The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass... Roland00 Send a noteboard - 15/06/2017 10:40:42 PM

Remember though, The wheel weaves as the wheel wills

Yes it is a big circle, it is a circle where patterns keep on repeating itself, but even if it's a circle we do not end up in the same place we started in. The snake / dragon / ouroboros continues to eat its own tail, but the snake is not the same at each stage of the journey as he was previously in previous lives. Aka metamorphosis happens.

This is why the wheel is not a perfect wheel but instead a spiral in many myths and religions. We do not return exactly to where it all began, but the cycle of change is constant so that each revolution of the wheel is different than all of them before hand.

Remember with eternal recurrence / eternal return that the universe will always continue, and until perfect happens (and I question the whole idea of perfection) us repeating the pattern of eternal recurrence / return is not a bad thing but instead something to rejoice in. This is not a new thought, this is not something that Robert Jordan / Brandon Sanderson but you can find these themes in Indian Philosophy and Religion, Chinese, Egyptian, Pythagorean Philosophies / Cults, Stoics, Aztec and Mayan, and so on (there are many more examples).

Rejoice Chora, and now I will leave you with the song Church on the Hill with Kotomine Kirei.

Rejoice, Emiya Shirou. Your wish will finally come true!

I will say this regarding the Democrats lack of introspection after the November loss. The Shrike - 14/06/2017 02:58:17 PM 1468 Views
Totally agreed with this article... Simon - 14/06/2017 03:58:40 PM 1498 Views
The funny thing about violence is you can't control it. Tom - 14/06/2017 04:31:35 PM 1460 Views
So you thought that would scare me Tom? Roland00 - 14/06/2017 09:30:34 PM 1408 Views
The aim was not to scare anyone. It was to show that violence is not controllable. Tom - 15/06/2017 04:24:12 AM 1454 Views
I thought everyone already understood that? I was wrong? Roland00 - 15/06/2017 10:26:04 PM 1484 Views
especially since the gunman has been identified damookster - 14/06/2017 05:42:14 PM 1465 Views

How embarrassing that he accidentally ran for their presidential nomination! Cannoli - 14/06/2017 07:18:57 PM 1346 Views
Not an accident aerocontrols - 14/06/2017 07:28:12 PM 1358 Views

You mean the Clinton cabal stopped him Tom - 15/06/2017 04:22:41 AM 1336 Views
I think you give too much credit to the Clintons aerocontrols - 15/06/2017 04:49:26 AM 1411 Views

well no other democrats wanted to run against her there was an opening *NM* random thoughts - 15/06/2017 09:41:50 PM 783 Views
I think the gunman has more in common with people who beat their wives than Bernie Sanders Roland00 - 14/06/2017 09:08:54 PM 1357 Views
Do we know conclusively Bernie doesn't beat his wife? *NM* Tom - 15/06/2017 04:24:54 AM 756 Views
There are valid points, but rather a lot of bullshit inbetween for my taste. Legolas - 14/06/2017 07:07:10 PM 1600 Views
Obviously excessive hyperbole is a problem from both sides damookster - 14/06/2017 07:20:59 PM 1400 Views
Sure, I will admit that. Legolas - 14/06/2017 07:23:24 PM 1390 Views
No Derek Hunter is not all knowing, he repeats the same schtick and eventually it may come true. *NM* Roland00 - 14/06/2017 08:59:14 PM 777 Views
There you go again. Cannoli - 14/06/2017 07:52:47 PM 1415 Views
Yeah, that part sucked.... Jeordam - 14/06/2017 09:14:10 PM 1298 Views

Good Idea.... Jeordam - 15/06/2017 06:59:47 PM 1316 Views
Yup. Isn't it shocking? Legolas - 14/06/2017 09:18:45 PM 1421 Views
What Can I say, Derek Hunter is a publicity whore, and has made his living making culture wars Roland00 - 14/06/2017 08:58:07 PM 1317 Views

I don't, or at least not in an American context, but I agree about the dead horse. Legolas - 14/06/2017 09:32:23 PM 1415 Views
That's not correct. Tom - 15/06/2017 04:19:06 AM 1497 Views
I agree with Tom's premise, if not the content. nossy - 15/06/2017 09:46:57 AM 1399 Views
I really should post more. We're letting Tom and Cannoli get away with far too much. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/06/2017 10:12:53 AM 696 Views
YES, YOU SHOULD nossy - 15/06/2017 11:09:34 AM 1332 Views

Hmm... I miss Camilla too. aerocontrols - 15/06/2017 08:55:04 PM 1227 Views
Sad but true - the left is truly unhinged, full of violence and hate Anonymous2000 - 15/06/2017 03:36:20 AM 1339 Views
I was considering making a post called "what the fuck is wrong with progressives?" Ghavrel - 15/06/2017 06:49:10 AM 1472 Views
It's because they have begun to eat themselves. The Shrike - 15/06/2017 02:14:23 PM 1396 Views
Yeah, but... aerocontrols - 15/06/2017 02:46:51 PM 1443 Views

Isn't that a good characterization of much of the Left? Tom - 15/06/2017 04:09:10 PM 1312 Views
Maybe? A large section of the academic left, anyway aerocontrols - 15/06/2017 05:17:14 PM 1254 Views
Well, yeah nossy - 15/06/2017 04:36:37 PM 1375 Views
It's only nuts if you see the left as a single group that can be led and controlled. Legolas - 15/06/2017 09:04:05 PM 1308 Views
It's nuts because the left sees everyone as a single group that can be led and controlled. aerocontrols - 16/06/2017 01:05:41 AM 1184 Views
I think I understand that, actually. A libertarian friend pointed it out to me. Ghavrel - 16/06/2017 12:30:09 AM 1270 Views

No offense intended, but have *you* read it carefully? Tom - 16/06/2017 01:41:19 AM 1523 Views
I've read it somewhat carefully. I think I said my point poorly, though. Ghavrel - 16/06/2017 03:23:26 AM 1345 Views

Also, I don't mind people bluntly telling me I'm wrong when they have good reason to. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/06/2017 03:24:14 AM 680 Views
Poor Weimar. The Shrike - 16/06/2017 12:32:09 PM 1346 Views

Quit gaslighting me, dude *NM* Tom - 16/06/2017 02:18:17 PM 701 Views
Why do you hate the word gaslighting? Roland00 - 16/06/2017 08:42:34 PM 1300 Views
It's used by progressives whenever someone disagrees with them. Ghavrel - 16/06/2017 11:24:03 PM 1421 Views
So let me come at this from a different angle Roland00 - 17/06/2017 04:48:37 AM 1321 Views
I hope this doesn't offend, but you sound like you're talking to a child. nossy - 17/06/2017 09:55:40 AM 1264 Views
