Eternal return

Today, it is generally thought that the Universe is open, by which it is meant that the expansion is eternal, and indeed, even accelerating. This strikes at the very heart of the old paradigm of eternal return. This announcement of a one-way diaspora originates from a certain type of exploding star, visible from... 

This conclusion destroys any hope of eternal return on the cosmic scene. However, it only applies if we can assume that past supernovas were exactly like today s, that is, those observed in nearby galactic suburbs. This assumption has raised some suspicion amongst specialists in stellar evolution. 

Much of world history exhibits a pattern of political cycles, superimposed on the cycles of day and night, full moon to full moon, seasons, droughts and IcKusts. No wonder that cyclical theories of history and visions of the eternal return are so attractive. But things can also get steadily worse or steadily better. The trend may be masked by cycles, but not indefinitely. Destruction of the environment is often nearly impossible to undo. Two thousand years ago the land around the Mediterranean, includ-... 

Together, you both return to the Great Hall and back into the chapel. On the altar, by the Sword of Power, rests a small cushion. The Regent tells you that this is the appropriate place for the clavicule to be kept and reminds you to come to the Chapel of the Rose-Croix, there to invoke the blessing of the Eternal upon any journey you may undertake within, or without, the Tower of the Art. 

True progress, from the esoteric viewpoint, consists of the alignment of the lower, personal consciousness with the higher, spiritual consciousness, to create an efficient tool whereby the will of the Eternal may be fulfilled in Earth, even as it is in the heavens above. This, of course, is the true reason for the knowledge and training imparted by the rulers of the Mysteries—the Lords of Compassion—and is the only truly acceptable reason for any esoteric work. This is the true line of advancement, the Path that leads to the fulfillment of the Great Work, for in His will is our perfect peace. All other lines of progress, all other lines of interest, ire but partial aspects of this Path of Return, which is open to all humanity. 

It returns, and is united to the glorified body, in which, after the Resurrection, soul and spirit dwell together once more in eternal glory, never to be separated again throughout all eternity. 

Du Bartas, Forman, and the elusive I.W. probably drew on similar sources and traditions and their lists suggest an association of the Fall, disease, and alchemy across a spectrum of literature, medical, alchemical, literary, and moral, in sixteenth-century Europe. Forman perused this material in pursuit of information about man, the cosmos, medicine, and disease. He documented what happened when Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge and sowed the seeds of disease within their bodies. Banished from Paradise, they kept free will and the knowledge of good and evil, the two vehicles by which humankind had thereafter tried to return to the tree of life, once again to eat the food of angels and achieve eternity. 

It seems quite natural to describe the extended part of a quantum particle not by wavepackets composed of infinite harmonic plane waves but instead by finite waves of a well-defined frequency. To a person used to the Fourier analysis, this assumption—that it is possible to have a finite wave with a well-defined frequency—may seem absurd. We are so familiar with the Fourier analysis that when we think about a finite pulse, we immediately try to decompose, to analyze it into the so-called pure frequencies of the harmonic plane waves. Still, in nature no one has ever seen a device able to produce harmonic plane waves. Indeed, this concept would imply real physical devices existing forever with no beginning or end. In this case it would be necessary to have a perfect circle with an endless constant motion whose projection of a point on the centered axis gives origin to the sine or cosine harmonic function. This would mean that we should return to the Ptolemaic model for the Havens, where the heavenly bodies localized on the perfect crystal balls turning in constant circular motion existed from continuously playing the eternal and ethereal harmonic music of the spheres. 

Monarch," said Fable, as she bowed to him respectfully "Hail to your well-founded throne Glad news for your suffering heart A speedy return of Wisdom An eternal awakening to peace Rest to restless love Transfiguration of the heart Long life to antiquity and form to futurity "... 

Absolutely. How about another example What is the value of (will-stop eternity) (eternity (quote ())) doesn t return a value. We just saw that. 

In the introduction to High Techne Rutsky writes that The aesthetic impulse in modernism continually returns to romantic notions of the aesthetic - or of beauty, at least - as an eternal or spiritual realm, unchanging and whole [...] To this end, it often coimects the spiritual and the technological, attempting to impart a sense of wholeness and the eternal to technological forms (Rutsky 1999, p. 9). 

Tis true, my dear Gold, tis God who has given you the Honour, the Durability, and the Beauty, which makes you precious tis for that Reason that you are obliged to return (eternal) Thanks (to the divine Bounty,) and not to despise others as you do for I can tell you, that you are not that Gold, of which the Writings of the Philosophers make mention but that Gold is hidden in my Bosom.

Let us wish that these pages provide a contribution towards an efficient return to Prayer, and towards t si erior and eternal objectives. Then, perhaps, some among us will realize that hope for wh ich our venerated masters, Don Martinez de Pascualis, Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin and Jean-Baptiste Willermoz, fought throughout their lives, and which Robert Fludd defined so well in a lapidary manner ... 

If God were infinity, then divergent series would be God s angels flying higher and higher to reach Him or Her. Some angels fly faster than others, but given an eternity, all will return to their Creator in the Celestial Palace. 

Bulge-eyed and horrified, he stared at the corpse for a moment, then vomited helplessly. His head was whirling as though the eternal nightmare was returning to clasp him once more.
