2.2 Frontier Effects

We refer the reader here to the text of World History And The Eonic Effect
for the discussion of so-called 'frontier effect', that is the way in which the
eonic sequence keeps on the move, always renewing itself in a series of frontier
areas. This perception at once clarifies what can only be the at first odd
appearance of sudden innovation in an out of the way place and time, in the
shadow of the mighty Egyptian and Mesopotamian empires. A similar analysis
applies to Archaic Greece. Two zones adjacent to the previous areas of
manifestation suddenly take off, like acorns sprouting in the wake of a great
oak tree. The tiny Israel emerges from nowhere to become a new zone of
emergentist action. Most remarkable. It is not surprising the composers of the
Old Testament thought their history remarkable. They were very stubborn in
claiming that a particular zone and period had special historical status, even
as this confused the later phase of globalization. We can see now the reason for
their insistence, and the way beyond the dilemma that created.
