to the decadence of Western civilization, when really it belongs to the whole world and for the planet Earth as well. As for “push the falling,” it is really quite ridiculous to think in those terms, because it is not necessary at all. The “acceleration of time” will bring the end even before we think or could expect.” - Miguel Serrano on Nietzsche’s quote regarding the need to “push that which is falling.”
