| | Eternal return - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The religious scholar Mircea Eliade has written of the theme of the eternal return as expressed in the world's religions. | | | In the 2003 reimagining of Battlestar Galactica, the polytheistic religion of the humans of the Twelve Colonies is centered on the belief of eternal recurrence, and the religious elements of the show frequently incorporate this idea. | | | In ancient Egypt, the scarab (or dung beetle) was viewed as a sign of eternal renewal and reemergence of life, a reminder of the life to come. |

| | Eternity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Augustine of Hippo wrote that time exists only within the created universe, so that God exists outside of time; for God there is no past or future, but only an eternal present. | | | While in the popular mind, eternity often simply means existing for an infinite, i.e., limitless, amount of time, many have used it to refer to a timeless existence altogether outside of time. | | | Near-death experience testimonies typically speak of eternity as a timeless existence by stating that portions of experiences in the eternal world lasted, say, "an hour or a month, I don't know. |

| | The Eternal Recurrence of "l'effroyablement ancien" |
| | With the affirmation of the eternal recurrence, both possibilities are deprived of their place within a teleological - their persistence or suspension in repetition speaks of this loss of history, and their persistence is the persistence of the enigma of architecture's dead language at the closure of history. | | | This vision of eternal recurrence searches for words; a riddle that "can't be asked twice," eternal recurrence is always a symmetrical enigma (of origins, identity, and time). | | | Repetition is the return of the "untimely" from the well of eternity (in the labyrinth of eternal recurrence) prohibiting both stasis and closure "by willing the never-ending repetition of finitude and time, no longer seeking a ground in absolutes beyond the negativity of the world-processes." |

| | It is there that the idea of eternal recurrence is presented. | | | It is more my opinion that Nietzsche just offered eternal recurrence as an incentive to do things in your life that you wouldn't mind doing over and over again for eternity. | | | What I gathered from the story was that Zarathustra and his short friend were seeing the same path. |

| | He did not need eternal life when he was offered it by Anu, because he was needed on earth, he was the priest-king, the foundation of the state which was being built in Eridu, the place where kingship descended from the heavens. | | | It is for all these reasons that we suggest that the Eternal Return might have been a core understated principle of Mesopotamian religion. | | | What we aim at showing is that Ancient Mesopotamians might have viewed the relationship between heaven and earth as an eternal flow, reflecting the bond or Duranki between the Great Above and the Great Below from the very beginning as a core principle for their religion. |

| | Eternal Return |
| | This perspective on the Eternal Return is most readily seen in Nietzsche's parable of the demon who steals into our "loneliest loneliness" and tells us that we will live our life as we have lived it so far, over and over, in every nuance, identical. | | | Neither the Eternal Return, nor God, is provable in any empirical or logical system. | | | The Eternal Return then, becomes an ideal of reincarnation that affirms rather than rejects life. |

| | Spiritual Need and the Eternal Return |
| | There is no eternal world of spiritually enlightened bliss. | | | He overcomes nihilism in himself and in his culture by thinking through the logic of decline and ascent, mirroring nature and standing as an example to all the world of what mankind is capable of. | | | "...behold, you are the teacher of the eternal recurrence -- that is your destiny!" (24) With the acceptance of the underlying truth of this doctrine, both Nietzsche and Zarathustra take a step towards the overcoming of resentment and weakness, allowing their spirits to take on the child-like characteristics of the highest development of the soul. |

| | The Eternal Return: Imperialism and ‘Globalization’ Revisited - Empire? - Global Policy Forum |
| | By rejecting the belief in the 'beyond', the limitless, the transcendental, we reject also the belief in the capacity for eternal novelty. | | | The recently attained preponderance of the scientific s spirit over the religious, God-inventing spirit leads us to the belief that the world, as force, may not be thought of as unlimited, that the world lacks the capacity for eternal novelty. | | | Markets were embedded until the end of the eighteenth century; after that, and throughout the nineteenth century, they were dis-embedded; then, after the nineteenth century system collapsed in the course of the world wars, a compromise was concluded which resulted in markets being re-embedded. |

| | Classics Network -- Essay -- Nietzsche's Eternal Return |
| | Notes on various aspects of Nietzsche's doctrine of Eternal Recurrence or Eternal Return. | | | Both involve affirming life, and it seems (especially in Thus Spake Zarathustra) that the highest possible affirmation is that of the eternal return. | | | There are strong parallels between affirming/not affirming eternal return and master/slave morality, which are connected through the ubermensch. |

| | The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!' Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? | | | Now, however long a time may pass, according to the eternal laws governing the combinations of this eternal play of repetition, all configurations that have previously existed on this earth must yet meet, attract, repulse, kiss, and corrupt each other again.... | | | The world is an eternal process of coming to be and passing away. |

| | Here we return weekly to sit within the intersection of the most holy and the most essential. | | | There was just what some would call the “eternal now”—only the present. | | | All of these could be understood as doors that opened into a sacred time frame.All these rituals and traditions were practices by which human beings had stepped out of their profane daily activities and were able to live, in some sense, in the timelessness of the eternal. |
