Not from first try, but I guess everyone would accommodate soon enough.

The oroboros is a symbol of the universe as a self-reflexive isolated system

Yes, but that doesn't make it true.

Yes, would be pretty rad to relive everything again and again.

I've been doing alright so far, for an eternity even.

It's Friday night on 4chan. Wild guess, none of us are capable of the eternal return

I've already survived through the shit ı went through, no reason to fear it under the exact same conditions.

so in one word, the eternal return is the occidental samsara.
(when you meditate, you become conscious of your ''past lives'' (it is not really past lives, but it feels real, you live them as real, just as dreams are real and reality today is real)
the purpose of saying these past lives is to observe that you have been embracing the same degeneracy life after life, to this one very life of yours in 2016. what is this degeneracy? the ignorance of the sterility of hedonism (to conduct your life) ).


but the eternal return is intellectual, so it is a hit or miss on its effects ''to change your life'' (which means ''to break your faith in hedonism''').

the asian meditations is far more systematic, since you see before your eyes that you are a degenerate as long as you have faith in what you think and what you feel (and seeking better sensations (or at least, avoiding those that you do not like)).

If the Eternal Return is true but when you're reborn your past life will have absolutely no effect on your current one and you will no longer remember anything of your past life then it doesn't even really matter if it's true or not does it?

Yes

>>1390578

really? I thought it was more a return where all your actions have the same result. and more on the meditation part i thought it was just a mental excersize to live lives from different perspectives to better understand humanity

Kind of weird since infinity means that it won't be able to repeat itself.

But, we do just keep going.

Don't most people technically agree, in a tacit way? After all, given the exact same conditions, would we not still make the same decisions? We could say we wouldn't *now*, but only because we have the results of our past actions. So the problem hinders on whether you believe the past to be a different, separat thing from the present, or not, doesn't it?
