The eternal recurrence is the idea that all events that have happened will happen again and again
Thus Spoke Zarathustra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
…for this kind of thinking. What is acted out is gone. I now also question whether traumatic re-enactments are all that recurring. Those who may have been possessed of Jews and actors from Shakespeare’s period would know this to be true but I also have experienced visions of these people cleaning as they call it so I cannot deny they are also part of the perpetuation of the problem by re-creating it in the mind. I will say that I have failed to recreate my beating since it happened in 1964 but I have not stopped wondering about why it happened. It did happen again in 1998 when my niece started swatting me on the behind and I got really upset. I believe trauma has the opposite effect as stated in PTSD A Clinical Review. The repetition is in the psychic entanglements and their projections or dissociations.
