ABSTRACT
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.
Keywords: Stones of Destiny. Spheres of scrutiny. Trial of Orestes. Semantic analysis. Phenomenological interpretation.
