The Loop of Life differs from the circle of life in that the loop represents another cycle of human evolution through the ages that did not result in the proper distribution and usage of resources and energy. The Loop of life, and all of its human evolution only resulted in humans evolving to a point (potentially the same point) but did not Thrive to the level of optimal equilibrium and function. For a better understanding, the author recommends the movie called, THRIVE.
In the Loop of life, the dragon or serpent is id-induced, self-absorbed, haughty, regards the self as superior to other humans, supreme, better-than, fearful of different cultures, afraid of alternate ideas, regards self and cultural or racial origin as chosen, locked in the voids greed, of vanity and self-preservation; The result, total consumption of ones self both consciously and unconsciously.
