One who had been in the other life about 3000 to 4000 years said he knew that there are gyres, or that things roll around and repeat, for everything that exists has its own spiraling motion so that it may return. The reason for this suggested itself to me from within, namely that none of those in such a gyre should be broken [cf. Is. 42:3], but the changes imposed thereby must be moderated until they are brought gradually into different states, so that they may not be hurt. For to undergo sudden slides from one state to another, is to be broken: hence the gyres. But this ancient one (Abram) said that there are a variety of general gyres that come up, which never return, as he knows from experience. So it is suggested to my thought that the variations are perpetual and eternal, and thus cannot really return. And the general gyres influence the less general, and these the individual ones, causing varieties of each according to their nature. They are spiraling motions of states. 1748, 25 Aug.
