2.3 Stream And Sequence

One way given by the eonic model for looking at the relationship of the
complex whole and part shown in the eonic effect with its series of transitions
is the idea of stream and sequence. We see an action on two levels, the stream
of individual cultures and the larger sequence to which they contribute. We can
thus clarify the division into 'two pieces' that we see in each case of the
transitions at the stage of the Axial Age in the larger eonic sequence. Thus,
each transitional area shows a sudden transformation in the prior outstanding
cultural stream and the stream aspect of that culture is brought to contribute
to the larger sequence. Most remarkable. We see thus the way the stream of a
Canaanite culture is transformed into the stepping down for a much larger
evolutionary sequence, a formulation that expresses perfectly what we see with
the history of Israel, and indeed that of all cases in the parallel Axial phase
of the greater sequence.
