Spiral

From The Yuriban Encyclopedia

An important concept in Yuriban religion and philosophy, the spiral is the shape used to represent time and the progression of the soul. In visual terms, a spiral is a line that originates in a central point and moves out and away as it revolves. Natives to Yuriba believes that time is shaped similarly except in three dimensions: In addition to moving out and away it also rises.

Traditionally, it's believed that the rotation of the spiral can be seen in cycles of things that are similar but slightly different such as the seasons. In the same sense, it's believed that the lives of most individuals will show several repeating trends; often these are seen as being a clue to something important to be learned in this life.
