When the Desert Religion overtook European spirituality, it introduced a linear approach to existence: you're born, you live, you sin, you fear your creator, you die, you're judged, you spend eternity in heaven or hell. This mindset perfectly reflects the barren ecosystem of the desert. Conversely, our pre-Christian belief revolved around the circular nature of existence: you're born/reborn, live heroically, honour your ancestors, meet your end with bravery, enter the spirit realm then return again. This meshes perfectly with a climate that has four distinct seasons, and lends to a cyclical understanding of life. We Europeans have an intrinsic understanding of the cyclical, and once we undo the fetters of Christianity, we can return to the sacred path of our ancestors.
