The movement of time consists of two movements, which we could call the outgoing movement and the backmovement

The movement of time consists of two universal movements, which we could call the outgoing movement and the backmovement: future and past, creation and destruction.

These two movements are reflected throughout the Universe in a multiplicity of different lifecycles: they are Samsara´s  wheel of up-cycles which are followed by down-cycles and vice versa (for instance life and death, success and fiasco, joy and sorrow) - all this which is lying behind the law of Karma and rebirth.

This Universe is for instance considered to be a reincarnation of a past Universe, in the same way as a human is being considered to be a reincarnation of a past existence.

As long as we don´t solve our philosophical struggles - the structure of society must necessarily be crushed

Our striving is a combat, or a struggle, in order to transform what you are to something you wish to be.

I speak exclusively about the philosophical struggle, where you seek to produce yourself, the struggle of meaning, not about the struggle, which has to be led with a physical problem, as for instance an engineering project, or a discovery, or a change, which is of purely technical kind. I only talk about the philosophical struggle, which always overshadow the technical.

You can with the utmost care - as you draw advantage of the limitless knowledge which science has granted us - build a wonderful society. But as long as you don't understand those philosophical sticking points, the philosophical struggle which is going on - as long as these philosophical overtones and streams not are being solved - the structure of society must, how wonderful and solid it might be, necessarily be crushed, in the way it, through history, again and again has happened.
