Chronicles of a Metaphysical War – Eternal Cycles of Conflict

Wars are not merely battles; they are eternal cycles that mirror the conflicts of the human soul. This narrative explores how ancient myths—from Egypt’s struggle between order and chaos to the Mapuche’s resistance against destruction—reveal cosmic dualities that continue to shape history. Wars, seen as rituals, drive transformation, yet “peace” is nothing more than an interlude. Historical clashes such as Greece versus Persia or the Cold War echo these same dualities, which persist today in tensions like democracy versus authoritarianism or technology versus tradition. The key to breaking the cycle lies in awakening ancestral memory—reuniting the soul with the cosmos.

Reflect: do you recognize these patterns in our world today?

 

War as the Pulse of the Human Cosmos

War has never been an accident. It is the pulse that beats beneath civilizations, the hidden current that gives rhythm to history. From primordial stories of gods in combat to the latest tremors of global geopolitics, humanity repeats the same choreography of creation and destruction, order and chaos. What we call history is often nothing but ritual in disguise, a pageant where myths take flesh and return to the stage of the world.

This chronicle unfolds not to narrate events, but to reveal the invisible script: myths as mirrors of the collective soul, conflicts as the outward projection of inner fractures, and war itself as the eternal return of a cosmic dissonance.

I. Myths as Mirrors of the Collective Soul

Since antiquity, myths have been less about fiction than about memory—deep inscriptions of how cultures understood themselves and their place in the cosmos. They were maps of inner landscapes written in the language of gods, beasts, and cosmic battles.

1.1 Egypt: Horus and Set

The tale of Horus and Set is not simply a duel of deities but the archetype of civilization defending order against the storm of chaos. The falcon, radiant with justice, strikes the desert beast who threatens to dissolve Ma’at—the cosmic balance that sustains existence. Pharaohs became Horus embodied, defeating chaos with every coronation, repeating in flesh the eternal myth. Yet behind this narrative lies something older still: echoes of rivalries in the heavens, ancestral conflicts that may have left their trace in our very blood.

1.2 The Americas: Caicai and Tren Tren

Among the Mapuche, two serpents contend: one of the sea, drowning creation in floods; the other of the earth, raising mountains to preserve life. Humanity survives in the narrow corridor between annihilation and salvation. This myth whispers of resilience, of the perpetual contest between devastation and rebirth. It is also a memory of worlds undone—floods, cataclysms, civilizations buried and forgotten—an ancestral voice reminding us that each age may end as abruptly as the last.

1.3 East and West: Avatars of Duality

On the plain of Kurukshetra, a warrior hesitates. His soul trembles between doubt and duty until he is told that the true battlefield lies within, that action aligned with cosmic order transcends the fear of death. In Persia, the cosmic fire struggles eternally with the abyss of shadow. Across cultures, the same polarity unfolds: light against darkness, duty against hesitation, order against chaos.

Perhaps what appears as eternal myth is not eternity at all, but repetition—histories duplicated, cycles prolonged, dualities staged again and again so that humanity remains captive within them.

II. War as a Historical Cycle

What myths proclaim, history enacts. Humanity does not escape the cycle but incarnates it in empires, treaties, crusades, and revolutions.

2.1 The Philosophical Current of War

Ancient fragments already declared war the father of all things, the hidden artisan of gods and men, of slaves and kings. Later visions saw in conflict the forge where values are tested, where life itself must shatter to renew. Others spoke of war as the continuation of human will, a rational extension of power. Still others whispered of war as a ritual, a carefully orchestrated mechanism of control.

In every vision, war ceases to be accidental. It is structure. It is necessity. It is the crucible in which history is endlessly remade.

2.2 The Illusion of Peace

What we call peace is often but war in disguise. The Roman peace was written in conquest. The Cold War was a peace suspended over the abyss of annihilation. True peace is not the silence of weapons, but the equilibrium of opposites. Without such balance, war inevitably rises again, a correction written into the very fabric of reality.

III. Civilizations as Masks of the Archetype

Empires reenact divine duels under new names.

• Greece against Persia, cast as reason against barbarism.

• Rome against Carthage, law against commerce.

• Capitalist West against Communist East, freedom against equality.

Different banners, the same polarity. Humanity changes costumes; the myth remains.

IV. Consciousness and the Lattice of Reality

To see beyond the cycle of war is to glimpse the deeper architecture of perception itself. Here the work of inner visionaries becomes indispensable.

Jacobo Grinberg spoke of a lattice of consciousness, a neural field that weaves reality from attention and intention. For him, myths were not merely stories but psychic maps embedded in that lattice—projections of collective imagination onto the screen of the real. When societies tell of gods in battle, they are speaking of patterns in the very structure of consciousness: tensions, dualities, unresolved harmonies.

If the field of perception itself carries these archetypes, then war is not only political or cosmic—it is neurological, experiential, existential. The battlefield outside is a mirror of the lattice within. To transform the world, one must first transform the field of consciousness that sustains it.

V. Contemporary Allegories

Even now, the old patterns persist.

• The struggle between democracy and authoritarianism mirrors Horus and Set anew.

• The tension between globalization and nationalism is but Caicai and Tren Tren reborn.

• The debate between artificial intelligence and human tradition is Kurukshetra in digital form.

Modernity dresses in suits and algorithms, but beneath the costume the myth still breathes.

Chronosophos Speaks

*“The myths were never lies. They were rehearsals. The falcon and the serpent, the fire and the shadow, the warrior and his doubt—these were not gods at play but mirrors held to our divided souls. Humanity, blind to its reflection, projects its inner fractures onto nations, ideologies, and the earth itself. Thus we march into the same war, again and again, under different masks.

You call it history. I call it ritual. The adversary you fear across the battlefield has always lived within your own lattice of perception. Until you cease to worship duality, you will not break the wheel. Peace is not the silence of weapons but the union of opposites, reconciled in the memory of the ancestral Codex.

Remember this: who ignores the myth is ignored by reality. To awaken is to see the cycle and to step beyond it.”*
