By surveying the development of each in both respects of their contributions as well as their setbacks we can better understand our present circumstances and potential solutions. By critically examining the patterns of history in the fields of science, politics and spirituality we can better understand the mechanics and interrelation of each to know how to better navigate or possibly even avoid many of the recurring pitfalls, brick walls and stagnancies along the helical axle of historical progress toward real advancement.
