A PHENOMENOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE SPHERES OF SCRUTINY

This essay addresses the theme of the spheres of scrutiny, in an attempt to make a phenomenological interpretation of their origin and existence and how they represented enormous relevance for the life, existence, death and destiny of individuals and entire nations, surviving to the present day, under a determining symbolic aspect. This is a bibliographical research, based on epic, classical and historical studies, until reaching a condition of deep interpretation, a description and a synthesis that allows to clarify, from a semantic understanding, their influence on modern thought, keeping alive a tradition and the reminiscences of a time. The objective of this essay is to understand how the spheres of scrutiny interfere in the maintenance of harmony and agreement among members of initiatory orders. The spheres of destiny were so called because they were responsible for determining the good or bad luck of an individual in moments of crisis, that is, the fate between life and death would be decided through them and the decision would be final, because the choice was beyond the possibility of any human intervention in the process. Nowadays, the secret ballot regarding the fate of the candidates is more open, a change in the process and, if the distributor of the spheres is perceptive enough, he or she will be able to know which of the judges voted for or against the candidate. It is concluded that, with the development of human thought and its distancing from the mysticism that marked the beginning of its existence, the power of hidden beings was suppressed and, along with it, the belief in the inexorability of Destiny, which caused subjectivity to arise in place of such superstition, the freedom to judge the causes according to one's own understanding of the causal link understood about human relations marked by all types of conflict.
