Old ideas are new if you discover them for your self while they are fresh in your mind, before finding out that others in the past had the same or simular insights.

The knowing that all good concepts and theories have simular aspects, from the anicent TAO (book of nature) to modern science, demonstrates the existence of a unified understanding,

In my opinon.

Sometimes we can see where human advancement is the side effect of a culture after the withdraw from drugs takes place. The drugs produce the visionary creativity and then once sober that data (ability) can be put into practical useage.

Withdraws sometimes ocur through migrations of people from one area to another, leaving behind the environment where the plants (etc.) grew that they used to make those brews (whatever) for the vision quests.

In native tribes that continued the use of the natural drug we see they did not progress materialistically because they are content with experiencing the vision within.
But when isolated or seperated from the natural drug they manifested the vision externally with building projects and technology of different sorts. The effect of the visionary impact can be handed down genetically for a few generations (or longer?).

For example a wonderful building might be the external vision that was created with physical properties materialistically - so people experience the vision as a building rather then experiencing the vision directly within their minds chemically.

I do not have any links for that observation, it just came to me from out of the blue.
