Proposition 053 – Shared circumstances change circles

Socially shared changes in circumstances may cause similarly di­rected changes in personal civilisations that affect circle civilisations af­ter a delay.

• Explanation. Technological, economic, demographic, political or other social changes may con­front many individuals with comparable new circumstances during the same pe­riod. Correspond­ing changes in personal civilisations may consequently arise. A circle civilisation changes only when such changes become sufficiently widespread and socially operative within the circle. A de­lay therefore generally occurs between changes in per­sonal civilisations and changes in circle civilisations, and this may cause tensions.
