What is history?


I disagree with Spengler that World history is the biography of the rise and fall of civilizations (The Decline of the West). History is the biography of the evolution of life to Godhood. Life rises, life falls, life advances, but the overall thrust of history, not only on earth but in the Kosmos, is the evolution to Godhood. This is the sacred view of history, seeing only human history can be a truncated or even profane view of history.
