What If You Had to Relive Each Moment Of Your Life Again And Again (Forever?)

What if you had to live your life not only once, but innumerable times over? 

Would this be a blessing? A curse? 

Would you delight in the opportunity to live it again? 

Or, if you haven't lived such a good life thus far, would you bewail the prospect? 

In his work, "The Gay Science", Friedrich Nietzsche explores this idea. He does so through his doctrine of "Eternal Recurrence", of which the Pre-Socratic philosopher, Heraclitus, is acknowledged to have been the originator. 

In this meditation, we take up the doctrine of Eternal Recurrence and think about it deeply.

What is Pneuma by Daniel Finneran?

Mindfulness for the Thinking Mind.

A soothing, soporific voice with which to calm and center yourself.

Episodes on themes as diverse as walking, sleeping, stretching, anxiety, worldly possessions, positive affirmations, lunch hours, and morning commutes. Meditations and sleep stories for every occasion at any stage of life.

From Shakespeare to the Stoics, Coleridge to the Platonists, the Buddha to the Transcendentalists, we'll borrow our wisdom from the best who have ever thought, and strengthen our minds with their collective genius.
